Alright, since we’ve got about a week’s worth of time before we have to consider caring about Edmonton (yuck) or Florida (yuck), and I’m personally blanking on how to adequately memorialize/eulogize the Matthews Arena and the enormity of potentially losing that barn, we might as well start to think a little harder about what happens once the Stanley Cup Playoffs are over for the Black and Gold.
The Bruins are once again out early, but unlike last year, the stakes of it being Bergeron’s last go aren’t there, so while it sucks that it keeps being Florida that ends Boston’s season, the writing on how far that team could realistically go was always in the desperate need of a lot going right.
