Following their game against the Colorado Avalanche, Bruins new head coach ended up directly calling out three players as he was not happy.
Recently, the Bruins have been struggling, goals haven't been a problem as they scored three against the Lightning in a 4-3 loss, and then 5 against the Golden Knights in a 6-5 loss, but yesterday it was a different story.
The Bruins struggled offensively, only scoring 1 goal, and were also limited to just 14 shots in total during the game.
It's become evident that even though Don Sweeney made a bunch of depth signings this off-season, he should have focused on trying to bring in a top-six player.
Boston has three clear top players on their team, and following the game, Marco Sturm ended up calling all three of them out.
Sturm calls out his best players
Recently, the Bruins top players have not been playing up to their standard like they were in the first four games, and because of that, the Bruins have lost three straight games.
Sturm realized this is a big problem, and called them out during an interview following the game yesterday.
Marco Sturm stated that he needs his best players to be his best players, but instead, his grinders have been his best players.
These comments were directed towards three players, Pavel Zacha, Elias Lindholm, and David Pastrnak.
#NHLBruins Sturm on NESN, "My grinders were the best players of the game. If you grinders are the best players and not my best players, then you're going to be in trouble...It's almost the same story again. We need everyone important, and that's the problem."
If the Bruins continue to play like this, they definitely will not make it back to the playoffs this year.
