Trade Speculation

From Spectors

The Minnesota Wild are trying to shop LW Mark Parrish, who's been relegated to the club's fourth line. His five-year, $2.7 million per season salary would make him a tough sell. The Wild could also shop RW Pascal Dupuis. Garrioch reports "Phoenix, Boston, Pittsburgh, Montreal and Chicago have all called GM Doug Risebrough to check on his availability."

The Philadelphia Flyers has apparently been getting lots of interest in defenceman Joni Pitkanen. The San Jose Sharks and Boston Bruins are believed interested. The Flyers are also getting calls about Simon Gagne and Mike Knuble.


Bruins#1fan's thoughts-
It would be great to have Mike Knuble back, but I don't if he wants to come back, or if Philadelphia wants to give him up. Mark Parrish would be pricey, but I think he would be a good addition to the Boston Bruins lineup.

Boston Bruins Record Back To One Game Over .500 (Again)

As we saw last night, the Boston Bruins record is back to being a above .500 record. Finally, the Boston Bruins won a game with a two goal lead. The 9 other wins were all one goal wins, and alot of them were overtime wins.

My thoughts on the game...

Peter Tenkrat scored his second goal as a Boston Bruin. From what I have seen from him, he is a speedy player, and both of his goals have been quick wrist shots from about the same place, just opposite side of the net.

Marc Savard continued to play well, except last night he didn't just assist, he scored a goal. Alot of scouting reports, and opinions say that he is a slow player, but I do not see the slowness in him. Obviously he is not the fasted player on the ice, but he is not slow.

The Boston Bruins captain, Zdeno Chara is proving to me that he deserves to be captain, as he got two assists last night.

A fight finally broke out, with Paul Mara fighting, because Darcy Tucker hit Zdeno Chara, and The Boston Bruins defended Zdeno Chara. What is more surprising to me, is that Darcy Tucker did not get a penalty for that hit.

If you watched the replays for the Toronto Maple Leafs goal, you will notice that one of the Boston Bruins players was tripped up by a Toronto Maple Leafs player near the boards, but there was no penalty called.

Tim Thomas played one of his best games of the season. He only let in one goal. You also have to give credit to Andrew Raycroft, because without him, the Toronto Maple Leafs would have had no chance of winning.

Boston Bruins Win

Game Recap on Friday. I will not posting on Thanksgiving. Overall it was a good game. Brian Finley left the game with a lower body injury. Tim Thomas came up big in the shootout. More game recap coming on Friday.

The Boston Bruins Are On A Winning Streak

The Washington Capitals are getting better, and better every time we play them, and that is not just because the Boston Bruins are getting worse, and worse.

The Boston Bruins were able to block an almost meltdown in the second period, but we were able to come back, and not let them get ahead, which has mostly been the case this year for the Boston Bruins.

The Boston Bruins goals were not half bad. Brad Stuarts goal came off of a good pass from Marc Savard, and on that goal, Stanislav Chistov got an assist.

This year, the Boston Bruins are a pretty fast team. We proved that even more on Phil Kessels goal. That goal was his fourth of the year.

Tim Thomas played an exceptional game, and one of the two goals came on a 2 and 0 break for the capitals, so it was as bad, if not worse, than a break away

Boston Bruins Aquire Stanislav Chistov

http://www.tsn.ca/nhl/news_story/?ID=184177&hubname=nhl

It Was Not That Bad Of A Game...

bruins#1fan's best-

Lewis finally got mad on the ice... but when he did, it was too late

We were 2 for 5 on the power play

Brian Finnly surprised me

Marco Sturm finally scored, and we were not out shot, we tied

bruins#1fan's worst-

Paul Mara screwed up on one of those goals, without that mistake might have tied the game

Tim Thomas let in 3 goals on 10 shots

Tim Thomas was terrible

It is time to get rid of Tim Thomas

The Boston Bruins tried the home run pass way to many times, but we got a goal on that pass twice

We took very bad penalties

This Is Going To Be A Good Game

Why do I say that, you ask?
Well, if the Boston Bruins lose, I expect the Boston Bruins to make a trade. I am not sure if I like this new rumor that we might aquire Nittamakki from Philidelphia. I would like us to aquire Gigure from Anaheim. I do like that we are shopping Marco Sturm, and Brad Stuart, because it is unlikely that either of them are returning.

Second Line Is On A Streak!!

The second line totaled ten points last night. Glen Murray got a goal, and two assists, P.J. Axelsson got a goal, and a assist, and Marc Savard got two goals, and three assists. The past two games this line has really started to play well. I am starting to like Phil Kessel on the third line, I think it might make Wayne Primeau, and Shean Donovan get more points.

