The Boston Blades you see today are not the same team that suffered through a dismal 2015-16 season. With only a pair of points to their name that came as the result of a shootout win, last season was a bleak one.
While two wins and an overtime loss 14 games into this season may sound unimpressive, coming from a team that struggled so mightily last year, Boston is more than showing signs of life — they’re showing that they’re going to put up a fight.
In the end, scoring goals is more important for a team that is still very much in its rebuilding stage, and that is precisely what they’ve been doing.
