The Boston Bruins went from having a fair chance at making the NHL playoffs in January to crashing and burning out of the race. This isn’t the Bruins hitting a rough patch, but a downtrend they just can’t seem to reverse. Just how bad is it? Well, for the first time since 1997, the Bruins have found themselves at the bottom of the Eastern Conference in April. Yet, Joe Sacco is still looking to salvage what he can on a match-to-match basis.
Unfortunately for Sacco, Boston has failed on that front as well. A massive nine-game losing streak has shattered even a miraculous chance of making the playoffs. Despite this grim outlook, Sacco is excited to face their next matchup against the Montreal Canadiens. Montreal, who still has a 45.5% chance of clinching the last remaining wild cards as per MoneyPuck, will look to beat a downed Boston.
However, Joe Sacco’s Boston Bruins would like to throw a wrench in those plans. The Bruins are looking to go all out as a team with nothing left to lose on the final stretch of their disastrous 2024-25 season. “For us, it’s a good opportunity to try to make their chances of progressing into the playoffs a little bit harder,” Sacco told reporters as his team will look to become the heel in Montreal’s story.
