BHN Puck Links: Bruins Line Changes Working; Avalanche And Fleury

Published

on

Boston Bruins

Give Boston Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy credit where it’s due, so far his reshuffling of the team’s forward lines is working.

Are the Pittsburgh Penguins as good as their record indicates?

Could Marc-Andre Fleury end up being the answer between the pipes for the Colorado Avalanche?

That and more in the latest BHN Puck Links:

Boston Bruins

After some line-shuffling from Boston Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy, the B’s suddenly have some scoring depth upfront. Overall, in their two wins over the weekend, the team as a whole seemed to be playing with increased urgency and cohesion. Is this a sign of things to come or just lightning in a bottle against two subpar teams like the Red Wings and Sabres? (BHN)

Here’s an in-depth look back at the 5-1 win for the Boston Bruins on Sunday. (BHN)

Count Calgary Flames defenseman Nikita Zadorov as an NHLer disgusted over the fact he and other NHLers can’t represent their respective countries in Beijing. As I’ve stated numerous times, I sympathize with the frustration from NHLers over the league not allowing them to participate in the Olympics next month, but again, their anger and frustration should be directed at Donald Fehr and the Executive Board of the NHLPA, not the league. The NHL simply did what Fehr agreed to on behalf of the players. (Calgary Hockey Now)

After a crazy 2021 in the NHL, what can we expect in 2022? (Sportsnet)

Should the Boston Bruins consider acquiring James Neal from the St. Louis Blues? Neal just passed through waivers so I’m guessing no.

 

 

Great hire by the Dallas Stars who brought on FOBHN (Friend of Boston Hockey Now) and all-around great guy Steve Greeley onto their management and Hockey Op’s team!
