A better question would be....WHERE WAS THE RETRIBUTION!
Mr. Smid.
You will be introduced to Mr. Peluso at a time and place to be determined.
Anyone not willing to fight a talentless goon isn't going to concerned about hitting another player
Dressing a enforcer isn't much of a deferent.
Does anyone think that Thorburn, Stuart, or even Kane wouldn't have fought Smed if he had been willing?
I'm not sure there was an opportunity that made sense.
Kane took a stride or two towards him, but why negate a power play?
After that it's a one goal game. Not the time to settle a score.
So what you are saying is that having Peluso in the lineup wouldn't have mattered because the Jets couldn't afford a instigator.
Where was our punching bag (Thorburn) after the Smid cheap shot on Scheff? Really don't know what Thorburn brings to the team any more, can't fight, can't play hockey.
Sitting on the bench, the EXACT same place Peluso would be.
Fighters are pointless. So very pointless. Don't get it. A skilled player like Smid has nothing to fear from a goon or grinder like Thorburn or Peluso. This isn't the 70's, nobody is charging off the bench to even the scores, and no coach will accept a goon going out there later and taking penalties to "even the score", hell why would a fan even want them to, it HURTS the team.
A better question would be....WHERE WAS THE RETRIBUTION!
You guys got it all wrong...

Weird fact:
Taking all the fights last season in the NHL that are clear wins according to HockeyFights.com...
The team with the loser in the fight was more likely to score a goal in the next few minutes than the winner.........
So maybe Thorburn is useful!

That seems like super time consuming stat to come up with
Here's my explanation for that:
Lets say Player A levels Player B. This happens because A physical player, while B is either less physical or not prepared to be hit.
Player C see's this occur. Player C feels that he needs to do something, because Player A just took a liberty with Player B (and everyone love player B, obviously). Player A and C fight. A whoops C, because C isn't really a fighter, he's a guy that saw something unacceptable and answered the bell.
Who gets the bigger boost?
I argue Player C's team is all jazzed up from seeing a teammate stick up for another despite the fact its not players C's role.
Player A's team is happy, but Player A is big dude, and C is kinda a *****. So no real win one for the gipper moment there.
And that is my best attempt to rationalize your stat, given that I'm a fan of Peluso and any information that prohibits me from potentially seeing him is my Kryptonite.
