You're doing it wrong. This anti-boyle crap that's going around is fantasy. He's been one of our best faceoff men, and he has played very physical. He's not on his ass half the game. He's actually played a very tough grinding game (hitting included) for a while now. Obviously the goals aren't coming much, but they're creating a lot of chances, which at very least is preventing the opposition from creating offense. Also the forecheck is wearing down the opposition. Fighting a guy like Boyle on the forecheck just wears them down even more. Boyle has been great for us this year.
