Physical play is part of the makeup of a CONTACT SPORT. Don't like that fact? Go check out one of the many non-contact sports: baseball, soccer, basketball (debatable), tennis, volleyball, golf, swimming, gymnastics, track & field, skiing, speed skating, curling, chess…

I get so sick and tired of this banal and cliched response to the idea of someone using size and physical play as part of the scheme to win in a contact sport. It's real and viable, and clearly not going anywhere. Get used to it, or, at the very least, come up with a more original comment than that tripe.

PAP has got to be the worst nickname in the NHL.

Could be worse.
Smear.

PA is a great player, but wasn't he scratched a number of times by Roy?

He definitely has some connections.

He also definitely makes some #### up.

The guy would be better off reputation wise if he only posted when he had good info and not every single day making up #### just for page views... but while he'd be better for his reputation, it'd be worse for his wallet, so it is what it is.
