And I also don't think more penalty minutes is going to help us against some of the really bigger forechecking teams... but looking at the relatively diminutive stature of our defensive lines - someone who could fight sure wouldn't hurt. <br /><br />Maybe they could train Campbell to punch? hahahaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8712793719703864210.post-19696927771031736942015-10-03T20:55:23.331-05:002015-10-03T20:55:23.331-05:00A completely reasonable argument.

Once you are no longer the fastest, your size issues become much more apparent... and since Laxdal's coaching style differs greatly from the style that won the Cup, the problem is yet further accentuated. We are way, way too small to contend. We need a scrappy fighter.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8712793719703864210.post-48914493031657833252015-10-03T17:50:33.825-05:002015-10-03T17:50:33.825-05:00Fair point, but I ask you this to counter: who thr...Fair point, but I ask you this to counter: who threw the knuckles the year Texas won the Cup?Stephen Meservehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01744997023150999054noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8712793719703864210.post-88166685841330319362015-10-03T11:06:44.138-05:002015-10-03T11:06:44.138-05:00I liked the way Lagace moved.

We are still a really (really!) small team, and last year a few teams really manhandled us on the ice. Having a guy who is willing to throw off the gloves twice in one night will stop some of this. I'm not sure he's really an enforcer, but if he'll throw knuckles to protect our players from bad hits, then sign him!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
