## Resource

🎙️The Boston Bruins may be out of the playoffs, but the biggest questions surrounding the organization are only getting louder. In this episode, we break down the Bruins’ end-of-season press conference, Cam Neely and Don Sweeney’s comments about the future of the Bruins roster, and the growing frustration around Boston’s No. 1 center problem. We also discuss David Pastrnak’s emotional Behind the B locker room moment and what it reveals about leadership inside the Bruins organization. Plus: Carolina looks terrifying, Buffalo and Montreal continue battling in the NHL playoffs, and we evaluate whether Boston’s season was a success despite another first-round exit. This episode features Boston Bruins analysis, Bruins news, NHL playoff discussion, Bruins player analysis, and Boston hockey updates as the offseason begins.
