What's wrong with the
Bruins ??
The B's
have been a lot less a team than we saw last year with
almost
the same line-up - so what gives ? Up until 2 days ago I couldn't quite put my
finger on it, I had my suspicions as to what it was but wasn't 100% sure- now I
am.
THEY HAVE NO BALLS !
Mark
Savard, the teams best player was viciously elbowed in the head on a dirty cheap
shot by a player known for doing this to other players in the past. The
collective reaction to this from management right on down to the players who
were on the ice on that shift was EMBARRASSING ! I don't know if its because
some of these guys are locked into some long term contracts and don't feel the
need to prove themselves anymore when theres no cash carrot to play for or they
have forgotten, from a short year ago, what brought the fans back to Boston
hockey....it was a Bruins team that FOUGHT not only with their fists but for
pucks and respect and for the guy next to them and when another team or player
didn't respect what that spoked B stood for it was dealt with swiftly and
harshly. Not this year.
Here's
what should have happened:
Players
on that shift:
What
happened: Michael Ryder skated "toward"
cooke very sheepishly and gave him a bit of a shove, Lucic also approached him
and gave him a face smoosh and then both teams came together in what looked like
a group hug
What
should have happened: Mark Savard is
our Crosby...the entire line should have converged on Cooke and all gloves
should have been on the ice. Period.
The rest
of the team:
What
happened: Cooke was out again on another
shift before the game ended and he was not challenged, I have heard the
arguments made by the coaches and the players that we wanted to tie up the game
"for Savy". Here's my take, there are 2 points on the line sure but so is the
reputation of your team and your locker room- you have to stand for something
and my theory is the respect you will get across the league will eventually earn
you those 2 points back and then some--and who knows, you may just win the game
anyway.
What
should have happened; The team needs to
fight here, period. If you don't have your fighters out there on the shift when
the penalty (oops, forgot they didn't even call one) err the cheap shot then the
other guys need to step up. The silence is deafening-- are these guys hockey
players or Businessmen ?
The Coach
What
happened: Claude said some good things but
not enough. Part of his job is to lead by example. How many times have you seen
a coach flip out behind the bench at the refs or the other teams coach and it
gets contagious, the team starts flying around, pumped up and inspired, didn't
happen here.
What
should have happened; Coach Julien needed
to give the Penguins coach an earful over the plexiglass and get a little more
emotionally invested. Calm and collected and professional are good traits to
have as a coach in the NHL but there are times you need to show some more
emotions- even if they may appear to some as "over the top" or "losing
control", it shows the team you care about the players and that goes a long way.
