The Boston Bruins’ have ended a three-game road trip on a low note despite starting it with some serious potential. The B’s went down against the Dallas Stars in a futile, listless -1-6 loss at American Airlines Arena on Sunday night.
Meanwhile, former Chicago Blackhawks player and Bruins current head coach Bruce Cassidy almost lost his cool at the end of the game. He reckoned that their side got to execute at an NHL level, especially against good teams.
“We’ve just got to be harder back there. It starts on your back end, winning your battles, getting the puck out of your zone. In this case, it was farther up the ice. You’ve got to execute at an NHL level, especially against good teams. They’re really pushing it,” said Boston Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy. “We didn’t do enough of that tonight. On the offensive side of it, we didn’t do it either…put those two things together against a good hockey club that defends well, it was going to be an uphill battle and we just didn’t figure it out.”
“We didn’t do enough in front of him”
The Boston team looked completely out of colour in their last game besides their only goal off Craig Smith. The Ottawa native Cassidy also went on to acknowledge their poor performance against the Stars and mentioned that they’re going back with some work.
“We didn’t do enough in front of him,” said Cassidy. “It was a little more of we’ll get him out there, he’s done some good work for us. We weren’t playing great, get Swayman some work back at the NHL level. I think most of the goals, you can’t put on the goaltending. I don’t think goaltending was the problem tonight at all. Just too many opportunities for them,” he added.
