Bruins' Defensemen And Goaltenders Grades At The Quarter Point Of The Season

December 1, 2019 / Lucas Pearson / 0 Comments

By: Lucas Pearson | Follow Me On Twitter @LucasPearson_
The Boston Bruins currently sit atop the entire NHL and their defense and goaltending is a major reason why. They’ve allowed the second least amount of goals in the league and with their incredibly deep defensive core and top goaltending tandem, they should continue their stellar play for the rest of the year. Now at the quarter-point of the season, it … Keep Reading

Well done, Big Zee!

November 12, 2019 / Michael DiGiorgio / 0 Comments

Zdeno was drafted 56th overall in the 1996 NHL draft to the New York Islanders. The Slovakian possessed something NHL GM’s salivate over for their blue line defenders: size.
