Bruins' Disappearing Act: Analyzing the Game 5 No-Show

Locked On Bruins - Daily Podcast On The Boston Bruins

Faced with an opportunity to finish off a Toronto Maple Leafs team playing without Auston Matthews, the Boston Bruins were MIA to begin Game 5 and just couldn't get it together in an eventual OT loss.

Jim Montgomery is rightfully facing criticism for a couple lineup changes, but this game was lost because Boston's best players were not very good at all, aside from Jeremy Swayman.

Now, there's renewed hope in Toronto and seeds of doubt planted in Boston, even though the Bruins still have a 75% chance of advancing (per Moneypuck).

Can they regroup and get back to how they played in Toronto? Will David Pastrnak finally break out? Is it Linus Ullmark's turn in net.

Let's talk about it on a fresh episode of Locked on Boston Bruins - your favorite hockey team, every day.
