Tonight though, Boston did.
Did better than I thought they would without Marchand in the lineup. Whatever you think of him as a player, there's little question he's become the heart and soul of that team. Losing him may have fired the B's up a bit, but not surprising that they eventually crumbled.
Seriously, I feel the Cats are like the modern-day version of the Broad Street Bullies, with Sam Bennett as Bully-in-chief. He's got Tom Wilson-level meanness and hits to hurt. Players like him and Matthew Tkachuk make the Cats real tough to like.
cheers,
