Same story, different verse.
The Boston Bruins enter another season facing a shrinking contention window.
Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci re-signed for one year, hoping to lead their team to another deep playoff run. Bergeron showed no signs of declining at age 36. Krejci hasn’t lost a step as he reacclimated to the NHL lifestyle after spending last season in his native Czechia.
Eventually, the Bergeon and Krejci era will come to an end. That day will come sooner rather than later. The last hurrah speculation continued with Bruins’ President Cam Neely acknowledging that sentiment at the team’s media day.
