Could the Bruins and Habs Finally Be Trade Partners?

Tomorrow marks an anniversary of sorts. It will be 21 years and 11 months since the Boston Bruins consummated a trade with the Montreal Canadiens when Boston sent defenceman Patrick Travers to Montreal for defenceman Eric Weinrich. It was the first deal between the two hated rivals since 1964. It’s understandable why they didn’t tradeContinue reading “Could the Bruins and Habs Finally Be Trade Partners?”

Seattle Kraken Claim Karson Kuhlman from Waiver Wire

The inevitable finally happened. General Manager Don Sweeney placed Karson Kuhlman on waivers and 24 hours later, the Seattle Kraken claimed the winger. I say it was inevitable because the Bruins had too many bodies. The emergence of Oskar Steen and the fact that Coach Bruce Cassidy had more faith in Steen, someone had toContinue reading “Seattle Kraken Claim Karson Kuhlman from Waiver Wire”

Do the WHL and OHL Trade Deadline Moves Have an Impact on Two Bruins Prospects?

Both The Western Hockey League and Ontario Hockey League trade deadlines have come and gone and both the Vancouver Giants (WHL) and Oshawa Generals (OHL) have made some deals that could potentially have a positive or negative impact on Boston Bruins prospects Fabian Lysell and Brett Harrison. Now, I’m not here to give you videoContinue reading “Do the WHL and OHL Trade Deadline Moves Have an Impact on Two Bruins Prospects?”

BOSTON BRUINS MONDAY MORNING PROSPECT UPDATE WEEK ENDING JANUARY 16, 2022

Last week I touched on one of the lesser talked about prospects in Quinn Olsen so I thought I’d give a quick update. He leads Minnesota-Duluth in assists, points, shots and penalty minutes. Of the top-10 scoring forwards on his team, he has the worst shooting percentage at just 6.1% and probably explains why heContinue reading “BOSTON BRUINS MONDAY MORNING PROSPECT UPDATE WEEK ENDING JANUARY 16, 2022”

They Have to Stay in the Lineup Don’t You Think?

I’m talking about Anton Blidh, Oskar Steen and Urho Vaakanainen. Although it’s been limited timing for Steen and Vaakanainen, one could argue that none of the trio has done anything to warrant being taken out of the lineup. And the team is winning which makes changing anything a very difficult decision. Vaakanainen didn’t have hisContinue reading “They Have to Stay in the Lineup Don’t You Think?”

Making His Case: Urho Vaakanainen

I am no rockets scientist. Heck, I didn’t even finish college. But even if I had, I don’t believe I’d be able to explain why Boston Bruins Defenceman Urho Vaakanainen has performed so well at the NHL level, yet in the AHL he leaves you wanting more. That’s not to say Vaakanainen has not shownContinue reading “Making His Case: Urho Vaakanainen”

WITH RASK SIGNED, WHAT IS THE BRUINS CAP SITUATION?

With Tuukka Rask inking a contract with the Bruins, I have been flooded with questions about how that has affected the Bruins cap situation. There’s a lot of information out there saying it’s not good, but yours truly says it is. First and foremost, you have to understand the numbers you are looking at andContinue reading “WITH RASK SIGNED, WHAT IS THE BRUINS CAP SITUATION?”
