Biggest Surprises and Disappointments this Season

Evan Marinofsky of the New England Hockey Journal joins Conor Ryan to take a step back and look at this season in its entirety thus far, and name their biggest surprises and letdowns of the season. The Bruins have continued to get help from unexpected places, and have a few key players they are waiting for major contribution from. Plus, what to expect from this team as the playoffs approach. That, and much more!

Topics:

– Are we surprised the Bruins are this good again?

– What’s been the biggest positive surprise this season?

– Biggest disappointment?

– The Bruins have a bunch of unsung heroes

– Is it time to re-adjust playoff expectations?
