Player Discussion Tim Stützle - (C) - Part VI

If it's Tom Wilson doing that on Stutzle, Brady is going to jump in and take care of it. Gallagher is a rat that can't physically impose himself on anyone and Stutzle took care of it.
No he didn't. He hit him from behind and then Anderson came over and blew him away with a late hit. No reaction again. But if you read what I am saying, it is about more than 1 play or 1 player.
You have to be selective. If Cousins was agitating Marner and the leafs take a penalty to stand up to it, we win that transaction. Cousins won't stop being a pest, we get a PP, and Marner will still get bothered. Timmy can handle himself against the rats.
Again, you are bringing this back to single players.
Can't believe anyone sits around in the dressing room with fear thinking about how Gallagher called Stutzle out years ago lol. He's the bigger loser whining about things being unfair like a toddler
I never mentioned fear or guys sitting around worrying about Gallagher. You are making up your version of what I am saying so you can create an answer you want to say.

Put it this way, even in my men's league, if someone was harassing a top player, guys would step up. It's the NHL and Stu is one of our stars - the wolf pack mentality is important and I wish we would show more snarl.

One play, one player, whatever. Your top guys are going to be targeted, that's a given. If you freak out about it every time, then you lose the war. Anderson and Gallagher went after Stu and it didn't work, Ottawa won the game, and those 2 were quiet in the end because they couldn't rattle Stutzle.

This bravado shit about sending a message is TV fodder meant to stir up the fans. It would have been stupid to go after those guys in that situation.

YeaH the answer to that is our big guy hitting and being a pest on their skill player. Same thing will happen in our series Reaves will target him Hayes and their scrub too cause they know Stu can make their team look bad.we jsut have to do same to Matthews,Marner and Nylander. You don't need to fight just make them pay the same way.They will probably stop doing it for their own players

No, it isn't whatever

Of course it's a given. Taking it without any response is not a given.

Nobody is freaking out or expecting any players to freak out. You say, "every time". How about every 20 or 30 times? Also, its the regular season, there is no war.

I never suggested Stu is rattled. I am sure he would love to see someone do something though.

We completely disagree on how pro sports, and the NHL in particular, works.
It would have been stupid to go after those guys in that situation.
They have multiple games against those teams every year and even in the last game, there was time after we were handling them to do something. Doing something doesn't mean you take a stupid penalty either. Do you think I am talking about line brawls or what? You can line guys up and hit guys when you really want - be more physical.

And with the playoffs specifically, Toronto has more to worry about because they don't have an answer to Tkachuk and we have better rats on our side overall.

Just send out Cousins to do the same to Caufield and Hutson.
 
He’s on the latest episode of Spittin’ Chicklets


Really insightful interview.

I also thought it was interesting to hear his side of the contract negotiations. Sounds like Stutzle wanted 8x8, and his agent said no. So Stutzle let him negotiate up 8.35 before he made his agent sign it. It also sounded like Tkachuk being at around 8m was a factor.

I wouldn't be surprised if something similar happened with Sanderson. Seems like the core is content at 8m to give the team some cap space to play with.
