Boston struggled to match Columbus’ energy and fell behind early. Here are some more reactions from fans on X.

"You killed a 5 minute power play & scored 3 goals in the 3rd period against one of the top teams in the league, in the 3rd period, without Pasta. Let’s try a whole game without him," a fan wrote.

"Cannot believe I paid scalper prices for that shit show tonight. Soft, lazy, slow, changing lines at all the wrong times. You looked like a bad high school team in Columbus. Losing a season series to Columbus is the lowest point for the franchise. What a pathetic performance," a fan wrote.
