Bollig is dinosaur thinking at its worst. We won the Cup without any significant contribution from him. We didn't need him then and we don't need him now. The only reason he is in the lineup at all is to draw a certain population of cementheads who only actually watch hockey for the fights.
Um, no. Bollig is inserted into the lineup strategically to provide an element of protection for the organization's more valuable assets. Sometimes that strategy backfires when game situations (close games) dictate that he keep the mitts on after he scores a goal. The cement heads are the guys out there taking run after run at the heads of irreplaceable players (happened as usual to Toews again last night). Within the context of the current rules and officiating, this is the NHL planet that we live on.
