Which Bruins could REGRESS this season?
About this episode
Conor and Ty discuss which Bruins players may regress this season and highlight potential breakout candidates.
In this episode of Poke The Bear, Conor and Ty dig into one of the most important questions heading into the Bruins' season — which players are set up to take a step forward, and which ones might be due for a reality check? They run through the regression candidates on Boston's roster, the veterans who may have had career-best seasons that are tough to replicate, and why that matters for a team still trying to figure out its identity post-rebuild. On the flip side, they make the case for a handful of breakout candidates — younger players with something to prove and the opportunity to finally get consistent minutes. Whether you're optimistic or skeptical about where this Bruins team is headed, this episode gives you a realistic lens to evaluate the roster before puck drop.
