BRUINS GDT GAME 21 7:08 PM - THE BEAR visits the Columbus Zoo and a historical landmark - NESN, ESPN+, 98.5 WBZ-FM

I don't know why this team is in a funk but they are definitely in a funk. They looked awful. Slow, tired, maybe even lazy. Poor passing, poor shooting, they let those Blue Jackoffs get an easy win. I guess I'm kind of regular season spoiled but it seems like a long time since we've had a bad slump like this.

Reading things into people's faces is hard but right from the start Marchand looked sad/angry/frustrated. Team's lost it's mojo and idk what the solution is. There's nobody to call up really,

Well there is Ghost Busters, but I doubt they'd be much help.

Its odd to me that no one is pointing at the obvious.

They are clearly having issues with focus and getting up for the games.

I wonder if there is anything off the ice happening that could be distracting for them...

Like this obviously isn't just regressing to the mean, they have played awful during this stretch.

That's why I'm concerned about the Coach and some head scratching decisions...especially tonight

There's something wrong in Denmark ....'er I mean Boston, and it may have spread into the locker room

Maybe a flu bug is the problem for low energy

The Lucic thing. Has to had have an effect

Missing Bergeron’s leadership. I think that has to be said.

Playing above their heads to start now playing well below what they can do

Did the Bruins only have 12 hits all game?

10 more than I saw

Losing 3 is not a big deal . It's how they are losing .

Bingo!!

I think a lot of people have thought this but that subject for now seems to be off limits for discussion.

Except for a few games, the way they are losing is not so different than the way they were winning . Biggest difference in my opinion is that our goalies look mortal now, sadly.

I think this stretch of badness started when some fan here posted that the BRUINS only had to play .500 hockey the rest of the way to make the PO's.

I think the Lucic thing is definitely messing with their heads bit and teams know no one will play physical on the b’s.
