Even then, you have 82 x 6 = 492 man games for D
That high number which is already very hard to believe is average less than a hit / rub out per game per D man. I am sure they were not all bone rattling hits.
Nice talking point until you look at the numbers.

It was brian Burke on HNIC IIRC...so take it up with him, Im just repeating what was said.
But even if you dont like it, the D men themselves (particularly Giordano) have repeatedly stated they appreciate the wear and tear it saves on their bodies.
