Bruins' season starts tonight!

Bruins' season starts tonight!  Is this team better than last year? What would you consider a successful season?

00:00Uh, the Athletic released their projected season, uh, standings in the NHL.

00:06Your Boston Bruins, uh, way down the list.

00:10In their own division, they have them finishing third, projected-wise, at 96.6 points.

00:16Which doesn't really make sense to me, because last season, uh, the Bruins finished with

00:20109 points, and I believe, at least from my perspective, a more complete team this year.

00:25Especially when it comes to actual, uh, skaters, and not necessarily your goaltenders, but

00:29skaters.

00:30And Jeremy Swayman's gonna be playing on that contract.

00:33He'll be good to go.

00:34He'll play the majority of the season.

00:35I think this team's gonna be good.

00:36Brad Marchand, a year older, went through a whole bunch of surgeries offseason.

00:41But also might be healthier post-surgery, right?

00:45And I think having a legitimate No. 1 center is a big deal, adding Zdorov on the back end

00:50is another big deal.

00:51I think this Bruins team is better than they were last year.

00:54I think they will absolutely be over 100 points.

00:57I don't expect them to be at that 96-ish area.

01:00I think they'll be over 100 points.

01:02I think they'll be better than the Tampa Bay Lightning.

01:04I don't understand how you're projecting them less than that.

01:06But it is what it is, I guess.

01:08But regardless, I'm excited for this season.

01:10It's gonna be a bummer to watch Florida raise their banners today, but I'm excited for the

01:14Bruins season to get underway.

01:16I'm so amped that hockey is back, and I'm ready to go, man.

01:20What is your expectation, playoff-wise, round-wise?

01:24I would like to see them get through the second round.
