It's not Hedman's nature to just go out there and destroy people. If he constantly went out onto the ice looking for big hits, it'd take him out of position and he'd sacrifice very important defensive zone positioning. Even though physical aggression isn't a natural part of his game, he's been doing very well in the physical department and he had a few hip checks and body checks that successfully removed the Islanders' forwards off the puck.
Thank you! I thought Hedman had a pretty good game today. Saw more hitting out of him today than almost all of last season and it's still not enough for some people. More to being a defender than the ability to lay a guy out.
