3. David Krejci

The 1st line isn’t completely to blame. The 2nd line played pretty poorly as well. One of the worst players on the 2nd line was David Krejci.

Krejci is a talented center, but he showed a fatal flaw in the Stanley Cup Finals. It seems like Krejci is too reliant on others.

There is no doubt that Krejci has a ton of skill, but he needs people surrounding him to perform well. That just shouldn’t be the case. Krejci should be lifting up the players who play around him.

In the Stanley Cup Finals Krejci only had two assists. That isn’t enough production from your 2nd line center.

Next. Tuukka Rask should win Conn Smyth. dark

This loss will sting for a while, but hopefully the Bruins will use this is motivation and scratch and claw there way to the 2020 Stanley Cup Finals. If they do they will have a chance to fix their mistakes and raise another banner to the TD Garden rafters.
