Players who can play and fight sometimes is a neat combo, but we need a tough guy who isn't afraid to go to the box if necessary. I could care less what David Branch wants for the future of major junior....the refs aren't enough to keep players safe. This team needs a fighter. Someone to intimidate, and secure the future guys like steel from liberties. And that player isn't our number one defenceman.