The first line better wake up, otherwise they will become the second line. I strongly believe that they will wake up, and start playing better.

It is a good thing Tim Thomas came in to play, He played a solid third period, and that has not come easy for him in the last couple of games he has played.

Cullimore being shopped to Bruins

Read this,
http://www2.sportsnet.ca/blogs/hockey_hearsay/2006/10/30/flyer_fire_sale_starting_with/

At first I thought Simon Gagne was being shopped to the Boston Bruins.

Phoenix Coyotes Sign Perreault

That seems like a good deal for Phoenix for only 700k. He should be able to help their team.

You Have Got To Be Kidding Me

We out played them, the team played good, but what happens? Tim Thomas lets in a goal with 1.2 seconds left to play, he let in two soft 5 hole goals.

It is time to get a goalie.

Trade Tim Thomas Trade Tim Thomas Trade Tim Thomas Trade Tim Thomas Trade Tim Thomas Trade Tim Thomas Trade Tim Thomas Trade Tim Thomas Trade Tim Thomas

Samsonov Demoted to Fourth Line

That's what Samsonov gets for signing with th Montreal Canadiens. I liked how he played on the Edmonto Oilers in the playoffs, he should have stayed there.

My Thoughts On The Glen Murray Rumor

If we are to trade Glen Murray, I do not think we need another top six forward. We need a goalie. The reason I think we do not need another top six forward is because we beat the Calgary Flames without Marco Sturm, so if we had Marco Sturm in that game, and we did not have Glen Murray, we probably would have been fine. Since the Buffalo Sabres would probably not trade Martin Biron, because he is in our division, I would like to see the Boston Bruins try to get Nabokov from San Jose.

To tell you the truth, I don't want us to tade Glen Murray, I think we can wait another year for Tuuka Rask.

What A Game

If Glen Murray keeps playing the way he played last night, don't expect him to be traded. A goal 18 seconds in, what a nice pass from Marc Savard.

Sorry for the lack of updates, I just got a new computer, and it has taken a while to set up.

I like these new lines, we probably would of been better with Marco Sturm, but I like P.J. Axelsson on the first line. P.J. Axelsson will probably go back to the third line when Marco Sturm comes back.

Another One Of My Crazy Solutions

Well, as we heard days ago, goaltender Mikael Telqvist was sent down to the Toronto Marlies. Well, Maybe the Boston Bruins should try to get him, not to be a starter, but to maybe be a back up. I can't wait until next year when we can maybe sign Rask, because he should become a #1 goaltender someday.

A Possible Solution?

I know I will be bashed badly for it, and I know it is only 4 games through the season, but I have a possible trade proposal, that most likely will not happen, but it could. I say that since the Boston Bruins have two good backup goalies in Tim Thomas, and Hannu Toivonen, we obviosly need a reliable starter. The trade that I am about to say probably won't be a fair trade to Bufffalo, but I say that we should trade Tim Thomas, a pick, and a miner leage player to the Buffalo Sabres for Martin Biron. I know this probably won't happen, but Martin Biron wants to be a starter, and I want to see him in a Boston Bruins uniform. Maybe we could trade somebody else for him, but I think that could be the solution, acquiring Martin Biron

The Buffulo Sabres beat The Detroit RedWings In The Shoot Out

Buffalo did not deserve that win. Detroit completely out played them, and out shot them 43-17. The final score was 3-2 for Buffalo. Miller played great.

If you want to watch games on TSN, or any other non-local channel, that would cost money for you to watch, go to comcast.net, and you can watch a free NHL game almost every night, it is really good. Who needs to buy channels when you can go to comcast.net for free. Try it.

What A Play, And What A Goal By Patrice Bergeron!...Yet What A Terrible Loss

Well, we can make the game sound good by say Tim Thomas had a shutout for 55 minutes. We could also make it sound worse by saying that Tim Thomas let in two goals in a span of about 2 minutes. All Boston Bruins fans have been praying that Marc Savard doesn't turn out to be another Alexie Zhamnov, what a relief it was to see him score his first goal as a member of the Boston Bruins. Hopefully he can keep it up. Kessel got his second NHL career point, Tim Thomas got his second 06' 07' season loss. I am glad that Manny Legace played well, because I want it to be a slap in the face to Detroit for not resigning him.

Thomas To Start

Thomas is going to start in net tonight. Old new, but I was getting board. So I had to write.

