Even with the Bruins entering the week buoyed by back-to-back shutout wins against Philadelphia and Seattle, Jim Montgomery pushed back against an assertion on Monday that Boston had fully righted the ship from an early-season malaise.
“I’m not there yet with that,” Montgomery noted. “Just being honest. There’s too many lapses in our game right now where we’re not a 60-minute team and we just need to continue to build it. We’re better, but we’re not where we need to be.”
Sure enough, the positive gains made over the weekend were negated on Tuesday for the Bruins, with many of the flaws present in October rearing their collective heads in a 4-0 loss to the Maple Leafs.
