Boston — When the Hurricanes scored the game-winning goal late in the game, Bruins coach Jim Montgomery appeared furious on the bench. By the time he arrived at the press conference following the game, he was still irate.
After his team’s five-game winning streak was ended by a 3-2 loss, he commented, “The game management at the end of the game was not good.”
Defensemen Brandon Carlo and Hampus Lindholm were playing too far up on offense in a tie game, which irritated Montgomery and allowed Jordan Martinook to get behind them for the breakaway that he converted for the game-winning goal.
“Pinching there by the defensemen is not appropriate. The score is 2-2. A shot is on the net. Montgomery stated, “We have to make sure we keep people in front of us.” “The game management bothers me. To tie the game at two, you have to feel like you played a tremendous game. Nothing needs to be forced on us. Points have value. It’s a valuable lesson as the playoffs approach. Yes, we are gaining momentum. The Garden is lively and the crowd is into it. However, we cannot give up a breakaway and forfeit our position.
The Bruins should take note of this, according to Brad Marchand, who scored both of the team’s goals to force a two-goal deficit into a two-all draw.
“It felt like a playoff game,” he remarked. “At this time of year, those are excellent for us to go through and learn what we need to do to compete against teams like that.” Despite their record, that team is superior. For us, it’s a wonderful experience. There are undoubtedly some things we should learn and remember. I hope you feel better tomorrow.
Charlie Coyle concurred.
He remarked, “That’s something we as a team have to learn from.” “The conditions of the game’s time. You must learn from that.
