I think he needs to earn his space out there. I think guys see him as a bit timid and easy going and they hack and whack him and this leads to a lot of injuries. I love what I saw from him last night. Maybe if he starts dishing out some serious slashes and crosschecks people won’t be so eager to hack him.
He doesn’t need to fight. If they know you will hit him back with your stick, they will think twice about coming at you hard.
