If they can maintain a healthy roster, they have enough depth in the roster to be strong contestants. They have suffered from injuries to Sturm who has a concussion, but have brought up both Matt Lashoff and Matt Hunwick which should reinforce the defense while also enabling the farm system players to get valuable experience at a higher level of profession.
Both youngsters have been pretty impressive so far, and if another defensemen were to go down, they could become critical to the long-term success of the team, especially with Ward on the verge of being placed on the disabled list.
But against this roster, even the mighty Habs looked nearly powerless so far in the few on-ice confrontations they have had. And not just them. The Bruins had a though early beginning to the season with a schedule that featured a majority of away games and a home opener against the Penguins.
Despite that, they mostly got Ws and seldom lost any of the games in regulation time.
Even as I type this, the Bruins are “one-siding” the Thrashers on a score of 7-3 with goals from six different players! This sort of thing never happened last year, or hardly.
The fans were begging for goals last year, where they averaged less than 2.5 per game (I can’t recall the exact number). The first 13 games I went to last season were all losses until they finally picked some momentum and won four straight, including the now legendary game six vs. Montreal.
This season so far has been incredible and they only seem to be getting better. Only the second half of the season will allow them to set a strong mark as they keep scoring their way closer and closer to a well-deserved top seed playoff spot.
Call of old time hockey, or old-time hockey, either way, this turnaround is just amazing!
