Why Don Sweeney Had To Trade For Rick Nash

Why Don Sweeney Had To Trade For Rick Nash

February 27th, 2018 Even before general manager Don Sweeney made a series of moves that effectively announced that this franchise was “all-in” on making a run at the Stanley Cup this season, it had finally felt like it was a good time to be a Boston Bruins fan again. After three years of attrition, this team is heading into the final quarter of the...
McDonagh Worth the Risk for the Bruins?

McDonagh Worth the Risk for the Bruins?

February 16th, 2018 So. You're at the helm of a resurgent organization that, for all intents and purposes, has "arrived" earlier than expected. Respected sports publications are referring to your club as a true contender for the Stanley Cup. Your club is gaining ground on a division rival that seemed untouchable in the standings for the season's first...
Are the Boston Bruins Peaking Too Soon?

Are the Boston Bruins Peaking Too Soon?

January 30th, 2018 The Boston Bruins are on a streak of epic, historical proportions, having recorded at least one point in 18 consecutive contests (14-0-4) as they emerge from the All-Star break. Eighteen. As in, the Bruins' point streak can buy itself a pack of Marlboro and join the Marine Corps. Ok, so it hasn't been quite that long. Please excuse...
Boston Bruins 2018 Trade Deadline Plans

Boston Bruins 2018 Trade Deadline Plans

January 12th, 2018 With the NHL Trade Deadline roughly six weeks away, the Boston Bruins' approach to the cutoff will be dictated by their answer to one simple question: How important is this season? For all intents and purposes, they've "arrived" a bit earlier than most expected. That's not to say that being firmly entrenched in playoff position at...
Time to Waive Matt Beleskey Goodbye

Time to Waive Matt Beleskey Goodbye

November 29th, 2017 Back in the summer of 2015, during the infancy of Don Sweeney's tenure as general manager of the Boston Bruins, the newly-appointed bossman had a lot of work to do. With the recent departure of fan-favorite power-forward Milan Lucic, Sweeney had big shoes to fill. Eager to replace the assertive, powerful offensive presence provided...
Bruins Should Pass on Nugent-Hopkins

Bruins Should Pass on Nugent-Hopkins

November 29th, 2017 Recent rumors indicate that the Boston Bruins have expressed interest in Edmonton Oilers center Ryan Nugent-Hopkins. Nick Kypreos mentioned the Bruins on Hockey Night in Canada as a team that has checked on the 24-year-old pivot's availability. The Bruins may be looking for a center for any number of reasons. For starters, Ryan...
Bruins Trade Options Limited

Bruins Trade Options Limited

November 13th, 2017 The Boston Bruins are a measly 6-6-4 through their first 14 games this season after back-to-back losses to the Toronto Maple Leafs this weekend. But don't let that record fool you into thinking this team is resting at .500. Three of those four overtime losses came in games where the Bruins either had a lead or a tie going into the...
Chara Wants to Keep on Playing!

Chara Wants to Keep on Playing!

September 24th, 2017 When I was 12 and began playing hockey, I said I wanted to play until I was 50. I've done well over the years as I've surpassed that mark. But I play because I like it and not professionally. Boston Bruins elder statesman, defenseman Zdeno Chara turned 40 in March, and both he and the Bruins are talking about a contract extension....
