PREGAME NOTES

We knew going into the game that the Bruins would be without veteran players Patrice Bergeron and David Backes. This meant that Frank Vatrano would slide into the lineup, along with Riley Nash. Torey Krug was also unavailable to play with a jaw injury. DeBrusk, Bjork, and McAvoy were all making their regular … Keep Reading

The former first-round pick Malcolm Subban (24th overall, 2012) was placed on waivers yesterday and claimed by the Vegas Golden Knights earlier today. Vegas now has three goalies on their roster. Fleury, Pickard and Subban will make quite the tandem in nets for them. For the Bruins, they will now use Daniel Vladar and Zane McIntyre as the … Keep Reading

The Boston Bruins host the Nashville Predators in their first game of the 2017-2018 regular season on October 5. Following that game, they have some games that are certainly winnable.

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

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

How many times over the last 2-3 years have we heard the terms “speed,” “youth,” and “skill” thrown around the NHL? The league is evolving at a rapid rate, and many teams have already started to adopt the new model. Enforcers seem to have been put on the “endangered” list, conceding to the less … Keep Reading

The 2017 NHL Draft is approaching quickly with a different feel to it than in year’s past. This year there isn’t really that is anyone considered to be a franchise player like Connor McDavid, Auston Matthews and Jack Eichel in years past. It’s also not considered to be as deep of a draft as year’s past, where the depth of … Keep Reading
