All hitting isn't equal though. That's where we disagree. You think because someone hits it's useful. If the team never sees the benefit of those hits, why are they helpful?
Ferland hit the Canucks a lot. And it helped. Hell, Frolik is awesome at forechecking and hitting. Better than Bouma. Much better.
I love Bouma's passion and his dedication. You win with that attitude and it's contagious. All things that stats don't tell you. What they do tell you though, is there's a cost on the ice and I'm not sure it's worth it.

Bouma is limited in the hockey IQ department, I think that's what you're talking about.
