Bruins Exposed: Four Straight Losses Reveal Serious Lack of Offense
Locked On Bruins - Daily Podcast On The Boston BruinsAbout this episode
The Locked On Boston Bruins podcast breaks down Boston’s four-game losing streak and the deeper issues fueling it. Host Ian McLaren examines why the Bruins can’t seem to finish — from their lack of 5-on-5 scoring and weak shot generation to head coach Marco Sturm’s tough-love tactics , including benching David Pastrnak and scratching Casey Mittelstadt . McLaren analyzes how Pastrnak responded with a two-goal effort in Utah, what the numbers reveal about the team’s offensive collapse, and whether this slide signals a repeat of last season’s struggles. Plus, an emotional look ahead to Boston’s upcoming matchup with Brad Marchand and the Florida Panthers , potential call-ups from Providence who could inject energy into the lineup, and Dean Letourneau earning Bruin of the Day honors for his breakout at Boston College.
