Following a disappointing 7-4 defeat against the New York Rangers, Boston Bruins forward Charlie Coyle openly voiced his frustration. He strongly criticized his teammates, labeling their performance as "unacceptable," particularly considering the Rangers played the second game of a back-to-back.
Coyle showed empathy towards the team's goalkeepers, recognizing their exceptional efforts throughout the season. He regretted how the team's poor display had left the goalies vulnerable, preventing them from displaying their usual high standard of play.
