A New Coach in Jim Montgomery
New Teammates in Pavel Zacha
and the gritty, feisty A.J. GREER
Plus the returning David Krejci
AND THE BOSTON BRUINS
ARE IN FIRST PLACE!
And which team is it that is the closest to their record...?
Well, there are two: the accursed New Jersey Devils,
for one - that shouldn't last. But the other one is...
former Bruins' coach Bruce Cassidy's
new team - the Las Vegas Knights.
What a coincidence... huh
What - you didn't think it was going to be
THE SEATTLE KRAKEN... did you?
But enough jokes - the time is not for that - at all!
THE TIME WAS SET - FOR RECORDS!
THE 2022-23 BOSTON BRUINS
BLEW OUT OF THE WATER
THE OLD CANADIENS RECORD
OF MOST POINTS DURING
A REGULAR SEASON!
NOT ONLY THEY ECLIPSED THE MARK
SET IN THE DARK AGES OF THE NHL
WHEN THERE WERE ONLY
TWO OR THREE CONTENDERS
LEAGUE-WIDE
(hence the damned Montreal Canadiens
had no difficulty at all amassing all those points
most of the time against easy prey!)
THESE BOSTON BRUINS
ESTABLISHED THE IMPRESSIVE
RECORD
IN A DAY AND AGE
OF TOTAL AND NEAR-COMPLETE
PARITY, LEAGUE-WIDE
WHEN EACH AND EVERY TEAM
IS COMPETITIVE;
ANY TEAM COULD
BECOME A "CINDERELLA" STORY
AND SUDDENLY ASPIRE
TO REACH THE FINALS...!!!
Any team at all - even the Kraken!!
AND IT IS WITH SUCH COMPETITION
WITHIN SUCH A LEAGUE
THAT THE BOSTON BRUINS
ACCOMPLISHED THIS FEAT:
MASTERFUL DOMINANCE
OVER ONE AND ALL
THROUGHOUT A GRUELING
82-GAME SCHEDULE!
THIS WILL NEVER
BE EQUALED
AND YES -
THIS IS A MILLION TIMES
BETTER
THAN THE DAMNED
MONTREAL CANADIENS
OF THE MISBEGOTTEN
1970S NHL!!!
BOSTON
IS
BETTER
