The Bruins Off-Season - Drafts, Trades and Deals

Now that the sting has worn off from this year's version of the Great Bruins Playoff Failure, it is time to assess the Bruins' off-season maneuvering.

The obvious stuff first:

Drafted Tyler Seguin: considered the 1a (next to Taylor Hall) in this year's draft, Seguin is apparently an "Yzerman-like Centre". The Bruins are so confident in the 18-year old's abilities, they are already making moves based around acquiring him (see below).

Traded Dennis Wideman (and picks) for Nathan Horton and Gregory Campbell: I'm one of the few Bruins fans that liked Wideman, and thought the fans gave him a rough ride for performing a difficult job. Admittedly, sometimes more poorly than you'd like, but far more often solidly and reliably. Nathan Horton is a solid pick-up, and provides some needed relief on wing - he's a perennial 20 to 30 goal scorer.

Craig Ramsay takes Head Coaching job with the Thrashers: Ramsay is a very cool guy, he reminds me a little of William S. Burroughs, and preaches a solid defense. I believe the Bruins will miss Ramsay's ability to really connect with players and stick to the game plan. Chara has undoubtedly learned a great deal from Ramsay and I wish him all the best in Atlanta, because he got a raw deal in Philly and deserves the opportunity.

Bruins re-sign Boychuk and Recchi: Jonny Boychuk re-upped for 2 years and Recchi for 1, each bringing something good to the Bruins. Smart signings with minor cap hits.

Bruins trade Sobotka to St. Louis: This just happened before the free-agency opened. Sobotka was a restricted free-agent, and I suspect this is a cap pressured situation, because after years of waiting for him, Sobotka finally started coming into his own in last year's playoffs. Too bad he's now a Blue. In exchange the B's get a Boston College player named David Worsofsky, a puck-moving defenseman. And so, the circle of life completes itself - out goes Wideman, in come Worsofsky.

The Rumours:

There are rumours that the B's are dangling Marc Savard as trade bait, now that they've drafted Seguin. I don't know what the Bruins want in return, but I hope they realize players of Savard's ability are very hard to come by. He's got Adam-Oates-ian vision and skill, and he makes mediocre wingers better. Imagine him setting up Horton?

There are also rumblings that the Bruins are willing to trade Tim Thomas, and that Thomas has waived his no-trade clause. Again, I don't know what the Bruins think they need, but to trade away a Vezina-winning goalie after a half-season of being outplayed by a rookie seems a bit rash. The Bruins' road to hell is paved with one-year wonders. They must have believed in Thomas at some point - did they think he was the greater risk of being the one-year wonder than Rask?

I'm not really comfortable with trading away your top Centre and a freshly Vezina'd heroic goalie for mostly-unproven talent. They are shedding contracts but not really looking at the dead wood.
Which brings me to the...

Questions:

Why isn't Ryder's name coming up in trade talks?

Why isn't Sturm's name coming up in trade talks?

and:

What's happening with Blake Wheeler? Are they shedding the big kid, or are they going to continue to invest in his development?

While this isn't the most homoerotic photo of Tyler Seguin I've seen, it is in the top three:

It could be an interesting few days in the Bruins nation if trade or free-agency deals get done. I get the feeling a salary dump is coming on.

Bruins Beat Philly in OT - Take Game 1

The Bruins opened their playoff series against Philly with an overtime win, this afternoon in Boston. They may have given up 2-goal leads three times in the game, but the B's eventually won it in OT with drama.

Marc Savard played his first game back since his concussion, and was eased into the lineup by coach Julien, who kept Savard's ice time low until the overtime period.

In the overtime, the Bruins held the play for long, frantic stretches in the Philly end, and Brian Boucher's reputation (gained from besting Brodeur in the last round) was shown to be well-earned.

As is often the case with frantic offensive attacks, defensemen pinch in to help push the offense, and as a consequence the Bruins gave up odd-man rushes and had to rely on Tuukka Rask to stop a few breakaways.

But the Bruins kept up the pressure, wearing down the Flyers, and Marc Savard scored the game winner on a mini-slapper. His celebration was pretty great, and he tossed his stick into the crowd.

