One of the big storylines following the Boston Bruins 2021 season continues to be the fall off of forward Jake�DeBrusk.�

After showing potential, the young forward seemed to disappear this season and tension seemed to grow between head coach Bruce Cassidy and the forward.�

We recently heard Cassidy comment on the situation.�

"My conversations with Jake, I think, would have been too raw the day after," Cassidy said. "The players had some time to themselves. So we're going to sit down this week, now that we've both digested a little bit of the season, and say, �OK, let's find some common ground on where you see yourself fitting into this lineup and where I feel you need to be better.' And see if we can sort through some of the stuff now that the season's over. Sometimes in season, players are just going to tell you what you want to hear at times. So it will be up to me to dig a little deeper with him so we can get to the root of, �OK, what's going to make you the best player?'"

Now DeBrusk has spoken up and says there's been a lot of "negative" hovering over the situation.�

"It just felt like there's a lot," DeBrusk said of the negativity he experienced on all sides. "It's one of those things where you could just feel it. Not really pointing out anyone. But the one thing I did learn is you obviously play for your teammates and the people in this room. That's all I really look for now, is doing for it for the guy beside you."

What do you think of DeBrusk's comments?
