Bruins Daily: Bruins Eleven; Patrick Kane, NHL Trade Rumors
The Boston Bruins are making TD Garden the most-feared arena in the NHL.
That and much more in the latest Boston Hockey Now Bruins Daily:
Boston Bruins
As I stated below, right now, TD Garden has to be the toughest arena for a visitor to win in. The Boston Bruins tied an NHL record by winning their 11th straight win (6-1 over the Chicago Blackhawks), to start the season on home ice. The players are protecting the house on the ice, but so are the fans in the stands.
Could one of those Blackhawks players the Boston Bruins embarrassed on the ice Saturday become a Bruin by the 2023 NHL trade deadline? Future hall of famer Patrick Kane is about to become a hot commodity on the NHL trade market and the Bruins are expected to be trade suitors for him.
