"It was a big game for us, and we thought he would give us the best chance."
"Those little individual mistakes, I would say, just cost us another point here,"
"First period was really good, but again, some guys - [it was] probably one of their worst games of the year. And yeah, unfortunately, just cost us a point."
"It felt like just like any mistake we made, they capitalized on and that's the unfortunate part. Just things we need to clean up in the third is just trying to limit the mental breakdown. ... It's definitely disappointing. This felt like a game we should have definitely had, but nothing we can do about it anymore."
The Bruins lost 5-4 in a shootout to the Canucks despite a 42-22 shot advantage and largely controlling play. Boston surrendered a one-goal lead in the third period and suffered a second-straight loss. The team entered Saturday 20-2-0 when leading after 40 minutes but failed to close out the game. Missed power-play opportunities and mental lapses contributed to the collapse, with Linus Karlsson tying the game 3-3 just 38 seconds after Boston's final man-advantage expired. Boston generated six overtime shots but could not score, increasing frustration among coaches and players.
