Most of the other guys can hold their own, but after a questionable move by the opposition, yeah a challenge or a facewash would be warranted but you can't just jump a guy.
Also with Poirier and Bennett coming in and Ferland growing as a player, we're gonna have some tough kids with solid skill.

Why can't you jump a guy? When someone crashes into the goaltender or makes a dirty hit/play on someone like Johnny... Grab the guy and start swinging... The guy is getting into a fight whether he wants to or not. That's the point. Going up to him and politely asking for him to pay up for what he did makes no sense.
I'm not saying pull a bertuzzi on him... But the second you grab him he'll know he's in a fight. I'll take the penalty for it every time if it means protecting the future of this team. I've already seen guys make way too many cheap plays on Johnny this season.
