Many players on the Boston Bruins roster, currently, seem like passengers. You hear it so often after miserable performances and results. “We have had only passengers on the ice tonight.” Young players like Jake DeBrusk and Danton Heinen obviously need a spark.
The Bruins’ middle-six offense is simply not producing lately. There is no need to hit the panic button yet. The Bruins will, most likely, make the 2020 Stanley Cup playoffs. But is that all the Bruins should aim for? Absolutely not.
Just take a look at the New England Patriots, who entered the playoffs in a poor form and how was their fate on Saturday night.
