Stortini is playing against our own guys? That seems like a great idea.

I personally don't have a huge issue with enforcers and the reason is, if they manage to smartly take the right players off the ice for five minutes, that's great! It helps the team. It's rare but it helps. Now keep in mind guys like Giroux or Couturier might command 23 to 25 minutes a night in key situations. So to me there's always gonna be a player who's gonna play less minutes and you have 12 options to choose from at forward. Why not have a guy on your team who's sole job is to fight? If I were a real player, you can't exactly get into a groove only playing limites minutes. Now Ideally you want a hockey players who can play hockey (one should hope) but as long as a guy like Rosehill for example can hold his own for five minutes, I can live with that. However Stortini pretty much is Rosehill. One enforcer I can live with. Two doesn't make sense to me at all and Stortini looks as valuable to a team in preseason as eating off a paper plate with a huge hole in it.
