It is a good point about what coaches encourage. I wonder what the encouragement from the Portland coaches is. For the last couple years I would think its not take any crap and hope the offense can make up for all the Powerplay goals. Late this season Portland did realize they would have it easier with the Tips to stay out of the box. Maybe if Collins came here, KC would get him out of the fight all the time mentality and have him focus on the game. Just make sure he still has some of it in him to stand up for the younger guys.
I take pride in not owning a cowbell!
