The Winnipeg Jets have used the, for lack of a better word, brutality of Dustin Byfuglien to scare their opponents since the year before they moved from Atlanta.
I hate just talking about Dustin Byfuglien as a destructive force, because he’s so much more. But good heavens is he terrifying. We as analysts and fans can’t really use any advanced statistics to quantify fear, but I can’t imagine there’s a player others are more terrified of.
Sometimes it’s awesome and fun, like against the Vegas Golden Knights. But sometimes it’s excessive and violent, like when he tried to decapitate J.
