Lucic's wrist is just not right. He can't handle the puck and he knows it, and he's trying to overcompensate.
 
Edit: That's not a bad penalty, just trying to do too much to make up for a mistake.

He's never really had great hands to begin with...
Right, so when his hands get worse, they go from below average to horrible. He has an above average wrist shot though, and now that's gone too.

Yep. I'm not sure what the more pressing need is, a top 4 D or top 6 RW. 
Top 4 D by far. The forwards will come along, I don't see anything making the D better though.

But you say he's the dumbest forward in the league and is horrible like Pavlov's dog every game thread. I say he's hurt. They can't afford to sit him because their other forwards are pretty bad too. As long as he's not preventing his wrist from healing, gotta keep playing him and getting him back to form. 
 
Or we could trade him for pennies on the dollar. Because that would help.

McQuaid looks mentally lost out there but I think his skating and strength look better than I ever remember. I'm willing to give him some games to shake off the rust. Still, best case scenario he's just a decent 4th defenseman

Between here and everywhere.
Who gives a shit if he's hurt? Does it matter why he's sucking?

He's actively hurting the team. They can afford to sit him, and should if he can't play his game. He's David Clarkson bad right now. If he can't score, and he isn't using his physical presence to open up space for his line mates - he shouldn't be on the "1st" line. Bring up Pastrnak, or Khoko. They can't be any worse.

Yes it does matter why he's sucking when people are calling for him to be shipped out of Boston.

Good PP. It looks like they're going with more of an umbrella with a single man high this year than they have in the past.

Umm, the call was hooking. Not too many men.

That's a horrible hooking call but makes up for the fact that it occurred with 7 guys on the ice.

Bergy not touching the puck in the corner so that Loui could touch it and not have it be a handpass is why Bergy is awesome.
