If there’s one thing that Bruins fans can agree upon prior to the 2021-2022 season, it’s their excitement to not have to play mostly Metropolitan Division opponents (and the Buffalo Sabres, of course) what seems like every game of the season.
Having to watch the Bruins play the New Jersey Devils 8 times last season was simply unbearable (even more so when the Devils went 5-1-2 against Boston).
Thankfully, the upcoming NHL season will see the league returning to its normal division alignment and a schedule that sees each team face off against every other team in the league at least twice.