Just So You Know

As you may notice, I have the score of the game right above this post. Well, that is not a post, it is just part of the side bar that I thought was more important than the others, so I put it there. That is not a post.

Based On Your Opinions...

Based on your opinions, you readers say I should have my colers be black, and gold. So, in a few minutes, I shall grant that wish. The site will those colors. Tell me if you like it.

It Is Your Decision

I have had some recent complaints about the color of my site, so, I am asking all readers to tell comment, and tell me what colors I should use. Do not say the old ones, I want new colors, and it is up to all readers of what they should be.

You can be anonymous to comment in case you are wondering.

Hoping Hannu Starts

I a really hoping Hannu Toivonen starts tomorow, and he probably will. I also hope that the next game that Thomas plays is alot better than the first one he played, because I like Tim Thomas, and I hope we won't have to trade him, but for now, Hannu Toivonen should start. No doubt in mind about this. I would be shocked if Dave Lewis put out Tim Thomas, but you never know, his first game back, he may have been rusty

Just A Thought...

As every one hopefully knows, Jason Allison is still without an NHL job. From what I have read in comments about Allison really disgusts me. Some people say he should come back to Boston, and I stongly disagree with that. Besides the fact that we have too many centers right now, what would he end up being, a third line center. I do not think he would want that. Why would we want someone to come back to Boston, who left for money reasons,(It was a trade, but we only traded him because of money issues), why would we want him. I say Toronto resigns him, he played well there, and he would help Toronto offensively.

Pahlsson Signs Extension Withe The Anaheim Ducks

Samuel Pahllson has signed a two year contract exxtension with the Anaheim Ducks. Lst year he had 11 goals, and 10 assists for 21 points.

My Three Star Picks For Last Night

1. Patrice Bergeron(He got the game winner)
2. Hannu Toivonen(Played petty well)
3. Wayne Primeau(He opened up the game for us, by getting the first goal)

Boston Bruins Win!

The Boston Bruins have picked up their first two points of the season against the Tampa Bay Lightning. I will have my thoughts on the game tomorow. Overall it was a good game. Watching Hannu Toivonen play really can open your eyes, those splits of his are amazing.

Boston Bruins Get Completely Blown Out

I guess Hannu Toivonen is going to start today. I love to state the obvious.

Lets start with the positives

Marco Sturm got a goal, and a assist,
Glen Murray got a goal,
Wayne Primeau got a goal,
Zdeno Chara got two assists,
Marc Savard got an assist,

Call me crazy, but if you were watching the game, the Boston Bruins really out played the Florida Panthers until the fifth goal.

When Hannu Toivonen came in relief at the end, he looked pretty good,(despite letting in one goal).

Phil Kessel did not get penalties, insead he made them

I'll try to make this short, but...

The Bad

Tim Thomas stunk, he let in the worst goals in, he could'nt save anything,

Florida won, 8-3

Todd Bertuzzi played amazing

With the way Alex Auld played, who needs Roberto Luongo

We lost

We lost

We lost

Even if we win tonight, Boston Bruins fans, and any other hockey fan will still be bashing about this game.

____________________________________________________________________

If Tim Thomas keeps up this bad goal tending, he will be wearing a spoked P on his chest very soon.

Is Eklund A Boston Bruins Hater?

Acually, I believe all of HockeyBuzz hates the Boston Bruins. I mean, when was the last time they posted an article about the Boston Bruins. Did they even metion when the Boston Bruins signed Zdeno Chara, and Marc Savard, I think it was just a side note.

Just A Note On The Toronto-Ottawa Game

Although I want to see Toronto to do bad, and lose,( even though they are winning 2-0 at this point), standings wise, it might be better if the Toronto Maple Leafs and Ottawa Senators even out, because in one game for the Bruins, if the Boston Bruins win,(saying the Toronto Maple Leafs win), the Boston Bruins could be tied for first, although it really doesn't matter in the beginning of the season.

Thomas To Start In Net Tommorow

I heard it on an interview with Bruins Head Coach Dave Lewis on WEEI.

Not A Good Move

As you probably know, Petr Kalus was sent down to Providence today, but the question is why. From what every one said, and from what I waw, and heard, he was supposed to make the team. Don't tell me that Peter Tenkrat is better. This was not a good move.

I Don't Get It

This just does not make sense to me, on every non-Boston Bruins bias site, they say the Boston Bruins will only be a little bit better, or the same, or worse. I don't get it, isn't Marc Savard an improvement from Marty Reasoner, isn't Zdeno Chara a little better than Brian Leetch. Some hockey bloggers, and even professional sites know absolutely nothing about hockey.

