The Truth Boston Bruins Fans Do Not Want to Hear, Let Alone Admit

The Bruins are not a playoff contender.

The Bruins have not won a playoff series since 2019, and they have not advanced past the second round since 2013. They have also lost in the first round in each of the past two seasons.

The Bruins are not a playoff contender because they do not have the talent. They do not have a top-line center, and they do not have a top-pair defenseman. They also do not have enough depth at forward or on defense.

The Bruins are not a young team.

The Bruins have one of the oldest rosters in the NHL. Their average age is 29.1 years old. This is a problem because older players are more likely to get injured and less likely to be able to keep up with the pace of the game.

The Bruins also do not have a lot of young players who are ready to step into the lineup and make a significant contribution. Their top prospects are all still in the AHL, and they are not expected to be ready for the NHL for at least another year or two.

The Bruins are not a well-coached team.

The Bruins have not had a good coach since Claude Julien was fired in 2017. Bruce Cassidy was a good coach for the Bruins, but he was not able to get them over the hump and win a Stanley Cup.

Jim Montgomery is the new coach of the Bruins, but he is unproven at the NHL level. He has only been a head coach for one season, and he did not have a lot of success with the St. Louis Blues.

The Bruins are not in a good position to win the Stanley Cup.

The Bruins are not a playoff contender. They are not a young team. They are not a well-coached team. And they are not in a good position to win the Stanley Cup.

The Bruins need to make some significant changes if they want to be a contender again. They need to add some young talent, they need to get a better coach, and they need to find a way to get more out of their current players.
