We need a nukular deterrent (nuclear for those obsessed with spelling- you know who you are). We lost Chytil to an intentionally bad hit from Wilson, and M Pete got filled by Olivier in a hit that easily could have ended badly.
No one fears retaliation from the Canucks, just little Timmy asking "please sir, can I have some more?" There must be a Neanderthal in the Ahl, or ECHL, or the North Peace Hockey League. Scouts, get scouting.

Good (second to) last line RG.
Exactly what I was prompted to post as I read your middle stanza.
2011 personified.

I have oft wondered if the Canucks were in on Arbor Xhejak when he was an u/d f/a.
And if not, why not.

I have frequently maintained that such a player does not necessarily have to be found, but could be created (trained) from a medium-largish AHL/NHL tweener (so, not necessarily a complete hockey liability) who was willing to do anything to stay in the big league.
But it doesn't matter if management doesn't think Vancouver needs such a player on the roster.

Didn't we recently have a tactical nukular weapon, someone who liked to start skirmishes but could also end them... all the whilst talking very un-diplomatically towards the other side?
Think he's in Boston now, where one of their all-time nukular deterrent recently went into the HOF.

I woulda spelled that “Nuckular”…..but I get what you were trying to do.
As an asSide…..
If Lever had done that I would’ve been all over him.
Only because I’m an obnoxious cunt.

Well, there is a concentrated effort to increase the overall bar level.

Knocked Matthew's out of the game tonight that particular deterrent did.

That individual just sent Auston “Pigman” Matthews down the tunnel with a hit tonight.
The Laughs answer was their 5’10” gargantuan weight atomic response, Max Domi…..which was perhaps one of the funniest scraps I’ve ever seen.

The thing I noticed about this year’s injuries is how many of them happened in the first week of the season. To the point about the training staff, I would wonder if the strength and conditioning staff shouldn’t get some scrutiny. Are their prescribed regimes stressing some muscles/joints to the point where the players are more vulnerable to injury?

The cycle completes.
