Bruins' Embarrassing Loss in Seattle Raises Serious Questions | Snap Shot 70
Liner notes
🎙️The Bruins once again snatched defeat from the jaws of a dominant performance, unraveling a winnable game with the same undisciplined habits that have plagued them all season. Despite two highlight-reel goals from David Pastrňák to keep things level, Boston completely collapsed late in the second period against Seattle, taking needless penalties and surrendering three power-play goals on four chances in a brutal 7–2 loss.With less than two minutes left in the period, the game flipped and the Bruins never recovered. Overuse of Jeremy Swayman, inconsistent goaltending results, and questionable deployment decisions have compounded Boston’s mistakes at the worst possible time. With the Bruins slipping in the standings, staring down a sub-90 point pace, and losing their footing in the standings thanks to other teams' “loser points”, the margin for error is gone, and so is the patience.

Speaker 1: They say the definition of insanity is doing the same
Speaker 1: thing over and over again and expecting a different result.
Speaker 1: Now I know that's not really the definition. It's obviously
Speaker 1: watching the Bruins play a dominant game only to trip
Speaker 1: and fall into the penalty box and totally blow a
Speaker 1: winnable game nearly every night at this point. This is
Speaker 1: the team, So can we or should we expect any
Speaker 1: other result. This is a Bruins tape to tape snapshot.
Speaker 2: The Boston Bruins continue to play undisciplined hockey at the
Speaker 2: worst possible times, and it will be their demise if
Speaker 2: they have any hope of making a push for a
Speaker 2: playoff spot, even in the wild card standings. On Tuesday night,
Speaker 2: the Bruins lost to the Seattle Kraken seven to two,
Speaker 2: and the unraveling occurred, this time with less than two
Speaker 2: two minutes left in the second period, with the score
Speaker 2: tied two to two thanks to two beautiful goals from
Speaker 2: David Postronach, Mason Lorii gets out muscled once again and
Speaker 2: then proceeds to screen Jeremy Swayman, and Cartier puts one
Speaker 2: by Swaymen to make it three to two, and then
Speaker 2: it gets really good, Alex Steves is called for slashing
Speaker 2: and the Bees give up a power play goal to
Speaker 2: make it four to two. And wait for it, folks,
Speaker 2: this all happened with less than two minutes remaining in
Speaker 2: the second period. The Kraken pulled ahead in the third
Speaker 2: period with an even strength goal by Capocco, and Berkeley
Speaker 2: Caton added a power play goal to make the score
Speaker 2: six to two. The Boston Bruins gave up three power
Speaker 2: play goals on four opportunities. Marco Sturm to get his
Speaker 2: head out of his ass and get these penalties under control.
Speaker 2: I don't know what he needs to do to get
Speaker 2: it through the thick skulls that they are costing themselves
Speaker 2: game after game after game as a result of this
Speaker 2: undisciplined and unnecessary play stick in fractions, hooking, slashing, tripping.
Speaker 2: It's inexcusable at this point in time, we keep talking
Speaker 2: about this over and over again. And let me just
Speaker 2: also add the goaltending has not been what we've expected
Speaker 2: it to be during this The starting, I would say,
Speaker 2: in the month of November. And here is a fun
Speaker 2: fact from our friend Ty Anderson of ninety eight point
Speaker 2: five the Sports Hub and also host of the AT
Speaker 2: and T Hockey Show, Jeremy's Swayman, when making his fourth
Speaker 2: appearance in seven days this season, has an zero two
Speaker 2: and one record with sixteen goals allowed on seventy eight
Speaker 2: shots for a zero point seventy nine to five save percentage.
Speaker 2: That stinks. In addition to that, you have Jonis Corposalo
Speaker 2: sitting there for extended periods of time with no gameplay. Now,
Speaker 2: I don't know who's making these decisions, but it seems
Speaker 2: to me that Goalie Bob should have an awareness and
Speaker 2: an understanding of who's ready to go and when that
Speaker 2: goalie is ready to go. And if he's being overruled
Speaker 2: by Marco Sturm, then that's a bigger problem. Because the
Speaker 2: game against Seattle marks at least the fourth or fifth
Speaker 2: time this season where Jeremy Swayman has given up five,
Speaker 2: six or seven goals. That simply is not a winning
Speaker 2: formula from your eight million dollar franchise.
Speaker 1: Goalie Boston is home for a bit and they host
Speaker 1: the Calgary Flames on Thursday night. Since the Bees overtime
Speaker 1: loss last week, Calgary has won one and lost three
Speaker 1: With Corpi in the net. The Bruins are the slight
Speaker 1: favorites to win tonight. Dustin Wolfe was in on Wednesday
Speaker 1: night in Montreal, so the Bruins will face Devan Cooley,
Speaker 1: a netminder who has gone four to four and two
Speaker 1: this season, but he boasts a stingy two point four
Speaker 1: to zero goals against average and nine to fourteen save percentage. Naturally,
Speaker 1: I expect him to have the best game of his
Speaker 1: life in Boston to make matters worse for the Bruins.
Speaker 1: They've been surpassed by the Maple Leafs and the standings
Speaker 1: in spite of having two more wins stupid loser points.
Speaker 1: At this rate, Boston is looking at a projected final
Speaker 1: points it's total of only eighty eight. That's gross. Make
