They Have to Stay in the Lineup Don’t You Think?
I’m talking about Anton Blidh, Oskar Steen and Urho Vaakanainen. Although it’s been limited timing for Steen and Vaakanainen, one could argue that none of the trio has done anything to warrant being taken out of the lineup. And the team is winning which makes changing anything a very difficult decision. Vaakanainen didn’t have hisContinue reading “They Have to Stay in the Lineup Don’t You Think?”
WITH RASK SIGNED, WHAT IS THE BRUINS CAP SITUATION?
With Tuukka Rask inking a contract with the Bruins, I have been flooded with questions about how that has affected the Bruins cap situation. There’s a lot of information out there saying it’s not good, but yours truly says it is. First and foremost, you have to understand the numbers you are looking at andContinue reading “WITH RASK SIGNED, WHAT IS THE BRUINS CAP SITUATION?”
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: 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”
GAUGING THE BRUINS DEFENSE ONE WEEK AT A TIME OCTOBER 31, 2021
Let me start by continuing were I left off last week: Shot attempts versus shots on goal. I am beginning here because it is an area where Coach Bruce Cassidy wanted an improvement on and while successful in the early part of the season despite not showing up on the scoreboard, the blueliners took aContinue reading “GAUGING THE BRUINS DEFENSE ONE WEEK AT A TIME OCTOBER 31, 2021”
GAUGING THE BRUINS DEFENSE ONE WEEK AT A TIME OCT 24, 2022
There’s been a subtle little difference in how the Boston Bruins blue liners operate this season and the credit goes to Coach Bruce Cassidy. And unless you are looking for it, you will barely notice. The defenders are a little quicker at retrieving pucks than the 13 defensemen Cassidy was forced to use due toContinue reading “GAUGING THE BRUINS DEFENSE ONE WEEK AT A TIME OCT 24, 2022”
A LOOK AT THE BRUINS BLUELINE FOLLOWING THEIR EXHIBITION SCHEDULE
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. Enter the 2021-2022Continue reading “A LOOK AT THE BRUINS BLUELINE FOLLOWING THEIR EXHIBITION SCHEDULE”
