re: Canucks being soft.
I thought Juice brought up a great point when Hank got drilled a couple games ago. You want to make the other guy pay the price for his actions. But you also don't want to cost your team the 2 minutes instigating, game misconduct if you are a key part of the team's chances to win. You understand the importance of sticking up for your teammate, but you AND your teammate that just got drilled both understand the importance playing the team game and how important each win is. THIS is a true team game and discipline. Optically to us as fans, the team appears soft now. Internally in the locker room, they are stronger and players have a higher level of trust in each other knowing that they will let nothing get in the way of a win, not even one of their teammates getting cheap shotted. This is why loose cannons like SOB did not find favour with management.
Agree? Am I just spewing BS?
