No foolin’, it’s April 1 and the fresh memories of 2015 and 2016 once again hound Bruins’ faithful: “Will the Bruins make the playoffs?”
The last two seasons, it was nada by a scant one point. In 2017, that fraction may well play out as the Black and Gold enter the last week with five games left. Two in the next 24 hours with the depleted Florida Panthers and old friend Shawn Thornton in town. A charter flight after for a Sunday matinee in the Windy City against the Chicago Blackhawks. Seems a long while back those two battled for NHL supremacy for Lord Stanley in 2013.
