Marek stated,
«Let's be honest, you can't expect to return as the same team. Losing Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci means you won't be anywhere near where you were,» Marek mentioned while chatting with co-host Elliotte Friedman. «But I'm not ready to write off the Boston Bruins like some people are, saying this is a disaster; if teams like Detroit, Buffalo, or Ottawa are making strides, it's those teams that will feel the impact. The Bruins have a knack for finding solutions. I get it's tough. Charlie Coyle and Pavel Zacha as your top two centers raise questions. And you wonder how other players who teamed up with, especially Bergeron, will fare now that Bergeron and Krejci are absent.» Marek emphasized. «Still, there's a lot of talent on that team – their defense, goalies, David Pastrnak – there's plenty of talent.»
