The Boston Bruins are 1-5-1 at home and 6-2 on the road.

from Joe Haggerty of CSNNE,

The numbers are getting downright abysmal on home ice for the Boston Bruins.

After Thursday night’s 3-2 loss to the Colorado Avalanche at TD Garden, the B’s are 1-5-1 in seven home games this season while allowing a whopping 29 goals in those contests.

It’s some of the same mistakes, too: Good starts following by complete disappearing acts, defensive zone mistakes, brutal turnovers that lead to goals against and a complete lack of push when it comes to winning and losing time in the third period. Claude Julien has seen all those problems crop up often enough this season with a Bruins team that dropped to 7-7-1 on the year, and knows that it needs to change.

“It’s the same old, I guess," he said. "We’re off to good starts again and then you get a 2-0 lead. Instead of continuing to play your game, you started seeing some long passes that ended up in icings, and you saw some turnovers at the blue lin. We’re being a little stubborn right now with respecting our game plan for the whole game.

“When you find it again, I thought in the third period it was more of one team a little bit more determined than the other. We didn’t win enough battles, and we didn’t win enough races. This is our building, this is a game we have to win in our own building and we let it get away.”
