Let’s begin with the NCAA. Hockey East Riley Duran missed Wednesday’s First Round Hockey East matchup against New Hampshire with his ongoing injury. However, Philip Svedeback did his part stopping 22 of 23 shots in a thrilling 2-1 overtime victory over UNH.

Some of the Bruins brass were visible in the OHL last week.

I am periodically asked how I set my expectations for a player at the start of the season. Well, there are two things. First, I watch what some might say is too much hockey.

I am going to start this week off by going in a different direction. Some of you have probably heard me discuss this in the past.
