The Bruins have felt very good about their roster as of late. Records can often be misleading; take the Ottawa Senators, for example, who made it all the way to the Eastern Conference Final last season. Their record indicated they were a better team than the underlying numbers, leading them to mis-evaluate and mis-manage their team.
Fortunately, the Bruins are dominating games, and the underlying numbers indicate they are as strong as their record indicates. Why they’ve become so good is up for debate. Obviously, when the Bruins were struggling with injuries early on, Bruins fans knew the team wasn’t at full strength.
