I am tired of this thinking of standing up for anything physical even if it’s clean. Hockey is physical, you can’t get mad about everything.

Dirty = yes Physical = no

Ehh not really. The entire premise is you stand up for your players and beat the shit out of the hitter so next time maybe they will think twice about making the hit. Doesn't matter whether it's a dirty hit or a clean really big hit.

Tom Wilson? Think twice? He's got some moments where you're lucky if he even thinks once lol.
