While for Patrice Bergeron, Brad Marchand, David Pastrnak and Charlie McAvoy it would, to put it bluntly, suck, it could open up the door for some prospects to attend the Olympics. While the NHL has made it clear it does not want the players to attend, Commissioner Gary Bettman has left the decision up toContinue reading “IF THE NHL PASSES ON THE OLYMPICS, COULD WE SEE SOME BRUINS PROSPECTS GO?”

WHAT’S JAKE DeBRUSK’S TIMETABLE NOW?
Everyone knows Jake DeBrusk and his camp have asked for a trade, but with all that is happening now with the Boston Bruins, when could we finally see a deal come to fruition? The Bruins have several players out due to COVID-19 protocol and would anyone be surprised to see more players added to theContinue reading “WHAT’S JAKE DeBRUSK’S TIMETABLE NOW?”
WHATEVER HAPPENED TO
You’re probably wondering why I am doing a “whatever happened to” about a player who is still Boston Bruins property. It’s true that he remains Bruins’ property, but we will probably never see him in the Spoked B again. I’m talking about 2013 third round pick Peter Cehlarik – the 90th pick in his draftContinue reading “WHATEVER HAPPENED TO”
SO, YOU’RE LOOKING FOR A LOOPHOLE TO BRING DAVID KREJCI BACK?
If you haven’t read my Wednesday Mailbag from last week, it might help to read it first so I don’t have to rehash it all over again here. Even if you don’t read it in its entirety, it might help to read the question about David Krejci. You can find it here. Ever since IContinue reading “SO, YOU’RE LOOKING FOR A LOOPHOLE TO BRING DAVID KREJCI BACK?”
GAUGING THE BRUINS DEFENCE ONE WEEK AT A TIME NOVEMBER 28, 2021
Well, Boston Bruins Head Coach Bruce Cassidy went with the defensive pairings I was hoping to see at some point Wednesday evening against the Buffalo Sabres. And he kept them together throughout the game. Cassidy paired Matt Grzelcyk and Charlie McAvoy on the top unit, although as the three pairs went, they received the leastContinue reading “GAUGING THE BRUINS DEFENCE ONE WEEK AT A TIME NOVEMBER 28, 2021”
GAUGING THE BRUINS DEFENCE ONE WEEK AT A TIME NOVEMBER 21, 2021
Don’t look now but the Boston Bruins are playing hockey! In each of the previous weeks I talked about the lack of games the Bruins have played and the effect it has had on not just the defence, but the team as a whole. Let’s face it. You can’t replicate games during practice and playersContinue reading “GAUGING THE BRUINS DEFENCE ONE WEEK AT A TIME NOVEMBER 21, 2021”
GAUGING THE BRUINS DEFENCE ONE WEEK AT A TIME NOVEMBER: 14, 2021
Last Thursday, the Boston Bruins faced off against Connor McDavid and the Edmonton Oilers and there is only one way to describe the Boston blueline as a group: It was a total shit show. There. I said it. You can agree or disagree, but I have no other way of describing it. Blown leads, badContinue reading “GAUGING THE BRUINS DEFENCE ONE WEEK AT A TIME NOVEMBER: 14, 2021”
WEDNESDAY MAILBAG NOVEMBER 10 2022
Randy via email asks: My question relates to the B’s defence. My concern is lack of physicality other than Charlie. Nice to see Brandon step up with some solid hits last game. Teams are not intimidated in our zone. Reilly and especially Grzelcyk really worry me. Not so much in regular season but come playoffContinue reading “WEDNESDAY MAILBAG NOVEMBER 10 2022”
GAUGING THE BOSTON BRUINS DEFENSE ONE WEEK AT A TIME NOVEMBER 7, 2021
I have no clue on where to begin. But here we are. There’s no point in breaking down the defense against Detroit because, well, they are the Red Wings. But if there’s one conclusion to come out of that game as well as the Saturday night contest with the Toronto Maple Leafs is that CoachContinue reading “GAUGING THE BOSTON BRUINS DEFENSE ONE WEEK AT A TIME NOVEMBER 7, 2021”
NICK FOLIGNO POSSIBLE FOR THURSDAY
Coach Bruce Cassidy announced today that Nick Foligno, out with an upper body injury, could get into the lineup Thursday against the Edmonton Oilers if cleared by the medical staff. Foligno has been on injured reserve since October 24, 2021. Once moved to the active list, that will put the Bruins up to 24 playersContinue reading “NICK FOLIGNO POSSIBLE FOR THURSDAY”
