How hard can it be to put some fear into a guy whenever he's along the boards? Or at least make him think twice. This used to be a routine tactic in the NHL.
Where has that edge gone?
It's like every player was forced to sign a don't touch McDavid agreement before the season started up.
Milan Lucic has a special place always just for knocking the dufus on his ass in game 1. He showed you don't even need to be fast/shifty to hit him.
The way teams defend him is pathetic. No pride, and too much respect. #### that.
Will someone actually try to take a bolder approach this time? One can hope.

But they’re told by the coach to not take unnecessary penalties and you’d also get an elbow to the chin in the process. So they just stand back worried he’ll blow by them and when he doesn’t, they’ve missed Hyman going to the net to bury the Bouch Bomb. Puke.
