I'm saying actions have consequences and it's pretty much always been that way.
Want to line players up? Expect someone is gonna try to clean your clock too. It's part of the game. It's why fighting is a 5 min penalty and not a game ejection/suspension.
This pansy ass view people have with thinking there shouldn't be consequences is a MAJOR problem in todays society, from online trolling to general disrespect everywhere.
While violence doesn't generally solve problems, it does get a point across rather quickly. So either your candy ass player can accept that he's gonna get roughed up for lining people up or he can learn that his actions have direct and sometimes very painful results.
I felt this way about Kronwall, he knew what was gonna happen post hit, he accepted it, it was his choice. He could have dropped the gloves, he could dodge fights, doesn't matter, he knew part of that hitting pattern was gonna be someone coming after him.
