Dreamed Up Vs. Dreary Reality

Memories of Seth Griffith's spectacular goal 
-as well as David Pastrnak and Ryan Spooner goals-
will carry us through these unsavory Bruinless playoffs now...?

NHL.com's BRACKET CHALLENGE was a painful one to accept - 
but, as usual, we didn't back out of the challenge; 
we never back out of ANY challenge!

Memories of the many promises of this campaign, early on in training camp as we recalled already here, which had prompted EA Sports, proud makers of the NHL 15 game which sports future Bruins captain Patrice Bergeron on its cover, to declare that the Bruins would be tops in the course of this 2014-15 campaign... Further more, the projection had in fact predicted a Bruins-Kings finals for the Stanley Cup! Both teams, as we know, failed to even qualify for the playoffs this year; both the top seed in the East and defending cup champion OUT OF IT, right off the... stick?  The projection had further predicted a total of 103 points for the Bruins, which wasn't far off, to tell the truth. What was far out was to project that those 103 points would be tops among all the Eastern Conference clubs and yield yet another top seed overall in the league! In reality, the Bruins would gather 96 points: and it wasn't good enough to capture a second straight President's Trophy at all, no! They would actually find themselves two points short of a qualification for the post-season with that, as we saw a mere few days ago...! What a nightmare!  One that neither EA Sports, nor any one of us here at Bostonian Dreams could have EVER PREDICTED, indeed...
