This morning, as I talked about the Bruins' style of play with my colleagues, even though they know barely anything about hockey ("you like it because they fight a lot, don't you?" Is something I get every time I mention my appreciation of the sport), I had to think. Is it really a tough time to be a Bruins fan?
And, at the edge of this upcoming season, I'm not above saying it: the Bruins are a mess. During the off-season, they lost their GM, their most promising defenseman, and multiple forwards -- some old and done, some with plenty of potential that they didn't get to show in the last few seasons.
