Bruins' playoff hopes hang in the balance as they suffer a humiliating 7-1 loss to the Buffalo Sabres in Game 4 on home ice. The rout marks a stunning turnaround from the Bruins' dominant performance in Game 3, and raises serious questions about their ability to compete in the series. Despite their high-powered offense, the Bruins were thoroughly outplayed by the Sabres, who capitalized on Boston's lack of discipline and poor goaltending to take a commanding 3-1 series lead. As the series shifts back to Buffalo, the Bruins will need to regroup and rediscover their form if they hope to stay alive in the playoffs.
