What is the deal with Coyle? He has moments like the goal in G2 where he looks like he should be able to do whatever he wants, and then it seems like games pass where you don't notice him and he just drifts. Is it just an effort thing or is something else going on there?
I used to have season tickets for BU hockey; I was saying the same thing while he was there

Last game was a blip. Time for the top 6 to assert themselves again and show how big of a gap there is between these two teams.

Coyle's been bad all year. No idea what happened or what the root issue is. He had a 45.71% xGF% in the regular season, lowest on the Bruins among forwards with at least 600 minutes of 5x5 ice time. He was outscored 26-19 in actual goals, a 42% GF%. His playoff xGF% has dropped even further, down to 42% and the Bruins have been outscored 8-5 with him on the ice.

Do whatever you want with the wingers, but that line will not be better until they figure out what's wrong with Coyle.

Playing with Ritchie and his piano is no way to help a guy get righted

I love when I turn a game on and I think we're on the PP because of how we're moving the puck, only to realize it's even strength.

If the Bruins can keep this going and keep going low to high, they’re going to get a bunch of good looks.

Love the posts in the "what sport has the best playoffs" thread stating it's something other than hockey.
