The Bruins have been in all probability already nicely conscious, but when they weren’t it turned abundantly clear that groups aren’t going to simply roll over as a result of “Boston” is written on their schedule.
It was particularly clear Saturday night time.
Boston dropped its first regulation recreation of the season Saturday, falling to the Detroit Crimson Wings at Little Caesars Area regardless of holding a lead getting into the third interval. It was a stark departure from the way in which earlier video games have gone for the Bruins, which highlighted a degree B’s head coach Jim Montgomery has repeatedly made to his crew over the previous two seasons.
“I assumed Detroit was actually good on the facility play,” Montgomery stated, as seen on NESN. “They have been zipping the puck, they have been one-touching it. … This league will get higher each ten video games, and we’re in the beginning of the second section. The depth was considerably up from what we noticed beforehand.”

Listed below are extra notes from Saturday night time’s matchup between the Bruins and Crimson Wings:
— Boston blew a pair of leads within the second and third intervals. It’s the primary time this season they’ve blown two leads in a single recreation.
— Brandon Carlo has been particularly very good since Matt Grzelcyk, Derek Forbort and Charlie McAvoy departed the lineup, however that’s nothing new in relation to the remainder of the season.
There’s a case to be made that he’s the Bruins’ MVP.
