Pretty much my worries I posted (from the other thread)....
I was a little surprised the linesmen didn't jump in a little sooner. Willie got in some really good uppercuts and the guy was taking a beating. He was clearly trying to just turtle...these days they usually jump in to try and stop it.Good for Willie. That's what a teammate is supposed to do. Probably won't help his rep with the league or other fans but Willy is bolstering his position of heart and soul of this team.I'll take the trade off (especially late in a game) of him getting tossed to "do what is right" for his team. Although, as he was being escorted off, I was worried about us finishing the game without him.

This why we need another elite enforcer on this team.
When the you’re enforcer is your best all round player, including defenseman, him going off the ice is a liability. One that can be exploited by the other team
But having him grab his ankles and say “Yes Ma’am”!to woman’s-rules hockey and let schmucks like Cole take runs on players because the rest of the team can’t fight and can hold a lead, should not even be suggested.
Having a second player will not only help the situation like last game, but would also protect Willow against the players trying to deliberately target/challenge him directly to get him off the ice.
