I was going to add that in my post as I don?t know what he?s like but my point is sometimes you need that presence in the lineup to keep the other team honest and keep your stars from getting abused. No different in TO when Lucic crosschecked Matthews into the boards. Could have been a serious injury and no pushback.

I mean Lucic is a 14 year veteran and while he's a shadow of his former self as a hockey player he's still probably the toughest player in the entire league. Throwing one or two tough guys into your line-up just isn't going to change the way he plays. It just won't. And for the record the Leafs did add two guys to their team this season that would fit that description.
 
Simmonds is having another night where he isn?t really doing anything.  I?ll give him that it?s the second half of a back to back amd he?s working to get his game conditioning back up but I?m really not seeing much of anything that looks like the kind of physical presence we want to see out of him

It's a shame Bogosian just fell there for no apparent reason I guess.
