I don't see them getting 55 games out of Thomas either. I just don't.

All good points ... just judging last nights performance and I'm old school when it comes to hockey anyways ... back checking will determine this teams success. They cannont expect Marc Savard, Charra and Thomas to carry the team. Without a big time scorer they will need 3 good lines to win 6o+ games because I don't see them having the 1 big line to dominate vs even average teams.
I love my hockey and the Bruins either way ... so I'm hopefull someone (well 2 people minimum) pick up the slack for Kessel being gone.
Patrice Bergeron could resume what he started 2 years ago ... that will also be key.
