The clips Bieksa showed of the Canes getting bullied were painful to watch. Especially Aho getting jumped by Tkachuk, with two other Panthers ready to take on any Canes who joined the fray, and no Canes showing up.
People go on about how size and grit aren’t important in today’s NHL, but physical intimidation still matters in the league. A lot. And the playoffs are just a different beast from the regular season in terms of physicality.
This is a copycat league, so expect teams to rejig their rosters to get bigger and meaner.
