Get a facepuncher. Ok maybe an over reaction. But how about some players who are tough to play against. Too many liberties being taken.

Isn't Risto supposed to do something?

Tall Tage has more fights than him this year.

He’s a 40 goal scorer according to everyone who said I was nuts when I would have let him walk in free agency.
- Pegullaville

You were %1000skinner correct. Should have let him walk.

Is this still Ralph's fault? Skimmer lovers?

6 games vs them in 2.5 weeks. They are setting the tone early.

It’s what good, established teams and coaches do. We have a long way to go. But going in the right direction

Risto hits. Never fights. Ever. I bet under 5 fights in his career.

The next five games against the Bruins are gonna be brutal. This is going to be their game plan for each of them and we have basically no one to respond. Ray is absolutely correct when he says they'll keep doing it if you don't respond.

I set the Over/Under on how many players on this team that are not a Mitch or a Mo at about 2.5.

Risto seems disinterested and probably doesn’t give a poop anymore. Why chuck some and risk getting hurt, he’s going through the motions only, nothing more. Sad and why he should have been traded x months/years ago

I just know you admire Risto's tuffness, Boss


Your boy is MIA and tall tage is eating rights for the team

Maybe one of the guy's who wears the "A" should show some leadership. Maybe not okposo for obvious reasons?

Game gets chippy and good old 55 is nowhere

Time for a meeting with the Bobs. I thought this is why we employ Risto

That did zero.

I respect tage for playing outside his game and fighting a fighter.

That guy kicked his as$ . Probably fired him and his team up.

Risto or 23 should now step out of their character and get beat up?

Foolish. Need a player that specializes in that line of work. Couple players really.

eakin centering reinhart and skinner is exactly what nightmares are made of

26 and 53 = tough

Completely agree! Risto’s last fight was 2018, 3 in his career. Or at least 3 on hockeyfights.com ... he needs to step up. If Tage and Cozens can, Risto should... or at least blast someone, open ice soupy style.

That did zero.

correct, risto's toughness is a special kind of toughness where he takes stupid penalties and takes himself out of the play to give up scoring chances, not the kind where you actually make your team harder to play against

If Risto isn't tough, what exactly does he do here?

He's McCabe without the defensive acumen or toughness

He’s getting dummied all night.

He only hits when the opposition isn’t playing a physical game. As soon as they do he cowers

26 and 53 = tough
- Boss34

Yup the 5’11 winger and 6’1 center is the same as the physical 6’4 225lb d man.

Good call

well reinhart's only redeemable quality isn't his alleged toughness so i dont know what kind of comparison this is

Id bring in Matt Martin or Simmonds and Chara. Won’t play much but will lead by example.

Tough to play agaisnt and a fighter are different.

Yes, some player's possess both qualities.

Funny how you call out risto. One of the few guys that is still trying.
