The kid is built like a brick shiitake mushroom house Off course I have seen Brock, most fitness freaks like myself pay attention to athletes conditioning habits. I am speaking to how he responds to contact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"You’re getting a paycheque for $100,000 every two weeks, do you care if it’s shy $3000 because you speared someone or hit somebody from behind? The answer is no." that is hilarious and classic Juice, but I'd question one part of that (not the Burrows shot).... no doubt players could not care less about nominal fines that have literally no impact on them. but if they had to sit out 10 games for crossing the line / intent to injure - I have to wonder if they'd be as flippant about suspensions, or lump the two (fines and suspensions) in together. I doubt it. Because no player wants, likes, enjoys sitting on the sidelines, period. So the onus is on the league to separate the ineffective impact and equation of the leniency of these two things - and make players feel suspensions. Until they do that, their 'discipline' remains an ineffective joke imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 If you go on YouTube you can search for hockeyfightsdotcom and it will have most of them on there. Byfuglien and Gudbranson are good fighters but have avoided fighting the real heavyweights. How many of those guys can say they’ve fought Engelland, Derek Boogard (the entire NHL was scared of him) and Colton Orr? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shiznak Posted November 9, 2018 Share Posted November 9, 2018 Matheson rough shots Pettersson - Omgezz, someone needs to teach that puke a lesson. Lucic rough shots Joesph - Omgezz, he took it too far. What a scumbag. You guys can’t have it both ways. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
