Finding Offense, Losing Structure: Bruins on the Outside Looking In
🎙️ This week on Bruins Tape to Tape, we’re digging into the Bruins’ balancing act — finding offensive firepower while losing defensive structure. We break down the recent win over San Jose and the tough loss to Ottawa, highlighting Matt Poitras’ promotion to first-line center and Brad Marchand’s surprising benching. Vinnie Lettieri is making his case to stay, Charlie Coyle is stepping up in a big way, and the new-look lines are starting to click. But with shots against piling up, defensive lapses becoming a trend, and questions swirling around goalie rotation, how long can the Bruins sustain this style of play?
