Bruins media columnist discovers the Bruins
Bruins are in excellent position to be primed for the playoffs
Luck and design don’t often cooperate the way they have during this thus-far-remarkable season for the Bruins. The opportunity for a professional sports team to get its affairs in order before the playoffs doesn’t happen too often in any league.
The Red Sox have won four American League East titles since 2007, but none by more than 5½ games (2013). The Celtics, even in the years of New Big Three title contention, almost always had to battle with one LeBron James-led team or another for the top seed.
Even the Patriots, who have won the AFC East nine straight years and 14 of 15 — pause here to consider how insane that is — usually have something such as playoff seeding at stake over the regular season’s waning weeks.
The Bruins, thought by the likes of, ahem, me, to be a fringe playoff contender entering the season, now have the opportunity over the season’s final month to make sure they are in their best possible condition heading into the playoffs.
