Heading into the 2023-2024 season, most of the noise surrounding the Bruins involved their centers — or, more specifically, their lack of centers.
Patrice Bergeron was gone. David Krejci was gone. The Bruins were “stuck” with Pavel Zacha and Charlie Coyle as their best options.
And while it might be a stretch to say Coyle went full Michael Jordan “and I took that personally” meme mode, he responded with a career year and ended being (relatively quietly) a big part of the Bruins’ success.
