Teams ease off often when they get a lead. Yes, even on the NHL level.
I wish. Unfortunately it's up to the coach.Can we bench Jokinen?!?
Step off the pedal a bit offensively to focus on defense? Of course. "Toy" with the other team. No.
We're working hard, we just aren't that good.
Just to add to the wounds, bruins winning 1-0. Rangers winning 2-1.

Just stop scoreboard watching.Every fan on here. Just stop. It's over.
Just watched Boston 1rst goal. A snap shot from the blueline. Why does it go in? They created traffic in front of the net all the time
Well then fire Tallon he told us it was a 5 year plan, its been 5 years where's our Stanley Cup? If we aren't good enough to beat Keith Kincaid now then I don't see enough potential for this team to ever be THAT good
Again, the only two guys we have who go to the front of the net on a consistent basis are scratched for whatever reason. Why we scratch them instead of Jokinen Flash or Thornton, I have no idea, but Gallant seems to be more and more clueless every game
The fact that Jokinen and Bolland have not been a healthy scratch shows that Gallant is oblivious or he can scratch them due to their contracts

I'll never understand the scratch Bolland or Jokinen campaigns. Jokinen is our third highest scoring forward and plays PK. Bolland contributes some points and is fine in a third line center role. But scracth them because it's their turn? Or because we don't like how how they look when they play? I don't get it.
I really hope no one believed that. Sometimes, in life, you just have to say things to keep people happy. Taking a team with no assets to the Cup in 5 years is never, was never, and will never be a realistic expectation. We aren't good enough to beat the NEW JERSEY DEVILS on one night. That's not important. Our best skaters are 18, 19, 21, and 22. Let them mature.
We don't have time for that, we'll be in Quebec by then
