In a season, I usually manage to watch at least 70 games. I haven’t made it through an entire game since January and I’ve sure as hell watched a lot less than 70 this season.

Many on this site do not remember, the arrogance of teams from the past fan base who felt they were entitled to the cup, sorry I always hated those great Canadian cups winning teams, no one more classy then Jean Beliveau, and greatness of Guy Lefleur, Robinson and others but their fans sucked, but I always respected those players. The recent actions of fans from Canada, has cemented my thoughts. Nothing I like not to do is root for a Ottawa team that has struggled for so long, but that ship has sailed for me.

New Bruins Prospect Acquired Via Trade Turns In Eye-Catching Performance
There will be plenty of chatter surrounding Fraser Minten now that he is a highly regarded Boston Bruins prospect.
And the 6-foot-2, 195-pound forward gave Bruins fans plenty to talk about with the performance he put on for Boston’s AHL affiliate Sunday.
Minten, who the Bruins acquired from the Toronto Maple Leafs in the Brandon Carlo trade, netted a natural hat trick in Providence’s 4-1 win over the Springfield Thunderbirds. It was just Minten’s third game with Providence.
The 20-year-old sure looked comfortable playing next to fellow Bruins prospects, though. Minten scored off of feeds from Georgii Merkulov, Billy Sweezey and Fabian Lysell and dished out an assist on Providence’s final goal of the game for a four-point outing.
Minten is known for being a high-volume scorer. He tallied 31 goals for the Kamloops Blazers of the WHL during the 2022-23 season. Minten has nine goals and eight assists at the AHL level this season and appeared in 15 games for the Maple Leafs, totaling two goals and two assists.
Bruins general manager Don Sweeney compared Minten to Charlie Coyle after the trade was finalized and Boston sure could use Minten’s goal-scoring prowess. Whether Minten gets to showcase that at the NHL level this season with the Bruins having 14 games left, remains to be seen.

We could have been around #6 right now, but they beat FLA & TBL after the TDL.
I was hoping the Bruins could make a push for a playoff spot after the TDL, but after watching the last two games ...what's the point??
Tage Thompson has become one of my favorite players in the league, (right after Marchand and Pasta)
..is there any chance the Bruins could swing a trade for Thompson in the off-season (maybe for Swayman, a forward and/or picks)?
..it doesn't hurt to dream

Nothing to lose by bringing up and playing Minten, Lysell, Merk etc
if a canadian team wins it, i'd hope for WPG or OTT... seeing the reaction to either of them being the team to bring the cup back to Canada before Toronto or the oilers would be hilarious
I also think wpg gets a lot of hate and it would be a good thing for them given their status as an undesirable market

How are guys like Brown,Beecher,Koepke playing every single night? Perfect opportunity to give some of the younger guys a good stretch of games with really no pressure, but nope gotta see if Patrick Brown is worth a new contract. Makes zero sense to me.
Certainly not going to catch Buffalo in the tank game. Will be hard to move above 9th without lottery luck. I just want to see effort and see which of these guys belong next year. I think all the guys we got at the deadline have at least a point already, and I like them all so far.
At least give Korpi some work!! He should be starting tonight.
id like to see korpi get 3 starts in a row here.
Ive seen enough of the sway
Ive seen enough of the sway
Love Sway. Hope he will be back to his oldself again, better and more constant next year.
