I do. I expect anyone on defense who allows easy paths to Ilya to have a nice little chat with Big Z.
Ok I’ll be that guy. I don’t get it. Was not impressed with him last year, looked way too slow. I’m hoping this is another taxi squad move because I’m worried if we’re counting on him to be effective.
somebody please tell me why Boston wouldn’t pay 750k for one last ride?
The guy looked like a statue last year. I don’t see him being that defense stopper we would like him to be.DEFENSE! We got 5 guys who might as well be playing forward and a young goaltender. Bad combo. This gives someone to go along with Dillon to protect Ilya. Plus with Hank out, Sammy is likely playing more games.

IMO it's one part culture, another part goaltending questions. Chara's mobility and offense isn't what it was but the defensive metrics remain really strong. I'm not totally sold whether that will translate in a new system and with a different group but the base in-zone area coverage should still apply.Maybe Lavi watched film and wasn't impressed with Siegenthaler and they don't want to rush Fehervary or Alexeyev into full-time duty. They also now have eight legitimate NHL defensemen -- four on the left in Dillon, Orlov, Chara, and Siegenthaler and four on the right in Carlson, Jensen, Schultz, and TVR -- so they're protected against injuries or a bad run of play during the compressed season. Big Z also should be a big help on the PK. Hard to complain about this signing... except McPhee should have done this in 2006.
Ditto !This Bruins fan says Go Caps! I’ll be cheering for you as long as this man plays for you.
