The Boston Bruins struggled at home during the playoffs, losing all three first-round games at TD Garden. Marco Sturm noted that the pressure may have affected their performance.
BOSTON â All season long the Bruins were a dominant team at home.
That wasnât the case in the playoffs.
Boston dropped all three first-round games at TD Garden, including Fridayâs Game 6 loss that knocked the Bruins from the playoffs.
âWe didnât think on the road. I think on the road it was much easier. I think, obviously, we noticed a little bit of the pressure. I donât know. Iâm not sure. Iâm just talking, I guess what I feel,â Sturm said. âWhat I think is we felt a little bit of the pressure, especially after last game being at home.â
Why did the Bruins feel pressure in a familiar building that brought them so much success in 2025-26?
âBecause we care,â Sturm said. âI think guys care. They wanted to prove everyone wrong, and sometimes it doesnât go your way. And I think thatâs what happened a little bit. We never really got the flow. Buffalo played good, played solid. They played the game like we played the other night in Buffalo, so thatâs sometimes how it goes. But again, itâs not lack of effort, itâs not lack of attitude. These guys care. I can tell you that. Weâre here for a reason. We played a hell of a season because of the character we have in that room. And unfortunately came up short.â
The Bruins were 29-11-1 at home and 16-16-9 on the road in the regular season. They earned a Game 2 win in Buffalo, but couldnât find the comforts of home the way they did on a consistent basis.
The offseason now begins for the Bruins. While Fridayâs loss is still fresh, theyâll have their eyes on the NHL Draft Lottery on Tuesday to see whether theyâll get the Toronto Maple Leafsâ first-round pick should it fall out of the top-five.
