The Bruins have not been the clear Cup favorite in 51 years (1971-1972) - contenders yes but not the team to beat.
Consider that on Friday night Dave Goucher was gushing about Vegas being the first team in the West to hit 80 points.
Winning the Presidents' Trophy guarantees NOTHING when the playoffs begin except if you don't lose a playoff game at home you win the Cup.
Watching the Toronto Sports Network on Friday I found it curious that they were saying the 2023 Maple Leafs could be the 2004 Red Sox and that thought scared me. IF the Leafs finally advance to Round 2 the monkey is off their backs but they also then have to then play the Bruins who they have not beaten in the playoffs since 1959.
That 1959 Game 7 loss to Toronto at Boston Garden would be the last playoff game the Bruins would play for 9 years and it also made the team change their gold home sweaters to black because of TV.
There is no denying the fact that 2023 is the Bruins Cup Window. THIS IS IT!!!!!!
