Dumb. This is the NHL, guys don’t stop trying or playing. There are guys fighting for jobs and contracts.
Rangers locked the game down Boston couldn’t establish a forecheck and get much going.
Gooning it up wouldn’t have done much of anything
I agree, gooning it up wouldn’t have done a thing and that era of hockey is over for good.
My issue as a Bruins fan is we’ve been embarrassed two nights in a row. Take away our rout of Philly in Lake Tahoe we are in a putrid 4 of 5 skid. Too short a season for that not to be a problem,
Add to that NY ran Pasta in the first (as would I, by the way). Lindgren alone tagged him hard twice.
Bruins should have “run around” a bit in the third, finishing checks hard. If that leads to fight, so be it. But they didn’t and were very tame. Just playing out the game. Not good.
Next game better be very high energy and high intensity.
Shed load of injuries to an already young D, yes. But going to need effort and intensity to change tide.