Never Mind

Scratch that last post I made, this site will not be moving.

Site Has Changed Name

The new site name is -

thehubofhockey.blogspot.com

Just click it, and you will go right to it

Note- Never Mind This site is not going anywhere!

Chara Named Captain!!

Zdeno Chara has become the 18th captain of the Boston Bruins. Patrice Bergeron, and Glen Murray have been named the alternate captains. This is a good move, I think Zdeno Chara deserved this, and Bergeron definitely deserved the alternate job, but I don't know if Glen Murray really deserved the A.


In other news...
The Devils have signed Brian Gionta after San Jose got rid of alot of their cap, by taking Malakov...ugh...no other team would have been able to do that.

Picture Day!!

The 2006-2007 Bruins have finally had their pictures taken!

Who do you think looks the worst?

Who looks the best?

Here is the link
Boston Bruins Pictures

Look at This

I like what they say-

East Standings

Boston Bruins Lose 5-3

Murray, Boyes, and Tenkrat scored. It was a bad game, but I thought Savard played very well, especially on the Tenkrat goal. We got killed on tth NY Rangers powerplay, but Chara, Sturm, and Jurcina were not in the game.

Bruins Predicted Lines

You may be surprised by some of the picks

Kessel Boyes Bergeron
Sturm Savard Murray
Axelsson Primeau Donovan
Kalus Mowers Stastny

Chara Jurcina
B.Stuart Mara
York Dempsey

Toivonen
Thomas

Kalus Cleared

If Petr Kalus does not make the Boston Bruins roster, he does not have to go back to his junior team, he can play in Providence. That is good news because if he can't make the Boston Bruins roster, he still will have to work harder than he did on his junior team in Providence, and get him ready to play with the Boston Bruins in the future.

PreSeason Thoughts

Just some random thoughts...

Has Patrice Bergeron gotten on the score sheet yet in this preseason? I am starting to get worried. Also, it seems that the new first line Bergeron, Boyes, and Kessel, and the second line is Savard, Sturm, and Murray. Hannu Toivonen looks great this preseason.

Site Plans

Over the next 1-1 1/2 months I will not be posting as frequently, because I am going to be making changes to the site to make it better. I should still post atleast 1 time per 2 days.

Bruins Lose 1-0

Thomas made 27 saves. The good new is that Jurcina is not seriously injured.

The Boston Bruins Cut 12 Players

The Boston Bruins roster is now down to 23 players, as they have cut 12 players today. Some players that were cut that were surprises in my opinion were Matt Lashoff, Marins Karsums, and David Kreji. There were some other cuts like Pelletier, Finley, Sigalet, Walter, Versteeg, Redenbach, Allen, Thompson, and Leach.

Boston Bruins Win 3-2

The Boston Bruins have just improved their record to 4-1, winning their fourth strait.

The Boston Bruins are Leading 3-0 at the end of the First

Glen Murray, Tyler Redenbach, and Jonathan Sigalet have scored. The Islanders are not looking to good.

Note: Sorry for saying Chara would be in the lineup, apparently he is still out of the lineup

Bruins vs. Islanders Tonight

Starting lineups coming soon. Toivonen should be in net. Chara is expected to play, no promises. I expect most of the normal Boston Bruins players will be playing tonight. The game starts at 6:00 P.M.






Picture from slam.canoe.ca

Bruins beat up Islanders!

The Boston Bruins destroyed the New York Islanders 5-1. The Boston Bruins got goals from Karsums, Stuart, Pelletier, Thomson, and Savard. The Bruins now have a record of 3-1 in the preseason.

Take that, Montreal!!!!!!!

Well, well, well, didn't all you Montreal fans think the Bruins would completely blown out by you. Well, guess again, we beat you once again, this time 3-1. Toivonen played great, and all you people who think the Bruins have no goaltending might just be wrong. He made 24 saves last night, in fact, why don't you just look at this picture of him last night making a great save-

Bruins Win Chara Not Injured

The Bruins won 3-1 last night. Zdeno Chara is not injured.

Shot Score!!!!!!!!!

Marco Sturm has just scored his second goal of the game, the Boston Bruins now lead 5-1. The goal was unassisted.

Another Update

Bruins now only lead 4-2. Montreal scored.

Game Update

The Boston Bruins are leading 4-1 in the in the third period. Sturm, Mara, Chara, and Mowers scored. Lattendresse failed to score on a penalty shot. Rivet scored for the Canadians. Game Analis tommorow.

