team toughness

[kingmonkeybutt]

lot of people at the start of the season saying we lacked it, i recon we have one of the tougher teams on the ice at the moment with lepine and wilson and also beckett, fox, ling and lee happy to drop gloves if required even tuma while he was around was fairly solid

can really see it making a difference with graham starting to put the points in and us dominating more with big hits could still do with a goal machine like dab though

agreed on all fronts, look alot tougher now, maybe for me swap galivan for sniper and we would be awsome

I dont think we need to swap Galivan - we're spreading scoring out alot and we've already made so many changes this year, I think it would be difficult to keep momentum.
Toughness is difficult to judge. No one has bullied us since Lepine's return and even when he's lost fights, we haven't become intimidated. Lepine last night played his roll to a T. Keefe and Lloyd did nothing to suggest they were the "bash brothers"

The problem I think we have is that we don't always bully.

Take the game against the Caps last week, had we bullied and hit them from the outset as opposed to playing non contact hockey then maybe the result would have been different.

...and would have nine games on the trot been a record stint, I asume so.Funny how it all went wrong with the Capitals.

Probably the longest stint for us in a while but Cardiff did 21 games the other season didn't they ?
