Bruins' Embarrassing Loss in Seattle Raises Serious Questions | Snap Shot 70

0:00 Speaker 1: They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Now I know that's not really the definition. It's obviously watching the Bruins play a dominant game only to trip and fall into the penalty box and totally blow a winnable game nearly every night at this point. This is the team, So can we or should we expect any other result. This is a Bruins tape to tape snapshot.

0:34 Speaker 2: The Boston Bruins continue to play undisciplined hockey at the worst possible times, and it will be their demise if they have any hope of making a push for a playoff spot, even in the wild card standings. On Tuesday night, the Bruins lost to the Seattle Kraken seven to two, and the unraveling occurred, this time with less than two two minutes left in the second period, with the score tied two to two thanks to two beautiful goals from David Postronach, Mason Lorii gets out muscled once again and then proceeds to screen Jeremy Swayman, and Cartier puts one by Swaymen to make it three to two, and then it gets really good, Alex Steves is called for slashing and the Bees give up a power play goal to make it four to two.

1:31 Speaker 2: And wait for it, folks, this all happened with less than two minutes remaining in the second period. The Kraken pulled ahead in the third period with an even strength goal by Capocco, and Berkeley Caton added a power play goal to make the score six to two. The Boston Bruins gave up three power play goals on four opportunities. Marco Sturm to get his head out of his ass and get these penalties under control. I don't know what he needs to do to get it through the thick skulls that they are costing themselves game after game after game as a result of this undisciplined and unnecessary play stick in fractions, hooking, slashing, tripping.

2:28 Speaker 2: It's inexcusable at this point in time, we keep talking about this over and over again. And let me just also add the goaltending has not been what we've expected it to be during this The starting, I would say, in the month of November. And here is a fun fact from our friend Ty Anderson of ninety eight point five the Sports Hub and also host of the AT and T Hockey Show, Jeremy's Swayman, when making his fourth appearance in seven days this season, has an zero two and one record with sixteen goals allowed on seventy eight shots for a zero point seventy nine to five save percentage.

3:17 Speaker 2: That stinks. In addition to that, you have Jonis Corposalo sitting there for extended periods of time with no gameplay. Now, I don't know who's making these decisions, but it seems to me that Goalie Bob should have an awareness and an understanding of who's ready to go and when that goalie is ready to go. And if he's being overruled by Marco Sturm, then that's a bigger problem. Because the game against Seattle marks at least the fourth or fifth time this season where Jeremy Swayman has given up five, six or seven goals.

4:02 Speaker 2: That simply is not a winning formula from your eight million dollar franchise.

4:09 Speaker 1: Goalie Boston is home for a bit and they host the Calgary Flames on Thursday night. Since the Bees overtime loss last week, Calgary has won one and lost three With Corpi in the net. The Bruins are the slight favorites to win tonight. Dustin Wolfe was in on Wednesday night in Montreal, so the Bruins will face Devan Cooley, a netminder who has gone four to four and two this season, but he boasts a stingy two point four to zero goals against average and nine to fourteen save percentage. Naturally, I expect him to have the best game of his life in Boston to make matters worse for the Bruins.

4:48 Speaker 1: They've been surpassed by the Maple Leafs and the standings in spite of having two more wins stupid loser points. At this rate, Boston is looking at a projected final points it's total of only eighty eight. That's gross.
