Too many weak sisters.

this is exactly right but these types of comments never get any credit because these are intangibles that are hard to measure.
There's no stats for how hard a guy digs for the puck in the corner, for how hard he'll hit or hold his stick with control of the puck, or be willing to skate that extra mile on the backcheck.
The Pens are more talented than Boston, but they aren't better then them.
