Babcock likes team toughness not just a goon to ride shotgun. Hes said it a few times.

I agree with that totally. What exactly did the leafs do when Gianta injured Reimer accidently on purpose?

What did Edmonton do when McDavid got injured (accidently on purpose) by the Flyers.

Don't want goons, but can't stand around stare at the ice, scratch your ass when someone targets one of your top players. When guys like Simmons, Marchand, Backus come into our barn - the team needs to respond. They will target players like Marner and Nylander.

I set up lynns massive tent to air it out for next weekend.

At one point I was just sitting in an empty tent drinking and smoking to "get the feel of it"

I'm a (frank)ing idiot

Marlies have team toughness, our new midget swede AJ got crushed and Hyman didnt hesitate to go drop the mitts with the guy

getting big guys just for fighting isn't how the nhl is moving now a days. we can have guys who have grit, but they also have to have skill. no need to having colton orr's or frazer mclaren's anymore.

Blake, Antropov, Gamache, Hanson and Earl for me

There's nothing wrong with that.

I probably would have passed out in there but I needed another beer and they were in the fridge inside

and he has the skill to be able to play at the nhl level. rather than these goons who only want to fight.

Nothing even though they had a goon siting there taking up space?

What does fighting guys after the fact do? Nothing, maybe an instigator penalty. Those guys are still going to go after and try to hit guys, because they can.

He wouldn't have made my list, if not for his foolproof shoot-out move of "skate at glacial speed right down the centre - three second wind up - slapper right into the goalie's logo"...

Who said anything about goons or fighting. Need more toughness, need some players with backbone when our goalies or top players are targets. Larry Robinson wasn't a fighter or goon, but if you touched Lafleur - he'd mash your face into the boards.

People who think have g a good or big guys on the team stops guys from taking liberaties clearly don't understand. It's been proven without a shadow off a doubt that that is categorically false. Guys that are jackasses are still going to be jackasses no matter who is on the ice/on the roster.

toughness can be added through free agency. no point wasting a pick or trading for one of these guys.

Don't want or need goons. Need backbone - size does help in this aspect.

Welp..... Onto coffee number 3

I've been up for 30mins

Pretty much the only exception here was Semenko... if you tried to injure Gretzky, he'd likely take off his skate and cut you.... so you didn't try to injure Gretzky
