Fresh off a disastrous 6-1 Game 4 loss at TD Garden to the Buffalo Sabres, the Bruins now trail the first-round series 3-1—and the guys are asking the question nobody in Boston wants to answer: is this thing already over?

They dive into the raw postgame emotion, including Charlie McAvoy calling the effort “f*cking embarrassing,” and what that says about the locker room right now. Meanwhile, Jeremy Swayman—who once again deserved better—was seen barking at his own teammates on the bench after being hung out to dry in another brutal defensive showing. Is there any path back in this series? Can the Bruins respond in Game 5 on the road?
