Let’s be clear, the Boston Bruins are not the New York Islanders here. The B’s are still currently in second in the Atlantic Division. They have taken three out of four points in their most recent road trip. While the B’s aren’t a moving dumpster fire, they’re capable of playing a lot better than they are playing right now.
The Bruins find themselves in all too familiar territory this season. Play a strong game against a decent team, then fall apart against a weaker one. The Bruins are still playing Jekyll-and-Hyde hockey. Last season, Brad Marchand called out teammates for being passengers, and the same thing needs to happen again.
