My Bruins Team of the Decade
Well this past decade didn’t bring a Stanley Cup to Boston, and overall it was a pretty poor decade. The Bruins only managed to win one playoff series despite appearing in the playoffs several times. The Bruins did have several good teams though. The Bruins have had a ton of excellent players though through this [...]

Bruins need RW to play with Savard
It is starting to become clear that the Bruins desperately need a Right Wing for Marc Savard on the first line. They have been trying to experiment with 4th liners like Bitz and Begin on the 1st line. This is no knock on those two, but they should not be on the first line. Wheeler, [...]
Rask or Thomas
The Boston Bruins sit in 6th place in the Eastern Conference. The Bruins are 6-2-2 over their past 10 games, and seem to be getting over the hump after a rough start.

Bruins Ink Savard
Per TSN: The Boston Bruins have signed Marc Savard to a 7 year deal with a 4.2 million cap hit. Follow up later tonight when I get out of class. Good deal though I like it. Low cap hit and I expect it is frontloaded making it an easy buy out towards the end of [...]
