The Boston Bruins held their annual preseason golf tournament on Wednesday and there were some newsworthy tidbits coming from the Bruins players that addressed the media prior to tee time.

Is a new contract extension coming soon for Boston Bruins captain Patrice Bergeron? Is a Bergeron extension even a sure thing?

It appears the new Boston Bruins are starting to show up for training camp and they seem to be fitting in just fine.

If the Boston Bruins can’t establish a No. 2 center early on, it may be worth scouting the Washington Capitals for a trade.

That and more in the latest BHN Puck Links!

Some surprising and rather troublesome news – if you ask this humble puck scribe – out of the Boston Bruins golf tournament today as Boston Bruins captain Patrice Bergeron told the media, at the earliest, he won’t be signing a new contract extension until after the 2021-22 NHL season concludes for the Bruins. We’ve seen this script play out with longtime Bruins veterans two straight offseasons and it didn’t play out great for the Bruins. One can’t assume that an extension is a sure thing anymore after what happened with Boston Bruins captain Zdeno Chara in 2020 and then David Krejci last month. (BHN)

The Boys Are Back! The Boys Are Back!

After a one-year hiatus, the Boston Bruins annual pre-training camp golf tournament took place on Wednesday at the Pine Hills Golf Club in Plymouth, MA. Joe Haggerty and I will be posting plenty of content from that throughout the next few days here but here’s some tweets from there and a skate Wednesday morning on the Boston Bruins Twitter feed:

There are anti-vaxers, and then, there’s simply too many Theo Fleury’s who live in some alternate universe and think they can get away with statements like vaccination cards ‘will be used to help pedophiles find your children’. I am all for freedom of speech but when did so many decide that freedom of speech means you can spread lies, that can potentially lead to death, without consequences. Get over your entitled selves!

Speaking of, I gotta say I agree with Jimmy Kimmel here. Get vaccinated already!
