Cam Neely thinks the Bruins deserve more from the NHL’s plan to resume, but at this point, the team’s president is just happy to be playing hockey.
Under the league’s plan to return to play, which was announced Tuesday, the would-be top-seed Bruins will play a round-robin tournament with the other leading teams in the Eastern Conference – Tampa Bay, Washington, and Philadelphia – to determine playoff seeding.
The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported.
“It’s a little frustrating, based on what the team accomplished in the first 70 games, that in three round-robin games we could go from first overall in the league to fourth in the conference once the playoffs start,” Neely wrote in an email to The Boston Globe Wednesday.
