5 takeaways from the Bruins’ Game 5 loss to the Maple Leafs

COMMENTARY

There was no shortage of indigestion in Boston from morning till midnight Saturday. And that feeling will likely last for a few more days.

With the Bruins up 3 games to one 1 entering Game 5 Saturday night, the first buzz was the status of Patrice Bergeron.

“We will make that decision after warm-up,” Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy said after practice, “but it is looking good.”

So was the chance that Boston would close out the series when Cassidy affirmed a few hours later that Bergeron would start.

Later Saturday afternoon, the Lightning punched their ticket to Round 2 with a 3-1 win over New Jersey to end that series.
