As 'The Great One,' Gretzky has seen and experienced it all in the world of hockey, so he knows just how remarkable this Bruins team is. But, he raises an important question: Will their impressive season ultimately be for naught if they don't clinch the Stanley Cup?
Since 2021, Gretzky has frequently contributed his insights as an analyst on the NHL on TNT panel, and he was on hand for the Bruins-Blues game this past Sunday. Joe Haggerty of Boston Hockey Now reported that Gretzky had high praise for the Bruins:
Yet, despite his admiration, Gretzky believes that it's "Cup or Bust" for Coach Jim Montgomery and his team this year:
Gretzky's point is well-taken, as it would be a massive letdown if this talented team fails to go the distance. However, the 2022-23 Bruins are tantalizingly close to making history, as they are only three wins and eight points away from becoming the BEST team the NHL has ever seen.
