such as Phil “The Lumberjack” Kessel, these players now carry weapons of mass concussion every time they take the ice. Big guy coming to take you down? Show him your best Game of Thrones impersonation! Then, wait until he’s distracted by your teammates, and spear him! Squeal, pig!

You’re all going to see soon enough, though, so there’s no sense in debating it now.
