Bruins Leadership - “There’s not one word for it,” said Bruins newcomer Charlie Coyle. “Being in Minnesota for seven years, and you hear stories about (Boston’s) locker room and leadership, and then you come and experience it, you’re involved in it and become part of it — it’s everything you’ve heard and more. The leadership trickles down and everyone follows suit. It’s not just one guy; it’s a lot of guys, and everyone picks up after that. They set the standard, and that’s why it’s a tight knit group.” We basically kind of grew up together,” Bergeron said of the veteran core. “We’ve been around so long, and it’s been a fun ride to be part of with these guys, the core group and leaders. We’ve been through a lot, and you realize how hard it is to get to this point, so you’ve got to be thankful for that. “Over the last few years, we’ve built something special with the young guys. They are a big part of this group and this team. They want to get better. They are big-time players and they relish any challenge, so it’s been a fun ride.” That’s pretty awesome to hear from Charlie Coyle. Would like him to love playing here. Might be hard to hold onto him though.

On an off day, he takes his kids to the rink for a skate. That's my kind of guy! they were talking about having practices at night and even traveling to practice somewhere to keep in game mode...that was on NHL network. i dont know if the bruins are looking in to that or are doing that..but it sounded like a good idea to me.

Bruins announce that they’ll hold an intrasquad scrimmage on Thursday at TD Garden at 7pm. Interesting idea to stay sharp given the long layoff.

Gotta sign up to read article? Interesting...I didn't need to. Here you go. Evan Gold has a law degree, an MBA and a passion for hockey that goes back to his childhood in Toronto. All three of those things serve him well in his capacity as keeper of the salary cap, among other duties, for the Boston Bruins. Gold works in relative anonymity. Even close followers of the Bruins may not know who he is or what his job entails. Consider this an introduction. He is 37 and lives just outside Boston with his wife, Amy, and their two young daughters. His title is director of legal affairs for hockey operations, which covers quite a bit of ground. Besides making sure the team uses the Collective Bargaining Agreement to maximum advantage where the NHL’s hard salary cap in concerned, he advises and assists GM Don Sweeney on contract negotiations, roster planning, player salary arbitration, CBA compliance and pro scouting. Gold, always approachable, is a frequent visitor to the Dunkin’ Donuts Center for Providence Bruins games, sitting in the press box with a Bruins contingent that often includes Sweeney and executive director of player personnel John Ferguson Jr. So how did he get here? The path for up-and-coming players is easy to trace -- from junior or college to the minors and so on – but not for young executives who didn’t play pro hockey. We’ll start with education. Gold is a graduate of McGill University in Montreal, where he was a general arts major with a minor in math. Then it was on to law school at the University of Toronto. “I always had my eye on hockey,″ says Gold. While at McGill, he was a sales intern with the Washington Capitals one summer during the pre-Ovechkin days, licking envelopes and making cold calls. “I knew hockey’s what my passion was, so I walked over and made it known to the hockey group that, ‘Hey, I’m Canadian, I love hockey, I know the sport, I want to work in hockey.’ They were very nice and didn’t throw me out the door,″ he said. A few years later, after returning to Washington for an internship in hockey operations, Gold went to work for the Caps when he finished law school. He spent eight years there working with the team’s cap guy, Don Fishman, before being hired by Don Sweeney in 2015. Experience, Gold says, is the best teacher. “You can read the tax code but it doesn’t make you a tax lawyer, necessarily. You can read the CBA – and I encourage people who are interested to do it – but you learn from practice, from seeing how you need to operate, how other teams are manipulating things,″ he said. “I was fortunate enough to have Don (Fishman) as a great mentor and now I have Don Sweeney as a great person to talk about these issues, analyze them, and then we make the best decision together. Even though I am, I guess, in charge of the cap, I use Don (Sweeney) as a wonderful resource because he did it for so many years. “We really do a lot of it together, bouncing ideas off of each other in trying to figure out what the best answer is for the Bruins on any given day.″ There is no such thing as a typical work day. “A day can be a mix of up to 30 different tasks,″ he said, starting with catching up on what happened around the league the night before. “It’s about knowledge accumulation, both from a league perspective and our team. If we played the night before, you may have a sense if anyone got banged up or anything like that,″ he said. An injury – and the Bruins have had more than their share lately -- might mean that a roster move has to be made. And that, of course, could have an impact on the salary cap. “Any of the decisions we’re going to be making going forward, Donnie will have those conversations with (coach) Bruce (Cassidy) and we’ll go from there,″ Gold said. Maneuvering under the cap, which is $75 million this season, is critical for the Bruins. As of Thursday morning, they were only $57,667 under the cap, according to CapFriendly.com. Salary cap gurus around the league do compare notes at times. “We’re all very collegial with one another. I’ve had people call me up and say, ‘Hey, I noticed you guys did this’ and ask why. Everyone is very mindful that on the ice we’re in competition with one another. You don’t want to give away secrets, but at the same time we all are fighting this fight together. To some extent we do share ideas and lessons that we’ve learned over the years,″ Gold said. The end game for Gold is to help put the Bruins in the best possible position. It’s a challenge that he can’t get enough of. “I love my job. I love the competition. I didn’t play the game at a very high level, but that doesn’t make me any less competitive,″ he said. “I love the intellectual challenge in terms of ‘how do you build a championship team?’ and all that goes into that. What is a very simple question has a very complicated answer. The salary cap is certainly a big part of that.″

