If the terrible home loss to the New York Islanders was one that produced some soul-searching, the Bruins did most of that behind closed doors on Tuesday after the scheduled 10:30 a.m. practice at Warrior Ice Arena was canceled.

Still, the B’s, who’ll get back on the horse Wednesday night in Detroit, felt like a team in crisis this morning after they frittered away two more points that they should have had on Monday. And the coach was in a circling-the-wagons mode.

He canceled practice because he had sensed fatigue both in the 4-0 loss to the Islanders — though he said it wasn’t the only reason for the defeat — and this morning when the team arrived at the Brighton facility. He instead opted for a video session for the players.

If there was any airing out of those players, Julien did not bring it into the press briefing room.