Bruins play Montreal Today

Tim Thomas will be in net, Brian Finley will play in net in the third. Zdeno Chara will make his Boston Bruins Preseason debut. Phil Kessel will also make his Boston Bruins debut. Patrice Bergeron, and Brad Boyes will not play tonight. Marco Sturm will play to night

Monday Bruins News

Tim Thomas will start in net for the Bruins on tuesday. He will play two periods, and in the third period Brian Finley will play. On Wednesday Hannu Toivonen will start the game, and yet again Brian Finley will p;ay the third.

Key players making the trip to Montreal include Bergeron, Boyes Sturm, Savard, Chara, Mara, Murry, Kessel, Donovan, and some other rookies, and veterans.

Toivonen, Thomas, Finley, and Sigalet are the goalies making the trip.

The last Be-A-Bruin winner, Billy Tibbets, was released from the team today.

Kessel to Make Bruins Preseason Debut Tuesday

Not exactly top of the headline news, but it's new none the less, hope the bruins win tommorow. Pray for Brian Finley to start the game, he deserves to start a game before going to Providence. For some reason, I don't care if Sigalet plays, but I want Finley to.

Bruins lose 5-0

Ugh! Not a good game, I listened to the whole thing on wbz 1050. Ugh!

Bruins Ready For Preseason Game

Bruins are looking good. My guess is that Brian Finley will be in net. Phil Kessel should be on the first line. Jonathan Sigalet should be on the first unit defence. Sigaket should be the backup, but they mighttry and use the other goalies that they invited to camp, or the Be A Bruin Goalie winner. I don't know if this will acually be the way the Bruins are going to do things with Lewis, but I know that I got some of that right. I don't know why, but I am a Brian Finley fan, so I really just want him to start. Who knows, just tune into wbz 1030 AM at 12:55, the game will start at 1:00

And So it Begins...Part 2

Tune in to wbz 1030 AM, not FM at 12:55 PM, for the pregame show. The game begins at 1:00 PM against the Devils in Lowell. Expect most rookies to play, and don't expect any key players to be playing. I am guessing that Brian Finley will start in net for the game.

Jack Johnson to Boston?

I sure hope not, because thay want a d-man, and a top forward, probably Glen Murry, and Jurcina.

The Bruins Weekly Random News

Marc Savard recently told reporters he had to call a Bruins player 10 times to find his way around Boston, just yesterday, it was announced that he bought a new car with a navigation system!

Some Surprising Standouts

After the first day of the Boston Bruins Veteren camp, one player really stood out. As a complete suprise, the person was Brian Finley. They say that the way he played in net today, it will be hard for the coaches to cut him, only time will tell

Bruins cut some camp Players

peter Chiarelli announced today t hat he has cut some camp invitees today. The players are Matheiu Curadeau, Andrew Andricopoulis, Mike Buston, Mike Hartwick, Justin Wallingford, Brian Yandle, and Ryan Moir.

Retired as a Bruin

Free agent foward Tom Fitzgerald is calling it quits, after 17 seasons of play.

Bruins Predictions

North East Division Predictions
1. Buffalo
2. Boston
3. Montreal
4. Ottawa
5. Toronto
Why you ask?
Buffalo-Almost the same team with some additions that will help.
Boston-Savard, and Chara, Bergeron, Boyes, Sturm, Axelsson, Kessel, Murray, not bad
Montreal-I like the addition, but if Habs fans think Samsonov is the key, trust me, he is not, he gets injured way to often, if he played a whole season he would score 30+ goals.
Ottawa-I liked the deal they made trading Havlat, and Smolinsky(sp?), but they will have to wait a year or two to have them be good players, so they have good prospects, but that doesn't do much now.
Toronto-this team is not bad, but Raycroft, and Gill doesn't solve much, ask Boston last year.

Site Under Construction

This site is under construction, so I will not be posting as much for the next couple of days.

Bruins Sign Rabbit

Peter Chiarrelli anounced today that the Boston bruins have signed their 6th pick in the 2005 draft to a three year deal. Terms of the contract were not released.

...And So It Begins

The Bruins Rookie camp has officially started. They started working out at 10:00, not sure when they ended. Details and more later today.

Bruins Training Camp Report

It' s the day before the rookie training camp even starts, and the Bruins already have 23 players at their informal skates, and most of the Bruins big name players are their, with the exeption of Glen Murray. Zdeno Chara is leading the group, and it looks like he will be the new captain of the Boston Bruins. Now the Bruins have to sign Stuart, Sturm, and Primeau, although they are under contract this year, they will be free agent next year.
More tomorow, as rookie camp starts, don't be suprised if people like Chris Collins make the team, I' m rooting for him!
