Here we are again a year later. A year where the Bruins failed to make the postseason, again, marking the first back-to-back playoff misses since 2005-06 and 2006-07.
Instead of making more changes, the Bruins appear to be doubling down on their approach entering another off-season of uncertainty.
In Sweeney’s first year, the Bruins were in transition from a veteran team to a “rebuild on the fly.” The plan was to implement some of their younger players while keeping core players like Patrice Bergeron, Brad Marchand and David Krejci, intact while competing for a playoff spot.
That did not happen, however.
