BFR1 – Game 1 – The Kids Are Alright

By: Spencer Fascetta                                                     Twitter: @PuckNerdHockey

From the guy who brings you crazy hockey math videos and articles comes a complete and utter ripoff of Steve Dangle’s highly successful LFR series. Copying someone is the greatest form of flattery Steve. Anyhoo, the Bruins won their season opener… Let me take you through the highs and lows!

PuckNerd Presents – Bruins’ 2017-18 Roster Preview

 

By Spencer Fascetta               Follow Me On Twitter @PuckNerdHockey

The BlackNGold Hockey Team takes on the medium of video with staff member PuckNerd giving his slightly deluded take on what the Bruins’ roster should look like this season, including the potential line combinations, defensive pairings, a few surprise additions to the lineup, and, of course, his own signature mentally unstable style of humor!

PuckNerd’s Bruins’ Prospect Pyramid – The Finale

By: Spencer Fascetta                                        Twitter: @PuckNerdHockey

It’s finally here. The final installment of my ongoing Prospect Pyramid series. A few differences from the early entries into this series – there are two tiers rather than one (one is the final tier of true prospects, the other is what I define as “tweener” players – not really prospects, but still worth a quick mention), and I steered away from NHL comparables in … Keep Reading

Bruins Injury Report: 9/21/2017

 

By: Spencer Fascetta         Follow Me On Twitter @PuckNerdHockey 

Following the Bruins’ preseason matchup against the Detroit Red Wings, they received news of some significant losses due to injury. First and foremost amongst them is Torey Krug, who received a non-displaced fracture in his jaw following a blocked shot Tuesday night against Detroit. He will be evaluated in 3 weeks but is listed as out indefinitely at this time. Doctors … Keep Reading

PuckNerd’s Bruins’ Prospect Pyramid – Part 2

 

By: Spencer Fascetta                        Twitter: @PuckNerdHockey

Last week, I started my 2017-18 Bruins’ prospect pyramid project (say that 5 times fast…) with a resounding bang. You can find Part 1 here. Granted, the bang was literally a piece only on Charlie McAvoy (spoilers!), but I digress. For Tier 2, I looked at players who don’t project as the elite game-breaker that McAvoy does, but still have the potential to … Keep Reading

PuckNerd’s Bruins Prospect Pyramid – Part 1

By: Spencer Fascetta                                      Twitter: @PuckNerdHockey

To blatantly borrow a brilliant idea from one Steve Dangle, I have decided to build a prospect pyramid, rather than a ranking or list. Honestly, one could quibble over the exact placing of prospects on a list for hours, and it really isn’t worth the argument over such minuscule differences in opinion. Instead, I have provided 5 tiers … Keep Reading

PuckNerd’s Way Too Early 2017-18 Bruin’s Roster

By:  Spencer Fascetta                                          Twitter: @PuckNerdHockey

 

With the season right around about 10 corners and 2 months out, I decided to use CapFriendly’s ArmChair GM feature and experiment with what I believe the Bruin’s roster will realistically look like come Opening Night of the 2017-18 season. Ryan Spooner was just resigned to a new 1-year deal, and David Pastrnak is still negotiating his first contract extension, and both of them … Keep Reading
