I'm actually fine with Sheary, E-Rod and Larsson for the time being. Even Pominville is reasonably responsible with the puck.
Skabotka though. His passes are maybe the worst on the team when he's under pressure. He just fires the puck to wherever.
I don't know if size is necessarily the answer. I think it's more that they need to solve the teams that play a heavy game by line-matching and playing at a fast enough pace that the grind you down style isn't effective. That means making quicker decisions with the puck.
I think the lack of talent and experience on the roster tends to hamper their ability to overcome the physical stylings of a team like the Bruins.
I also think Phil's stated disinterest in line-matching is contributing there as well.
Funny you mention that. I was thinking the same thing last night. His shooting might be about as good as Larsson's. His wrist shot might be accurate, but it has absolutely no power behind it.
