The Boston Bruins, initially expected to excel in the 2024-25 NHL season, are struggling significantly, currently sitting at just 69 points after 74 games. Despite team president Cam Neely's optimism about a playoff run, the team is now closer to the bottom of the Eastern Conference than to the playoffs. A recent retrospective on the season reveals a mix of free-agent disappointments and poor performance after a significant trade-deadline restructure. Their current standing is alarming, as only the Buffalo Sabres rank lower in points, exposing a sharp decline since the previous season.
The Bruins only have a point separating them from a potential top-five pick at this stage of the NHL season.
I'm excited about this year. I really am,
Yes, the Boston Bruins - a franchise long lauded for its ability to pry open its contention windows well beyond conventional thinking - is on the brink of being the worst team in the entire Eastern Conference.
For all of the hope of a beefed-up Bruins roster being a hard out this spring, only the Buffalo Sabres have fewer points than Boston in the Eastern Conference.
