Chadd 916 Report post Posted October 4, 2012 I agree, if you take out the players who aren't afriad to drop the gloves when duty calls, the amount of Sean Avery's and Daniel Carcillo's are going to sky rocketIt already has gone through the roof. Every team has at least one of those guys now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
troy 12 Report post Posted October 4, 2012 It still comes down to discipline. If I knew Matt Cooke is going to drill every player possible, but cleanly, I would still hate him, but not wish him bodily harm. In the NHL physical intimidation is an important tactic, seeing if a guy is really going to play, or cower when he is hit. I think that is something that will always be present at that level. But there needs to be a shift from trying to decapitate, to just making someone really uncomfortable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
