Merry Christmas, Love Richie, Brett, and Lisa!
As of last night, tonight’s tilt at the Garden against the FancyCats is scheduled to proceed; the morning skates have been cancelled for each team and media availability is set for 4:30pm. We’ll update you if this changes.
Yesterday, Anders Bjork was assigned to Providence. This isn’t much of a surprise seeing that he’s in his first year and it’s taken him a while to find his game after recovering from a concussion delivered by Matt Martin. Last season, Danton Heinen in his first year with the Bruins spent most of the season with the Providence Bruins and it paid off for him. Heck, he even spent a few games at the start of this season there and he has been on fire since. This development for Bjork is not a bad thing and if he’s as driven as we think he he is, he will be a better player for it. Playing time helps younger players and he’ll get plenty of minutes down with the P-Bruins.
But why did they send him down now as opposed to a couple of weeks ago? It’s probably due to Adam McQuaid coming back and needing the roster spot. As a natural left shooting defenseman, Matt Grzelcyk has been a great addition to that third pairing, allowing Kevan Miller to play his natural side. At this point it’s unclear where McQuaid would slot in, unless Bruce Cassidy decides to sit Brandon Carlo for a few games.
With Bjork down in Providence, that means that Frank Vatrano will be back in the lineup. Where will he be? What will he do? Is this going to mess up that fiery third line (Heinen-Nash-Backes)? Stay tuned.
Suck it Sad Face LUONGO and Crying Kesler!
THE BRUINS ARE STANLEY CUP CHAMPIONS!
Marchand with the empty net dagger!
Random thoughts Joe Thornton would not be the Joe Thornton he is today if he stayed in Boston
Begeron with the shorty!
Goal under review.
Good goal!
you dang kids ….. how is everyone
Watching the 2011 Cup Finals so I’m having fun.
I watched that garbage USA/Sweden game funny how once they took that BC goalie out they scored some goals and didn’t allow anything
Saw a gif of the slash at the end.
USA looked like crap most of the game.
It sucked. I watched a little of USAvRussia & much of USAvDenmark, and USA dominated, but they were a shadow of their former selves today.
Sounds like they ran out of freedom.
they chose the die option
That option is clearly stipulated on the contract!
Yo! Just got in from shoveling. How are you?
well my day off was going to go to fancy cats game but you know snow I guess
now just hanging out with the wee lad watching Sharks/Leafs
Congrats on the little one!
why thank you it’s pretty awesome
We were supposed to get about half a foot but so far nothing worthy shovelling.
Bergeron!
Bergeron!
And puck dropped for Game 7! Let’s win the Cup, shall we?
Is this the latest running MFA in the history of MFAS? …
I think so thanks to no hockey and cabin fever.
No hockey, no beer make Homer something something

Go crazy?
Don’t mind if I do!

LUONGO! LUONGO! LUONGO!
USA is getting their ass handed to them by the Swedes.
And the end of Hot Goalie Syndrome has arrived
