Also remember Ras straight up punching a Oiler in the face game one for hacking the goalie, it was obviously addressed.

This might be also helping Tanev stay healthy. For years we heard that he was declining and injury prone etc. and I think it's because Vancouver forced him into those dirty defensive spots where you can get hurt.
This year we have Z and G doing that like tree trunks to the opposition.
