We now know what the Boston Bruins roster will look like for opening night. What we don’t know, is what the Providence Bruins roster will look like with all the bodies the parent club has loaned to the AHL club.

Instead, I informed Mike, I would give it the answer it deserves here. And here we are. The pathContinue reading “The Road to the NHL Takes Many Turns”
Bruins Acquire Pavel Zacha from the Devils for Eric Haula
In a surprise (?) move, Boston Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney sent Eric Haula to the New Jersey Devils in exchange for Pavel Zacha. Interesting enough, both can play center or left wing.
