With the season coming to a quick end and the Boston Bruins currently holding second place in the Atlantic division, the million-dollar question is: Are the Bruins legitimate Stanley Cup contenders?
Despite battling the injury bug all year long, the Bruins have shown time after time resilience and perseverance are the key to finding ways to win games.
After taking a 7-1 beat-down during the first game of the season from the defending Stanley Cup Champions, Washington Capitals, there was doubt right away that this team wasn’t good enough.
Boy, were those doubters wrong.
With literally everybody on the lineup missing action this year due to injury (minus David Krejci) the Bruins have had to make multiple call-ups through out the year and place significant responsibility on such young players.
