When the season began, I was doing these once a week. It became a lot of work so I paused the weekly breakdown.

DECISION LOOMS FOR BRUINS GM DON SWEENEY
Depth. It’s something every National Hockey League General Manager requires because you never know when injuries will occur. And with COVID-19, that requirement is compounded. It’s no different for Boston Bruins GM Don Sweeney. And he will soon need to make a decision on defenceman John Moore. The Bruins have already lost defenceman Jakob ZborilContinue reading “DECISION LOOMS FOR BRUINS GM DON SWEENEY”
BOSTON BRUINS MONDAY MORNING PROSPECT UPDATE WEEK ENDING JANUARY 2, 2022
On this day, the plan was to have a podcast that included Brett Harrison and Ryan Mast. I was setting it up with the Oshawa Generals and the Sarnia Sting respectively.

RUMOR: RASK AND BRUINS REACH AN AGREEMENT
Odd that I would call it a rumor since it was my tweet that sent Twitter into a frenzy yesterday. I just couldn’t come up with a better title.

IF THE ARIZONA COYOTES ARE GOING TO MOVE JAKOB CHYCHRUN, DO THE BRUINS HAVE THE WEAPONS?
Hard to imagine that Arizona Coyotes General Manage Bill Armstrong would move a bona fide top pairing defenceman such as Jakob Chychrun. If you’re a Boston Bruins fan, dreaming a top-4 in a couple of years of Chychrun, Charlie McAvoy, Brandon Carlo and Mason Lohrei has got to have you salivating more than any presentContinue reading “IF THE ARIZONA COYOTES ARE GOING TO MOVE JAKOB CHYCHRUN, DO THE BRUINS HAVE THE WEAPONS?”
