Some media members and fans have insisted that the Bruins need an enforcer, and that it’s something that would help the team in the long run. The topic came up yet again after Saturday night’s game, when Adam McQuaid jumped Chris Wagner after a hit he didn’t like. That’s the type of guy McQuaid is, and the Bruins having an enforcer on the ice wouldn’t have changed the way things went down.
The reality? Boston has plenty of toughness in it’s lineup, and they don’t need to dedicate a lineup spot to an outdated enforcer.
