Bruins Daily: McLaughlin To AHL; Hall; Erase Hockey Canada

The Boston Bruins made some not so well-received roster cuts on Thursday, and is it time to erase Hockey Canada?



That, more Boston Bruins, and NHL news. Also, the latest in NHL trade and free agent rumors in the latest Boston Hockey Now Bruins Daily.

Boston Bruins

Forwards Marc McLaughlin, Johnny Beecher and Fabian Lysell were part of a wave of roster cuts for the Boston Bruins on Thursday. That left the Bruins with 25 players, including the injured Taylor Hall and Matt Grzelcyk, who were both wearing no-contact jerseys at Thursday’s practice at Warrior Ice Arena.

Boston Bruins head coach Jim Montgomery is pretty impressed with the toughness of Taylor Hall.

Will Montgomery Czech out of the the exciting trio of forwards he used in Hall’s absence once the Boston Bruins winger is back from his upper-body injury? Pavel Zacha looked pretty comfortable on the left side with David Krejci and David Pastrnak.

IMHO, keep them together for another preseason game and even if Hall comes back, start this trio for the season opener next Wednesday against the Washington Capitals.

NHL

Per The Athletic, Vegas Golden Knights owner Bill Foley has a verbal agreement in place to buy Bournemouth FC in the English Premier League.

Hockey Canada is a disgrace. Period. End of story. Blow it up and bring the guilty to justice!

I wholeheartedly agree with former Boston Bruins defenseman Aaron Ward, that Hockey Canada needs to be stripped down and built back up again.

You can listen to Ward’s reasoning on Melnick In the Afternoon on TSN 690.

As the three-time Stanley Cup champion pointed out, the absolute tone deaf lying and doubling down when facts continue to prove them wrong is an insult to all Canadian hockey parents who poured money, blood, sweat and tears into this corrupt organization. Just like Hockey Canada tried to erase sex scandals and rape with slush funds unknowingly paid for by Canadian hockey parents, it’s time to erase Hockey Canada.
