"Watching this was torture", "New coach, same problems": B's faithful in despair as Boston Bruins offensive woes continue in shutout loss to Canucks

The Boston Bruins lost 2-0 to the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday at TD Garden. The Bruins are now 2-4 in their last six games. Despite good defense, the Bruins struggled offensively. Interim coach Joe Sacco said his team needs to convert on chances.

"We just have to start burying our chances," he said (via NHL.com). “I think that we’re giving ourselves a chance to compete in games now. The guys are defending hard, like I mentioned before, but offensively, we have to get some guys going and find their scoring touch.”

The Bruins had three power-play opportunities but couldn’t score.

Following the loss, Bruins fans showed frustration on X (formerly Twitter).

"Watching this was torture," one fan said.

"New Coach, Same problems. Way to go, Sweeney," another fan said.

"Wow they are horrible, keystone cops in black and gold, please dont even try to make the playoffs," one fan said.

Here are some more reactions from fans on X.

"Fu**ing horsesh*t team," a fan said.

"This is the least offensively gifted Bruins team that has touched the ice in 20 years," one fan said.

"Worst offense in the league. Poor Monty," another fan said.

Boston Bruins' struggling offense resulted in fourth shutout of the season

Jake DeBrusk scored on a power play in the second period and Conor Garland added an empty-net goal in the third. Boston Bruins' leading scorer David Pastrnak failed to score and recorded 3 shots on goal in 21:08 minutes of ice time.

“The dam is going to break at some point,” Bruins' Charlie McAvoy said, per NHL.com “Just hope it’s soon... We’re stressing defense in here, and we’re doing a great job of it, you know, and I think it has helped our offensive game. We just can’t score.”

The Bruins had 32 shots but couldn't score. They went 0-for-3 on power plays. Boston had chances, including a late shot by Elias Lindholm, but it missed. The Boston Bruins have struggled offensively, despite good defensive play. Vancouver’s defense and Lankinen’s 32 saves kept the Bruins from scoring.
