Hey look, Luke scored. Before the game Smith was talking about how this team never gives up, even when down. I just do not have any confidence in them tying this game.

Bring up Mrazek

Honestly, he was shooting the puck every time he got it. Why not? Their goalie looks really shaky.

The real question is, why isn't everyone else getting it on net every single time?

You can be a speed/skill team and overcome physical play if you have great puck movement and a skilled, mobile back end. I don't think we are as fast as we think we are and we certainly don't have the kind of skill level on defense that is needed.

Theoretically, that is true, but it is much, much harder to go that route vs building a slightly tougher team. Look at the number of teams that compensate a lower skill level by being more physical. you give yourself a greater margin of error, especially in the tighter-checking playoffs.

This is embarrassing. The Bruins are playing their 3rd game in 4 days, and they are smoking the Wings.

I wonder if doc and Pierre still think we have the best structures defense in the league.
