Because we saw saw a finals in which the two teams made it there in large part because their 4th lines could not only play but contribute.
The days of having stiffs that play 5 mins on the 4th lline and offer nothing but pinching ability are gone.
Just because Bollig can fight doesn't mean that is all he does. He is a fine hockey player as well that can play 10 minutes and help your team.
But I doubt many of the chicken little's today care about reality when they can overreact all day instead.
