The Hockey News: Boston’s ‘D’ party
:arrow: Zdeno Chara in the Big Big Summer
Glen Murray has been around enough reclamation projects to know when to bite his tongue.
The veteran right winger is tickled by off-season additions to the revamped Boston Bruins and feels they are significantly better than the team that skated off the ice April 15 in Atlanta, out of the playoffs, but he’s not about to start shouting it from the top of Beacon Hill.
Not this time. The Bruins have a new, more realistic motto: No Promises.
Sure, the Bruins are optimistic about the acquisition of 6-foot-9 defenseman Zdeno Chara. Why wouldn’t they be? Chara, formerly of the Ottawa Senators, was considered by many to be the best available unrestricted free agent. He joins the Bruins along with center Marc Savard, who was ninth in league scoring last season, as well as checking winger Shean Donovan and veteran defender Paul Mara. And there is a feeling the team made a wise pick in choosing young executive Peter Chiarelli as its new GM and Dave Lewis as the new coach.
Murray likes what he sees; yet he remains cautious.
“We learned one thing last season,” Murray says. “People talked about us being a contender, but you’re never a contender until you make it into the playoffs and get by the first two or three rounds. You can have a great team on paper and I know this has happened to a lot of teams, but until you start playing and you gel, you don’t have anything. This year we’re going to take it one step at a time, we’ll gel together and hopefully get into the playoffs.”
Last year was an unmitigated disaster. Even though the Bruins were knocked out of the playoffs in the opening round the previous three seasons, some optimists went as far as suggesting the Bruins had what it takes to make it to the Stanley Cup final.
They were positioned nicely heading into the salary cap era, with only a handful of players under contract and were poised to make a splash in the free agent market. But optimism quickly gave way to reality and a season of promise was soon one of bitter disappointment.
Among the newcomers who were supposed to lead Boston to glory were defenseman Brian Leetch and forwards Brad Isbister, Tom Fitzgerald, Shawn McEachern, Dave Scatchard and Alexei Zhamnov. With the exception of Leetch, who is in the late innings of an excellent career, that is not the most impressive cavalry ever assembled.
GM Mike O’Connell came under fire so he did what many GMs do under pressure, he laid it at the feet of his team’s best player: Joe Thornton. In one of the worst trades ever, the Bruins sent Thornton to San Jose for defenseman Brad Stuart, Marco Sturm and Wayne Primeau. O’Connell decided he would trade Thornton out of the conference, and in doing so eliminated 14 potential trading partners en route to being fleeced. All Thornton did was lead the NHL in scoring and win the Hart Trophy as the NHL’s most valuable player.
