I think we should sign him and pay him Boogaard money.

We always win these "enforcer" thread arguments. The anti-enforcer slappies need to give it up already.

Great save by Jimmy.

Why don't Ericsson impress the hell out of me, and challenge that Penguin nosed f***** Armstrong to a fight? I'm sure it would impress Babcock as well. I'm just glad we don't play in the same division as them. They would try to goon it up on us every game with that roster.

Well, there's our enforcer losing yet another fight. I was hoping those boxing lessons would help.

Also, Ericsson has been awf......oh wait nevermind, he actually is playing tonight.

I blame Lidstrom for this whole debacle. He's been totally invisible tonight.

Funny how these CBC announcers think Mike Brown is some kind of toughie.

Amazing how good Phaneuf looks when he's playing against Maltby and Miller, instead of Pavel and Hank. What a defensive plug he is.

Kind of bummed that Lebda isn't on the ice.

Ericsson could have at least had the decency there to force Phaneuf to drop the gloves.

More like the roller hockey league. That's it. I'm convinced after watching this game that our season is officially over.

We've already chosen Ericsson as our whipping boy. Too late to change it now. I want to see Ericsson redeem himself by dropping that fool Colton Orr.

Ericsson is such a ******* pylon. He made Grabovski look like Mario Lemieux out there.

Kirk Maltby on the 2nd line?

No, I meant a real Darth Vader mask.

I hope you're not referring to Chara. Each time he fights a true heavy, he resorts to losing his balance at the first moment of trouble, in order to avoid getting beat. He's a pansy, unless he's fighting some middleweight or non-fighter.

Couldn't he just straight up wear a Darth Vader mask, or would the league not allow it?

That was like watching target practice. Wonder how much fire the Leafs will have under their asses for tomorrow's game.

NHL Network is broadcasting this game from outer space, apparently.

I took you off my ignore list the day Bret Hart and Shawn Michaels shook hands on Raw. I figured, what the hell.

Do giraffes live that long?

You didn't say anything about Downey in your last post. It was about as analytical as an episode of Jersey Shore. There was nothing substantive to respond to. This post is a little better, since it actually has a sentence that mentions the topic. No one is angry with Downey being waived. Making educated complaints is not the same thing as being angry. Also, no one is surprised that he was waived. We're just defending the argument that there is a place for enforcers in the NHL, even the pure enforcers with limited skills. If you're not convinced as to strength of our argument, then that's no surprise either. No one ever changes their mind after a debate on LGW. The spirit of a debate is why we come here. That's all this topic was about, until you decided to turn it into some finger pointing contest.

I didn't say every team. I said most teams. Most teams do carry a pure enforcer.
