It’s the same thing every year: Trade deadline day is approaching in the National Hockey League and the Boston Bruins seem to be linked to everyone on someone’s trade board. We all know that General Manager Don Sweeney is as tight lipped as they come. Yes, I’ve nailed a Bruins trade or two in theContinue reading “Beware the Rumors as we Approach Trade Deadline”

This, That and the Other Thing
Periodically, I get an email asking a question and it is deserving of sharing with everyone. I admit, sometimes I am lazy and just answer the question and don’t give a second thought to sharing it with everyone. Other times, health gets in the way. So, yesterday I received the following question: Dom, I wasContinue reading “This, That and the Other Thing”
Bruins Prospect Needs to Rein it in
I have long been a fan of London Knights defenceman and Boston Bruins prospect Jackson Edward. But that doesn’t mean I can’t be critical when something happens that needs criticizing. And that is the point we are at. In a game on January 20th where the London Knights were battling the Kitchener Rangers for firstContinue reading “Bruins Prospect Needs to Rein it in”
Just How Streaky is Jake DeBrusk and What Will His Next Deal Look Like?
I have to begin by saying that I do not know what the definition of a streaky player is, nor could I find anyone who cared to even try and define it with some logic and sense anywhere. I am sure everyone has their own definition and as sure as the sky is blue, thereContinue reading “Just How Streaky is Jake DeBrusk and What Will His Next Deal Look Like?”
Should We Be Surprised by Alec Regula and His Defensive Domination?
I’ll ask again: Should we be surprised by Alec Regula and his defensive domination? The short answer is, yes. The much longer answer is, no. And yes, I will explain. When the Bruins acquired Regula from the Chicago Blackhawks along with Ian Mitchell for Taylor Hall and Nick Foligno, I wrote about how the HawksContinue reading “Should We Be Surprised by Alec Regula and His Defensive Domination?”
Making a Case for Mason Lohrei; Jake DeBrusk Awakening; Fabian Lysell Fighting?
It appears that most people would agree. At training camp, Mason Lohrei made the Bruins decision to send him to the Providence Bruins of the AHL a difficult one. There were some obvious things Lohrei needed to work on and appeared that the opportunities to work on those things would be in Providence. And ofContinue reading “Making a Case for Mason Lohrei; Jake DeBrusk Awakening; Fabian Lysell Fighting?”
The Curious Case of Jake DeBrusk
If you’re a goal scorer in the National Hockey League like Jake DeBrusk, you’d better be bringing something to the ice if you aren’t finding the back of the net. And DeBrusk has been struggling to bulge the twine with just one goal on the season. This is a contract year for DeBrusk and someContinue reading “The Curious Case of Jake DeBrusk”
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? Second, should Sweeney make a phone call? Question one is the easiest to answer, and that answer is yes. Even if it isContinue reading “Should the Bruins Acquire Nikita Zadorov?”
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. They soon found out that Myrenberg was considered one of theContinue reading “Understanding the Jonathan Myrenberg Extension in the SHL”
Making Sense of the Bruins Roster Juggling
Along came video games, SIM leagues, Fantasy Hockey Leagues and even live betting. With those came an increase in hockey fan’s desire for trades. And lots of them. Venture onto any hockey forum chat rooms and you’ll see proposals and even “wishful thinking” trades.
