    Tyler Bertuzzi to BOS for 2024 1st and 2025 4th

    Kind of sorry I used the term locker room. I was never trying to imply Hathaway, Orlov or Bertuzzi were in any way bad people, and honestly I don't think I really did. As I get older, I like prettier hockey nowadays. Hockey can be a violent sport, and the Bruins have been whittling that...

    Tyler Bertuzzi to BOS for 2024 1st and 2025 4th

    Ferm nailed it. I only mentioned the locker room stuff because the one I WASN'T thinking of as a shit stirrer (Orlov) is no choir boy himself. Kevan Miller's last NHL play was getting his clock cleaned from a high hit by Orlov. The other two are absolutely the kind of guys you'd hate to play...

    Tyler Bertuzzi to BOS for 2024 1st and 2025 4th

    I'm saying that the Bruins got 2 shit stirrers with skill, and while it's not the direction I thought the team would go, I am excited to see the results.

    Tyler Bertuzzi to BOS for 2024 1st and 2025 4th

    Second time this week I've had to bite my tongue and root for the laundry over the roster, but I'll take it. I do prefer the more skilled side of the game, but if you're going to lean into being a harder team to play against there is no half ass-ing it I guess. I don't doubt they are also more...

    Pastrnak Extended- 8 years $11.25 million AAV

    Absolutely. But just looking at capfriendly, the raw numbers for next year look grim (and honestly, I don't even care right now.... finish the season then worry about it). And I'm not even saying it as a bad thing, just that it's hard not to see some names moving out over the summer. 2 years...

    Pastrnak Extended- 8 years $11.25 million AAV

    Alright, Sweeney. You did your job for 22-23. You've put a great team on the ice for this season and signed your biggest asset long term. Take a month off, because when this season is over you are going to have some SERIOUS work to do putting together next year's squad.

    ESPN Is Pathetic

    Every year in preseason, I check the Bruins roster on ESPN to see if they still have David Pastrnak listed as a left shot left winger. Then I don't return to espn for the remainder of the season. I know it's small potatoes compared to other things, but it's my molehill to die on for that site.

    How Good Are The Sox Now?

    But in this case, the intangibles are quite often overtly tangible.

    Bruins Trade Deadline 2016

    I think the reaction to the non-trade of Loui comes down to how spoiled the fanbases in Boston are becoming. No one can look at this team and say they are a legit contender, but they are more than likely playoff bound. Now I'm not going into the whole "but ANYTHING could happen!" routine, but...

    January 5th:Washington At Boston

    I know there's not much they can do, but is this the worst lineup since the Dave Lewis era? Kemp and Talbot centering the 3/4 lines, Connolly/Ferraro as the 1st/2nd line RWs, Kevan Miller paired with Chara. At least with Koko and Griffith in the lineup we can pretend they are trying to develop...

    Fuck Holtby

    January 5th:Washington At Boston

    Fluto just tweeted lineups, looks like K Miller is back in. I take that back, 5-1 Caps.

    January 5th:Washington At Boston

    Great road team vs mediocre home team coming off an embarrassing high profile loss. The Bruins are without 3 of their best offensive players. Historically bad against Holtby. Caps haven't lost 3 in a row all season. I'm calling it: Trap game for the Caps tonight. Bruins 3-2!

    HA! I know this isn't the place for it, but whichever dope it was that stuck me with the Headly Lamar avatar gets a free handy! Love it!

    Bruins Prospect News and Notes

    For all the shit Sweeney took for the draft this year, it really is turning out to be quite the haul. You could even make the argument that Zboril was the one non-reach, yet has been arguably the most disappointing so far. Gabrielle and Senyshyn are both top 3 in goals for their respective...

    Has Sweeney gained your trust?

    This has been arguably the craziest start to an offseason in franchise history.  Given the Hamilton fiasco, McQuaid re-signing and Rinaldo trades, have the other moves taken you off the edge at all?   Everything regarding the Lucic trade seems to be coming up Bruins.  The Zboril pick looks to be...

    Matt Beleskey to Bruins: 5 years $3.8 million AAV

    Didn't realize he was a left shot either, so those might not be his competition.   Further points for Sweeney maybe, does Belesky's NTC for 2 seasons have anything to do with expansion?  I haven't seen the numbers, but if it's frontloaded and he's able to be left unprotected, if things aren't...

    Matt Beleskey to Bruins: 5 years $3.8 million AAV

    Belesky signed for a lot less than anticipated on the open market, and only slightly more than what Smith was making.  Getting him for less than Savard's cap hit seems like a pretty goddamn good deal.  Even if he does regress a bit, I think he will be a nice upgrade from Smith.  And with...

    So what's Next?

    I think I have talked myself off the edge.  The route taken was horrible, but I'm not sure it is irredeemable just yet.  One thing that strikes me after doing some research is, for the most part, the top 6 taken all seem to have pretty decent heads on their shoulders in interviews.  Obviously...

    2nd Round, 7th pick (37th overall) - Brandon Carlo, D (Tri-City)

    In that video #22 for Slovakia is fellow B's prospect Peter Cehlarik, 2013 3rd rounder.  Couple of good highlights of him in there as well.
