5 min Bruins shutout by Vladar* Embarrassing loss for Bruins vs Flames. 7th shut out for - How big of a deal will the Bruins goalie situation end up being? * zero success on power play
* Cassidy had a lot to say about chemistry and the team's turnover - You give this some credence? Are they still finding their groove?

Bruins coach Bruce Cassidy feels that his club knows how it needs to play to be successful, but with so much turnover during the offseason is still trying to put it all together on a consistent basis.

"I think we have an identity, but we're still working on it to be that team every single night," said Cassidy. "Some of that is turnover. Don't forget, we brought in three guys at the deadline last year that you're just putting in your lineup and, 'Let's go, get ready for the playoffs.' Now we're doing a little more teaching.
