Were expectations too high for the Bruins defense?

On this episode of Bear With Me, hosts Joey Copponi and Rob Tocci dive deep into the Boston Bruins’ rocky start to the season, currently sitting at 3-2-1 in the Atlantic Division.

Following a frustrating overtime loss to the Utah Hockey Club, they dissect the team’s alarming number of turnovers and penalties, leading the league with 29 short-handed situations in just six games. With the top players underperforming and the fourth line surprisingly stepping up, the hosts question whether expectations for the Bruins’ defense were set too high. They also explore the implications of coaching dynamics and the need for a more cohesive team effort as they reflect on the team’s identity and future prospects.

Join the conversation as they blend humor with analysis, offering insights into the challenges facing the Bruins and the emotional rollercoaster of being a fan.
