I personally think the Bruins beat us because they're one of the best, deepest teams in the league and we were still building to that. Now, a physical edge is part of their being better and deeper, but we could have had the exact same level of physicality, but been better and deeper ourselves and beaten them. As mentioned above, we played other physical teams in this incarnation and won. At least last year it looked like we had closed the talent gap a bit.
And to be clear, I would never steer clear of adding physical players. I'm just for always adding the best talent you can. And we have a handful of guys that play a tough game and others that don't entirely shrink in that type of game.
