I believe Cronin has the Bruins playing well enough to challenge for the B1G championship. I still believe their ceiling is high enough that the Bruins can eventually be in the conversation for the National Championship.
Of course a lot more has got to fall into place - more overall development, Andrews is going to have to find himself, no major injuries, and some luck for that to happen. But right now I think we can see that that could be a very real and distinct possibility.
Cronin has always proven to be a great developer of individuals and teams. This current team IMO is no exception. I think the B1G schedule is going to be a grind, but from what I've seen the last four games I think they are well up to the task. It should be a very interesting and entertaining last part of the season. I'm very much looking forward to see how the Bruins fare in B1G play.
