Why The Boston Bruins Are Legitimate CONTENDERS..
The Boston Bruins have become the sneakiest contender of the NHL season. The Bruins are on a six‑game win streak and are currently in position to earn a top three seed in the Atlantic Division, something no one could have predicted. In addition, Boston was recently involved in trade rumors surrounding one of the biggest trade‑deadline targets. The deal ultimately fell through, but it gave the fanbase some insight into the front office’s mindset and their desire to be buyers at the deadline. So today, let’s talk about the Bruins, how they’ve found success despite the challenges they’ve faced, and one other trade that could set Boston apart from the competition in a very tightly knit playoff race.Subscribe to Jimmy Hockey for more NHL News and Breakdowns.

please can buffalo make the playoffs please
Based on the current points per game right now, the Boston Bruins are on track to finish with 97 points.
This is the team that went 65-12 and got their asses swept 1st round 😂😂😂😂😂😂
Morgan Geekie and Fraser Minten have been lights out too
Please don't trade for anyone and stack picks. This is a good sellers market so get the most of the retool😊
Nope they don’t they still suck nutz
"Contender" 🥱
I'm gonna point out, we are probably the streakiest team in the league. Just cause we are doing well now doesn't mean we will stay this way. Petterson would be nice, hesitant on a first rounder. Definitely more worth a first rounder than Anderson
After suffering through last year, this year's team gives me big "Island of Misfit Toys" vibes. So many of the players contributing big so far this year are dudes the Bruins got recently and/or for next to nothing. Mittelstadt was basically a throw-in on the Coyle-Zellers trade and B's acquired Arvidsson for a 2027 5th, both of whom have been lights out on the second line. Khusnutdinov came back in the Brazeau trade and Minten in the Carlo trade, definitely didn't have either of them scoring 10+ in the NHL this season. Zadorov was a newcomer last year, and after his dissappointing first season, has been probably the team's most consistent defemseman all year. The Jeannot deal was widely panned but he's been a really good depth piece on what has to be one of the three or four best fourth lines in the league (and the cap's going up, so his deal will only get better). Aspirot is basically found money.
This team has been a really fun watch this season. I almost never feel like they're out of it. They're tough and mean and relentless and they stick up for each other. And they're doing it all under a likeable first-year head coach who it seems like they'd all run through a wall for. I have absolutely no delusions of them winning the cup this year, but I'm optimistic about the future of this team for the first time since Bergeron's retirement.
A bit premature to call them contenders no?
When your young guys take a huge step forward when you thought their depth was gonna be a issue and your superstar in Pasta is making everyone better your on the right path.
Bruins fan here, they are legitimately not, but I like the positive energy.
let me disagree, Penguins are also defying all expectations but no one would say they are contenders. Besides Pastrnak Boston has no elite weapons. Geekie, I think, is a modern days Jonathan Cheechoo.v If this team crawls into playoffs, they will bounce in 1st round.
A Petterson trade is straigh up not a good idea. The center pipeline is already clogged. We got who we're hoping is our future 1C comming up, Lindholm locked up, Minten, and they're likely keeping Zacha.
I feel like Canucks ask for petey is definitely starting with Minten. I dont think that Lohrei and a first is what the Canucks are looking for personally. They're gonna want a young difference maker. Not a projectable middle-six guy.
I say buy, I want a team with pasta in his prime. Who would you get rid of on the bruins to make the 11.6M cap space for pettersson?
Bruins are in a pretty decent spot as of now especially when you have guys like Hagens, Zellers, and even Letourneau in the pipeline. I still think some moves need to be made especially due to the fact they seem to have a surplus of centers and lack the depth on RHD.
New England double fucking whammy with Drake “drake maye” Maye and the entire bruins roster giving Boston hope
They are way better than most of us expected, but I’m not sure they are out of the woods yet. This team has been very difficult to evaluate this year. I think their record through the deadline (and how they choose to proceed) will give a much clearer picture. The big thing right now is they have greatly improved their team defense, goaltending, and STAYING OUT OF THE BOX. If they can keep that up, then they are in good shape. But that still remains to be seen imo
Thought this was Iyla Rosanov for a second
