In order for the Bruins to repeat last year’s playoff success (and hopefully win the Stanley Cup) this season, a number of key players will have to step-up big time when the game is on the line. There are the obvious players who the Bruins count on every night, like the Bergeron Line or Tuukka Rask, but as last year’s run to the cup final showed, you have to have unexpected or lesser known players rise to the occasion as well.
The perfect example of this was Charlie Coyle last season.