Bergeron, Satan, Chara, Recchi and Ference played very well. Wideman got schooled on Briere's goal, but kept the puck in at the blue line to set up Savard's goal, so what does that mean? He played okay?

Rask, despite letting in 4 goals, played incredibly, but I got the feeling the Flyers were starting to figure him out a little based on where they were testing him.

Finally, it looks like the B's will be without Marco Sturm for awhile. He tweaked his knee 26 seconds into the game and had to be helped off the ice. Will the Bruins call someone up, or just activate Thornton or someone, I wonder.

Today's game could have been a nightmarish loss for the Bruins, but instead it is a triumphant victory - it's odd in hockey how close those two poles are.

Game 2 goes Monday in Boston.

Bruins Look Solid in Key Win Against Buffalo

The Bruins just finished playing the best 3rd period they've played all season, and took a very important win away from the Sabres.

Contrary to the boos in the crowd, Dennis Wideman had a great game, blocking shots, giving and taking hits, and scoring the game-winner.

Tuukka Rask looked solid in nets, making key saves look easy and keeping the Bruins in the game against some sporadic (but intense) pressure from the Sabres.

This was one of the rare home wins for the Bruins, and also one of the few times this season that they've come back to win after trailing.

Once again, I have to say that Buffalo, like Washington, looked beatable all night. The Sabres may have had Lalime in net tonight, but it was the defensemen having their passes deflected, or the forwards being out hustled for the puck that won the game for the Bruins. Lalime played fine.

Having just seen the last two games, I would much rather the Bruins play Washington or Buffalo in the playoffs, rather than New Jersey. NJ plays a variation of the Bruins style and I think the B's have a better chance exploiting the differences in the Caps' and Sabres' systems.

So, this win gives the Bruins 87 points. The Canadiens, having lost to the Hurricanes tonight, remain at 87 points as well. Thank you, sweet Carolina.

The Flyers aren't playing tonight, so they bummmp down to 8th with 86 points and the Rangers in 9th with 84. These two teams play a home-and-home to finish the season, just to keep things interesting.

The important point, however, is that the Bruins keep 3 points between themselves and 9th spot. That elbow room will help in these last few games.

Bruins Shut Senators Out

Sorry for my absence here on Black, White and Gold. I've been working a writing contract that has kept me really busy and unable to do regular updates. Although, maybe that's for the best, given that the B's last four games have all been losses, and nobody really wants to read my stream of invectives.

Tonight's game against the Senators was what you could euphemistically call a 'defensive battle', but more accurately position as a game between two teams that cannot score.

Tim Thomas got the start tonight (which makes sense), but I was startled to see that Timmy is one game under .500 in his wins and losses, and his GAA is creeping up. It has not been a bad season for Thomas, but it certainly has been inconsistent, and his play of late has added a touch more heart-in-mouth-syndrome than usual. Tonight, however, Thomas was his usual spring-loaded self, and gained the shutout despite a couple of close calls.

The game was tied 0-0 going into the third period, when Patrice Bergeron was finally able to capitalize on a fat rebound to put the Bruins ahead by a goal. About 4 minutes later, Marco Sturm was given a great breakaway feed by Marc Savard, and he potted the Bruins' second of the night. It was all the B's would need for the win.

The Bruins' powerplay was, again, absolutely abhorrent. They went 0-3 and only looked marginally dangerous on one of the man-advantages. I know I know nothing about what actually happens in NHL practices, but are the Bruins even trying to improve this powerplay? I mean, it has been over 30 games and they are still nearly last in the league, run each powerplay at half-impulse-power and look totally disorganized nearly every time out.

Maybe the Bruins need some quality time with Coach O'Connor, my Pee-Wee hockey coach, who taught our team how to run a decent umbrella-style powerplay. We got to the finals that year! Then we lost by two goals. But we had an effective powerplay! But still lost by two goals.

Regardless, Zdeno Chara looked great tonight, and the team welcomed Dennis Wideman back from injury. It turns out they didn't need a good powerplay to win, but man....it sure would be nice to say they had one anyway.

The Bruins play again on Wednesday against Atlanta, and then bundle up for the Holiday break, hoping that Santa brings them some powerplay goals.

