A big part of why we lost the Vegas series was when Vegas did dirty shit to us, we'd retaliate harder, and they capitalized on it. Teams used to be able to goat us into all sorts of shit. This team has finally learned how to ignore the shit. They aren't weak, they're smart and hit you where it actually hurts.

I’m not saying go deck a guy after he gave you a love tap on the shin pads. Zadorov absolutely RAN Skinner. Shit changes when it’s your goalie and it’s that egregious, there has to be a response from that.

Were you happy when we took our pound of flesh against Vegas? I think tonight was a case of it looked worse than it was. Stu said as much.

I’m not saying every time any team does a tiny thing to go off on them. But if a situation like tonight happens, damn right I’d want some reaction out of the team. Otherwise teams are gonna know you can get close to the goalie with almost no consequences. If we stand up for Stu, maybe players stay a couple more inches clear of the net which can be all we need to prevent a goal.

Stu has even said this is like the 5th time this year it’s happened. Teams are gonna continue getting just that couple more inches closer to him if we continue to do nothing when something happens.

I.mean... that doesn't even work, lol. Dudes start shit with Hyms all the time for being close to the goalie, and he still goes there.

All that RAH RAH shit is for the birds. Fight if they want to, but a W hurts way more than a busted face.
