I often get reminded that the Boston Bruins won’t win another Cup until the team is full of Canadian players, but yet an NHL team within said country hasn’t raised Lord Stanley for 33 years.
Multiple prospects in the AHL PBruins have changed agents & multiple prospects just refused to sign in the AHL.
There’s a problem brewing in the Bruins development program.
It’s getting worse and worse while everyone is distracted with a lackluster NHL roster.
I ran Tankathon’s NHL Draft Lottery Simulator 50 times and these are the results of the top 10.
#NHLBruins got the pick from #LeafsForever 54% of the simulations.
Blues, Predators, and Sharks all had large jumps to 1st overall 👀
Lowest Shots on Goal in a Game 7 Win:
9 - #GoHabsGo vs TBL (2026)*
13 - #LetsGoPens vs NJD (1999)
15 - #GoBolts vs CGY (2004)
16 - #MNWild vs VAN (2003)
17 - #GoBolts vs DET (2015)
and 3 others
*tonight
Pastrnak: "I definitely need to get back to shooting more." Says he felt like he rushed on some scoring chances this year when he could have made a better play. Makes clear he wants to score more goals than he did this year.
Both the Bruins and Celtics shifted a lot of expectations ahead of what was supposed to be either "bridge" or "rebuilding" years.
But sure doesn't feel great when both teams completely stumble in their own building in the playoffs.
A quiet spring here in Boston.
