Something seemingly had to give following Tuesday night’s uncompetitive showing at TD Garden.
As the Bruins skated towards a fifth straight loss at the hands of the Oilers, a chorus of boos and calls for the firing of Don Sweeney rained down onto a Boston roster reeling since the holiday break.
Postgame, Boston’s beleaguered skaters had few answers for the team’s plummeting play as of late.
And based on Wednesday’s practice at Warrior Ice Arena, that answer is going to have to come from within on an underachieving depth chart.
