The defense was a mess. Bartkowski was either turning the puck over or taking dumb penalties. Krug....I love his offensive skills, his speed, his mindset....but as a battle-on-the- boards defenseman....too small....it was glaring how many battles he lost on the boards in the third period. And Chara.......the guy is slipping physically, and with $7 mill, $7 mill, $5 mill, $4 mill on the books the next 4 years, cost vs performance will be painful.
Bartkowski should have had an assist on the first Montreal goal. He had a bad post-season.
Chara looked like he was playing hurt. He fell down a few times last night.
Offseason focus needs to be on practicing putting the puck between the posts and below the crossbar.
