    Let's talk possible 1st round opponents

    With the B's victory tonight, they earn the point they need to be the last team in the East to clinch a playoff spot. The Capitals, Penguins, Islanders, and Bruins will make the playoffs. Who do you want to see in the first round? I think I'd rather play PIT or WAS than NYI TEAM BOS WAS...

    October NHL news

    Ever thought to yourself: "October is the tenth month! Why does it start with Oct? That means eight! Whoever changed that should be stabbed!" I have good news for you. In other words, the 2020 draft is the 6th/7th. Free agency starts the 9th. My 2020 prediction: there are going to be...

    Everything Andrew Ference

    I've seen a lot of news about former Bruin and cup-winner Andrew Ference recently. I figured I'd create a thread about him because I both agree with a lot of the causes he does, and I also like the intelligent way he speaks about things. Here is an article about his thoughts on why it was so...

    6/41.4M for Nylander. There's some math involved for this season because there's a bonus and a pro-rated salary, and then 6.9M for the other 5 years. Pasta money.

    The May News Thread

    Because FL4WL3SS couldn't be bothered to create this thread, but COULD be bothered to complain about it. But since that's technically being "Presidential" now, we'll let it pass. In other words: Holy shit there are a lot of silly details that go into the NHL draft...

    From Sean Leahy's Twitter: There are 11 spots on the Atlantic roster, and 1 spot is guaranteed to go to each team in the Atlantic. Roster is probably going to be 2G, 6F, 3D At this point, I think 6 spots are locked: F: Eichel (Buffalo) F: Krecji (Boston) F: Pacioretty (Montreal) G...
