Brad Marchand has telling reaction to Bruins embarrassing loss vs. Jets NBC Boston [Video]

The Boston Bruins’ improvement under interim head coach Joe Sacco, including a 7-2-0 record since the change behind bench, was going to be put to the test in a major way during this five-game road trip out West.

The Bruins failed the first test in embarrassing fashion Tuesday night in Winnipeg.

The Jets, who entered the game tied atop the NHL standings, beat the Bruins 8-1. Winnipeg led 2-0 after 20 minutes, 3-1 after 40 minutes and then outscored Boston 5-0 in the third period.

The result itself is a sharp reversal from what we’ve seen from the Bruins since they fired Jim Montgomery on Nov. 19. The Bruins under Sacco have been one of the league’s best defensive teams. They went into Tuesday ranked No. 2 in shot attempts against, No. 5 in shots on net against, No. 2 in scoring chances against, No. 1 in high-danger chances against and No. 5 in goals against over his first nine games as interim head coach.

Fitness helping women build friendships with strangers [Video]

As an adult, it can sometimes be difficult making new friends. There's no step-by-step process. But, a Milwaukee social group is working to make it easier for people by combining friendship with fitness.With this group, there's no need to run or jog. These women walk and call themselves "Girls Who Walk Milwaukee," The idea is to build friendship one step at a time. Sam Schulte founded the group and created something she saw a need for. "I think it's really accessible for a lot of people and it's easy to talk and meet people and connect and share conversation while you're walking," said Schulte. With one foot in front of the other, dozens of women walked around Estabrook Park in Shorewood. They braved the cold with their coats, scarves and coffee for a common purpose -- fitness and friendship, which is not always easy. "Meeting new friends as an adult is really hard," said Schulte. It's the reason Ariana Brooks joined; she moved to Milwaukee less than a year ago. "To meet people in the Milwaukee area, more girls," said Brooks. "I've gotten to know a couple girls like more so in person than Instagram. So, it's been great."One new friend she met is Anna Brandt who says she loves the walking group. Girls Who Walk Milwaukee started in May 2023. At some of the first walks, Schulte says 20-30 people showed up. Now, she says, there are sometimes 70 women. With each step, strangers turn into friends. It's one of the best parts for Schulte. "That's one of my favorite parts of the walks is when there's people kind of lingering around afterwards, exchanging phone numbers and Instagram handles. So it's really cool to see that happen," said Schulte. The dates and locations for the walks vary. The group is always looking for new routes to explore. The next walk is Saturday at 10 a.m. at Lakefront Brewery. If you can't make it this weekend, visit the group's Instagram page for the schedule.
