It's Only One Loss For The Boston Bruins

from Tara Sullivan of the Boston Globe,

There’s little doubt Brad Marchand will hang onto the egregious no-call on his breakaway opportunity late in a Game 2 loss in Tampa and let it fuel the little ball of anger roiling inside him, fuel it all the way to the puck drop of Game 3 Wednesday night at TD Garden. And there’s similarly little chance the rest of the Bruins won’t have departed Florida’s sunny shores without a hint of regret for the slow start, the sluggish early play, and the occasional lack of physicality and offensive aggressiveness that led to their 4-2 loss in the second-round playoff series with the Lightning.

But there’s something else the Bruins will take home with them to Boston, and when you peel away the layer of frustration that comes with a night when so many things didn’t go their way, it might just matter a whole lot more.

“It’s 1-1,” Marchand said. “We’re in the middle of the playoffs. You’re not going to walk through teams. We have home ice advantage now and we go home.”

We have home ice advantage.
