NHL'S MOST Popular Jerseys! Where Do Boston Bruins RANK?
10-Brad Marchand
I think he’s be higher after they win the cup.
Marchand has long been one of the league’s most polarizing figures, but in Boston he has always been revered. He once again sits above a point per game and slots in perfectly with Patrice Bergeron on one of the best two-way lines in NHL history.
9-Kirill Kaprizov-Minnesota Wild
I’d want this guy on my side in a street fight.
8-Cale Makar-Colorado Avalanche
Not exactly the chill of the Rocky’s
7-David Pastrnak-Bruins
Higher, when we win!
Two Boston Bruins make their way onto the top 10 as David Pastrnak checks in at seventh and Brad Marchand is currently 10th. The Bruins have vaulted to the top of the league with a historically great season and fans are showing their appreciation by supporting the team and its top players
6-Nathan MacKinnon-Colorado Avalanche
“You didn’t buy this jersey yet?”
5-Patrick Kane-New York Rangers
4-Auston Matthews-Toronto Maple Leafs
3-Sidney Crosby-Pittsburgh Penguins
2-Conner McDavid-Edmonton Oilers
Edmonton Oilers superstar Connor McDavid is next on our list. He has had some incredible seasons, but this one has been a step above and his jersey will likely top lists for years to come.
1-Alex Ovechkin-Washington Capitols
Of course, he’s #1.
Alexander Ovechkin of the Capitals will likely hold the top spot this year, as his chase for the NHL all-time goal scoring record has rejuvenated fan interest and his recent passing of Gordie Howe for second all time on that list has fans fascinated with his performances.
