Has Anyone Seen Casper the Friendly Ghost?
The comic book character of the 50’s and televisions friendliest ghost from the 60’s and 70’s is not who I am really looking for. No, its Casper Nassen, the Boston Bruins 7th round pick -214th overall- at the 2023 National Hockey League Entry Draft.

Should the Bruins Acquire Nikita Zadorov?
By now you know disgruntled Calgary Flames defenceman Nikita Zadorov has requested a trade. There are two questions to be asked here: First, will Bruins GM Don Sweeney make a phone call?

Understanding the Jonathan Myrenberg Extension in the SHL
On October 27, 2022, the Boston Bruins traded Jack Studnicka to the Vancouver Canucks for Goaltender Michael DiPietro and prospect Jonathan Myrenberg. I would venture to guess most Bruins fans had never heard of Myrenberg and took to the internet to find out more.
