So, was it self-inflicted?
"Yeah," Bergeron said. "I think it's a fair assessment. Two penalties and then the other one is, again, something that we can take care of the puck a little better maybe. So, yeah, in a way, it is. That being said, in playoff series it's always about looking forward and making sure that we rectify those things.
"But a lot of it is about playing smarter."
He wasn't alone in feeling that way.
Game 1 hero Charlie Coyle, who made up for a turnover that led to a goal in that game with two of his own, had another giveaway that directly resulted in a goal in Game 2.
With the Bruins leading 2-1 in the second period, Coyle made a blind, backhand pass into the slot that was intercepted by Jones. He passed it to Artemi Panarin for the forward's second goal of the game, an impressively angled shot from the bottom of the right circle.
That tied the game at 8:01.
"I think everything they got, we gave it to them," Coyle said. "I mean, they worked, obviously. They worked on the power play and the power play turnovers, and they capitalized. Especially a team like that, you give it to them like that and they're going to make you pay, and they did."
