It's dumb when its Zadorov standing there? Most likely not.I don't blame him at all. It's dumb to simply turn around and see your guy on the ice, assume the worst and start swinging. If you see the replay there's time to take care of business before the game ends, in the best way you can, whether that's playing good hockey or throwing down.

He got in there but when your franchise player gets hit in the head it should be an instant response.Again, was he not right there along the wall with everyone else? I'll forgive the guy for not taking his stake off and trying to stab Zadorov with it.

No hesitation, gloves off and stand up for Jack. Especially when you’re an up and down guy making less than a mill a year.
Back in the 90’s Nelson gets sent down the next day. That’s why he couldn’t sleep.

Did you miss the post I quoted?Did you miss reading what he said about not seeing him get hit in the head?
Deeper issue: Your captain is laid out, why does the response have to be if the hit was in the head or not? Rally, even if in the wrong, don't cower.
On this team only the tweeners pay the price. That seems pretty evident.If that's the case I'm scratching Bogo and Scandella for not dropping the gloves latter. Or do only tweeners pay the price?
Yeah, it's dumb.
I think this is a Phil thing and something I’ve noticed in newer coaches in recent years and more so at the junior level.Deeper issue: Your captain is laid out, why does the response have to be if the hit was in the head or not? Rally, even if in the wrong, don't cower.
Deeper Issue is a good way of phrasing it.
The current game where a fight seems to happen on every clean hit, and nothing happens on cheap shots seems very strange.
I have no idea how you 'fix' any of it as a league wide 'issue', Bogo and anybody else had all game to respond if they felt like it.

We’ll get them a trophy!I won't be happy unless someone takes off their skate and tries to stab him next time they play Colorado.
My point was that Nelson and anyone else didn't rally to his captain, regardless of the hit location. I can't think of any good team that their captain getting laid out doesn't at least result in vigorous face-washing and a scrum. The deeper issue is that they don't have any pride in one another and the erosion of camaraderie is evident every time most of the team turns a blind eye to one of their own getting punked.
The post I quoted was defending Nelson because he was in the scrum.You specifically mentioned him getting hit in the head. The post you quoted mentioned stabbing Zads with a skate.
So any time a teammate appears on the ice, a play of any ilk must immediately run over and jump the closest opposite player?
I still find it highly amusing the Phil 'hit him with your purse' Housley is upset about the reaction.
