It was really disappointing that the same ref that handed out instigator pen to a canucks previously suddenly found no reason to do it to Simmons... Mean time, while you are probably right about the league dealing with it by suspending a player, I will be honest and say, the Mattheson getting a two game suspension for injuring Petey, I wanted him to get some knuckle dust afterwards...

He was never a woosie dropping the mitts despite knowing he was going to get his ass handed to him. Takes guts facing the music, and a lot more respect than just declining the invitation. However, you underlying issue, I do agree upon. The team has been physically battered and I also do believe it is mentally hindering the team, that they aren't able to stand up to be counted. I'm not talking about 1 fighter in team, I'm talking about size and feistiness... Dorsett was small, Rick was small, but they would drop them instantly... I do find the 'Swedish' thing slightly wrong, although the players mentioned are lightweights, I don't know about Hoglander, but don't think he'd shy away, if he had to...

Slightly disappointed that you suggests Edler could have declined the invitation (although true)... Can you imagine the backlash, had he done so? We all want the team to show some backbone, and when the older statesman, who is a non fighter, still stands up, knowing its going to hurt, it earns respect, and shows the younger players, they need to stand up to be counted... As you rightly said, mega props to Edler. Would have liked to see some of the Laughs getting rocked afterwards, but maybe the boys just don't have the energy, or maybe its just not really in their DNA...

Race is over... probably was from the start, but still pleased with the boys. Miller was, despite his goal, off today. Lots of wayward passing. However first glimpse of Lind, was definitely positive... He will be the next draft pick to play for us... Keep it up boys. Win or lose, we're with you all the way...
