Boston Bruins

Is the 2022-23 Boston Bruins forward group the deepest one since the 2013-14 President’s Trophy winners? Taylor Hall‘s two-goal outing in a 3-1 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday was another example of this current team’s depth up front.

Tampa Bay Lightning forward Pat Maroon decided to take the high road on off the cuff comments by NESN Boston Bruins play-by-play man Jack Edwards about his weight, and donate to a mental health charity.

Two weeks ago, it was reported here at Boston Hockey Now that an NHL executive believed the Boston Bruins could be a major NHL trade suitor for Chicago Blackhawks winger Patrick Kane. Well, not only does longtime Blackhawks beat reporter Mark Lazerus agree, but he also is certain now that a Kane trade before the 2023 NHL Trade Deadline is inevitable.
