It's becoming a common theme in Boston this year with the team being either booed off of the ice, or fans starting a "Fire Sweeney" chant. Recently the Boston Bruins were booed off the ice once again, and fans are not happy with Elias Lindholm's post game comments.
Sweeney has built a mediocre team for the Bruins, and made some controversial signing's and moves this year, and the Bruins are going to miss the playoffs because of this.
Saturday night, the Boston Bruins were completely embarrassed on their own ice by the Tampa Bay Lightning.
For the second time this season the Bruins were held through a whole period without getting a shot on net. During the second period of the game, the Bruins were outshot 21-0 and outscored 3-0.
The other time this has happened this year was back in November when the Bruins faced off against the Ottawa Senators, and they went the entire third period without registering a shot on goal.
Lindholm Upsets Fans With Post Game Comments
Elias Lindholm was the big signing the Boston Bruins made in the off-season, but hasn't lived up to any of the hype. Although he did have a goal and an assist in the 6-2 loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning, after the game he dropped a quote that seems to be becoming a common theme from the Bruins locker room following games like the Tampa one.
"It was embarrassing,'' said Lindholm. "The compete level was nowhere to be found. Unacceptable. The fans pay a lot of money to come here and watch us play. They have every right to boo when the effort was like that. The second period was the worst I've seen us play this year."
It feels like this line has been used multiple times, by multiple different players in the locker room following an embarrassing loss, but change never happens, and fans are getting fed up with it.
