yup, Cherry’s fascination with Gary Roberts was curious, he couldn’t compete at the high level of play between the Wings and Pens. physical play and sucker punching people are different things.

While they have a good point, the Penguins didn’t lose to Detroit because they weren’t tough enough, they lost because they were outplayed.

We want guys who can play, and if they happen to be tough (like Ryan Malone), then great.
