From the first puck drop until the end of the regular season, the Boston Bruins were the best team in the Eastern Conference -- and it was not close. They won the Atlantic Division by 16 standings points and had a better goal differential than the next best team in the East, by 42. Boston's superstars had superstar seasons, bringing home the Vezina and Selke trophies and earning a Norris nomination to boot. Heading into the playoffs, they were the runaway favorites to represent the East. But the Bruins ran into a hot Montreal Canadiens team that knocked them out of the second round in seven games.
Boston heads into 2014-15 with a roster nearly identical to last season's and equally high expectations. With the Bruins' current core of talent still in its prime, it will be a disappointment if Boston walks away with anything less than the Stanley Cup.
