That was going to be part of the message to the B’s players headed into Game 5, but it sure feels like it’s a little too late at this point.In a must-win Game 4, Bergeron, Marchand and David Krejci combined for two shots on net and Jake DeBrusk’s power play goal in the third was Boston’s only source of offense.That’s just not going to cut it regardless of what’s going on with the defense and the goaltending.“We had an opportunity to even the series. We’re just off net with too many good chances today.“They got another opportunity to build on their lead with what we feel is a questionable call [on Nick Ritchie], they did it.

Tampa Bay has clearly shown in the last two postseason meetings they are a better hockey club than the Bruins, and they are doing it again this series.The only question now is how many games it will take and what the Bruins are going to do about a better team in their division blocking their way these days.It’s clear after four games that something needs to change with the Black and Gold, because it’s not good enough right now.

Maybe it's because Anders Bjork and Jack Studnicka provided questions of their own.Whatever the reason, the Bruins went back to Ritchie and stuck with him.

And they may have a long upcoming offseason to think about it.It stinks that we keep dwelling on Nick Ritchie, but when you tell the story of the 2019-20 Bruins, he will unfortunately be a major, major part of it.When the Lightning made real upgrades at the trade deadline, the Bruins got Ritchie.
