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”
The Bruins Waive Craig Smith
The Boston Bruins placed sometimes fourth line winger/sometimes thirteenth forward Craig Smith on waivers on Sunday. The 33-year-old is set to become an unrestricted free agent at the end of this season. The Bruins have tried on a few occasions to trade Smith but have been unable to close a deal. Every team that wouldContinue reading “The Bruins Waive Craig Smith”
Boston’s Darlings
The Boston Bruins are off to a 16-2-0 start, 11-0-0 at home – the only unblemished team at home remaining and ties an NHL record, have yet to lose after scoring the opening goal of the game (12-0-0), are the second (only?) team in NHL history to win 16 of their first 18 games (1929-30Continue reading “Boston’s Darlings”
Boston Bruins: What is Sustainable?
During the offseason, there were many questions facing the Boston Bruins. Was Patrice Bergeron going to return? How about David Krejci? Once those questions were answered the focus was on how the Bruins would fare with injuries to Matt Grzelcyk, Brad Marchand and Charlie McAvoy to start the season. If you listened to many ofContinue reading “Boston Bruins: What is Sustainable?”
McAvoy Activated; Bruins Buy Some Time
The Boston Bruins did some cap maneuvering Thursday which just delayed the inevitable. Earlier I wrote about what it would take in order for the Boston Bruins to activate Charlie McAvoy from Long Term Injury Reserve as the Bruins inched closer to a healthy roster. Unfortunately for the Bruins, Derek Forbort suffered a broken finger.Continue reading “McAvoy Activated; Bruins Buy Some Time”
Bruins Sign Mitchell Miller to Entry Level Contract
Are you ready for this? Seriously, if you’ve been away from social media all day, you’d better sit down for this one. The Boston Bruins announced they have signed renounced Arizona Coyotes draft pick Mitchell Miller, who assaulted, bullied and abused a Black Classmate, to an Entry Level Contract. Bruins fans get accused of beingContinue reading “Bruins Sign Mitchell Miller to Entry Level Contract”
Let’s Make a Deal
Matt Grzelcyk, Jake DeBrusk, Brandon Carlo, Brad Marchand; all have missed some time due to injury this season and Coach Jim Montgomery hasn’t really been forthcoming with information about their expected returns as we might have expected. It’s been like trying to decipher, well, me at times. So, I ask; What about Charlie McAvoy? ProbablyContinue reading “Let’s Make a Deal”
Bruins Inch Closer to a Healthy Roster
If you had told me at the start of the season that the Boston Bruins would be 8-1 through the first nine games of the season, I would have gladly taken that while telling you that “you are off your rocker.” Hockey prognosticators were telling us that if they could remain slightly above hockey .500Continue reading “Bruins Inch Closer to a Healthy Roster”
Bruins Trade Studnicka for DiPietro and Myrenberg
No matter which side of the picket fence you sat on – the one that believed Jack Studnicka wasn’t given a fair opportunity in Boston or the one that thinks he is not an NHL player – you are about to venture on the hockey journey where you can say “I was right” or beContinue reading “Bruins Trade Studnicka for DiPietro and Myrenberg”
