the update - no real update on bruins

No updates to the blog over the last little while, as things have been pretty much in a holding pattern with the Bruins, gearing up for training camp, beginning September 19th.

The B's have brought all outstanding UFAs under contract (or jettisoned the players), and now all eyes are on youngsters Nate Thompson, Martins Karsums (photo above), and Blake Wheeler.

The next great savior in net, Tuukka Rask, is scheduled for another year in Providence, with Thomas and the apparently-now-okay Manny Fernandez battling for the number one spot on the Bruins.

Ongoing drama with Carl Soderburg continue. He has apparently decided to play in Sweden for another year. Or has he? Yes he has. But has he really?

Tune in again and find out.

I'll start dropping posts more regularly when the Bruins have done something beyond trying to shed excess layers of "summer fat".

Training camp is a little under a month away.
