Why is Boston such a good organization?

2017 NHL ASG. I went to a red carpet kindof thing for kids before the athlete media sessions. Player after player signed a couple autographs or did a fly by (McDavid, MacKinnon, Ovechkin, etc). Crosby to his defense did say to his pr person that he was upset they didnt tell him to come down sooner so he could sign for all the kids.

Bergeron, Rask, and Marchand stopped for every single kid and every single picture.

The NHL rep who was with us told us stories of how amazing Bruins players are with anything for the league or charity and some specifics of players who suck (Karlsson was the one vivid story I remember).

After getting blanked out by the Flyers of all teams, it's becoming more and more profound that the Bruins will be steering head first towards a SOLID decade of mediocrity for the foreseeable future. Marchand's best days are f***ing behind him sadly, and Sweeney's bitch ass is 100% on the clock this season. Who knows if McAvoy is still able to hold it down on the backend and Pasta is Pasta.

What a run this team had especially with the lack of Top 5/10 draft picks that was missing from their roster which most cup contenders commonly have. This is a BIG factor that I don't think a lot of people realize and it arguably makes their run 100x IMPRESSIVE compared to those tank and blow it all up cores. Their the perfect example of a team that drafted well and managed to retool on the fly with the right moves just to be back in solid contention for 7+ years. 2015 probably did cost them at least 1 more ring, but nonetheless. Attaining Bergeron, Krejci and Marchand all in the 2nd-3rd rounds of their respective draft is bonkers.

This team with that core was able to accomplish 3 President Trophies, GOAT Regular Season Record, 1 Cup win, 3 Finals appearances and a solid bunch of Division Titles. Their the 4th best team of the CAP ERA 100%
