Team is to soft as it is. They need more brute force. A center who will skate through a brick wall to get to the front of the net, and a defender who will knock down a brick wall to remove any Bruins trying to skate to the front of the net. But I keep hearing how this is the new softer, faster NHL, where you don't need those things to be successful. Just wait until the playoffs start ...

jamsim1967 Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) Just now, Karan said: This has been a recurring theme for a few months now unfortunately and both goalies have suffered by the defense's woeful lack of ability to clear the front of the net and allow opposing players to get multiple whacks at loose pucks or simply all alone in front. Goalies don't stand much of a chance against opportunities like that. I don't know what Drury is doing, but this is not a recipe for success. And I know I'm in the minority If I'm wrong, I will happily take my lumps. lol Edited March 8, 2023 by jamsim1967 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wanted a bit of sandpaper, but I'm not going to complain much. They've added playoff performers. Guys that have a track record of getting it done. They went full fledged skill and they went big time. They chose a direction and obtained some of the best offensive players the game has to offer. I'm glad they didn't half ass it and bring in some lower level borderline scoring and a scrub 4th liner. They got 2 of the best players in the league at their position. Its what they're going to roll with, so let's be positive and see how this goes. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lets wait and see. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 I don't understand why people keep talking as if Kane was the only move that was made... "We need to get bigger and go to the middle of the ice..." 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"We need to get bigger and go to the middle of the ice..." They didn't have to play with a short roster and be lost for a couple of weeks due to the aquisition of Senko. Comparatively it was miniscule compared to the mental anguish of this roster and the cap Gymnastics performed to acquire one single player in Kane. He is obviously one of the best to play the game of recent time but my goodness, how can you not expect him to be judged harsher than Senko?

That has nothing to do with this , which is what I'm referring to. 13 hours ago, jamsim1967 said: Didn't want him, didn't need him. Team is to soft as it is. They need more brute force.
