Flying the Flag

I think the problem with Waite was two fold:

1 - He would get suspended without hurting the opposition

2 - He missed a lot of games through injury, so adding more missed games through suspension hurt

I'm leaving the injury part out of it. If we want aggressive players, then we cant pick and choose who we get. It's natural for some guys, and not others.
My point is, that when we are crying out for aggression, crying out for guys to retaliate to opposition thugs and "draw a line in the sand", then sometimes the retaliator is going to get sanctioned. We need to accept that fact if we want someone standing up for the kids so to speak.
