BRUINS’ SEASON CONTINUES TO SPIRAL OUT OF CONTROL AS LOSING STREAK HITS 8 GAMES
The Boston Bruins’ 2024-25 season has turned into a complete disaster, with the team’s losing streak reaching 8 games after a recent loss to the Montreal Canadiens. This marks the first time since 1997 that the Bruins have been in last place in the Eastern Conference this late in the season.
With a dismal 30-37-9 record, the Bruins have been plummeting down the standings, with their sole standings point in their last 10 games coming from an overtime loss to the Buffalo Sabres. To make matters worse, the Sabres were the East’s worst team for most of the season.
The Bruins’ downfall can be attributed to a combination of factors, including the trade of their captain, Brad Marchand, to the Florida Panthers at the trade deadline. Since the start of February, the Bruins have a abysmal 5-15-3 record, which is even worse than the San Jose Sharks, the worst team in the NHL this season.
Just two seasons ago, the Bruins had a historic campaign, notching the most wins in a single season in NHL history. However, with a completely different roster, the Bruins are now setting up for a historically bad finish. The team’s recent performance has been nothing short of embarrassing, with fans and analysts alike wondering what has gone wrong.
“We’re clearly not playing up to our potential, and it’s frustrating for everyone involved,” said Bruins coach Jim Montgomery. “We need to find a way to turn things around and start winning some games.”
The Bruins will have a chance to snap their losing streak when they take on the Ottawa Senators on Saturday. However, with the way things have been going, it’s hard to predict a positive outcome.
WHAT’S NEXT:
– The Bruins will take on the Ottawa Senators on Saturday in a desperate bid to snap their losing streak.
– The team will then embark on a three-game road trip, facing off against the Toronto Maple Leafs, Montreal Canadiens, and Buffalo Sabres.
– With just a few weeks left in the season, the Bruins will be looking to salvage what’s left of their disastrous campaign.
