COMMENTARY
The 2016-17 season may not have ended the way they wanted, but the Bruins have to feel proud of themselves.
They reached overtime of Game 6 in a playoff series against the Senators in which they had to fight through everything from the injury bug to inserting players like Charlie McAvoy, Sean Kuraly and several others for their first postseason appearance. The fact that they even made it to the postseason when all looked lost after the firing of Claude Julien back on Feb. 7 is a testament to the Bruins’ resiliency.
The future looks a little brighter in Boston following the Bruins’ first postseason appearance since 2014.
