5. Not showing up

When the Bruins put in a 100 percent effort they usually end up winning games. In the NHL when you give any less it is hard to walk out of the arena with a victory.

I don’t know what it is about the Bruins, but some nights it seems like they forgot they had a game. They play sloppy, skate poorly, and struggle to keep the puck out of the net.

This happened in the Bruins most recent game. They got outplayed by a last-place New Jersey Devils squad that was without Taylor Hall on Thursday night. this can’t be happening.

Every single night the Bruins need to be driving opposing players through the boards and peppering the goaltender with shots.

This Boston Bruins team has the talent to be successful. If they are able to fix these issues it will be a fun year for fans. Who knows maybe we will have another championship parade?
