Well that didn’t go very well, eh?
In my preview of Game 5, I politely suggested that the Bruins:
- Avoid falling behind.
- If they do go down, limit the damage.
- Stay out of the penalty box.
0 for 3 on the night!
While calling it a true stinker might be harsh, the Bruins had a big opportunity to grab this series by the scruff of the neck last night, and instead fell flat on their faces.
Even the pre-game return of Charlie McAvoy, whisked to Raleigh via private jet, had little impact, though it made for some cool stories.
