After giving up a 3-0 lead, was last night a new low for the #Bruins? Does that loss change their NHL Trade Deadline approach?

00:00Last night, we said this a lot with the Bruins this year, it felt like a new low.
00:04That was one where it was a guaranteed two points, you did still get a point out of it,
00:09but it feels horrible coming out of it the way you blew a 3-0 lead, a 4-3 lead, another
00:14goal in the final minute of a period, you go to OT, you lose, that one was a kick in
00:19the nuts.
00:20Yeah, it was, and they've lost four straight games with what, five games to go, or five
00:26games to go until the trade deadline, so you're fighting for your lives right now,
00:31and the way these last two games played out were very opposite.
00:34So you were down 2-0, and then fought back and still found a way to get a point, not
00:38two, but you got a point.
00:39You're like, hey, you were down 2-0, so okay, you at least did that.
00:42Now the opposite happens where you're up 3-0 in a game, at home, and the next thing you
00:48know you have to go to overtime, and you have to settle for a point.
00:51And so that was pretty devastating, and it was two different things.
00:55You cough up a three-goal lead, and yet you still get the lead back in the third period,
01:01and all you have to do is hold onto it with less than a minute, less than 30 seconds,
01:06less than 10 seconds to go, and then they tie the game, and then as soon as you went
01:10to overtime, I'm like, just with a skill on the ice, I was taking Toronto.
01:14The way the third period played out, I was taking Toronto.
01:17I was like, all right, you get a point, but man, you left a couple of valuable points
01:21on the board.
01:22We all know what Zdorov does, except work against your team, he hurts your team actively.
01:26He's out there on the game-tying goal, he's physically on the ice, but he does nothing.
01:30He's supposed to be a big physical guy who moves bodies around, he does none of that.
01:33He spends half the game in the penalty box.
01:35I still don't get what he does.
01:36But the Bruins collapsed last night, that was a collapse.
01:39What does it mean for their playoff positioning, and what does it do leading into the trade deadline?
