What is most concerning is the pattern this team is starting to fall into, defensive breakdowns leading to numerous turnovers in their own end combined with a general lack of neutral zone chemistry could make these games leading up to the Olympic break a very trying time!
Tuukka and the current defense have struggled since the injury to Seidenberg making the need to pick up a veteran defenseman all the more necessary prior to the trade deadline.
As this current group of defenseman stand they will not go far into the playoffs without making a key acquisition! There have been rumors that they have been talking to Winnipeg about the possibility of bringing back Mark Stuart which would be a smart move IMO as he knows the system and was effective in his previous stint with the B's.
GO B'S GO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
I think defense has been pretty weak these past two weeks. There have a been bone head plays that have cost us as well as a lack of agression on defense. I think the B's should be fine with the group they got but their play needs to step up.
