The bad news: the Bruins lost again.
The good news: at least they got a point this time?
The B’s dropped their sixth game in a row last night, losing to Calgary 2-1 in overtime.
Connor Zary scored a PPG two minutes into OT to give Calgary the win, a goal that was some sort of bouncy, pinball-type goal that looked like it went off of Hampus Lindholm before going through Jeremy Swayman.
Andrew Peeke, ramping up his Rocket Richard campaign, scored the lone goal for the Bruins midway through the first period,
and that was that.
In case you chose to go to sleep instead of tuning into this game, let’s see what some of our fearless commenters had to say about the contest:
- “A point from that garbage fire is like finding an unopened wendys burger that two squirrels are fighting over.”
- “Just awful.”
- “Uninspiring hockey from both teams.”
- “I’d rather get a root canal than continue to watch this slog fest.”
- “Horrid.”
- “Take all transmissions of this game out into an oil field and bury it.”
- “This has overall been one of the worst played, least entertaining games I’ve seen in a long time.”
If I were more creative, it would be fun to create a movie trailer with some of these reviews cut in with highlights (lowlights?) of the game, but those creative days are behind me.
However, you get the point: this was a bad game played by teams that are playing bad hockey at the moment, with the Bruins somehow slightly worse.
Good times around here as 2025 rolls to a close.
The B’s will be off today before a New Year’s Eve nightcap against the Oilers in Edmonton.
If you’d like to look to the future, things may not be as bleak: James Hagens and Will Zellers had standout games for the United States in their WJC win over Slovakia, with Hagens scoring twice and Zellers adding a goal (the eventual game-winner) and an assist.
So…not all bad. Chin up! The season is just about half over.
What’s on tap for today?
