That the Boston Bruins have not made the 2023-2024 VHL Playoffs. Some may call it disappointing... some may say concerning... Some have even emailed and said it's f*cking embarrassing being a Bruins fan and they are going to tear down TD Garden 1 brick at a time and throw them in the harbor. While I can see where most of these reactions are justified, the state of the franchise isn't as bleak as some may believe. For starters, we have a great core group of players. Career years were had by many of the young, talented forwards we have here in Boston with W. Nymander, D. Cozins, C. Middlestadt, and J. Skinner all putting up respectable numbers for a Boston team that has traditionally been on the wrong side of the GF/GA stat line. We landed in the middle of the pack in the goals for but weren't quite enough to help us secure that playoff goal we set at the beginning of the year. Mr. Oettinger accompanied by M. Heiskanen, M. Seider and the rest of the defense lead Boston to Top 10 finish in goals against. With most of this crew returning for next season, we look to build on that success!
Yes, Season Ticket Holders, we hear you. Loud and Clear. Scoring will be our focus this off season. We have some great players who will be moving into more prominent roles with the team as we look to add more scoring from our second and third lines. M. Knies, A. Lafreniere, and B. Brink will all look to crack the big club next season and any of those 3 can add some much needed scoring from farther down the roster. L. Raymond and M. McTavish have had wonderful growth seasons and we (and they) expect big things if they move into that second line role as we think they should.
I want to take the time to thank all the players we lost this season for their time served here and hope they continue to do things (except when they play us) during their VHL Careers.
Here's to the playoff teams, great work this season and we plan on knocking a few of you around next year.
We will be aggressive... We Will Attack... WE WILL WIN!!!
Until the Draft!!!
