Bruins Depth Gets Exposed Just Two Periods Into Rivalry Matchup

November 11, 2023

In a fierce rivalry matchup, the Boston Bruins face a depth challenge with only 13 shots on net from 30 attempts through two periods against the Habs.

Notably, Pastrnak and Marchand contribute over half of the offense, prompting a call for other players to step up.

With a slim 1-0 lead entering the third period, it's evident that relying solely on the dynamic duo may not be enough.

Head coach Jim Montgomery urges the team's depth to become more influential in the offensive zone, emphasizing the need for a diversified scoring approach.

Austin Sabourin

Austin Sabourin grew up measuring winters by Bruins schedules and summers by draft. A rink kid from the first slapshot, he learned geography by road trips to the Garden and history by numbers in rafters. Ray Bourque posters curled above his desk; a scuffed puck rode in his backpack as talisman. The team's black and gold became a compass-pointing toward grit, loyalty, and the thrill of overtime breath-holds. That compass eventually pointed him online. Austin studied communications, then chased beat reporting, freelancing between practices and late-night recaps. In June 2023 he took the reins at BruinsInsider.com, where he edits tape breakdowns, tracks lines, and files stories before the Zamboni's lap. He prefers strong verbs to puff, stats to noise, and sources who text back after road losses. The site runs lean but quick-like a third-line forecheck that refuses to coast. Away from the press box, he still talks like a fan: superstitious hoodie, stubborn optimism, grudges softened by highlight reels. Weekend mornings start with coffee and cap math; evenings end with film study and a note to fix tomorrow's headline. He's chasing clarity over clicks, access over hype, and a simple promise: never miss what really matters to Bruins fans.
