Three reasons Bruins are optimistic after blowing Game 1: 'Still feel really good'

BUFFALO, N.Y. — The Boston Bruins did not practice on Monday. Marco Sturm did not believe they needed on-ice repetitions. The Bruins coach was pleased with how his team played for more than 80 percent of Game 1.“As long as we’re going to stick with the game plan we have and how we’re supposed to play, I do like our chances. Our chances were pretty damn good after 50 minutes,” Sturm said on Monday, the day after his team handed away a two-goal third-period lead. “There’s a lot of good things that happened. Unfortunately, it didn’t happen. But we still feel really good.”Advertisement
