The Bruins became the third Boston team to respond to the death of George Floyd, posting a statement on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram Tuesday morning:
“Black lives matter. Bigotry, ignorance and senseless violence in any and all forms is wrong.
We are a hockey club, and sometimes it is hard to know when, where and how to comment on issues that challenge the freedom and well-being of our community. We want to be honest and we want to be accountable and we want to be leaders.
The abhorrent murder of George Floyd and similar events cannot be tolerated.
