Nowadays your toughness has to come from your better top six players, not fighting toughness, but pushback toughness. You can’t take liberties with guys like MacKinnon and Crosby, they’ll punch you right back and or drop the gloves in rare circumstances.

Boston doesn’t have a “tough guy”, but they have pack mentality, St. Louis doesn’t have a “tough guy”, but they have pack mentality, Colorado doesn’t have a “tough guy”, but they have pack mentality....the Canucks need more dogs and less cats.

I just watched the replay, thought Hog was out with Horvat and Pearson, but, Sutter, Roussel and Virtanen were on the ice, why were there four forwards out there? Not one of them dropped their gloves.

Like this?

Down by two, trying to get back in the game. Green needed to have his best offensive weapons on the ice.

Can’t believe Arizona picked Dylan Strome over Mitch Marner in 2015. Holy fug is Marner good at hockey.

The stats people won't like this but,.
The idgaf for Hughes was 1.87, Schmidt was at 1.866, , Benn at 1.0, Juolevi .99, Edler at 0.55 and Myers at 0..21.
I would say some work has to be done by the defense, as those are not good numbers when above 1.32.

Who’s that D we wanted a couple years ago? College kid who was maybe going to be a UFA but then signed.

Not really good numbers ; the IDAGAF's for Canucks defensemen,
Hughes 1.8
Schmidt 1.63
Juolevo 0.9
Benn-0.899
Edler 0.67
Myers 0.521

Looks to me like Myers and Edler are doing just fine
