Now, i don't claim to be a die hard bruins fan, i tune in when it suits me.

But, i would like to write some words of praise for this years squad. This years squad is saddled, as always, with a low payroll, a crappy owner, and low expectations.

But, unlike the previous bruins teams i've watched, one thing this team cannot be accused of is just showing up to punch the clock. This team plays for each other. If your going to try to be a instigator (im talking to you steve ott) you are going to have to deal with everybody wearing a B on thier uni, not just the guy you ticked off.

they also go hard eery night, no matter who the other team is, they play tough and physical night in and night out.

That, to me, makes this team enjoyable, they may not win every game, but they will fight every minute of every game.

And, in my sports teams, I'll take that anyday.

Whats everyone else's read on this years bruins squad?

I agree, this is a very fun team to watch and cheer for.  They play hard, they stick up for each other, and they have some excellent young talent. 

I am not that familiar with other teams young cores, but I have a feeling there are not many teams with a group of young forwards as talented (and productive so early in their career) as the B's with Bergeron, Kessel (who looks like a superstar so far this year), Wheeler, Lucic (who could singlehandedly make the B's popular again), and Kreiji.

And the best part is, unlike the young teams C's fans are used to, these guys are winning right now, and playing hockey the way it is supposed to be played.
