If nothing, I'm easily baited.I like 19&21 because he is effective at coaxing fallout out of the shadows :)
I think Buff plays on the edge a lot and he's a big guy. It makes a lot of his hits seem dirtier and worse than they probably are. I'm generally fine with that kind of play, although I don't particularly care for it. The league has a big problem with concussions that I don't think it's doing enough to address and he's not helping that situation any.
What I'm not fine with is the slash on Gaudreau last night.
Or when he sucker punched Cory Perry when he scored a goal in the playoffs.
Or when he crosschecked JT Miller in the neck.
If you're playing a fast game, shit happens. People get hurt. What gets to me about Byfuglien is that he takes these reactionary shots on players for no goddamn reason other than he seems to be pissed off about something. None of it is reasonable or acceptable. It's got no place in the game. Meanwhile, I don't think the DOPS is doing enough about it. Do I think he deserved a game for that slash? Not really, if you're going to compare it to what a 1 game suspension looks like. Do I think he deserved more than that piddly fine? Absolutely. I don't really think anything will change in that regard, either.
