David Krejci
16 Seasons in the National Hockey League. 16 Seasons with the Boston Bruins.
Any player who stays that type of duration with one team regardless of the sport shows that he or she is very competent and very happy. The Bruins had that in David Krejci.
Krejci was a 2nd Round Pick in 2004 but honed his skills in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League before he joined the Bruins in 2016. After a brief period in the AHL, Krejci proved his value quickly, leading the NHL in Plus /Minus (+37) in 2008-09, when he also boasted a career-high 73 Points. Krejci never broke that mark, but he did match it in 2018-19 and had four other years where he broke at least 60. Krejci also had a second Plus/Minus Title (+39) in 2013-14).
Where Krejci shined brightest was in the NHL post-season. Krejci was the leading scorer in the 2010-11 Playoffs (23) in the year where the Bruins won it all. He also was the leader in Game-Winning Goals with 4. He also was the league-leader in Playoff Points in 2012-13 (26) and also recorded the most Assists (17).
Overall, in the regular season, Krejci compiled 786 Points in 1,032 Games and was lauded for his two-way play and hockey IQ. Internationally, Krejci represented the Czech Republic multiple times, including three Olympics and won two Bronze Medals for his nation.
Krejci will not be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame, but we hope that the Bruins honor him one day.
Our All-Time Top 50 Boston Bruins have been revised to reflect the 2022/23 Season
Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity. As such, we are very happy to present our post 2022/23 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 not reflected in a stat sheet.
Last year, the Boston Bruins set a record with the most Points accumulated by a team, but they were stunned with a first round exit. Based on last season, we see a new entrant to the top five, with a few other fluctuations. There was also one new entrant.
As always, we present our top five, which saw a new number five:
1. Bobby Orr
2. Eddie Shore
3. Ray Bourque
You can find the entire list here.
The now retired Bergeron, who won his record Sixth Frank J. Selke Award last year, moved ahead of Milt Schmidt for the top five.
Three-time postseason All-Star, Brad Marchand, climbed to #11 from #14.
David Pastrnak, who was named a First Team All-Star last year, shot up thirteen places to #18.
David Krejci, who returned for one final season, advanced from #35 to #33.
Defenseman, Charlie McAvoy, is the lone debut. He enters at #36.
We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.
33. David Krejci
Krejci would play 15 seasons before he returned to his native Czech Republic to play for HC Olomouc, but that lasted one season befre he returned for one last campaigm in Boston. Overall, he had. a productive 786 Points in 1,032 Games.
