You have in the past said that the extracurriculars draw unwanted penalties and that many cheap shot artists won't answer the bell anyway etc.

You've said also that old time hockey is no longer effective as the rules have changed things.
What are you even saying UK?

How many times do I have to clarify my position to you for you to get it?

You said I was against adding toughness to the team, and I responded by telling you the type of toughness the team needs and it's relative impact...which I STILL don't think precludes stars from being victims of cheap shots.

The MOST important part of having the right type of toughness is scoring more goals in the dirty areas, which was this team's NUMBER ONE problem in its loss to Boston.

The actually fighting/intimidation part of the right type of toughness is a side benefit with far less importance..and I've gone an and on about this point for 2 years.

However that is NOT what people who disagree with you have been saying and its you who make assumptions and try to pin an erroneous argument on them and then deride them for it.
No, you accused me of flip flopping and inconsistency in my view, and I'm responding to that by saying that assertion is bullshit. And in the process I explained what I had said about the issue before and my views on it.

But please, continue on as if you were just innocently posting and I decided to bully you for no reason...

Over the Internet, you can pretend to be anyone or anything.

I'm amazed that so many people choose to be complete twats.

I have to say, was real impressed with ole Kassian there against the Oil. If he can play more like that, I will be a happy man. I may even lay off of Gillis for awhile, or at least until his next trade gaff.

This would be a classic example of hedging.
