Carlo & Grzelcyk: Odd Men Out on Bruins' Blue Line?

Carlo & Grzelcyk: Odd Men Out on Bruins' Blue Line?

July 30th, 2018 With free agency over and training camp about a month and a half out, the Boston Bruins enter the 2018-2019 season with some question marks on defense after a busy offseason. However, these questions are not the type that GM Don Sweeney and company are used to. In past seasons as recent as 2017-18, the main storyline with Boston's...

Chris Wagner Will Impress With the Bruins

July 2nd, 2018 The Boston Bruins have always been known for their physicality. From the days of Harry Sinden's "Big Bad Bruins" to Claude Julien's defensive-minded schemes and hard-hitting brand of hockey, Boston has always had the reputation for being one of the tougher teams in the NHL. Despite the NHL now being a completely different league with...

Would Bruins Trade DeBrusk for Hanifin?

June 18th, 2018 Two things are clear at this point in the 2018 NHL offseason. The Boston Bruins are in need of a two-way left-shot defenseman, and former first-round pick Noah Hanifin may want out after a rather bitter end to the 2017-18 season for the Carolina Hurricanes (36-35-11, 14 points out of a playoff spot). Given that Hanifin is a local...

Carlson a UFA Target for the Bruins?

May 25th, 2018 The Boston Bruins made significant progress in 2017-18, winning a playoff series for the first time since 2014 while several of their young prospects in Jake DeBrusk and Charlie McAvoy emerged into the spotlight and have shown great signs of being All-Star caliber players for both the present and near-future. Lack of production at...

Bruins' Rask and Nash Coming to Form?

April 30th, 2018 There were several storylines hidden behind the loud collective performance of the top line of Brad Marchand (two goals, three assists), Patrice Bergeron (two goals, one assist) and David Pastrnak (four assists) during the Boston Bruins' 6-2 victory over the Tampa Bay Lightning in Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals on Saturday...

Time For Donato to Get His Chance?

April 25th, 2018 The Boston Bruins have found themselves in a bit of a sticky situation following back-to-back losses in Games 5 and 6 against the Toronto Maple Leafs, as the series shifts back to TD Garden for a series-deciding Game 7 on Wednesday. Throughout the first six games of the series, recent signee and 2014 second-round pick out of Harvard,...

Krejci Returning to Playoff Form for Bruins

April 16th, 2018 The Boston Bruins are two games into their Eastern Conference Quarterfinal matchup against the Toronto Maple Leafs and so far, the main storyline is the production from the B's top line of Brad Marchand, Patrice Bergeron, and David Pastrnak, who have accumulated a total of 20 points (five goals, 15 assists) and helped guide the Bruins to...

Wingels Looking to Put Away Title Demons with Boston

April 9th, 2018 Due to a series of injuries to the likes of Patrice Bergeron, David Backes, Jake DeBrusk and Rick Nash over the last month, the Boston Bruins have been forced to expand the roles of a significant portion of their bottom-six forward core, all while welcoming newcomers such as Brian Gionta from the USA Olympic Team, and top-draft pick Ryan...
