I was thinking, the same thing. Playoffs are a different game where a team needs to impose their will on the opposition while being skilled enough to score some goals. This team does have some size, it doesn't have the necessary meanness. Florida and Toronto have not had much trouble taking the top two lines out of the game. Marchand is a tough pest who doesn't back down even if he is too small to do it all himself. It is not surprising that Freddy often looks like the best Bruins forward this playoffs. In 2011 the entire roster was gritty with players like Horton, Campbell, Marchand, Ference throughout the lineup, not just on the fourth line. And when that was not enough, the team had four of the toughest best fighters in the league, Thornton, Lucic, McQuaid and Chara to keep the other team from running around. Peeke fits the bill and hopefully Beecher and Barzeau add a bit of sandpaper to their games when resetting the roster next year.

Bennett at it again. Jumped non fighter lindholm earlier this year, injured knies last playoffs, etc etc etc. Someone just give this guy what he has coming already
So much for the NHL watching the game last night. That prick and his teammates did the same thing And nothing happened.
Great job NHL!

Been watching hockey my entire life and have never, not once, seen a guy "brace" for a collision by throwing out their far arm like that. Just not a thing that happens, for pretty obvious reasons. Clearly a punch. Clearly intentional.
f*** it. Line brawl. f*** the NHL. You go RIGHT AFTER THEM. Take one for the team.

The Forbort Peeke experiment produced nothing last night. They both looked equally bad to me. The idea that Wotherspoon would play better with Peeke or Shattenkirk to me is an illusion. I also don’t like playing Wotherspoon on his wrong side and I would not play Shattenkirk on his wrong side. I do think it’s time to look at Gryz or Shattenkirk again, but how would you make the entire lineup is questionable. Also, I don’t think you can put both in unless you remove Lohrei and that’s probably not happening. So one goes in. Peeke will provide no offense. The hope for more offense relates to Gryz.
Options, if Gryz back in then Peeke has to play
Lohrei/Gryz McAcvoy
Lindholm Carlo
Lohrei/Gryz Peeke
Options, if Shattenkirk back in then have to choose between Forbort and Wotherspoon. Both have reasons why they should play. But don’t tell me we’ll get more offense from Wotherspoon than Forbort. Both these D provide no offense. The hope for more offense relates to Shattenkirk.

if there is no response to what happened to their captain in then next 2 games without him , this team might as well get blown up cause they have no f***ing guts and pride and its shameful to watch at times
We've got nothing to lose now.
Run their players. I want fists. I want elbows. I want elbows. I want you in their faces. The NHL isn't calling anything for us anyways so take the penalty or punishment. Dish it out.
Our captain was injured by a dirty play that they've BEEN doing. So do the same. I'm over this passive bullshit. Our 4th line needs to take one for the team here.

If that’s the route the Bruins want to go they have to target Barkov and only Barkov, if he’s out their cup hopes are done as well.

Yea but Bennett gets nothing.GeorgeParros is the biggest goof in such a position I have ever seen.
They are not doing nothing
Lucic has bigger issues than continuing his career in the NHL. I hope he gets and accepts the help he and his family need.
I’m moving Bennett from actually tough to fake tough spot picker and I do not want to win the series, I want to hurt as many panthers as possible. If that’s how they want to play make it impossible for them to win going forward
