The Bruins have scored 5 more goals than the Hawks in 2 more GP, with much more NHL talent. People think Monty is going to come in here and make this a better offensive team?

Yeah, I'm not exactly on the Jim Montgomery train for a rebuilding team.

Monty is a hell of a coach

That Bs team had no business being as good as they were the past two years

Ulmark and Swayman are system goalies

The roster especially last year and this year is mediocre. They are playing Tyler Johnson in the top 6 and Zadarov (who I like) on the top pair with McCavoy. Apparently Mcavoy all of a sudden is having a terrible year. Z is a 4/5 D man and Johnson is a 13th forward at best

I'm not sure how you can scheme an offensive style, when you have 2 offensive players on the entire team. Only way you are even dreaming of being a decent team is being defense first.

Are you telling me that the players are unable to execute a cohesive forecheck or cycle? Perhaps they can't play a heavy game but they should be able to play positionally sound.

On another note, how many odd man rushes do they have? (hard for me to glean from the highlights)
Not many I would suspect. Why? They don't do quick regroups and when I do catch a game they are often rushing 2 on 3 or 4.

The system is designed to reduce odd man chances in general.

They scored 179 last year, on pace for 196 this year. Last years Sharks out scored us. They’re also out scoring us again this year.

Not really.

Their D lineup is basically the same as Chicago's.

In terms of forwards they have like one more impact forward than Chicago. Which becomes equal once Chicago calls up Nazar.

All things considered, their record right now is better than their roster.
