Everyone is a little on edge after losing two in a row.
Being spoiled can be a burden

No kidding Not happy with the effort, being pushed around and no push back for me. Like to see some toughness added but only from guys that can play and contribute, not easy to find. Don't need meatheads costing us penalties all over the place and who couldn't play worth a damn like carbomb or Gudas or that ilk.

Overall team has gotten by with the over abundance of offence a lot lately and they need to start getting their game on track some.

Early enough in the season, all teams go through ups and downs. Be nice to curb this one before it gets to any great length though.

I hate the Bruins especially McIvoy who looks like a major league punk but you have to admit it was a late hit.

Whenever the other teams play physical we struggle... THat is the concern when we get into the playoffs. Skill is great, but you have to hit and battle and be the aggressors...

Polak.

If we're going to add toughness it has to be on the back end where we need upgrading anyway.
The only thing I can see happening is bringing up Borgman to play a game or two and tell him to hit whatever he sees.
I don't disagree that toughness can help but people are being hypersensitive about it because it's Boston. Everyone wants to see a train of Boston players headed to the ER.
That said, I'm so glad the likes of Komarov and Martin are gone.

To show toughness.

You can't intimidate us, it'd be a bad perception.

This is playoff hockey

If that is a late hit, then there are late hits all over the ice. He was admiring his pass.

FFS, it was late, dirty and stupid.

If a Bruin had hit a Leaf like that, we would be losing our poop.

I'm still waiting for our record against "tough teams" as proof. It's a bullpoop statement.

no not Sandin, they should dump Liliagren, i am not impressed with him at all, Sandin will be very good, he is much better than Liliagren.

Luckily for the Bruins, being a tough team, they never have to endure those type of hits

I don't mind trading one of them: we can't keep both in the Seattle expansion draft.

Very much so. Running away scared and hiding our better players wouldn't be tough.

We played really tough tonight and deserved the two points we got.

Cheap shot by Human.

This is 3 in a row where the tram came out unprepared to play. Buff, Det, and Bos all.toom it to them early. It's lime they think they're entitled and teams are going to just roll over. Where the hell is Babcock in all this?? He needs to bag skate them.
