The Boston Bruins placed an awful lot of faith in this year’s team. They believed no major overhaul was needed and the Bruins could get their way back into the playoffs this year. So far, the Bruins faith seems to be slightly misplaced.
The Black and Gold are missing a certain amount of snarl. There don’t seem to be many players that are keep other teams accountable for their errors. (No member of the Bruins has had more than two fighting majors this year.)
The Bruins seem to be missing a certain level of physicality as well.
