Despite being New England's Son (hailing from the Great State of Connecticut), Joe currently resides in Los Angeles, California. One of his earliest memories is of the Bruins losing in the 1990 Stanley Cup Finals, setting up a lifetime of crushing disappointments.

Breaking Down the Bruins Rick Nash Trade
February 27th, 2018 It's over. Everybody take a deep breath, smoke 'em if you've got 'em and settle in for what figures to be a dead sprint toward and through the playoffs.

Bruins Path Forward Minus Bjork & Vatrano
