Next time somebody says that Intimidation doesn't work in the NHL anymore just show them last nights game. Ross sticking Tkachuk in the ribs before the opening faceoff set the tone. In a time where a decent check results in a fight Pelech absolutely destroyed Joseph and nobody even looked at him. JGP puts his shoulder right into their young star Stutzle chest and sends him flying and nobody did a thing. Watson & Tkachuk both 6'4 played like they were 5'5 last night and Tkachuk who yaps all game long was like a mute last night. Now granted you're not going to win many games with Chara, Martin & Johnston in the lineup at the same time but I'm not going to lie it was fun watching them manhandle and Intimidate the Sens last night. No doubt in mind they go after Pelech & JGP if Johnston & Chara aren't in the lineup. All of this in a meaningless game no less.
