Healthy Bruins The Bruins are fully healthy, and look dominant! In their last 10 games, the Bruins scorecard stands at  6-3-1.  In their last six,  5-1-0. Injuries The Bruins welcomed David Backes, Ryan Spooner, David Krejci, Brad Marchand and Anders Bjork back to the lineup last week. Even with the Bruins finally healthy, they still don’t have key players Jake DeBrusk (upper body), and Adam McQuaid (broken leg).  McQuaid has recently started skating again, which is a great sign. However, DeBrusk remains on IR with an upper body injury. When the Bruins get Quaider and DeBrusk back, I believe...

Time For Bruins To Move On From Matt Beleskey?

Posted by | Nov 4, 2017 |

The Bruins have a record of 5-3-3, just 11 games into the season. The team, decimated with injuries, is in need of some secondary scoring.

From Bad to Worse for the Bruins

Posted by | Oct 19, 2017 | ,

With the Bruins only five game into this young season, they have posted a 2-3-0 record. The Bruins have been good in their two wins this season, but horrendous in the three losses they have suffered. The team has been without assistant captains Patrice Bergeron and David Backes to start the season, but both have resumed skating this week and look to be close to a return. Bergeron has been out with a lower body injury, and Backes with Diverticulitis. It’s a good sign seeing these two skating and looking to soon make a return. The injuries just keep...

The season hasn’t exactly started the way Patrice Bergeron would have liked. Like last year, Bergy starts the season with a lower body injury. Bergeron Skating Some speculate that the injury could be a flare-up of the sports hernia from last season.  But Bergeron told media that the injury wasn’t related to the Sports Hernia. This gave Bruins fans some relief to know that it doesn’t appear too serious. Some positive signs — Bergeron skated Wednesday according to Head Coach Bruce Cassidy. “He’s out there testing it again, there’s not a lot of newness to report on it. Obviously we’ll...

Bruins fail to bounce back The Bruins fell once again to the Avalanche on Wednesday night in Colorado. If the Bruins want to win hockey games, it will take a much better effort.

Bruins Look to Bounce Back Tonight

Posted by | Oct 11, 2017 |

The Bruins hope to bounce back tonight in Colorado after a disappointing matinee Monday and play the way they did in their season opener against the Nashville Predators. Bruins Sign white to PTO The Bruins made a couple of minor transactions on Tuesday.   One includes the signing of ex-Montreal Canadian tough guy Ryan White to a PTO. White could bring some grit and toughness to the Bruins’ young and speedy forward group.  White has quite the resume in the NHL, playing for the Montreal Canadians, Philadelphia Flyers, Arizona Coyotes, and the Minnesota Wild.  He hopes the Bruins are his next destination.   “I play my game wherever I go,” said White. ”I’m probably here for a reason — just to play physical, straight up and down, north-south game, and chip in when I can. It’s pretty self-explanatory the way I play, and I can’t change it now.” Coaches and Players Comments Brad Marchand had some kind words on White when speaking to the media on Tuesday. “He’s a very competitive guy, very hard to play against, and a really good player,” Bruins winger Brad Marchand said of White. “He’s one of those guys you don’t want to play against, but you love to have him on your team. Very good locker room guy, and he’s the kind of guy you need on your team to go deep in the playoffs.” Head...
