The intersection of “it’s so over” and “we’re so back” has never been so close for Boston fans.
After a 5 game losing streak in which the only positive you could take from it is David Pastrnak is in fact still Him, the Bruins finally got off the hump against the Penguins yesterday. So naturally the loins gird a bit at the idea of facing Minnesota, a team that’s been clicking away with some nice quiet 5-2 wins here and there throughout the season, barring of course the games Marc-Andre Fleury starts to feel very, very old. There’s a hesitancy to assume that Boston stands much of a chance, right?
