Again, I'm not concerned. We were without Couturier for 4 of the 5 games and in the 5th game we were missing 5 of our top 9 forwards. Our defense is improving game by game, especially the younger guys and Ghost. We're just not at the level we were for the second half of last season, but that will change now that we're getting healthy and past covid19.Agreed they have been good against everyone else but what does it matter if they can't get through Boston? They simply don't have a defensive pairing or even strategy to handle their only line of concern. They let them skate all over them with no effort to stop them it's unbelievable . Unless they trade for a dman who can actually do something to help stop that line or if the coaches can come up with a better game plan against them they won't win 4 of 7 against that team. I'm just being honest here...it does not look good right now as it is. Their special teams have also went to shit against them so that doesn't help.
Besides, we could've easily won a couple of those games against Boston this season and then nobody would be freaking out.
We're tied for 3rd in the division, just one point back of 1st and with games in hand on everyone around us. The present and future look bright, really.
