On the Bright side, David Pastrnak uncorked a missile to avoid the B’s getting shut out.

View LinkView LinkSheesh. At least Charlie McAvoy got himself a goal!View LinkGood stuff, Chuck!Anyway back to suffering. Fabian Zetterlund, feel free to do the honors. View LinkThanks, I only want to cry a lot.3rd PeriodThere was penalties! There was punching!But that doesn’t count towards the score, no matter how much the drunk guy in the rafters says it should. The Bruins lose 6-2. Game NotesYour TOI leader was Charlie McAvoy, who logged 21:59 tonight. By just number of shot attempts, this was a fairly even game.

Key Highlights

  • The big difference was two-fold; shot danger and goaltenders.
  • The Ottawa Senators basically founded a town in the offensive zone, and specifically the highest danger portion of the ice, and the Bruins backcheck just did not respond to it in any way; shape or form.
  • If they did, it was largely in the form of impotent struggling, which did not help for much of anything.
  • I understand if fans happen to like individual parts of the blueline (and definitely get it if you don’t), but the whole thing needs a hard upgrade or two because certain individuals on this team, and it is not just the whipping boy, need to be playing down a pairing at most.
  • It was the crushing lack of ability to get the puck out of the zone that failed them tonight as it’s failed them the last few times they’ve played Ottawa. It is a little darkly funny that Morgan Geekie and David Pastrnak together are now just the lifeblood of the Bruins offense.
