I guess, also in his defence, it’s not like anyone was hitting him or anything either. Like Tkachuk hammered Dickbagian pretty good twice before Zacho snapped and went further into caveman mode than normal. It’s not like anyone was doing that to Looch though. He kind of has a point. If no one engages him at all, then it’s way worse for him to just randomly grab someone and start beating on them.
The anger should be “how come our best player was forced to fight your goon, but not a single player on your team is willing to fight ours?” How come that isn’t in the media? Where’s the pressure on Kassian to fight someone in his weight class?
Edit: The one thing that pisses me off the most is that our Coach somehow decided that Dube would be more useful in that game than Rinaldo - the one guy that would have absolutely pounded someone 100%.

From what I saw Nurse was willing. I don't think Lucic was.
And who cares if any one was willing? When his other skills have diminished, he has to know it's his job to send a message. His team is down 7-3, why not take a couple shots at someone? take a double minor for roughing someone up. Do something to show both your team and the other team you have their back.