On Feb. 20, after he was traded from the Wild to the Bruins, everything was novel to Charlie Coyle. After arriving in Las Vegas to meet his new team, Coyle had to figure out a lot of things — including where he’d stand as the Bruins filed onto the ice.
“That’s always the weird thing,” Coyle said. “It really doesn’t matter for me. I’m always feeling it out, seeing who’s going, seeing who doesn’t really care as well. Usually you just go at the end. But maybe there’s a guy who likes to go at the end. So that’s kind of what I did. You just let everyone do their thing. Then you just shuffle in after.”
NHL players like things just so. It matters to Zdeno Chara, who wears No. 33 and formerly wore No. 3 in Ottawa, to take three slap shots in warmups prior to line rushes. Sean Kuraly enjoys a pregame Americano. On the team charter, Charlie McAvoy, David Pastrnak, Matt Grzelcyk and Torey Krug regularly sit at a table to play cards.
This exactitude extends to how the Bruins line up as they prepare to take the ice. Aside from injuries and lineup changes, the order is always the same.
For Game 1 of the Stanley Cup final, Tuukka Rask will lead his teammates onto the TD Garden ice. This is how every starting goalie around the league operates.
After Rask, the skaters’ order, assuming all are healthy, will be as follows:
Zdeno Chara David Backes Patrice Bergeron Torey Krug David Krejci Noel Acciari Marcus Johansson Joakim Nordstrom Charlie McAvoy Jake DeBrusk Brandon Carlo Sean Kuraly Danton Heinen Matt Grzelcyk Connor Clifton Charlie Coyle Brad Marchand David Pastrnak Jaroslav Halak
At the Garden, most of the players exit the dressing room and stand in the hallway as the clock ticks down. Rask, Chara, Backes, Bergeron, Krug and Krejci leave the room and exchange fist bumps with teammates lining the hallway as they walk toward the ice. The rest fall into line.
“It’s just routine. So then it’s just smooth,” Coyle said. “It’s not like, ‘Oh, are you the first one out?’ That’s kind of awkward. Everyone’s got their thing. Everyone’s cool with it. So you just do it. It just becomes a routine. Everyone knows where everyone’s going. That’s how you do it.”
It takes players aback when it’s altered.
“You notice,” said Kuraly of changes in the line when those closest to him are not playing. “You line up and it’s like, ‘Whoa.’ ”
In college, Coyle did not have a choice. At Boston University, the Terriers hit the ice in numerical order. Coyle, who wore No. 3, was at the head of the line.
It doesn’t work that way in the NHL. Players emerge without correlation to their digits. But to those in line, the order is completely understandable.
Some of it is common sense. The Bruins defer to their leaders to bring them onto the ice. Since 2006-07, Chara, as captain, has been the first skater.
“I’ve always thought it was important to have your leaders lead you out onto the ice,” Krug said. “Obviously I’m not jumping (Chara) or Bergy anytime soon, so I try to get as close as I can. Backs is in front of me when he’s in the lineup, so I’m fourth. I just think it’s important that your leaders lead you out to battle, and you want to be part of that group. I don’t know if that says anything, but that’s my thought process behind it. I want to be part of the group that leads guys out there fearlessly and can go to work.”
This is not necessarily so around the league. In Pittsburgh, Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin are the final two skaters onto the ice. Jamie Benn, Dallas’ captain, is last in line.
It’s not like the players pass out numbers among themselves to determine the lineup. It is an organic process. As they consider each other’s pregame routines and figure out approximately where they stand among their peers, the order develops naturally.
For the Bruins, the veteran leaders cluster together. McAvoy (21 years old), DeBrusk (22) and Carlo (22) are in similar career stages. Kuraly and Heinen have overlapping traits as versatile bottom-six forwards.
“From the start of the year, you randomly have different handshakes and different things you do,” Heinen said. “It’s just naturally the way it works out. You never talk about it or anything. It’s just randomly how it works. We’re kind of creatures of habit. We keep on doing the same thing naturally.”
The order is the same for pregame warmups except for one change. Marchand moves up in the line after Bergeron and before Krug to take part in a specific routine.
Before warmups, pucks are placed atop the boards in front of the bench. Bergeron attacks the pile with a swipe of his arm. Marchand sweeps the rest of the pucks off the boards except for one, which he leaves for Krug.
“Before I started knocking all the pucks down, he just always wanted to throw a puck,” Marchand said. “I don’t know what he does with it. I don’t turn around and watch him. But he told me to leave him a puck, so I leave him a puck. Whatever he does with it, he does with it.”
For the game, Marchand drops back in line after Coyle and before Pastrnak, the last skater. The seconds between being fourth and 17th matter.
“I don’t like being out too early,” Marchand said. “I hate being out on the ice waiting for the game to start. I like that when I come out there, we’re pretty much ready to go. Coming out last, you get out there with a minute (to go). You do a quick lap and the game’s starting, rather than being out there. Even another minute, it just seems like it drags on. By the time I get out there, I just want to play.”
The line is about routine and familiarity. It does not affect a game’s outcome. Yet there is something about following the biggest man in NHL history into competition. Feeling almost as big as Chara before the game may help the Bruins when they’re chasing pucks during it.
“He’s always ready to go,” Heinen said. “He’s always looking you in the eye when he’s walking by you. You know he’s ready. He’s a guy you want leading you. He’s the biggest, strongest guy. You don’t really think about it too much. But it’s kind of nice following a guy like that.”

Id follow Bergeron anywhere he wanted to go..... Just saying
