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.

Prior to the 2020-2021 season, the questions surrounding the Bruins blueline was “who is going to replace Zdeno Chara and Torey Krug?” As it turns out, the defensemen held their own, especially with the injury plagued season and it was well above average after the arrival of Mike Reilly at trade deadline.
