I soured on both of them because of lackluster playoff performances. Seguin’s big game against the Lightning in 2011 not withstanding, I alwayhats felt like he and Thornton both underachieved here in the playoffs. Both have identical 6-12-18 playoff scoring lines with the Bruins.
Although most Bruins didn’t play well statistically in the 2013 Final, I’ve always felt that if Seguin had stepped it up just a bit and lived up to his potential, that series might have gone to a Game 7, or maybe the outcome would have been entirely different. Who knows.
As far as 2021 goes, I’m having a hard time seeing who on the Bruins roster would be able to bring any scoring depth in return. Unlike most Boston sports fans (members of this forum excepted), I know that nobody is going to send us an all-star in return for a bag of crap.
I really want another RW.
