It takes more than one loss at home to make the Bruins grow weak in the knees, sweaty in the palms, fearful in the soul.
The Bruins played a desperate Blues team and lost, 3-2, Wednesday night to a club that knew it couldn’t afford to fall behind 2-0 and expect to win a best-of-seven series against a team that rode an eight-game winning streak into the night.
The Bruins remain the favorites to win the Stanley Cup. They showed in coming back from 2-1 deficits against the Maple Leafs and Blue Jackets that they know how to dig out of a hole. And even though three of the remaining five games, should the series stretch to the limit, are scheduled to be played in St. Louis, the Bruins are not in a hole at the moment with the series tied.
“Obviously, you want to take care of business at home, but the better team wins and we weren’t the better team today,” goalie Tuukka Rask said after stopping 34 shots. “You go on the road and grind it out. That’s the only thing you can do, win or lose.
