No, they lost because the whole team is too slow.
It's like other attributes - you can have smaller players if you surround them with size. You can have slower players on a team with speed. The Bruins are the slowest team in the NHL - therefore a terrible matchup against the Habs.
That said, you could play the series 5 times and Boston could win 4. The Rangers would have exposed them too though, imo
