3. Supplemental scoring

The Boston Bruins 1st line has been amazing this season, but the team can’t rely on them to do all the scoring. Boston needs scoring from all 4 lines.

A line that needs to perform well is the Bruins 2nd line. I’m expecting great performances from David Krejci and Jake DeBrusk. Both of these guys had great regular seasons and will hopefully continue to score in the playoffs.

The playoffs will also prove if the Charlie Coyle and Marcus Johansson trades were good moves. These trades were made to add depth and if they are able to score a few times they will have paid off.

Next. David Pastrnak hasn’t missed a step. dark

Playoff hockey is absolutely amazing. It is the best thing in sports and on Thursday it will finally be back. Hopefully we will be seeing the Boston Bruins lift the Stanley Cup and parading through the streets of Boston when all is said and done
