Marco Sturm has a blunt answer for Bruins start against Lightning in frustrating loss

Before the Boston Bruins took the ice at the TD Garden on Monday to play the Tampa Bay Lightning, the writing was on the wall as a warning for the Black and Gold. The Lightning were 0-2-0 after losing their first two games of the year at home to the Ottawa Senators and New Jersey Devils.

The Bruins were a perfect 3-0-0 on the season, but Monday's game wasn't going to be easy. Why? Well, it was hard to envision a Jon Cooper Lightning team dropping a third straight to begin the season. If they did, they would be eight points behind Boston.
