Coming into the new season, I posted an article "The Boston Bruins: A Possible Dominant Force In The East." I was glancing over it today and I knew I had a good feeling about this year in Bruins Hockey. I expected third or fourth place.

I never expected to be holding first place strong and how sweet it is. For my late midseason prediction, I have faith that the Bruins can make the necessary push to drive themselves deep into the NHL playoffs.

If you're a Boston fan and take a look back so far against all our opponents, the only team that has shown a threat has been Washington, granted that teams can make a complete 180 is playoffs.

But if the east stays the same, or somewhat similar as of now, I think the Bs have astonishing odds to get to the Stanley cup, especially with the failure of the Penguins to hold up to there name so far.

People that doubt me if you take a look at the Bruins roster. I don't think you can come cross a more balanced team and the younger players performance on the team is phenomenal. I could go on forever about predictions but I'm a guy that prefers action. So let's let the season continue and watch the Bruins flourish in the east.
