Boston Bruins Monday Morning Prospect Update Week Ending: February 19, 2022

Some of the Bruins brass were visible in the OHL last week. Obviously, they are doing some prep work for the 2023 NHL Entry Draft, but also, Matthew Poitras and Jackson Edward are looking to sign Entry Level Contracts. But I ask myself whether they are keeping tabs on Development Camp invitee James Hardie ofContinue reading “Boston Bruins Monday Morning Prospect Update Week Ending: February 19, 2022”

As Trade Deadline Approaches, Who Are the Boston Bruins Potential Trade Pieces

Trade deadline day is a little over three weeks away, the Bruins are in the midst of their bye-week and the phone lines are busy around the league. As in just about every other year, the Bruins are always linked to multiple players, even when it doesn’t make sense whatsoever. But hey, it’s that timeContinue reading “As Trade Deadline Approaches, Who Are the Boston Bruins Potential Trade Pieces”

They Said the Bruins Start Was Not Sustainable

Allow me to back track a bit because the title is not entirely fitting. It has more to do with some (a lot) of the negativity towards the Bruins 16-2-0 start and the next 18 games. So, let’s head back to the beginning. We all know the story, or we should by now. It wasContinue reading “They Said the Bruins Start Was Not Sustainable”

How The Bruins Got Cap Compliant

The National Hockey League salary cap has its issues when calculating it. Actually, keeping track of the salary cap is pretty simple with a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. It’s when teams are using Long Term Injury Reserve that it will take careful navigating for those doing it at home. I missed the boat on this oneContinue reading “How The Bruins Got Cap Compliant”

Wednesday Mailbag November 23, 2022

These mailbags are always so much fun. I don’t pretend to have all the answers, but I enjoy sharing my opinion. @bruinscoverage via Twitter asks: Despite this Bruins team looking really good, would you say that there needs to be a trade or two to help strengthen it? Especially since we need to be atContinue reading “Wednesday Mailbag November 23, 2022”

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 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”
