Nazem Kadri: Hard Worker or Reckless Player?

Nazem Kadri: Hard Worker or Reckless Player?

March 18th, 2015 There’s no arguing that the 2014-15 season has been a dismal one for the Toronto Maple Leafs. On Wednesday, it became apparent that the team would be hit with yet another blow as second-line centre Nazem Kadri was handed a four-game suspension for his illegal check to the head of Oilers’ Matt...
Oilers Claim Forward Matt Fraser

Oilers Claim Forward Matt Fraser

December 29th, 2014 The NHL waiver wire can be both a constructive and degrading beast, allowing teams to drastically improve their roster by claiming a player, or severely hurt teams who choose to run the risk of losing a player by putting him on waivers. Such was the case for the Edmonton Oilers on Monday, who made a great choice in claiming...
Matt Fraser, the Sniper That Never Was

Matt Fraser, the Sniper That Never Was

December 29th, 2014 The Boston Bruins made a roster move after an ugly loss at the hands of the Columbus Blue Jackets, but it was not an addition. Matt Fraser was placed on waivers Sunday, and was claimed today by who, but the Edmonton Oilers.   Oilers claim forward Matt Fraser off waivers from the Boston Bruins; Place Steve Pinizzotto on Waivers -...
5 Players Most Likely to Crack the Boston Bruins Lineup

5 Players Most Likely to Crack the Boston Bruins Lineup

September 23rd, 2014 By Mike Miccoli At the annual "State of the Bruins" event for Boston's season ticket holders, Peter Chiarelli commented that there are four forward spots open. Of course, that was taking into consideration what will eventually (maybe?) be Reilly Smith's place on the second line. With that said, the Bruins are in one of the more...
Why Have the Bruins Been So Quiet This Offseason?

Why Have the Bruins Been So Quiet This Offseason?

July 28th, 2014 It's been an oddly quiet offseason in Boston. Jarome Iginla, Shawn Thornton, Andrej Meszaros, and Chad Johnson are all gone while replacements on the team's depth chart are still largely penciled-in as TBA. Peter Chiarelli has been active signing his restricted free-agents--a scattered group of minor-leaguers and fringe NHLers...
How Many Bruins Can They Lose?

How Many Bruins Can They Lose?

December 16th, 2013 As the Boston Bruins touched down Sunday evening in Boston, having completed a four-game road trip with games in Toronto, Ontario; Calgary and Edmonton, Alberta; and Vancouver, British Columbia, they can hold their heads high with the way they played. Despite their loss to the Vancouver Canucks on Saturday night, they managed to win the...
New Additions to Bruins Lineup Could Provide Spark

New Additions to Bruins Lineup Could Provide Spark

December 8th, 2013 By Mike Miccoli It's the second week of December and the Boston Bruins are about to go on their most important road trip of the season, even if it doesn't look like it on paper. The Bruins' next four opponents, the Toronto Maple Leafs, Calgary Flames, Edmonton Oilers, and Vancouver Canucks, have a combined record of 53-53-15,...
On Seguin's Return to Boston and the Fake Art of Winning Trades

On Seguin's Return to Boston and the Fake Art of Winning Trades

November 6th, 2013 Every time Seguin touched the puck, boos rained down on the Stars' top-line center. He may have been wearing a different number, but Seguin had a target on his back for the entire night. Not because he decided to sign somewhere other than Boston. Not because he demanded to be play for another team. Not even because he injured a current...

2013-14 Bruins Season Predictions Part 2: Unlike Kessel, Seguin Will Be Forgotten

2013-14 Bruins Season Predictions Part 2: Unlike Kessel, Seguin Will Be Forgotten

August 29th, 2013 By Mike Miccoli The ‘core’ that the Boston Bruins spoke so much about has lost some parts and it’s the hope of the team that the new pieces will serve as an upgrade. But the one key element that Boston has going into the season is uncertainty. Nobody really knows how good this team can be. Sure, on paper they may look solid but...
Is this Jordan Caron's last chance in Boston?

Is this Jordan Caron's last chance in Boston?

July 29th, 2013 By Mike Miccoli The writing on the wall became a bit more visible once the ink dried on Jordan Caron's latest contract. Instead of a bump in pay following the expiration of his three-year, entry-level deal where he collected $1.1 million annually, the Bruins opted to offer the restricted free agent a one-year, one-way, $640,000...
Matt Fraser: More Than Just a Prospect

Matt Fraser: More Than Just a Prospect

July 6th, 2013 The blockbuster trade between Boston and Dallas involved Rich Peverly, Tyler Seguin, Loui Eriksson, and some prospects. This post is one fan's tribute to one of those prospects. The first two seasons for the Texas Stars had established this team as defense-first. Scorers got it done by grinding away and getting the dirty...
Tyler Seguin Trade: High Risk vs High Reward

Tyler Seguin Trade: High Risk vs High Reward

July 5th, 2013 Since being hired as general manager of the Dallas Stars in April, Jim Nill has suggested time and time again that he wants to tweak the roster that he took over, fix the holes and shape the team into something a little more to his liking. But when you inherit a team that's missed the playoffs for five consecutive years and is no...
Credit Where Credit Is Due: Joe Nieuwendyk's Greatest GM Hits

Credit Where Credit Is Due: Joe Nieuwendyk's Greatest GM Hits

May 2nd, 2013 After a season full of twists and turns, on Sunday morning, one day after their last game of the season and three days after being eliminated from the playoffs, the Dallas Stars made another huge announcement, officially firing general manager Joe Nieuwendyk. With only 48 games spread across four months, the lockout-shortened regular...

Vets Traded, Dallas Stars Take Next Step Towards The Future

April 4th, 2013 With the 2013 NHL trade deadline officially past, the dust is finally beginning to settle on what was a whirlwind few days for the Dallas Stars. One of the league's most active participants leading up to Wednesday's deadline, the Stars made three separate deals on Tuesday, including two of the biggest ones of all in the moving out of...