Bruins Blow Hurricanes Away - 7-2

Getting a 3-0 lead in the first period is always a good start for a hockey team (especially when you get two in 26 seconds), but to then continue to pile on the goals is a great way to show your opponent that you haven't forgotten your history against them.

After being dismissed by the Hurricanes in last year's playoffs, then blowing their first game of the year against the Capitals, the Bruins were obviously suitably motivated for tonight's match-up against the 'Canes, and ended up winning 7-2.

Marc Savard had a three point night (a goal and two assists) and Shawn Thornton had a goal and a win in a fight against (former Bruins) Andrew Alberts.

Marco Sturm continued his strong return from injury with a goal and an assist, and the Bruin defenders were able to chip in as well (goals for Wideman and Hunwick, two assists for Morris) in the team's victory.

The win was significant, given how poorly they played on Thursday night, in re-establishing the Bruins as an important force in the Eastern Conference. It also obviously provides some vindication for last year's playoff ouster. But most important, I think, is that it allowed the Bruins to begin to gel in front of Tim Thomas, and to reaffirm that this team full of young talents is "for real" again this year.

Like a lot of Bruins fans, I was worried that several members of the B's would experience the sophomore slump, taking a step back in their second year in the league. While one game does not a season make, tonight's match may show that the Bruins youngsters are inspired to play at last year's level (or better) and to build on the team's unexpected successes.

It also pleased me to see the Hurricanes beaten so, so badly by the Black, White and Gold.

The Bruins next play on Thursday against the Ducks, in Boston.

Pre-Season NHL - Bruins 3 - Leafs 2

Another scrambly, somewhat disorganized pre-season game tonight, this time between the Black, White and Gold and the Maple Leafs.

I watched tonight's game online, amidst an alarming number of homophobic trolls pumping out the commentary on the PM sidebar. I spend enough of my life online to know how common this is, but man, it can be a real drag when you are just trying to watch a game. On the plus side, some Francophones logged in and allowed me to practice my French.

For tonight's match, the Bruins put Dany Sabourin in net, who, like Tuukka Rask is fighting for the backup slot behind Tim Thomas. Sabourin played alright, but looked like he'd have a lot of trouble facing a full (ie: not mostly prospects) NHL team, and will probably start the season with Providence. Too many shots just squeaking by the post in the final moments to keep Claude
Julien a young man.

Also positive for the B's was the play of Brad Marchand - one of my "underwhelmers" from yesterday's game really stepped up and played well, scoring the Bruins' second goal. Same thing with Jamie Arniel, who was another "underwhelmer" last night, but tonight played a far quicker game and created opportunities.

Weirdly, it was returning players Byron Bitz and Blake Wheeler who looked a step behind tonight. Hopefully this pre-season rust flakes off quickly, and they can both return to last year's breakout form.

Matt Hunwick, unfortunately, had a brutal game. Hunwick was one of my favourites last year before his season ended with his spleen being removed (off-ice, of course). In tonight's game he was turned inside out on the Leaf's first goal and looked pretty shakey throughout the game, putting shots into shins and missing passes.

Likewise for new Bruin free-agent Derek Morris, who mangled three clearing attempts in the same shift. I truly hope this guy improves because his contract is what's keeping the Bruins from re-signing Kessel.

On the whole, however, I was fairly pleased with the Bruins' win. Despite some sloppy play and a few scary moments in net (and online), it was fun to watch Patrice Bergeron, Michael Ryder and Dennis Wideman playing at their customary level, and also, much like yesterday, it was just fun to watch the B's on the ice again.

bruins go two-for-two through the weekend

Last night's shoot-em-up in Toronto was blocked for us Bruins fans in Montreal; we were left to watch the Canadiens and Sabres as the rest of the country watched the Festival of Red Lights in TO.

In Saturday night's game, neither goalie was particularly effective, as Pogge and Joseph let in 7 goals, and Manny Fernandez - still struggling to find his form - let in 5. However, despite the porous goaltending, the Bruins' firepower won the night, which was a welcomed change given how hard it has been for the team to score lately. As the adage says, the team that scores more goals wins, and the Bruins won, 7-5.

