I'd go with milquetoast.

You'll all love this... watching the between period interview on NESN, and Brett Ritchie says (paraphrasing) "yeah, we know a lot of them don't like to get hit much, so we started taking it to them". Says all you need to know about this team.

Fewest shots on goal the Bruins have taken in a period this season, and of course, one goes in.

I gotta suffer through Jack Edwards on NESN. ?

And stifling Skinner's potential.

Well, they certainly didn't deserve to win that one.

Mojo ugh

...I'm listening....

Fire at will!

Good thing Jack showed up tonight.

OK.....

Anything else on tonight?

Pucks to the net....pucks to the net....

Holy crap! I saw Reinhart hit someone! (rubs eyes)

Who didn't go to the net on that 2 on 2?

The most dangerous lead in hockey (?)

Just flat out getting out skated.

Is not taking the body an actual strategy? Asking for a friend

Rik Emmett can shred!

Probably sees the handwriting is on the wall.

Captain!

You're right, certainly subjective. If you only watch one team regularly (not saying you do), it's hard to discern how that team's average effort level compares to other teams' average effort level. Living where I do, I see a lot of Bruins games, and it seems they are more consistent in their level of effort on a nightly basis. But they're on a 4-game skid, so... And I also find it difficult to determine how much is due to effort vs. talent.
