SAD NEWS: After quarrelling with the head coach star player makes shocking announcement today….
That’s a wrap for the 2023-2024 Boston Bruins. Their season came to an end Friday night in heartbreaking fashion with a 2-1 Game 6 loss to the Florida Panthers at TD Garden.
The game was tied 1-1 until just 1:33 remained in the third period, when Gustav Forsling went five-hole on Jeremy Swayman to put Florida on top 2-1.
The puck somehow made it by both Parker Wotherspoon and Swayman, stunning the Bruins and the a sellout crowd at TD Garden.
The Boston Bruins are expected to have a very busy summer.
Due to several contracts expiring, they will have a lot of money to work with.
After a successful bridge year in 2023-24, they will surely push to improve their roster.
When it comes to adding talent, their primary goal will be to bring in a first-line center.
While Charlie Coyle and Pavel Zacha each had strong years, there is still no question that they would benefit greatly by adding a true 1C to their group.
Friedman noted that the Bruins not only pursued Lindholm before he was dealt to the Canucks this season but have also been interested in him for a long time.
With Lindholm potentially hitting the market and the Bruins having money, now is the perfect time for Boston to strike.
Lindholm, 29. had a down regular season in 2023-24, posting 15 goals and 44 points in 75 games.
However, he has since picked up his play big-time this postseason, recording five goals and nine points in 12 games thus far.
