Boston Bruins Suffer Verbal Beatdown as Gary Bettman Takes Aim in Recent Interview

The Boston Bruins enjoyed a fantastic season. They won the Presidents’ Trophy and set a new record for the most victories in a season in the NHL.

The Presidents’ Trophy is awarded to the NHL team with the most points. In recent years, it has become clear that winning this trophy does not guarantee success in the postseason.

The Florida Panthers won it the previous year but were quickly eliminated.

The Bruins experienced the same situation this year.

In a shocking statement, Bettman discussed the Bruins’ early playoff exit.

“I think we’re learning that winning the Presidents’ Trophy isn’t such a good thing. Look at the Boston Bruins! With the exceptional year they had during the regular season, who would’ve thought they would’ve been knocked out the way they did?”

It merely serves as further evidence that the postseason is entirely different from the regular season and that underdogs should never be taken for granted.

I grew up playing Ball and Roller Hockey day and night somewhat religiously throughout elementary and middle school. The two don't compare though when I lace up the skates and hit the ice. I live and breathe hockey beyond the perspective of "it's just a game" and I will gladly talk hockey for hours with anyone. Hockey is more than just a lifestyle, it's a culture of passionate people who make memories every time the puck is dropped. Hockey has not only helped me get through some of the hardest times in life but has created some of the best memories to date. Want to talk hockey with me?
