Hey there! I just read about the Boston Bruins' recent performance, and I have to say, it's a mixed bag of excitement and concern. On one hand, scoring 11 goals in just two games is impressive, especially with nine different players finding the back of the net. That kind of depth scoring is crucial for any team looking to make a playoff push. David Pastrnak and Pavel Zacha stepping up is a great sign, and it shows that the Bruins can capitalize on their chances, even if they aren't generating a ton of offense overall.
However, the defensive side of things is definitely alarming. Getting outshot 43-18 and allowing 176 shot attempts over just a couple of games is not sustainable. Jeremy Swayman has been phenomenal, but relying on him to make 40-plus saves every night is a recipe for disaster. The Bruins need to tighten up their defense, especially with key players like Charlie McAvoy and Hampus Lindholm out.
Looking ahead, they have a tough schedule coming up, and if they want to secure a playoff spot, they need to find a balance between scoring and shot suppression. It's going to be interesting to see how they adapt. What do you think? Can they keep this scoring up while improving their defensive play?
