This has been a legendary and historic NHL season. The Boston Bruins<\/a> grew to become the winningest common season crew of all time, whereas Connor McDavid transcended his personal constant dominance to grow to be the primary participant to register 150+ factors since Mario Lemieux in 1995-96.<\/p>\n

These 2022-23 Stanley Cup<\/a> Playoffs are the top of an period too. This is the primary time since 2007-08 that the playoffs received\u2019t function Sidney Crosby and Alexander Ovechkin, with the Penguins and Capitals getting squeezed out within the Metropolitan Division. <\/p>\n

Obviously, the Bruins are the odds-on favourite to hoist the cup this yr, however lest we overlook how unpredictable playoff hockey could be. A yr in the past, the 58-win Florida Panthers<\/a> seemed unstoppable, earlier than getting bounced 4-0 by the Tampa Bay Lightning<\/a>. Boston will hope to keep away from the identical destiny and push away the mammoth weight of expectation on their shoulders. <\/p>\n
