Maybe the 2024-25 Bruins are just … bad?

COMMENTARY

A Bruins season inundated with disappointment and dismay found its fitting encapsulation on Monday night at TD Garden.

After whiffing on a shot at the offensive blue line, Brandon Carlo skated back in vain to try to derail a breakaway bid for the Columbus Blue Jackets. Jeremy Swayman turned aside Dmitri Voronkov’s backhand bid … only for the 6-foot-5 Carlo to collide with his goalie in the crease — knocking the biscuit into the net for a 1-0 Columbus lead.
