HNIC showed a perfect example of the physical play this guy brings. Juulsen made a heavy hit on one of our guys and Brady took note and made sure to finish a hard check on Juulsen the next chance he got.
Such an important player for us since we don't have anyone who does that consistently

Sens have trouble with physical teams, especially their defense which is more finesse than physical. Their 3rd and 4th lines do hit but nobody is a really heavy "banger". They do need another guy to compliment BT.We also need a couple more guys to take the initiative and do that, as well. Can't leave it all to Brady.

I also remember when Jensen got leveled in the 3rd, Brady actually had the puck in the neutral zone, and the just stood there for an extra second, looking back and took a number down before moving the puck.HNIC showed a perfect example of the physical play this guy brings.

Here are the hit stats for Sens, also looks like top 6 has more hits, but they also play more minutes.Ideally I'd like to have at least 4 forwards who throw decent hits and forecheck regularly. One on each line, and a couple of physical blueliners. Wear down opponents, and it also gives you a bit of a buffer if one or two of your physical guys are out with injury, that you still have a presence on the ice. They don't have to be pure crash and bang guys (obviously not on the top 6 anyways), but enough that opponents are always on the lookout for a hit.
100% . not sure though if the guys we have can do itWe also need a couple more guys to take the initiative and do that, as well. Can't leave it all to Brady.
