Bruins Must Set Realistic Expectations for Marchand
Brad Marchand , captain of the Boston Bruins, is one of the team’s most prolific scorers. This statement holds true regardless of the parameters set, even when considering the Bruins’ all-time goal and point-scorers. Marchand ranks fifth all-time in goal-scoring with 401 goals and he could surpass Rick Middleton (402) and Patrice Bergeron (427) next season, securing third place. He is also sixth in games played (1,029), seventh in assists (528) and fifth in points (929) in Bruins’ franchise history. In games played, he will likely surpass David Krejci (1,032) and general manager Don Sweeney (1,052), taking fourth place all-time. Despite these accolades, it’s important to set realistic expectations for Marchand heading into the 2024-25 season.
