A lot of happenings

Its been a while since we have had an update. In that time Bruins nation has gone through some serious ups and downs. First a shaky and slow start to the season, the B’s look like they are having a really hard time finding themselves. They have been inconsistent at best. Its still early, lets hope they wake up and turn this bus around. The next big news item is that Lucic is out on long term injured reserve. He underwent successful surgery on his right index finger this past Sunday. He will miss at least 10 games. That sucks. Third, the popular Chuck Kobasew is now a member of the Wild. Who saw that coming? In return the B’s pick up a 2011 second-round pick, veteran forward Craig Weller, and the rights to fourth-round pick Alexander Fallstrom. A quick google on Weller shows

2007-2008 COYOTES 59 3 8 11 -7 80 0 0 1 72 4.2
2008-2009 WILD 36 1 2 3 -3 47 1 0 0 27 3.7

for the last couple of years. Not that impressive but he is a big boy. He comes in at 6′4 220lbs and 28 years old. Thats a big body to clean out the corners.

The final thing to note is that Bruins have recalled Vladimir Sobotka and Brad Marchand from Providence, this is a great opportunity for these two to make a spot for themselves on the B’s. I wish them well. It should be really exciting to watch the new guys the next few games.

What are you guys/girls thinking?

B’s trade Ward

The Bruins have traded Aaron Ward to (of all teams after last season) Carolina. In return the B’s get a 4th rounder and forward Patrick Eaves.

They must have faith in Johnny Boychuk…

Bruins announce Schedule for NHL Trade Deadline.

The team will practice at Ristuccia Arena in Wilmington, MA from 11:30 – 12:15 p.m., with Bruins players available at approximately 12:20 p.m. and Head Coach Claude Julien available at approximately 12:50 p.m.

So this is interesting. Do you hold a conference to say, we are not making any moves or do you hold it to announce big changes? Who is coming to the Bruins? Jay Bouwmeester? Who is leaving? Fernandez? Kessel?

The Ottawa Sun was reporting that the Anaheim Ducks will trade Chris Pronger to the Boston Bruins in exchange for Phil Kessel and possibly more — Ottawa Sun

Derek Morris is also almost certain to be traded, with the Boston Bruins, Philadelphia Flyers and New Jersey Devils possibly interested — Ottawa Sun
