We had tons of fights in 13-14. Didn't stop Danny or Hank from getting injured. What a hilarious stance.

Zack Kassian wasn't physical, didn't fight and didn't go to the tough areas where you can lay a licking in defenders.
Dorsett doesn't deter that. Sorry.
Nor does Dorsett fighting Crombeen or whoever their "tough guy" after the fact either.
These comments can't be real life.
Dorsett fighting while the team is getting chirped doesn't stop nothing. The other team laughs that a guy who doesn't really win fights drops the gloves.
Look at John Scott's face when he fought Dorsett last year. It looked like he felt bad and fought him out of charity. It was sad.
Zack kassian fought Patrick Maroon in dorsett's defense.
Kassian didn't need to fight. He was a deterrent without even dropping his mitts.

Dorset is a guy that will take on any mother ****er on the other team no matter the size and if you don't get why that's important in the game of hockey that's cool, but you shouldn't belittle the people that think differently, aka 95% of the NHL and players

Yea, Same Gagner's jaw is still deterred from Kassian's stupid attempt at what he called a hit. Guy wasn't physical not intimidating and his mitts were glued on.

He got in over his head causing Hamhuis to come to his defense - which almost led Hamhuis getting a game suspension in the midst of the playoff series against the Flames. Sbisa was too busy "scrumming".
Who am I belittling?
You're overrating the hell out of it.
Rick Rypien beating the **** out of a guy that's 50lbs heavier is Something. Dorsett looking like a 10 year old swinging at a big guy or gripping on for dear life is not the same.
But fair enough.

Wait? A teammate came to another's defence? Wild. Tell me more!! This never occurs in the game of North American hockey

yeah and he always gets beat up when he does take on someone bigger. that's why hamhuis has to come save his ass in the playoffs and why Benning have to trade Kassian and a 5th to get Prust. Now we got combine 5 mil in cap to do something that one 900,000k AHL tough guy can do.

Yea I liked Rypien a lot but I can't imagine what the Corsi Watchers would have said about him if he were playing today.

Yeah I want Hamhuis (rather than Sbisa) to come to the aid of a guy trying to fight a guy who's out of his weight class.
Sbisa had the Vulcan death grip on the guy he was squared off with. Like white knuckle stuff. What a imposing beast.
Like when Dorsett ducked Maroon and kassian stepped in?
I'm done. Sorry. I don't even know why I bother.

So your argument is Hamhuis should have ignored that a teammate needed help or?
Oh right. Corsi. That's relevant. When in doubt hit the Corsi well. It's never dry.

Please, just don't pretend you'd be some kind of fan of Ryp today, I can only imagine what you'd say about him if he were still on our team.
Your big tough guy needed help. That's the point.
Embarassing. Then he had to sucker him after to feel tough.

Try re-watching the video. Sbisa WAS on the ice.
Hamhuis shouldn't have been put into a position to make that decison.

It was pathetic and asking to go out and get Prust for help and thanking the GM is incredibly embarrassing.
You'd hope your tough guy could Fight his own battles eh.
Like isn't the whole point of Dorsett thst he would be able to handle himself?

To be fair Benning was the one that said he was going to get Dorsett help. Then he texted DD first after the Prust trade. Benning is the one playing up the whole fighting angle. If I was the GM I'd tell Dorsett to take it easy in the fighting department and just focus on playing. 5-6 fights a year is enough. Most of them are staged BS anyway.
