BOSTON BRUINS MONDAY MORNING PROSPECT UPDATE WEEK ENDING JANUARY 16, 2022

Last week I touched on one of the lesser talked about prospects in Quinn Olsen so I thought I’d give a quick update. He leads Minnesota-Duluth in assists, points, shots and penalty minutes. Of the top-10 scoring forwards on his team, he has the worst shooting percentage at just 6.1% and probably explains why heContinue reading “BOSTON BRUINS MONDAY MORNING PROSPECT UPDATE WEEK ENDING JANUARY 16, 2022”

Hope you all had a very Merry Christmas!! There isn’t a whole lot to report on thanks to the holidays.

Roman Bychkov is no longer onContinue reading “BOSTON BRUINS MONDAY MORNING PROSPECT UPDATE WEEK ENDING December 26, 2021”

IF THE NHL PASSES ON THE OLYMPICS, COULD WE SEE SOME BRUINS PROSPECTS GO?

While for Patrice Bergeron, Brad Marchand, David Pastrnak and Charlie McAvoy it would, to put it bluntly, suck, it could open up the door for some prospects to attend the Olympics. While the NHL has made it clear it does not want the players to attend, Commissioner Gary Bettman has left the decision up toContinue reading “IF THE NHL PASSES ON THE OLYMPICS, COULD WE SEE SOME BRUINS PROSPECTS GO?”

If you’ll allow me, this week I want to talk a little Mason Langenbrunner who, along with fellow Bruins’ prospect Andre Gasseau, is skating for the Fargo Force of the USHL.

John Beecher made a triumphant return from injury on Friday with a goal and a helper as Michigan Wolverines easily handled Michigan State Spartans 7-2. Beecher looked in mid-season form in his first game and the adrenaline was pumping. He had 4 shots on goal and was 8 for 10 on the dot. In Saturday’sContinue reading “BOSTON BRUINS MONDAY MORNING PROSPECT UPDATE WEEK ENDING NOVEMBER 7, 2021”

Yes, there are several players I haven’t touched on yet, but it is a long hockey season and I will get to them more than once throughout their hockey seasons. For now, I am circling back to Matias Mantykivi, the Bruins sixth round pick at the 2019 NHL Entry Draft. There were a handful ofContinue reading “BOSTON BRUINS MONDAY MORNING PROSPECT UPDATE WEEK ENDING: OCTOBER 31, 2021”

It was November of 2017. I had some extra time that season so, I thought I would spend all those extra hours scouring the Ontario Junior Hockey League to see if anyone piqued my interest. On that cold November night in Pickering Ontario, I came across a 17-year-old defenseman playing for the Pickering Panthers. AsContinue reading “BOSTON BRUINS MONDAY MORNING PROSPECT UPDATE WEEK ENDING OCTOBER 24, 2021”
