I just don’t think 1 or 2 depth guys fix the team toughness issue.

Too many “skill” players in the top 9 who don’t want to risk their hands in a tussle.

Yeah we saw that with Hathaway, even Foligno a little bit. Normally chippy, tough guys who mostly turned teddy bear in Boston. If the culture's not there in that way, one or two depth guys won't change it on their own.

Maybe Lucic could have through sheer force of his personality and reputation, but even that's doubtful.

Calling it now, This will be very disappointing 3-4 home stand! Say why you want be we are soft unprepared and pathetic after 9 days off. Before anyone says, it’s the rust of not playing well Calgary was off too! Pathetic to play like this at home.

No team in the NHL relies on goaltending more than the BRUINS.
They also have the best.
So it would appear they have the most to lose if it were to falter.
But I hear ya.
Bruins were exposed by Panthers last season. It's the blue line that is their Achilles heal. Agreesive forcheck and the Bs D just flounders.

I'll take this bet this team can reel a 7 game winning streak. Not worried.

The goaltending for Boston has provided a smoke screen for the averageness of most of their blue liners.
