It was inevitable that the Boston Bruins would hit a rough patch this season, and it came last week.
The Bruins stumbled three of their four games last week, a slate that started against a struggling Montreal Canadiens team that got up for a game against its biggest rival, continued in Florida against the Tampa Bay Lightning and Florida Panthers, and ended in Carolina against the Hurricanes.
Even though the Bruins went 1-2-1, there were still a couple of (slightly) bright spots.
Before the player of the week gets his due, we need to discuss why a few players didn’t get it.
