Bruins in Ruins: Fantastic Season Followed by First-Round Flop

Florida had the best record / President's Trophy just last year. Yes they lost Huberdeau but upgraded to Tkachuk. Weegar was a big loss but lots of teams lose a top 4 defenceman before the playoffs. They had good bones, so to speak, I thought they had a decent chance before the series especially since it was already known the Bruins had some important injuries.
