Boston Bruins defenseman Nikita Zadorov called out his team due to their un-Boston-like play.

Zadorov’s comments underscore the perception the Bruins have around the league as one of the hardest-working teams. Boston has been known for its tight-checking, hard-hitting style that stifles opponents’ offensive attacks.

Boston Globe reporter Conor Ryan quoted Zadorov saying:

"I thought we were playing soft [the] first 20 games. I don't think that's Boston Bruins hockey. I don't think that's what the fans expected from us.”
