Two years ago the Bruins came within one point of winning the President's Trophy, led by Phil Kessel's 35 goals, as well as Norris Trophy winner Zdeno Chara, and Vezina Trophy winner Tim Thomas. Last season, following the trade of Phil Kessel (which eventually brought Seguin to Boston), the Bruins could not make up for the loss of Kessel's 35 goals, as well as injuries to Savard, Sturm, and Krejci, the Bruins had the worst offense in the NHL. Now this season, through five games, last season looks an awful lot like a distant memory, with the team being in the top 10 in the league in many categories, including goals/game, goals allowed/game, plus/minus, PP%, and PK%. To add to that the line of Krejci (6 pts), Horton (7 pts), and Lucic (6 pts), have been one of the most productive lines in the NHL, and TT has 133 saves on 136 shots through 4 games. If they continue this roll, and stay healthy, this team is going to be very hard to beat, especially come playoff time with all their depth, especially at the blue line.
