Outside of Laughton and Simmonds, this team is softer than melted butter

It really is a shame. It's painful to watch our D try to move someone or win a board battle

They're so bad along the boards. Simply cannot execute normal hockey plays consistently.

They have to understand how you have to beat a team that sits back -- you have to be committed to taking the puck out of 50-50 battles

They have got to manage the puck better and win battles

Its shocking that a franchise employing Ron Hextall and Dave Brown in the front office and Berube and Lappy behind the bench can ice a team this (frank)ing soft

The puck management tonight is as bad as I've seen in a long, long time -- this is just atrocious

And what happens? A beautiful scoring chance.

Like clockwork.

What in his brain convinced him that was a good idea?

"Campbell can really throw the body around...RJ Umberger remembers that back when Brian was a Sabre..."

OBJECTION

I really have a hard time believe Umberger remembers anything about that.

Need to have team toughness. It is an issue, at least to some extent, because there's games where they are more physical than others

Now that was a big-time shift on the boards by Simmonds and Schenn -- that's how they have to do it
