🎙️The Boston Bruins are under the microscope after a tough Game 1 loss to the Buffalo Sabres, and it raised more questions than answers. What started as a promising outing fell apart fast. Defensive breakdowns, sloppy puck management, and a quiet night from Boston's top scorers left Jeremy Swayman carrying the team on his own. Buffalo came in fast and physical, and the Bruins had no real answer for it. The margin for error in the playoffs is razor-thin, and Game 2 isn't just important. It's essential.
