Brett Ritchie is no mathematician.
The first-year Bruin produced quite a mental gaffe as he put Boston’s current slide into perspective. Ritchie knows an NHL season is a marathon, not a sprint, but his attempt to express this point resulted in one of the funnier Bruins soundbites of the season.
Bruins’ Brett Ritchie: “It’s an 82-game season. We weren’t going to go 80-3 or whatever it was.”

Yeah, Ritchie might want to run those numbers back.
It only was a matter of time before Ritchie caught heat from his B’s teammates upon the tweet going out, and Torey Krug did the honors by offering a quality follow-up.

We have to admit, it’s a bit odd seeing Krug engage in social-media trolling with someone other than Brad Marchand.
The Bruins will try to halt their losing streak at three Wednesday night when they visit the Washington Capitals.
