Bruins rumoured to be interested in Hoffman .. Hoffman has a 10-team no trade list so hopefully Bruins are not on it and even if they were, with Bruins having such a good season, he might change his mind..BUT, if we WERE on the list, I wouldn't want him. Blues are also interested. His salary of just under 5.2 runs out in 2020. Stats are down this season but thats expected with the way Sens are playing. But I hate sending prospects to a team in our own division. Sweeney/Neely have done un unblieveable job restocking our prospects whereas before they took over, the cupboards were bare and they kept us competitive with 94+ pts past 3 seasons. Bruins right now have great chemistry. The 3 game series vs Habs, if that's how they play in postseason, Maybe Bruins should stay status quo..Huffman will require a big return and I dont want to give up Zboril, Lauzen, Strudwick and Donato should be an untouchable. I read so many excellent things about him. I bet he'll daun a Bruin jersey after Olympics. We have 7-8 players in the AHL who can step up and play now so I really dont think we should make a drastic move and DS said he's not gonna be very active at the deadline day. Here's a great article on Huffman: www.sportsnet.ca/hockey/nhl/lucky-nhl-gm-may-able-win-big-mike-hoffman-trade/

I’m ok with where we are could it have been better sure but I still see a ton of talent in the pipeline. Gonna need a few more years to really digest where all the talent shakes out but let’s remember the window with are core isn’t gonna last forever..

I found this article interesting. Fuck Barzal, we passed on him, how many people passed on Charlie McAvoy or David Pastrnak? Fuck Seguin and Hamilton, there were rumors of certain character issues with both of them, I think the front office has a view of these players that us as fans and media don't have access to. Nothing is done in a vacuum, we should have dumped Louie at the trade deadline but we were in a playoff race and pressure comes from different areas in these decisions. Wheeler was good and now is a star but he wasn't as good as Rich Peverley at the time and Peverley had more than a small roll in our 2011 Cup. Also Winning a Cup trumps any bullshit about losing trades long term. We've lost some trades but we've also dumped some players at the right time value wise and we've drafted extremely well. I always get a little defensive when some writer is spouting some facts and drawing conclusions on my Bruins.

Whenever people say shit about Barzal I just remind them that Florida or Dallas should have taken him before us.

Fuck TSN again. They're living in Tampa Bay's world as they say while the rest are drooling over Boston's 17 game pt streak.. Toronto Scabs Network{TSN} will renege on anything good that happens to Bruins but they'll be all over anything bad like the Marchand incident.

The first person I thought about was nfld77 when I saw one vote for Price as best goalie. I think TSN made that up out of thin air just to piss you off. LOL

Because Coaches were not allowed to pick their own goalie I’m gonna guess it was Babcock who had him in the Olympics.. I’m curious who Gallant picked for Coach of the Year though..

Have gotten asks for a blog take on Marchand but it's the same as the last one I wrote. A snake can shed his skin. So can a player ("super pest" to super star"). But a snake is still a snake, I suspect NHL will slap him on wrist forever. Nothing changes. hockeybuzz.com/blog/Paul-Stew…

Maybe he didn’t vote. 31 teams and only 30 votes. I think McKenzie stated he didn’t include his vote because it would have been obvious .. I got this from your link 😉 - Vegas bench boss Gerard Gallant was the de facto unanimous choice as Best Coach. He received 30 votes from his peers, unable to get 31 because coaches could not vote for their own team or own players. So Gallant did cast a ballot but obviously not for himself. Since the coaches were ensured all votes would be registered anonymously, we’re not able to identify the one coach other than Gallant who got a vote.
