Simon Edvinsson

Well I'm glad he's getting fighting lessons from someone. Not much of a tilt, but he does a lot of things right:
- He dropped the gloves at the same time to avoid an instigator penalty
- First thing he does is pull Brady's helmet off
- As a taller player, he grabbed the front of the jersey as he should because that utilizes his reach advantage. (Note that with Kasper I said he should be reaching for pad or back collar.)
Brady's a strong kid, so not surprising he got pulled down. Instead of trying to pull the shirt up, Ed could've gave him some jabs with the left. Obviously need to learn to free up the arm before trying to throw a punch.

 
I've been really impressed by Simon's understanding of the importance of the physical/nasty side of the game.

It's something Seider needs to reincorporate into his game. Seider and Edvinsson need to bully opposition forwards more going forward. It's something Mo was so good at in the AHL and SHL it's been disappointing how timid he's played at the nhl level.

How much “bullying” did Lidstrom do? How about Makar? Werenski? I think we just need Dmen who are actually good at defending and can put up points. That would be cool.

and do we have a makar or Lidstrom on our roster? No we have two guys physical freaks that should be abusing the opposition. What a stupid comment. Because I would have guessed that you'd want guys who dont put up points and cant defend.

Lol lists 2 of the most skilled dmen of all time as if it makes a point somehow.

How much bullying did Stevens, Pronger, Weber, Shore, Potvin etc do?

More than one way to skin a cat and Detroits team is built in a way that theyre going to have to lean into the physical side of the game if they want to win
