Franson is a 5x5 d man, he's got the quickest out of the zone dish tape to tape on the d, he has shortcomings in his own end at times, which pale compared to his partner who makes 7...

Watching Lucic go down like Bambi on ice wasn't pointless. It actually helps change what a lot of teams view of the Bruins and Lucic. I'm with you on keeping the numbers down, but there's hardly been a scrap this year for the Leafs, and I sometimes find the game is less entertaining. But the playoffs are (frank)ing awesome.

That was a heat of the moment fight.

I enjoyed that very much lol

They didn't have to fight too often to protect, their presence would intimidate guys to keep in check, and there are many interviews of many players that would say they do get a boost from staged fights, not all but some...

Which had no impact on the outcome the game.
No one is missing Orr mclaren.

Here's Tavares on what would be considered a staged fight off the opening draw between Mon and NYR in March 2012... "I can understand from both those teams, playing against them a lot and being in the New York area and what those rivalries are like," he said. "You don't see that so much any more, a few fights right off the draw like that. It really brings the intensity and the passion into the game."...

The leafs need a guy who finds more moments to get heated in.. A third liner to add grit to Clarksons line.

A 2011 poll conducted by the NHLPA and CBC found that 98 per cent of 318 players polled did not want to ban fighting.

this is why I say Nonis has to go. He signs DP long term and Richarders on money with Franson who he should try to lock up and dump Phaneuf. He doesn't recognize value at all

Like when guys bump the goalies on purpose, it would be nice to see some payback...

The sadest part of it is, Franson is a better defensemen right now...

Get that guy who whooped Lucic.. Or grab that Johnson dude from NYI and put him on the fourth line.

An Angus Reid poll released in March suggested 67 per cent of Canadian hockey fans want fighting banned, including at the professional level.

What a bunch of pussies we've become...

Leafs win 4-1 , Kadri scores tonight

Bob Hartly has the Flames practising fighting...

he's sacrificed goal scoring for face-off wins. RC has rewarded him with Grabo's old spot on the 3rd line. Seriously does this f'n coach know what he's doing?

I'm good with getting rid of staged fighting (maybe via match penalties for those involved?), but there are times when a guy just deserves to be punched in the face, and who am I to deny him that right???

Cool. He's a guy who definitely deserves a punch in the face. Tries to play as a big power forward but loses his poop every time he gets hit. What a female genitalia.

I swear they just said the shots were 17-1 for Skelleftea vs Modo , im not Swedish but Im sure thatswhat they said, its been like a 10 min power play (only no PP maybe for 2min), theres still 10 min left in the 1st
