I had taken an attitude that with all the new rules and softer play that an enforcer may not be necessary in todays league.......After Sundays Ams/Tips debacle I have changed my view.
When you have a ref that allows the cheap **** that was going on in that game then a team has to fall back to the old school rule of policing their own sport......unfortunately we do not have a Boogard who can single handedlly put a stop to it........As a result our players completely lost their composure and that is our bad not Everetts or Thiesens.......Some policing and retaliation was in order but lets hope we don't let the likes of the Tips influence another meltdown like we experienced.

P. S. Thiesen sucks!
