matt man....you got to learn how to read..... hockey buzz says that leetch is working out IN boston not for boston....i work out in boston sometimes too but that doesnt mean the team is interested in signing me...

Re: Leetch. I don't get this attitude that he's an over the hill guy who sucks. He was our best defenseman last year. I also don't get this pervasive notion that our defense was the problem last year. On the whole they did reasonably well (average--just look at the stats). The only thing I can think of is that some people mistook poor defensive play for the way the new rules handicapped the defensemen. Scoring was up league wide, not just in the Bruins D zone. Unfortunately, the one place scoring wasn't up was in the Bruins offsensive zone...
What the Bruins truly lacked last year is the same thing missing so far this year: they could not score enough points to win games in the new NHL. And that's the one area I was dissapointed in Leetch: he never did much for our PP.
So Leetch: sure I'd love to have him, in theory. On the cheap. But the problem as I see it is that he's used to being the main guy--a leader--and he'd have to play third or fourth fiddle on this team. Seems to me that could cause a lot of discord.
That--and what we really need is punch up front, not more D.
IDIOTS!!!!!!!!!