Tonight's match against the Flyers was carried nationwide on NHL Network, and was a very entertaining game. The Flyers scored first, but the B's roared back after a fight between Montador and Carcillo, and potted three unanswered goals - two by Lucic. They added another in the third period, and the game remained 4-2 until inside the final 2 minutes, when Philly scored and drew to within one goal. However, despite some scary moments, the B's were able to hold on and win the game 4-3.

Tim Thomas was, as usual, unorthodox and unbelievable, making at least two saves by diving across the open goal-mouth and deflecting the puck aside - in one instance losing his helmet, stick and blocker in the process. Totally awesome.

Mark Recchi (who, according to my Toronto correspondents, is "kind of hot") continued his strong play of late, registering the winning goal in tonight's match-up, and Dennis Wideman had shifts that were some of the best I've seen any defender play this year.

On the whole, a couple of solid games with crisp passing, powerplay execution, and good overall team chemistry...and not a moment too soon. The Bruins have seven games remaining before the playoffs, and are starting to show the form necessary to succeed in the post-season.

The Bruins' next game is Tuesday, at home, against the Lightning.

bruins 3 - flyers 1

Just a quick post to summarize the Bruins' game against the Flyers last night. With the score deadlocked at one-goal-apiece through most the game, the Bruins potted two more in the third period, in the span of 25 seconds, to ultimately decide the game.

Tim Thomas was brilliant in nets, looking calm and sharp against a layered offensive attack from Philly. In response, David Krejci and Dennis Wideman had outstanding games, with each player taking care of business in both ends of the rink.

Bruins goalscorers were Ryder, Krejci and Wideman, but won the game due to tighter defense and a fast-action breakout from their own zone.

The B's meet the newly-coached Ottawa Senators tonight.

Of Note: There is no love lost between the Bruins and Flyers - Randy Jones is the....player....responsible for running Patrice Bergeron into the boards from behind, leading to his concussion problems, and Scott Hartnell was the....player....responsible for deliberately driving Mark Stuart's head into the dasher boards. In my book, the Flyers organization deserves no sympathy for the above reasons, but moreso for their shabby treatment of Roger Neilson, Bill Barber and (now Bruins assistant coach) Craig Ramsay.

bruins 1 - rangers 0

Bruins goaltending prospect, Tuuka Rask (who also rocks a solid Jedi name), got the start against the Rangers in yesterday's afternoon affair.

This was Rask's first start in over a year, and I think intended to be a barometer to assess where his level of play has come since his last start. And Rask did not disappoint, turning away 35 shots to earn his first NHL shutout.

More importantly, as a former first-round pick of the Maple Leafs (acquired from Toronto in the Andrew Raycroft deal), Rask has been "the goalie of the future" for a few years now, and yesterday's game suggests the future could be now.

Rask is a tall lanky geek (to quote from Spinal Tap) and looks like he'll need to bulk up a bit before being an NHL-regular, but perhaps the B's are trying to determine which goalies get the nod next season.

If Rask is in a position to be a suitable backup to Thomas, he'll gain experience while also keeping Timmy's feet to the fire with the knowledge that the Next One is waiting in the wings - generally considered a good way to keep your number one goalie performing at his highest level.

In yesterday's game, Marc Savard got the lone goal, tipping home a Dennis Wideman point shot. Milan Lucic started the play by hammering a Rangers forward into the glass, giving Wideman enough time to set up the shot that won the game.

Coach Julien had the following to say about Rask's performance:

"Obviously, when you can get a shutout, it’s a real good sign. I thought he was very good. Again, I thought our team did a pretty good job in front of him, and sometimes that’s a normal situation; you want to give him the best chance possible, but when he had to make the big saves, he made them. He was good, so I think it was a great first game for him this year with us, and certainly it gives us an idea of what he’s capable of doing, in the future."

The Bruins play this afternoon against the Habs....

bruins 3 - devils 4 (OT)

I was out for the early part of the evening, enjoying Johnny Walkers in a local watering hole (sadly, surrounded by Habs fans; happily, watching their club lose), and returned home only to see the 3rd period of tonight's Bruins game against the Devils, streaming online.

