Boston Bruins: 3 bold predictions for the 2018-19 season
By Sam Minton
Brad Marchand will win the Hart
Brad Marchand is one of the best goal scorers in the league. He continues to top the Boston Bruins stat sheet and there are no signs of him stopping. I think Marchand will continue to score at an amazing pace.
Marchand is such a quick skater and can dangle his way through any defenseman. He scores goals that other players wish they could.
Marchand has scored 85 points in two straight seasons. If he does want to win the Hart Trophy he needs to score a bit more. Taylor Hall won the award last year and he had 93 points.
A key for Marchand will be staying on the ice. Marchand doesn’t have issues staying healthy, he just has issues being an idiot. Sometimes Marchand makes stupid decisions like spearing players and delivering dirty hits.
If Marchand wants to win the Hart he needs to stay out of trouble. I think I have a better chance of making the Bruins. You might as well pencil in Marchand for at least one 5 game suspension.
This season should be the year that Brad Marchand proves that he is one of the best players in the NHL.
