What was supposed to be a promising home stand for the Boston Bruins, with five games before the Holiday break and then a five-game road trip following that, was a complete disaster for Marco Sturm and his team.
When the dust settled, the Black and Gold went 1-3-1 with some really head-scratching decisions from Sturm, to say the least. By the time the final horn sounded on Tuesday night after a 6-2 loss to the Montreal Canadiens, the Bruins looked like a team that could use the three-day break. However, you can't deny the home stand was a complete disaster, and Alex Steeves summed it up perfectly.
