|
BOSTON — The Bruins’ winning streak had to come to an end at some point, but they probably wish it could have happened a different way and against a different opponent.
The B’s saw their 12-game win streak snapped Monday night as they dropped a 2-1 shootout decision to the Montreal Canadiens. It marks the Bruins’ first loss of any kind since losing to the Washington Capitals on March 1. Of course, the Bruins’ point streak is extended to 13 games by way of the extra point gained for the shootout loss.
That extra point will be little solace to the Bruins, although the B’s were probably ripe for the picking. Teams generally struggle in their first game after a road trip, which is what Monday marked for the Bruins after they returned from a three-game road trip. Boston was not immune to that in what was a sloppy first period that saw them trailing 1-0 after 20 minutes.
“We were just a little bit off the mark there,” Bruins coach Claude Julien said. “Typical, I guess, start from a team that comes back from a road trip and plays its first game at home. Took us a while to get going.”
The Bruins didn’t really help themselves, at least not for the first two periods. The Canadiens, as they’ve been known to do, did a masterful job of getting under the Bruins’ skin. The result was six power plays through the first two periods, one of which led to an Alexei Emelin power-play goal in the first period. The lack of discipline didn’t hurt the Bruins too badly, but it didn’t help, either.
“It’s an emotional game any time we play them,” Bruins forward Brad Marchand said. “They know that and they poke at us a bit and try to get us to take penalties and push them back and it worked a little bit tonight. So we have to make sure that we have a little more discipline next time.”
The roles were reversed some in the third period, though. The Canadiens gave the Bruins four power plays, but it wasn’t until the final man-advantage that Boston actually broke through. Patrice Bergeron tipped home a Dougie Hamilton shot from the point that would ultimately send the game to the overtime and shootout.
Once again,[url=http://discountshoeswhosale.com/rss_feed.html?cPath=76&feed=products/]LIMITED EDITION SHOES[/url], however, the extra time?would become another point of frustration. The Bruins had chances in the overtime period, but they just couldn’t capitalize. Then in the shootout,[url=http://shopfashionclothing.co.uk/hermes-bags-hermes-bolide-c-143_146.html]Hermes Bolide[/url], Montreal goalie Peter Budaj stood tall and ensured the Canadiens would leave Boston with the extra point. Alex Galchenyuk scored the shootout’s lone goal,[url=http://cheapdesignerfashionbags.com/prada-womens-tote-bags-buckle-leather-logo-embossed-8503_products36484/]Prada Womens Tote Bags Buckle Leather Logo embossed 8503[/url], which sent the Montreal bench into jubilation. The Bruins, meanwhile, were left with a disappointing?outcome.
But on a night that felt like the playoffs, Julien and the Bruins are still able to keep everything in perspective.
“We managed to get that point, and I guess, you know, if we have a weakness,[url=http://clothingol.co.uk/versace-bags_categories212/]Versace Bags[/url], it’s pretty obvious ?– it’s in the shootout,” Julien said. “We don’t do well. So I don’t care about that because that doesn’t happen in playoffs.” |
