let's get real the main reason the bruins had a great regular season was goal tending.
the only reason they made it as far as they did in the playoffs was, you guessed it, goal tending.
doesn't matter to much for us now as our core is gonna be to darn close to 40 next season. sure lightning can be caught in a bottle but we are a middle of the pack team now. It's why i was sooo pissed when Jarry single handedly lost that series against the islanders, and pissed that we just couldn't get a save against the Rags the next year. We have someone like Swayman in either of those runs I'm certain we get out of the first round, and pretty sure we'd make it out of the second as well. meh doesn't matter now. goal tending can't do it all for you, look at the bruins, but it covers up a lot of warts.
