PostGame: Can We Start Wondering Aloud What's Wrong Yet?

by Ryan Durling on Feb 17, 2012 10:45 PM EST

Is it the holes at forward? Is it the inconsistent goaltending? Is it the fact that Chara's a minus-six over his last three games? Or is it something else?

They are nothing throwing their bodies around enough. Maybe that is part of them problem. They could be all banged up for playing so physical earlier this season and are trying to heal. Maybe they just don’t want it enough, but without a doubt they are not being very physical.

The lack of the physical part of their game is definitely an issue, because it’s usually their biggest strength. I don’t know if they’re concerned about officiating, or they’re just being lazy. I don’t get it.

They may be worried about the zebra calling everything on them. The officiating and Shanaban is starting to make this league weak.

Throw a what?

Havent seen that over the last little while.

They did it for Savy, they did it for Horton, they did it for each other, they did it for us. I give you the 2011 Stanley Cup Champions....The Boston Bruins!!

My Lions lost to the Saints who are clearly the better team. (This is what happens when you back your team and they lose),

I think a big part of the problem is the lack of tough physical play, and this is probably fear of the penalty/suspension they will receive. I think you can be safe in saying many gm’s and media have been going on incessantly about the Bruins physical, dirty play. I think Mike Gillis has been crying into the ears of whoever will listen, and it’s working. also no Horton is big, and losing Peverly almost certainly make a trade have to happen, even if that wasn’t the direction Chia wanted to go. Selanne would be my pick. Chara looks tired, and that puck in the neck didn’t help. he needs to be given a bit of rest. Marchand needs to really staY AWAY FROM ANY LOW HIT, BECAUSE EVERYONE IN THE MEDIA HERE IN cANADA IMMEDIATELY START CRYING ABOUT WHAT A DIRTY RAT HE IS. CAPS LOCK A MISTAKE, not emphasis. wish Cam could put on the skates, he would drive most of the players today through the boards with a perfectly legal crunch.
