Over the past few seasons, the Bruins’ locker room has gone through some changes. Gone were the days of being a perennial Stanley Cup contender. Former mainstays like Milan Lucic, Shawn Thornton, Loui Eriksson, Johnny Boychuk and Tyler Seguin (to name a few) found new homes through trade or free agency.
Only a few remain from their 2011 Stanley Cup triumph and the run back to the Cup Final two years later. That core still intact includes captain and ageless wonder Zdeno Chara, Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci as the two ‘A’s’, Tuukka Rask as the team’s stalwart goalie, Adam McQuaid holding steady as a bottom pairing defenseman and Brad Marchand, who over the past two years has solidified his spot as one of the league’s prolific goal scorers.
