Did the Boston Bruins hit a wall in November, or are they just not getting the same effort they enjoyed in October?

That’s a matter of debate, although it’s pretty clear where Claude Julien stands after a 5-4 loss to the San Jose Sharks.

“We all know this isn’t good enough. ... There’s no excuse for tonight,” Julien said, according to NESN’s Zack Cox. “I don’t think we have the full commitment of the whole group.”

The Bruins finished October on a tear, going 6-1-0. Things have soured since then, as they’ve gone 2-5-0 since November began.

One thing seems tough to debate: the Bruins need to find a way to improve on defense, which is definitely not a familiar predicament.
