I would like to see some punishment doled out to Gaudreau tonight. Calgary was dirty on McDavid last game with multiple late hits and attempts to muck it up with him in scrums. If they're going to do that, I think there should be some express show that it's going to just get Johnny Hockey hurt if they do that. If Archibald needs to be out there, then this would be something he could be used for. It can't be someone like Kassian without risking a significant penalty, but Archibald "accidentally" following through after a whistle, or something? I think a message should be sent.

Is it just me or do we have zero D that do that kind of nasty stuff? Nurse has angry face sometimes, but he's usually just doing the chest puffed out, look at what a massive beast I am, laugh everyone off as a tiny mosquito to him intimidation stuff. Keith can barely keep up with the play and just tries to collect himself after whistles. Russell, Barrie and Bouch don't have a mean bone in their bodies. Ceci is pretty chill.
The guy that used to chase Johnny around when we played the Lames was Larsson. That was pretty much it. I feel like Mikey Anderson did more to piss off our stars in the last Kings series than our entire D core did combined so far in the playoffs. Mikey Anderson of 110 career NHL games.
Hard thing to "fix". Still need good players. Just some bad luck on personalities I guess, guys that enjoy mixing things up with the opposition and enjoy being pests. Not a big or small thing. It's purely a personality trait. Obviously Tkachuk is the poster body of being a shameless annoying troll every second of every game, probably from a lifetime of learning to laugh while being beat up by his brother. Obviously also hard to quantify how much it actually matters, aside from giving entertainment/satisfaction to fans.
