The Boston Bruins have yet again fallen short following last night's game, March 22, after falling to a 3-1 against San Jose Sharks, however, the final score has become controversial due to an unreasonable goal against the team and the organizations head coach, Joe Sacco, has revealed why he decided to not challenge the goal.
The Bruins fell to a 0-2-0 to begin their five-game road trip, yet there is speculation that the opposing team's game-winning goal concluded in the player entering the offensive zone offside, which should have negated the goal.
Following the goal, interim head coach, Joe Sacco used the Bruins' one time out, and assistant coach, Chris Kelly, reviewed the play which concluded in the team deciding not to challenge the call on the ice.
Joe Sacco reveals Why He Didn't Challenge The Goal
«From our perspective, the player that was carrying the puck, he did not have possession,» Sacco told Andy Brickley. «He let go of it before he entered the blue line. Therefore, that other player had the ability to tag up before he got possession again with it.»
He continued;
«Just unable to capitalize on some of our scoring opportunities that we had, especially in the third period,» Sacco said. «We got enough off the forecheck, I thought. I didn't think that we did enough to get on the inside, and that's a product of us not just taking the goaltender's eyes away. Maybe a better job of getting on the inside, creating some more net-front traffic, but just unable to capitalize.»
It is uncertain as to why Joe Saco called a time-out yet let the goal slide as the player evidently continued to have possession, which has ultimately concluded in many fans furious of the decision made by the organization's coaches.
This Bruins roster will surely have a new outline come next season, as it now falls on GM Don Sweeney to make the right changes, and one of those could finding a new head coach.
After Sacco took over, the Boston Bruins showed some life before coming back down to earth, but recently Sacco has not showed he could be the head coach for the Bruins in the future, and Don Sweeney may look for a different one in the off-season.
