“Welcome back 🙂”is my favorite video intro. Loving the content as always.

[BobbyWhiting-hkds]

Not sure why people are underestimating Boston. They are constantly great every year.

[zachhaist]

Pulling for Brazzeau to have a good year, like his drive to and presence in front of the net

[domenicr]

Boston had no business standing their ground against Florida but I believe Sweeney addressed the need for more grit (Zadorov) and offensive production (Lindholm). Swayman is a very passionate goaltender and the strong veteran presence of Marchand keeps that winning contender mentality. I think overall they have a great locker room culture. I can still see them putting up great numbers this year.

[DylanHoude-er]

I hate marchand and he should for sure be in the hall of fame. respect honestly

[rherchenreder]

The Bruins will have a lot of new faces this year so attaining the team chemistry they’ve had in recent seasons is a question. If they avoid prolonged injuries to top players they have potential to be top 3 in the Atlantic.

[RRaquello]

A lot of fans might not like him, but Brad Marchand is one of the most obvious Hall-of-Famers playing in the league right now and for the last 10 years. No doubt he'll get in soon after he retires.

[kevinjennings]

Have been a Bruins fan since the Bobby Orr days, so I’ve seen my share of ups and down. Not here to trash talk or fight, but Boston is becoming a little like Toronto - talented and great in regular season, then stumbles in the post season. Want to see hem win it all, but when the chance is there, a team needs break though. 🐻

[JoeMagician]

While Llindholm for DeBrusk is a largely lateral move unless Elias regains his Calgary form, wouldn't underestimate the huge impact of swapping Zadorov for Grzelcyk. Grze had really fallen off and gotten scratched over and over even as injuries hit the blue line.

[claudiodemarco]

One of the problems this past season was not winning key games at home. It was an issue during regular season, and it was especially an issue in the playoffs.

[SomeOne-uykj]

Always on point and quite thorough. Cheers for all that!

[bjp]

They'll miss Ullmark, but they have upgrades elsewhere, and I expect a Korpisalo bounce back. As long as Swayman signs, I'm going bold and saying they win the Presidents. 1st in the Atlantic with 110-115 points.

[ericveneto]

Shannon: do you think the league should introduce an award for best DEFENSIVE defenseman? Who would you name it after?

[rodneydecormier]

Boston needs to see more puck movement by the d corp. It should help the offense get going. If it doesn’t happen they will be one and done again.

[kurty]

One big change is our size. Lines 2-4 are going to be physical, and our top D pairing will wear people down in the playoffs.

[mrabon]

One reason for Marchand's numbers dropping off is he is still adjusting to being the captain. I'm sure that definitely had an impact on his game on the ice.

[Big-AI]

Favorite players on teams they never played for would be challenging and interesting lol (like Suzuki on vegas)

[maxpowr]

If Goalie Bob can't fix Korpisalo, his NHL career is done.

[AshyLarryson]

I don’t believe you can win a cup without at least one elite center in your lineup

[Robert-kibz]

I don't think they'll have as many points this year. They could use some more scoring.
