In the Boston Bruins morning skate on Monday, the players were seen doing an intense skating drill, seen as a consequence for their devastating 3-2 loss to the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday.
The standards are very clearly high in Boston, as the team is practically already in the playoffs yet they are suffering from consequences of a one goal loss.
The Boston Bruins are currently one point off of the top of the league in a hefty race, with seven teams fighting for the number one spot. The Boston Bruins are 7th in the NHL with 97 points, while the number one Vancouver Canucks have 98 points. Safe to say it is very tight out there!
Not the first time head coach Jim Montgomery makes his players work extremely hard in practice, a few weeks ago he did the same. Jim Montgomery berates his players at practice
It was an even contest between the Flyers and Bruins until Foerster scores to outlap the bruins
The Bruins showed up flat and therefore will be dealing with the consequences.
There next two games won't be easy as they face off against the Florida Panthers and the Tampa Bay Lightning.
