What we learned: Bruins bring the heat but lack in execution
On Saturday night, the Bruins played well enough to earn two points. But, again, the notable voids prevented them from getting at least one.
The opportunistic Red Wings took advantage of open slot areas and “tipped” their way to a 4-2 victory at TD Garden. Bruce Cassidy’s injury-plagued squad had spurts of quality, scoring chances, and spirited physical engagement, but came away with nothing to show for their gritty effort. Here is what we learned.
The Bruins brought the emotional fire but lacked in execution
“There was fire in our group,” Cassidy said postgame. “I don’t think we had a lot of fire around their net tonight.”
They didn’t — even though they outshot the Red Wings, 40-27.
