Bruins bashing - The Fans Speak Out

Hockey Digest, Jan, 2003 by Elliott Marquis

I just read your predictions in the November issue. I'm a big hockey fan, and the predictions were good, but I disagreed with you on a few things. There's no way the Bruins are going to finish fourth in the Northeast Division. People act like Bill Guerin was the whole team, and Bryon Dafoe single-handedly lost us the playoff series vs.

the Canadiens last year. I think the B's will finish first and maybe even make the Eastern semis. As for your Atlantic Division predictions: the Rangers are still going to be horrible and the Devils will finish first or second, not fourth. Finally, I think this will be a great year for the Coyotes, maybe event the year they make it to the Cup.
