The makeup of the team is that you have a top nine with little to no physical element and a fourth line that plays five minutes a game and contributes little to the team. We should be rolling four lines and have players with a physical edge who can play a regular shift so a deterrent is out there on a regular basis and the nonsense we saw does not happen.
We might have to sacrifice some talent for grit but it will be worth it in the long run as we reestablish ourselves as a contender.

Agreed! In the first few years of the rebuild I would rather be tougher and grittier than to have a top 9 that can't play on the boards...
Stajan is playing with tons of Jam lately but he gets pushed around... Someone should have jumped Benn when he accidentally knocked down Hudler. Regardless if Benn can throw down with the best of them
