A few days after harping on some of the silver linings drawn out of a regulation loss to the Oilers, Marco Sturm wasn’t following the same script after Boston secured at least a point in the standings against the Canucks.
“Those little individual mistakes, I would say, just cost us another point here,” Sturm said on NESN. “First period was really good, but again, some guys — [it was] probably one of their worst games of the year. And yeah, unfortunately, just cost us a point.”
Earning at least a point won’t assuage the frustrations felt by the Bruins after a 5-4 shootout loss to the Canucks — a game where Boston largely controlled play and held a 42-22 edge in shots on goal and coughed up a one-goal lead in the third period of play.
