I think we are not only too soft in general, but we have some serious shortcomings on defense and lack of ruggedness is only the beginning.
But living on the west coast i see many Vancouver canucks games and one thing I notice with their team and that seems to bring them success is the ability to position a forward(ie. the much maligned Todd Bertuzzi) who is capable of taking some serious physical abuse in front of the net which the Habs dont do on a regular basis; and I think that the Habs emphasis on a speed/finesse game may be somewhat misguided.
So yeah i wish we could tweak the system a little and become more of a physical force, especially when we will be playing so many games within our very physical and agressive division.
