We have a lot of guys that could play tough but aren't seriously suited to that role.

We didn't sign any of the free agents I thought we might to ensure our boys don't get pushed around and there aren't many UFAs left that I'd want on the Canucks at this point.
Our team is pretty tough IMO. Kesler is one tough SOB. Sedins are tough in going through all the beating and cross checking but don't complain like a bitch about it. Then we have Higgins who played through a broken foot, Maholtra played through with an injured eye.

But especially on CDC, losing Torres / Glass/ Rypien is such a big loss to them. I really want to ask where the fuck were they when Daniel became a punching bag? Especially Torres, where did the Seabrook or Thorton hits go??? Or where were all the grit/ grinders guys go when Eager pushed Daniel to the boards?

Our toughness is if you play like a bitch, we'll light up the score on the PP on you.
