And the Stars had Barry Gibbs on D traded to Stars with Tom Williams. B's drafted Gibbs 1st overall in 1966 just in front of some guy by the name of Park. He later got traded to the Blues from Atlanta for Dicky Redmond, and we ended up with both.



Yes, I remember Barry Gibbs very well.

So Danton is going to completely change his game, play with grit and determination, play physical, hit along the boards and stand up for his teammates and himself? Sign me up for the new Danton Heinen, the old one can go play for the Laval Rocket, no wait, I like Laval and that isn't fair to them. Let's put him in the LNAH, not as tough as it used to be but would be fun seeing him try to survive there. I hear St. Georges is lovely in January.

Whats up with that ?

I like the city of Laval and the rink where the Laval Chiefs and Titans used to play. Has a classic 70s minor league feel to it, haven't been in about 10 years and I guess the rink where the Rocket plays is much "nicer" but the old rink in Laval was awesome.

It's an awesome rink, made for hockey, not a bad seat in the house , but Laval is Habs , Habs is yucky. You're not allowed to like anything Habs as a Bruins fan . I thought that was a rule everyone knew.

P.S. You like city of Laval until you try to commute from there or to there at rush hour, forget about it.

I hear you, I discovered the fun Pie IX going to a Chiefs game on a Friday night, before GPS. Took a while to make what was suppose to be a quick ride

My friend I'll just say that you really wouldn't enjoy Boston or anywhere inside of the 128 belt... check that... the 495 belt.

It does seem heavy on the left-sided guys. RW and not a conversion LWer. RD always seems to be a bit thin too. But I am open to being show to be wrong :D
You talking about this camp or the pool in general?

Thanks for this- it is better than I thought in RW and RD not digging through it, but I guess righties are a little tougher to come by, too. Maybe it isn't so bad, but agree, more RW in the drafts to come.

Good to hear Heinen bigger thru shoulders- makes sense for spike in hits with Pens

Sweeney under the radar move

I never thought I'd see him back in a Bruins jersey. This made me smile big.
Me too. I got why they traded him but I sure did miss him . He's a Bruin if there ever was a BRUIN. He looked so goofy in those Alberta uniforms.

I can't wait to see him in a spoked B again. That said , I'm tempering my expectations but I'm quite sure he still has something to bring to the table.

Hot take here, I expect to see him deployed on every line and for more than one game.
