Loved him stepping up to fight but man did he look like a huge bitch pulling hair and then getting droppedSlafkovsky looks like he's ready to roll, and not get pushed. Dach can get mean.

Plays like the Laine one just happen because the guy didn't want to get beat. It has nothing to do with toughness.
I didn't watch the games, but I remember reading that other players were trying to get at Paré? Perhaps not as firmly as Arber...I agree with that, though I think the 'lack of team toughness' escalated the on ice issues we saw in the game. We were already down a defenseman, why was it Arber that had to do the dirty work? They keep saying they don't want it to be his job, but nobody else stepped up. That's some confusing shit right there. Pretty big L for the coaching staff, IMO.

The Moore-Crawford case already established that if something goes wrong, the coach is liable for releasing the hounds. Pretty sure coaching staff steer clear from coordinating retaliation and just go with the flow (Putting certain players on the ice at a certain time isn't the same as an explicit "go get him".)
Yep I agree. The issue i have is that Paré needed to answer the bell and he turtled like a p#$sy.If Wifi didn’t go after him that would have been a much bigger problem than him getting kicked out.
No problem with what wifi did, none at all. It needed to be done. This team is too soft, no one else was going to do it.
Yeah, definitely agree there. I'm not saying Marty needed (or could/should) explicitly order a hit, but nobody in that building, least of all Marty, was surprised when Xhekaj went after the guy. All marty had to do was tell him to wait or hold arber back another shift, sent Condo out. Announce to the bench that you're already down to 5 D and surely couldn't lose another one for 5 minutes, let alone 2.

I disagree with that take, I think this is not the smart way of doing things. Actually you re giving another win to Pare with that : you re putting your team in trouble for no reward. The right thing to do was to go for Cowan with harder hits, the right thing to do is to play tough on Matthews, Marner Nylander during opening nights. Who cares if Pare hurts, if you want to prevent teams to go after your top players, you need to show their own will suffer if they attempt somethingIf Wifi didn’t go after him that would have been a much bigger problem than him getting kicked out.

Yeah, cancelled Sportsnet premium. Not interested in watching them get trounced another year.The Laine injury seriously impacts my willingness to follow this team closely this season. At least, there's Hutson and Dach, otherwise it would be really hard to get involved. No way I'm watching a rerun of last season lol.

I’ll catch what I can on cbc.
Trouble?
It was a preseason game. Who cares if they lost 15-0 after that. The game didn’t matter after losing Laine.
Wifi did exactly what he should have done. If no one went after him that would have shown the league the habs are gutless.
Dvorak and Monty are playing Dads so they are trying to hide for the picture.
Who cares if he gets suspended, he sent a message.Not losing this game, but honestly he could have been suspended for several games, I actually was surprised he was not.
Thats the feeling of most. Without laine its pretty much the exact same team. Wont be much of an improvement unless primeau and monty stand on their heads every night.The Laine injury seriously impacts my willingness to follow this team closely this season.
