You would never lift your skate like that going into the boards as it's a great way to break your ankle. You would lift your skate like that if you are a POS that has no respect for a fellow hockey player and were trying to do permanent damage.

You don’t need a peluso for this. I’m sure Marchand could handle that. Just have to have someone willing. Wheeler accomplished nothing, why bother?

I still like the nuclear option as Rick Ralph called him but I agree with you, there should be other guys ready to do what Wheeler did. Lemieux for example if he was still a Jet would have stepped up...he would likely have lost the fight, I remember Tkachuk beating him down pretty good before, but like you say, someone willing.
I'd be surprised if Lowry doesn't give it a go today.

The nuclear option is a good way of putting it and I too am all for having an enforcer. I was sad to see Peluso go, not for his play but for his presence.

I admitt I figured we didn't need an enforcer. We had some guys that would drop them and were pretty decent fighters. And we had Buff. Now we really could use a guy who is more willing to go. Although Lowery is a pretty good fighter. He did well with Reeves

Although Lowery is a pretty good fighter. He did well with Reeves I still think Buff wasn’t an option. He liked to throw hits but not his fists, but is a moot point now I guess.
