Are the Boston Bruins BETTER NOW? 

Let me know what you think. I know not everyone will agree, but that is okay.

I think they're better now!

I agree with every single word in this video. Nailed it. Other than, if Korpisalo falters, I’d expect Busse could cover. If Busse also falters than yeah, slight regression. But this defense can cover. Wow this defense looks so hard to play against now. And when we get Draisaitl next year…😂😂😂🤞🏼

Once they sign Swayman and I believe it's just a matter of time, they will be definitely better IMO. For certain we needed more size on defense to replace grzelcyk. His game fell off last year big time and he looked over powered and undersized a lot. I am excited to see Lohrei's continued development. He looked great at times last year. I expect he will still make mistakes but he is going to be a very solid addition on our defense both defensively and offensively. Our 7 defensemen including wotherspoon look very solid IMO With the additions we have made at offense how can we not be better? I did not like seeing Heinen leave but he deserved more money then we could afford to keep him. If we can get a rookie or 2 from Providence to be able to make the leap to the NHL that will be a bonus. Also if Poitras can pick up where he left off and contribute consistantly, we should see an improvement offensively. IMO Special teams are gonne be fine I think...Our penalty kill should be as solid as ever and hopefully we can get the power play a bit more consistent. As for goaltending...I could play net for the Bruins LOL with their systems in place and commitment to defense the Bruins historically make any goaltender coming here look better. I think the Bruins and Panthers will fight it out for #1 in the division. Toronto should be 3rd. I dont think the other teams have made any significant steps to challenge those 3. Maybe Tampa still has enough to grab 4th or even 3rd place IMO

Theyre better cause theyre bigger and have a C who can win draws in the defensive zone. They are a winger or two away but time for Lysell or Poitras, Freddy or Brazeau to step up. Gryz being out of the top 4 is huge too

Very excited to see this season!

I think a much better, much tougher, bigger team and add the young players who are showing so much promise and we have a special team that can hopefully be great in the playoffs and finish with more points in the regular season! We need to have Swayman and Frederic- I am confident we will and I see Freddy having possibly a breakout year after winning the 7th player award and getting better every season. I'm hopeful!

awesome deep dive!

certainly added size and speed. since 2019 ive been very tired of the bruins getting beat up or getting out bruined. there are some receipts i think many of us want to see dealt with. .

Lovely breakdown

They feel very top-heavy to me. That is easier to shut down in the playoffs. We need guys like Geekie & Freddy to step up. One thing I like about this team is, I don't see them giving up last-minute goals anymore. Maybe they'll be comfortable with 2-1 victories.

I have no problem with the players they let walk. I still feel this team needs more size and toughness in their top 6-9 forwards. It’s not about dropping the gloves, it’s about being hard to play against. Physical teams have had their way with Boston over the past several years.

I think they're ok. I'd consider moving Merkulov Carlo for Necas

Ant team which removes DeBrusk and Grzelcyk from its roster has improved.

They certainly have a much higher potential to be better! Unless Elias Lindholm has an absolutely embarrassing season, this team is better than before.

Ha, I have that shot of krejci ,signed, framed on my wall.

I can agree on most of your comments but I feel Zacha kind of disappeared after February - you over valued Zacha, hopefully if Zacha can play wing he’ll score more

Bruins only get better each season…

For years, the Jacobs brothers have had the belief that if the team had a mediocre season, and are still able to draw in the fans, and those fans purchased more food and drink at concession stands this year as compared to the previous year game for game, then the season was a success. Unfortunately, that once-proud organization that had very likable players like Orr, Sanderson, Esposito, Cashman, O’Reilly, and Bourque have lost a great amount of that mystique over the years. The fans have been forced to settle for mediocrity, with no change in sight.
