Making His Case: Urho Vaakanainen
I am no rockets scientist. Heck, I didn’t even finish college. But even if I had, I don’t believe I’d be able to explain why Boston Bruins Defenceman Urho Vaakanainen has performed so well at the NHL level, yet in the AHL he leaves you wanting more. That’s not to say Vaakanainen has not shownContinue reading “Making His Case: Urho Vaakanainen”

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.

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”
