The Boston Bruins players continued to excel Monday while Bruins management continued to fail in the Mitchell Miller fallout.
That and much more in the latest Boston Hockey Now Bruins Daily:
Boston Bruins
As Boston Bruins team president Cam Neely said himself, when it comes to the Mitchell Miller signing and release, the Bruins dropped the ball, and there’s really no spin or whataboutism that can change that.
Making matters worse, Neely and general manager Don Sweeney ignored pleas from the player leadership group and signed Miller anyways.
To the players’ credit though, Boston Bruins captain Patrice Bergeron and his teammates didn’t let that distract them from their mission and pulled off a gutsy 3-1 win over the St. Louis Blues Monday night at TD Garden.
