Nikita Zadorov and the Bruins’ Search for Identity | Ep. 101

Bruins Tape to Tape

🎙️ In this episode of Bruins Tape to Tape, Karoline and Maria revisit the most polarizing addition to the Bruins blue line: Nikita Zadorov. Was he really a bad pickup… or did he quietly become a leader on and off the ice? The hosts unpack his league-leading penalty minutes, shocking +25 plus-minus, and the intangible leadership he brought after the trade deadline.They also discuss how the Bruins' identity crisis last season impacts expectations for 2025, and how new head coach Marco Sturm could make or break Zadorov’s future in Boston. Will a clearer role unlock his full potential — or will the chaos continue?
