Sure the Bruins have great goaltending and defense, but they still need to score goals. See how it plays out, I don't see the Bruins coming out of the east this year. Repeats are pretty rare in the NHL.

I'm not to worried about offense. The Bruins have a history of struggling to get goals on "unknown" goalies. And they were tied for second in goals this season with the Flyers, as well as being top 5 in this category 3 of the last 4 years. They don't have the big-time scorers, but their depth is more or less unmatched. I mean they're still up 2-1 in the series despite their top 5 scorers this year combining for 1 total point. So much room to grow there.
Yeah, Pronger was a massive hit. A healthy Pronger is one of if not the best defenseman in the league (along with Chara and Weber).
