Your Boston Bruins have reached the halfway point of their season and it’s been a half season for the record books. I don’t think anyone expected this but if they did, I’d like to shake their hand.

DeBrusk to Miss Four Weeks: Bruins Utilize LTIR
The Boston Bruins announced that Winter Classic Hero and first line right wing Jake DeBrusk could miss 4 weeks. The Bruins immediately placed DeBrusk on LTIR and recalled Chris Wagner from Providence. It must be noted that the Bruins did not have the cap space to recall Wagner, or anyone else if not for theContinue reading “DeBrusk to Miss Four Weeks: Bruins Utilize LTIR”

Happy New Year everyone! I hope 2023 brings you good health and happiness. We are unofficially into the second half of the season so I thought this would be a good time to do some player grades on the season to date.

They Said the Bruins Start Was Not Sustainable
Allow me to back track a bit because the title is not entirely fitting. It has more to do with some (a lot) of the negativity towards the Bruins 16-2-0 start and the next 18 games. So, let’s head back to the beginning. We all know the story, or we should by now. It wasContinue reading “They Said the Bruins Start Was Not Sustainable”
Are the Bruins Shopping for Cap Space?
That’s the million-dollar question and the easy answer is, yes. And They have been since the offseason. They’ve known for sometime they’d be in this situation – coming into the new year, no cap space and the need to set yourself up for trade deadline day. And let’s not forget the massive bonus overage penaltyContinue reading “Are the Bruins Shopping for Cap Space?”
Will the Real Pavel Zacha Please Stand Up
I for one was excited when the Boston Bruins traded Eric Haula for Pavel Zacha. Many Bruins fans however were not and it’s probably because they listened to too many New Jersey Devils fans on hockey message boards about the type of player Zacha was for them. In fairness to those Devils fans though, IContinue reading “Will the Real Pavel Zacha Please Stand Up”

The Resurgence of Brandon Carlo Will Only Pay Dividends
One could make the argument that over the last few games, Brandon Carlo has been the Bruins steadiest and most consistent blueliner and it wouldn’t be off base. We’re watching Carlo be more assertive offensively by jumping into the play more often, recognizing when to be the late man coming into the play, making someContinue reading “The Resurgence of Brandon Carlo Will Only Pay Dividends”

When it comes to prospects, I suppose the question I am asked most often is “when are the Bruins going to sign Luke Toporowski?” The answer is more complicated than not and you’d have to think that if he were in another organization, he would have an NHL deal. Toporowski is an alumnus of anContinue reading “Boston Bruins Monday Morning Prospect Update Week Ending: December 18, 2022”
