[Demon Eyes]

Doesn't look like they had very many paying customers in Calgary.

After a closer look. That picture is from an AHL game.

My hotel is next to the hockey arena here in Dusseldorf and there is a game the last night. Think I'm clear on not being roped into a work dinner. Dusseldorf is the worst team in the DEL but they do have a former Bruin on the squad in Paul Potsma.

So I was looking at Chicago's lineup for tonight's game and noticed that 50% of their forwards are former Bruins.

1st line - Nick Foligno
2nd line - Taylor Hall and Tyler Bertuzzi
3rd line - Ryan Donato
4th line - Pat Maroon and Craig Smith

God rest his soul. I remember when he got traded here in '88 IIRC. He played in the playoffs that year and a friend of mine delivered pizzas to him at the hotel. Can't remember for sure but I believe it was at the Hyatt Regency on the Charles in Cambridge. He was pretty lonely there and was IIRC was a scratch for one of the home games and called for a pizza.
My friend delivered it and he asked him if he wanted to hang out to watch the game but he could only stay for a few minutes because he was making deliveries. Wish I could accurately remember the whole story but that's the gist of it.
My buddy said that he was a "nice guy, seemed lonely because he was here in Boston alone" and didn't bring any family along.

Nice seeing Lauzon tonight. I always liked him. There was a decent amount of hype around him pre neck injury in junior and then it kind of quieted down. But he has become a valuable guy for his role. Good for him. I’d like him on the Bruins in place of Peeke today, but I am glad he was picked over Clifton in the expansion draft.

Clifton turned himself into a pretty good player and put in a few good years of service before pricing himself out. And all that said, that was a good non re-sign by the Bruins. Buffalo signed up for too much cap hit and term for what Clifton brings.
