Why the Bruins’ Busy Free Agency Could Leave Their Biggest Flaw Unfixed—And What It Means for the Season
The Bruins don’t need a lot more toughness. They went into last season as the second-tallest and heaviest team in the league. It didn’t go well. They even ranked third in both fighting majors and hits last season.
Being hard to play against is great. The Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers are very difficult to play against. But the Panthers also can score a ton of goals — 4.09 goals per game in the 2025 playoffs, for example.
The Bruins’ problem last season — as noted in the table above — was that they couldn’t put the puck in the back of the net on a consistent basis.
