And you know this how? Koivu told you? Or Ribeiro maybe?

ignore.
He obviously has no interest in having a serious discussion. He's here to bash.
Same old same old. This team is still pathetic on the backend, way to small and not nearly physical enough. Not sure why Bergevin thinks this team can ice such a small blueline with that pile of soft players upfront.
Two games in a row a lack of grit on the backend cost us points.
Oh, and even though Pleks scored, he was brutal tonight as was DD.

bergevin ,lol.wonder if he still needs to see more from pk??
He was terrible defensively on the tying goal tonight, and was on for the tying goal and winning goal last game. His defensive qualities are massively exagerated. He was last on the team with -15 last year and he his last on the team so far this year with -2.
A few years ago I would have agreed with you, but I find he puts much more on the line than he used to. He is not a tough guy by any means, but he plays a lot tougher than he used to.

Why exactly would MT sit his 4th best D-Men since the beginning of the season?
This is exactly what I'm trying to say. We need more size on D, but we can't sit Diaz,Markov, or Subban because of our PP and Gorges and Emelin for the PK and their defence, shot blocking, and physicality. Which leaves Boullion, who, despite his play and his grittiness, can't clear the net effectively. He's the only guy who could be sat for a crease clearing Dman, but:
1)MT likes him
2)He's played well
So we're left with an issue because simply, there is not enough room. What I'm asking for is a solution. Keep in mind I'm not bashing Boullion.
white is nowhere near prust .brandon plays hard AND smart.has prust cost us games taking stupid double minors?no.white should and will sit a few games.he will learn or he wont play.

Play Emelin on the PP and scratch Diaz. The better player remains in the lineup and the occasional physical 7th-D could be inserted here and there. Problem solved.
he took a double minor for roughing, though his intentions were good his timing is terrible, basically ott was giving gionta a hard time, and after that play white ran into ott dropped his gloves and started pummeling ott in the face and ott didnt fight back, so hence he got the penalty, it was a dumb thing to do, and unnecessary when you are leading and have the momentum.
Can someone tell me what White did? I don't feel like going and looking for it.. I had to miss the game tonight.. will re-watch tomorrow morning.

I would have rather them lost 4-0 then to lose that way.. but hey, at least they got a point I guess. And Chucky's batting 1000% in the shootout.
*DD Cole and Patches... where art thou?
*Michel.. do you think PK can't play defense very well or something? Third line D pairing, no PK time, not out there at the end of the game... Wake up man.
*Gio looked brutal tonight... weirdest penalty I've seen in a long time.
*White... Feel bad for the guy but he made his own bed. Probably gonna lie in it for a while.
*Budaj... Another loss. Carey, please don't get hurt.
