Haha come on dude. Fury Road was awesome. Movie starts at 100 mph and doesn't let off the gas. The only Mad Max with an actually good story was the first one so if we're going off pure action the new one takes the cake.

Haven't seen Fury Road yet but Road Warrior was definitely the best of the bunch from the ones with Mel.

Is there a version of Mad Max that exisits without the weird dub thing going?

Actually as the season wore on it became more apparent that there was no need for Car Bomb for those situations either.

He would run around out of position looking to make a hit which resulted in his linemates having to cover for him on D. Too bad too, as the guy does have a little bit of skill and could be a decent 4th line guy. Supposedly a good locker room guy too.

Desjardins, the guy the Hawks picked up at the TDL gets it...plays his position forechecks well and takes the hit when it's there. I'm sure the Pens could grab a guy like that.

That's what people aren't grasping. Goons don't actually help anything in terms of protection, they hurt on ice production, and they only serve to perpetuate the circle of dangerous violence that the dumb poop code endorses. The real need is for a unified team that would go to hell and back for each other. That's been the Penguins' real problem recently, not their lack of a solid enforcer goon. It's not surprising either. Why would Crosby, Malkin, Letang, Neal/Hornqvist, and Kunitz feel the need to stand up and go to war for guys that constantly leave them high and dry when it comes to support. With a productive bottom six we will see a change.

Yeah I feel like everyone but me has that opinion so I won't argue it since I'm clearly in the minority. I think I may have just gone into Road Warrior expecting the greatest movie of all time and got disappointed

Dumb comment....but that's not really surprising considering you think Staals handy work on Sid's head wasn't intentional.

Literally every star in the league battles through this poop on a shift to shift basis. Every single one.

Not sure if this was mentioned, but doesn't Plotnikov play a gritty game and like to hit? If he plays a similar role he did in the KHL, he will a guy to drop the gloves if someone starts messing with Sid or geno. You don't need big tough guys on the team, just someone who says "I'm not taking any of your poop and you better keep your head up".

I have no issue with a PTO in August. Meh not really even news worthy. My guy I want would be someone who doesn't fight other tough guys I want someone who just goes right after whoever done it. Instigator be damned. Just attack

The problem with that is they're accountable to their coaches. You don't want to give a team a PP just because someone laid a borderline hit on a player. If that happened that's all teams would do. Just look at the Flyers. I don't think they play particularly dirty against the Pens, certainly not any dirtier than the Pens against the Flyers. It's just that the Flyers know how to draw the Pens off their game.

Paul Bissonette used to post pretty insightful things about being an enforcer and when he was given the "red light/green light" to fight.
