As far as aesthetics, your new avatar is at the complete opposite end of the spectrum.

I agree. But Hartnell and Simmonds do it as well.

They do, but I consider them top 6 and I want them wearing out already worn out D and taking advantage

No penalty on the Briere hit?? Vlasic is not a dirty player but that was deserving of at least a two minute boarding and maybe more.

So did Rinaldo his hit to the head on TJ Galiardi and the nice sluw foot from Colborn.

they need some bangers. some big bodies. someone to wear down the opposing team's D from a physical standpoint. Couturier is not going to do that. Read isn't going to do that. Rinaldo only gets to do that once a game before he gets called and then sits on the bench. Talbot does it to an extent. Schenn does as well. But that's it. I like the skill on the team and all of the players but not necessarily the total makeup of the forward corps.

What I don't like about these plays is that Nystrom changed his mind about playing the puck and decided to lay the shoulder into Letang instead. Letang didn't have control of the puck but in fact had just attempted to poke it by Nystrom. Well Nystrom wasn't going to be made to look like a fool so he lays a shoulder into a guy who doesn't even have the puck. And I don't buy that he was finishing his check either. So while Letang did alter his position by reaching out, Nystrom took advantage imo. Principal point of contact was not the head. I also don't believe there was an attempt to injure. Probably no suspension. Penalty should have been interference imo.

This incident reminds me a lot of the Steve Moore hit on Markus Naslund. Also the Doug Weight?? hit on Brandon Sutter??

Those kind of hits are done all the time but instead of getting hit against the boards he got rocked behind the net.
Imo the reason a penalty was called was because Letang was hurt.
