For some reason, they are allowed to get away with whatever. Patriots cheating, Patriots getting away with calls, Bruins running everyone over with no calls, it’s what it is for some unknown reason.

Expand Sabres only have 2 defenders under 6 foot. Rest were 6-6'2" tonight and they have 6'6" and 6'4" joining that backend either in a couple weeks or at years end. I wouldn't worry about the size of the defense. 1 Quote

You've stated multiple times the Bruins are "bigger" and it's simply not true. Expand The Bruins aren’t bigger. They are certainly more physical and absolutely more talented. We’re going to see this game a lot this year. Ugh. I just hope nobody quits playing as much as that turd Hall did last year. 1 1 Quote

You've stated multiple times the Bruins are "bigger" and it's simply not true. Expand Bigger is maybe the wrong word but they do play bigger. They are stronger, bulkier, bigger upper body overall. I mean guys like the dreaded and hated Marchand are small guys but for their size are really strong. The eye test indicates they are "bigger" in terms of muscle mass. Not height. For example, Dahlin is an inch taller than McAvoy but upper body McAvoy is much bigger and definitely stronger. 1 Quote
Popular Post Wyldnwoody44 Posted October 23, 2021 Popular Post Report Posted October 23, 2021 One thing is for sure, we just lost 4-1 and no one in here is that upset or ready to trash the team. We said coming into the year if we worked hard and showed pride through 60, that would indeed be a giant step in the right direction. We are 3-1 and we've been averaging 35 shots a game and doing it with some speed and skill as well. 7 1 3 Quote

They draft skilled players willing to be physical, and complement them with trades and FA’s willing to do the same. Expand With the exception of McAvoy (and maybe Lysell last year) Bruins drafting has been sh## . They've mostly added FAs and made late season trades to stay competitive with that perfection line. They definitely do however, try to fit players into the existing style they have and favour. That team definitely reflects Cam Neely sitting at the top as overseer. 1 Quote

As was stated over and over, we had a boatload of chances and out chanced them. They buried theirs and we put ours off the post and off the back of Ullmarks leg. Expand That’s just it. We give maximum effort but don’t have the talent to finish. We really have to work to score. Boston waited for us to make a mistake and buried it every time. They then went cruise control the rest of the game. Quote
