Boston Bruins Goalie Calls Out The Bruins Following Embarrassing Loss
Friday night dealt a harsh blow to the Boston Bruins as their offense faltered, resulting in a punishing 5-1 defeat by the Winnipeg Jets. Any hopes of victory faded fast as the Jets effortlessly netted four consecutive goals, leaving the Bruins struggling to break through.
Goalie Connor Hellebuyck faced minimal pressure, stopping a mere 13 shots by the second period's end. The Jets' determined effort on both ends of the ice extinguished any chance of a Bruins comeback.
Head coach Jim Montgomery voiced his disappointment, emphasizing the team's lackluster compete level and shortcomings in 1-on-1 battles.
"We gotta come and we gotta play Bruins hockey. We gotta play to our identity,"
Montgomery remarked.
In a tough spot, Bruins goalie Jeremy Swayman faced an onslaught. Despite his commendable 28 saves, the relentless Jets managed to score five goals, tying a season-high against the 25-year-old netminder.
Postgame, Swayman addressed the alarming trend of late-game goals.
"To have this trend that's happening now that we're getting scored on in the last minute is unacceptable,"
Swayman stressed.
Swayman emphasized the need for the team to collectively address and rectify the issue. The disappointing outcome prompts a crucial reflection on the Bruins' performance and identity as they grapple with the challenges ahead.
