A Kinder, Gentler, Defense | St. Louis Game Time
While the hits show a *slightly* more passive Blue’s team in the 2014-2015, I think it should be pointed out the Blues had a +57 goal differential in 2013-2014 and a +47 in 2014-2015. That was top three in the league both years.

Tyler Seguin used Boston Bruins criticism as ‘motivation’ after trade | Comcast SportsNet
“In fairness to the Bruins, Seguin didn’t do much in the playoffs with the Stars during his first season in Dallas. And he was suspended for the final game last season in Dallas for missing a team meeting in much the same fashion he was reprimanded for the same issues in Boston.” Glad we’re being fair to the poor Bruins.
