5 reasons why Boston Bruins will win Stanley Cup

1. The best line in hockey

The Bruins have the NHL’s best top line. Watching Marchand, Bergeron and Pastrnak play together is like watching Leonardo Da Vinci paint (presumably). These three know each other so well that they are often making passes not to each other, but to the spots their linemates will be in. They play the game with telepathy.

Despite both Bergeron and Marchand missing multiple games this season, each player on the B’s top line is over 30 goals and a point per game average. Marchand leads the three with 34 goals and 51 assists in 68 games. He’s a plus-26 and has the league’s third highest points per game average, with 1.27. Marchand also leads the league in overtime goals, with five.

The top line has combined for 99 goals and 129 assists this season. They have no shortage of highlights during the tear they are on this season. Here’s but one example of how good these three play together:

When the Bruins won the Stanley Cup in 2011, Marchand and Bergeron were a huge reason for their success. The experience they carry, along with Pastrnak’s skill and ability makes them almost too great to fail.
