Avalanche 4, Bruins 1

 

Third consecutive loss - sure, tough schedule, I get it (Colorado's 5-0-1 for a reason), but is it time to start worrying about this year's team? 

The Bruins' John Beecher got the first goal of the game some three minutes into play, but that was it for Boston on the night. They were shut out for the next 57 minutes. Swayman, for his part, made 34 saves on 37 shots for a .919 average.

We lost to Tampa Bay on home ice, and then to Vegas and Colorado on the road. Tonight, we have Utah (3-2-0) and then back home to face our kryptonite, the Florida Panthers (3-4-0). To top it all off, we have to face the Avalanche again next Saturday.   

The Bruins are 3-3-0 and in fourth place in the Atlantic with six points, trailing first-place Detroit by two points. But a win over Utah tonight and a Red Wings loss to Edmonton this afternoon would put us right back into the thick of things.  

It's been a brutal weekend on the ice. Two Bruins' losses, two losses by the BU men's team, and one loss by the BU women. 0-5 on the weekend. If it wasn't for Georgia Bulldogs' football, I'd be totally despondent.
