The Boston Bruins were left with a bitter taste in their mouths after a tough loss, but with a week-long break before their next game, they’re focusing on a simple mindset: get back to work. The Bruins don’t play again until February 22, giving them ample time to regroup and refocus.
“We’ve got a good chunk of time here to recharge, refocus, and get back to work,” Bruins coach Jim Montgomery said. “We’ve got to get back to playing the way we’re capable of playing.” The Bruins have been inconsistent of late, and the loss was a stark reminder of the work they still need to do to reach their goals.
Despite the setback, the Bruins are choosing to focus on the positives. They’ve had a strong season to date, and they’re still in a good position in the standings. “We’ve got to take the good with the bad and move forward,” Bruins forward Brad Marchand said. “We can’t dwell on one game. We’ve got to focus on the next one and make sure we’re ready to go.”
The break comes at a good time for the Bruins, who have been dealing with a number of injuries. The extra time off will give players like Marchand and defenseman Charlie McAvoy a chance to heal and get back to full strength. “It’s a good opportunity for us to get some guys healthy and come back refreshed,” Montgomery said.
When the Bruins do return to action on February 22, they’ll be facing a tough opponent in the Calgary Flames. The Flames are a strong team with a lot of firepower, and the Bruins will need to be at their best to come out on top. “We’ve got to be ready to go,” Marchand said. “We’ve got to come out strong and play a full 60 minutes. If we do that, we’ll give ourselves a good chance to win.”
