You could argue the Centennial Jerseys have too many stripes, though.
So, how do we move on after a historic season ends in complete heartbreak?
You pick up the pieces, get back up and get ready to have your heart broken once again.
That’s life as a sports fan.
20 years later, they will kick off the season without Bergeron taking the ice.
Which will take some getting used to, to be quite frank.
I’m still not over it, it’s like losing a family member!
The first person I heard from was none other than the Boss man himself, Dave Portnoy.
Disappointing all around as both Hall and Bertuzzi had great postseasons.
), Morgan Geekie, Milan Lucic and Patrick Brown in free agency.
Patrick Brown is likely the 13th forward until Heinen signs.
I’m allllllll aboard the Poitras hype train.
Frederic was awarded a two year deal through arbitration at 2.3 million per.
All eyes will be on who performs best at the Center position this year.
Can he repeat his 60 goal campaign with Zacha and JVR?
I imagine it’ll be a bit more even spreading the offense out.
No update from Sweeney yet but they’re in negotiations.
Where that number falls is anyone’s guess.
Bruins have a ton of cap space to play with this summer.
The 2019 1st round draft pick spent all of last year with Providence after spending 4 years at Michigan.
Big beefy center, will win some draws and bring some fresh legs to the 4th line.
Bruins fans know Jakub Lauko will bring the energy and help draw penalties.
Excited to see Lauko’s first full season with the big club.
Of all the lines, the bottom six is not set in complete stone.
I imagine there will be some tinkering throughout the year.
I think this is the year McAvoy really stamps his name and becomes a Norris Trophy Candidate.
And boy are the Bruins gonna need him to.
He’s all healed now I’m looking at Lindholm and Carlo to really step up this year.
He’s at his best when he’s jumping up into the play and playing loose.
Ian Mitchell, acquired in the Taylor Hall-Chicago trade, is likely you’re 7th defenseman.
Jakub Zboril cleared waivers and was assigned to Providence.
Disappointing for the 2015 1st round pick but here we are.
There will be no doubt that he is your 1A and Jeremy Swayman is your 1B.
Jeremy Swayman was awarded with a $3.475 million contract through arbitration this summer.
Any time you go to arbitration with any player, it’s not a good feeling.
But I’m guessing with how strapped they were they were hoping the comps would be lower.
Hopefully Swayman won’t take anything to heart and will just play his ass off this year.
Just something to keep an eye on.
That being said, I expect Tampa to fall off a bit especially with no Vasilevskiy early.
Toronto is always Toronto, and they’ve got some new weapons.
Then I suspect it’ll be a toss up between Florida and Buffalo in my opinion.
Get into the playoffs and anything can happen.
It’ll take some time to get used to not seeing No.
37 on the ice, but I’m running on pure vibes for this team.
No expectations, just vibes.
GEAR UP:
It’s a great night to win a hockey game.
