COMMENTARY
Jim Montgomery could only shrug his shoulders on Thursday after yet another lopsided loss for the Bruins.
“It’s been frustrating all year that we haven’t been able to string like, three to four consistent games where we feel like our habits and details are consistently there,” Montgomery acknowledged after Boston left the ice in Dallas after a 7-2 defeat.
Much like his team’s repeated flaws amid an underwhelming 8-8-2 start, Montgomery’s postgame musings have repeated themselves into the same predictable script: Short on answers, and plenty of bewilderment over how a seemingly stout Bruins roster could erode across so many areas in record time.
