Yeah, talent has gotten us the record we have.
Don't think if we traded Marner for Simmonds we'd magically be 29-0-0.
This toughness talk only peaks after we lose to a physical team or one of our star players get hit like it's not a contact support.
Both just happened within a short time span so it's pretty built up. It'll go away when we win the next few games and play less physical teams like Florida, Tampa, & NJD.

I remember Dubas saying that his plan was to always draft and develop skill. If a gritty or physical player is needed we can always trade for one. I'm too lazy to look for the quote but I hope my memory is serving me right...I'm only one drink in.

Can’t blame the refs on that one.


Babcock should be pushing the matchup not waiting for it.

Because of nights like this.
I think that this is a small sample exposing the leafs inability to compete with a more physical team
This is not the first time we’ve seen it this year or in recent years when a team just imposes their will
I think that the playoffs will expose them even more. Same as last year

- Skalapy

Bruins aren't physical...there's nothing tough about the Bruins team that is on the ice right now.

the 1st good shot of the night goes in, Halak is crap, if they would have taken better shots they wouldn't be losing.

Just out of curiousity, which other physical teams do we have a hard time against?
San Jose?
LA
Columbus?
Winnipeg
Washington?
Can someone look up our records against these teams. I'm too lazy.

Then (frank)ing skate, put pressure on the D, and make those stretch passes, and outwork the other team... like they've been (frank)ing doing all season.

It's great to say hey Bumblebee, transform into a robot and go wreck some poop, but these guys ain't that.

Play to your strengths.

Bruins are not physically imposing especially not with chara out but they play t o u g h
Gritty and more inspired. Let’s see if leafs feed off the goal


Not another for the delicate bruins as you said
