Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the top 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists and consistently look to update them when necessary and based on necessity. As such, we are delighted to present our post-2023-24 revision of our top 50 Boston Bruins.
As for all of our top 50 players in hockey, we look at the following:
1. Advanced Statistics.
2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Hockey League.
3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles that are not reflected in a stat sheet.
Last year, the Bruins had another outstanding regular season but only made it to the second round. With their talent, this was considered a disappointment. There were no new entrants and multiple elevations.
As always, we present our top five, which saw no changes:
1. Bobby Orr
2. Eddie Shore
3. Ray Bourque
4. Phil Esposito
5. Patrice Bergeron
You can find the entire list here.
Forward Brad Marchand, who had a good year, was unable to get past last season’s rank of #11.
David Pastrnak, who was a Second Team All-Star last season, advanced to #14 from #18.
Defenseman Charlie McAvoy edged up one spot to #35.
We thank you for your continued support of our lists on Notinhalloffame.com.
