Until they improve their record at TD Garden, the Bruins will continue to use repetitive buzzwords like “we want to be tough to play against in front of our home crowd” or “we want to give our fans something to cheer for.”
Don’t believe me? Well, the old cliches were thrown around again in the Bruins locker room following their third straight loss – that included ‘L’s’ to the Ducks, Maple Leafs and lowly Avalanche – on Causeway Street on Thursday night.
“Yeah, certainly that’s our goal and our fans deserve a more solid game and to have plenty to cheer for and leave here happy with a good win that the Bruins put on the ice, and that’s on us to get our game in order,” David Backes said on Thursday after the B’s blew a two-goal first period lead in their 4-3 loss to the Ducks.
