The Boston Bruins are just one a few teams that are holding development camps this season. Starting this week, young prospects and camp invitees will work with Director of Player Development Jamie Langenbrunner and these other two guys.

Yes, just in case you missed it, it wasn’t the two Jacks, Ahcan and Studnicka, who now wear those numbers but rather the old dudes who won the Stanley Cup in those sweaters: Chris Kelly and Adam McQuaid. Chris Kelly is a Player Development Coordinator while Adam McQuaid was invited to try it out informally. Langenbrunner said that McQuaid has a lot of knowledge and skills to impart and is welcome if he wants to join once the staffs have been shuffled and more importantly, if he wants to.
Anyway, here is the list of who is at camp.

🎥 #NHLBruins forward prospect John Beecher on his recovery from shoulder surgery: "Just knocking some of the rust off still. I’ve still only had five or six actual skates since my surgery. I’m coming along. But it’s just another step in the process to get back for the season." pic.twitter.com/ruS8tGv7Zu

Camp continues this week through Friday. It seems that vaccinated fans can attend to watch from the stands.

Got on the roof to fix some siding. Checked for bees, wasps, etc. Stung in the neck.. directly where it hurts first. Went back for more…. right in the face!
Oh, it’s on now!!!
Ooof! That’s brutal!
Maybe next time don’t summon Candyman when working on the house!
Morning all. It’s way too nice out to be working. I need some rewirement!
I tried the bagel place in the next town over for maybe the 2nd time ever. Seriously, I think BagelBruin has been there more recently than I, and he lives 800 miles away. But it is in the opposite direction from my morning commute, then pandemic shut everything down. It’s probably 5 miles each way but 10-15 minutes to drive because of stoppages. It’s not bad – I’ll have to try it again.
But I haven’t had a decent hazelnut coffee in years. I’m calling it a win.
Yeah it can be a very fine line with flavored coffee. There was a chocolate truffle coffee I liked that wasn’t too overwhelming. But of course I can’t find it anymore.
Flavored coffee is normally geared to the average American”s taste. Yuck. It’s great when you find one that’s mellow. I used to mix flavored to unflavored at home… 5 – 1 unflavored!
Nick Ritchie and Ondrej Kase sign with Leafs.
Oh hey, Ty Anderson with the quote that someone deleted on me yesterday:
Krejci sounds like such an exotic name. It cracks me up that it means “Taylor”. And Pasta is Smith, right?
I knew a guy who was called “szewc” – pronounced shevi-etz – it was Polish for ‘shoemaker’, and I never understood why.
Like the beer!!!
Olomouc is like 25 mins from where he grew up, too
Good morning!
Day two of rewirement! Jo went right to work painting yesterday… She does not have a good handle on this yet…
There are still some free agents out there. One big fella from Slovakia might be able yo eat some minutes, just sayin’
Today, we paint more!
Jo doesn’t have an off switch, does she?
But, she would like to live in a nice house before winter, so I understand it. More time to relax later.
Jo has no off switch. I’m trying to unplug Jo, then plug her back in.
Yes, I would like some Chara
