Deslauriers doesn't get talked about much but he's one of the toughest guys in the league. Not many can say they've stood toe to toe with Lucic, Reaves, Macdermid, and pretty much every other big name since the true enforcers have left the game.
Good I want to see more instigator penalties called when a player gets jumped for making a clean hit. They should be called. You shouldn't be forced into a fight for every big hit you throw. Especially if it's on a non star player. Definitely need to start enforcing the instigator penalty more.
Good on Smith for giving Deslauriers time to get ready. He could have just gone in there and gone ham. Des just dropped the gloves and started swinging while Smith was still waiting to see if he'd go.
Givani Smith is beginnig to look like an amazing enforcer. I think if he puts on some more weight he might become a really dangerous player to have on the opponents team GO WINGS
Hes not a scorer but he can definitely move. Former D turned into an enforcer but what people don’t realize is how funny he is and his locker room presence. He was protected in the expansion draft for this reason

Deslaurier doesn’t back down from anyone

Great tilt!
Better effort then Larkin put up last night
Smith is getting tougher and tougher. Deslaurier is in my opinion top 3-4 tough guys in the league and smith held his own. Nice to see as a wings fan

Dirty hit, deserved to get a penalty and didn’t, smith the referee now boy
Commentators acting like deslauriers is tough for hanging in there with smith cause smith is a big guy, they literally weight the same lol

GO WINGS
If Smith is the only guy the Wings have to fear, it's too little, too late. We need some big boys who can take care of themselves like Seider.
Deslauriers is the much better fighter, he just didn't have the reach. Deslaur is a bad bad dude.
Was a clean hit , Smith needs to read the rulebook
Nice hit to the head GG
Уголек неплохо держался

I hate the instigation call… it's not that Smith took the first shot… stupid
