Biggest body checks thrown all night were by Bouma.
It's Lance Bouma not Tim Hunter, he is not very good at fighting.
He dropped the gloves with Haley, a very tough guy and lost.
The same would happen if he fought Bieksa.
At least Bouma is hitting, he is good at that. Expecting him to fight tough guys is crazy. He hits, he does PK, he blocks shots fearlessly...I do not understand what else you want from him.
There are guys on the team much bigger than Bouma that shy away from most physical contact. Hamilton, Brouwer, Monahan, Chaisson.
The only guys on the Flames that should be fighting are Engelland and Ferland...well and Bennett of course.
I also would rather see Hathaway play (he is not a good fighter either) just dont understand the vitriol aimed at Bouma.
