The Boston Bruins<\/a> suffered a 2-1 road loss to the Florida Panthers in a game that head coach Marco Sturm wasn\u2019t pleased with.<\/p>\n

Boston had been on a four-game winning streak and had won six of its past seven. Yet, against the Panthers, who aren\u2019t going to be making the playoffs, the Bruins struggled, and Sturm felt like the team<\/a> overlooked Florida.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe didn\u2019t respect our opponent tonight,\u201d Sturm said postgame, as seen on NESN\u2019s postgame coverage. \u201cThey had a lot of guys out, and we didn\u2019t do our job. Shame on us today. It was a big push in the third, but it was a little bit too late.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWith a team like that, I don\u2019t care who is out, they are a good structure team and played hard. We weren\u2019t willing to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Florida led 2-0 less than eight minutes into the first period, as the Bruins struggled from the get-go and didn\u2019t come out with the jump the team is usually playing with.<\/p>\n

Although Boston is firmly in a playoff spot, forward Morgan Geekie said it\u2019s disappointing<\/a> not to win this game.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese are important games and we\u2019re winning games at the end of the day,\u201d said Geekie. \u201cIt doesn\u2019t matter how we do it. But, tonight, it feels like you let everyone down. Had the opportunities, but it\u2019s been a tough stretch.\u201d<\/p>\n

Boston will return to the ice on Saturday on the road against the Tampa Bay Lightning.<\/p>\n
