I am very interested in the resurgence of God-tier lines dominating, and Boston is an excellent example of this.
Have a gander at their current point distribution:

Compared to another contender, Carolina:

Scoring distribution, by team rank.

You can see that there is a pretty even distribution of points across multiple lines, with a large gap between Carolina's 5th-8th scorers compared to the Boston equivalent.
Top 3 scorers:
- Boston - 59%
- Carolina - 35%
Might be something to keep an eye on....some general questions I have are:
- Has Boston proven to us that good defence/golatending and 1 dominant line are enough to carry a team (as opposed to the "spread the wealth" strategy of offence)
- Is this Boston line going to go down as a legendary line? Which lines in recent times would you compare them to?
- Should more teams be loading up a top line and focusing on limiting scoring chances against with the other lines?
