from Fluto Shinzawa of the Boston Globe,
The loss underscored some ugly truths about the Bruins. They’re playing scared. They’re downright polite when they take leads. They think twice about turning in 60-minute efforts. And they’re not committed to being as hungry and desperate as their opponents.
“A couple things have to happen,” said coach Claude Julien, deep into his checklist of items in an attempt to revive his club. “Basically, all I have to say is that we’re going to have to start outworking other teams from start to finish like we were earlier in the season. And your best players have to find their games and give it the best they can for us to get out of it.”

“They think twice about turning in 60 minute efforts”? What?
What?
There’s absolutely no possible way that’s the problem with the Bruins.
That makes absolutely no sense.
Even if the Bruins are struggling to turn in a 60 minute effort, how could it possibly be because they’re thinking twice about it?
Even if you’re willing to forgive the writer for using so many sports cliches to describe what’s wrong with the Bruins, I really don’t see how anyone can excuse the seemingly random ways in which he’s combined them.
