There needs to be a message sent because it's clear nobody else is going to do anything. Orr used to elbow people in the face behind the play and he was lauded as one of the greatest ever, it doesn't take rocket science. Just hit a few people to send a message; we'll do whatever it takes to protect Johhny.
Until that message is sent this team is going nowhere, at his best he creates scoring opportunities every shift. We need that back, desperately. I just don't see any alternatives. Kanzig/Smith smash a few players on some questionable hits or Johnny keeps heading to the IR.

Really? Have you seen Kanzig skate? Odds are he hurts his shoulder on a few misses before he ever hits a guy like Staal who can skate really well.