When I tuned in the B's were down 2-0, but came out flying in the 3rd period, showing the consistent speed and forechecking that has been missing from their game in recent weeks. Within five minutes Chuck Kobasew used his pace to capitalize upon a Scott Clemmensen turnover behind the net and, while bungling his wraparound attempt, was still able to get the Bruins first goal of the game.

The Bruins used that momentum to keep up the attack, and around the 7-minute mark Phil Kessel - back tonight after missing games with mono (these guys are kids, remember) - fed a puck from behind the net to Marc Savard at the right post. Savard buried it five hole and the game was suddenly tied.

A few minutes later, Devils forward Michael Rupp drew an interference call against Savard, and on the ensuing powerplay Dennis Wideman's point-shot found its way through the crowd to bulge the twine behind Clemmensen.

Oh, how everything is great at this point! It's raining amber beer and the two feet of snow outside has been replaced by fluffy white sand! Joy! What could possibly go wrong?

Needless to say, the Bruins were not able to hold the lead. While I only saw the third period, Tim Thomas looked to be fighting the puck on every shot and dump in, and his rebound control seemed out of whack. With only 1.45 left in the game, the Bruins let Patrik Elias drive the net and tie it up, and the game went to overtime.

In OT the Bruins kept up their attack, but unfortunately, as also happened in the third period, the defensive part of the Bruins' game did not match their offensive efforts. Just over a minute into the extra frame, Colin White put a slapshot on net, and Jamie Langenbrunner spun the rebound past a prone Thomas. Devils win it in OT.

I'm not really sure what to make of what I saw. In one sense, the Bruins stormed back against a stingy defensive club, potting three fast goals, and showing their dominance with the puck. They got the home crowd riled. They connected fast one-touch passes and broke out of their zone with confidence and speed.

In another sense they ended up losing a game that they had in hand with only a minute left. And I guess we shall see what Coach Julien has to say about it all (updates to come!)

Of Note: The Bruins again gave up the first goal in the game. Phil Kessel returned and looked solid. Milan Lucic played a far better game than he had against Washington and is hopefully returning to form.

bruins 3 - capitals 2 (OT)

The Bruins spent tonight trying to find a rhythm while still shutting down Alexander Ovechkin.

Drawing a penalty seven seconds into the first, and giving up the first goal on the subsequent powerplay, the B's found themselves down early in the game. This seems to be a recurring theme in recent games.

Mid-way through the period, Shawn Thornton picked off an errant Ovechkin pass and dangled Theodore down, before roofing the puck of the goalie's right shoulder. Thornton showed remarkably soft hands for such a hard-faced man; this is the energy player's 4th goal of the season. 1-1 far past the midway part of the first period.

However, in a situation that I think summarized the game, the Bruins' soft defensive coverage allowed the Capitals to score with 20-something seconds left in the period. I'll return to this idea later, but it seems obvious that bonehead defensive coverage will eventually lead to goals-against, and sometimes losses. 2-1 Caps at the end of the first.

Patrice Bergeron made his return to the lineup (as did Ference and Lucic), and played a solid two-way game, as is his style. He showed no ill effects from his second concussion, and it was his play that led to the tying goal.

With about 5 minutes left in the period, Bergeron dove to tip a puck past Alexander Semin, and keep the play in the offensive zone. He then fired a pass through two defenders to Marc Savard, who feined a cross-crease pass and wristed it over Theodore's glove. 2-2 through the end of the second and through the third period.

As the first minute of the game suggested, the Bruins had penalty trouble all night, but it was Washington that drew the haunting whistle.

WoOoOooOo....!

Just as overtime got underway, Niklas Backstrom was called for hooking and the Bruins held a 4-on-3 advantage. It did not take long for the Bruins foursome to find passing lanes and push the Caps players in tight toward Theodore, but it was ultimately just a strange deflection off the leg of Capitals' defenseman Shaone Morrisonn that potted the winner.

The goal was credited to David Krejci, who looked to be trying to thread a pass through to Marc Savard on the far post. But the Bruins get a lucky bounce and take the win in OT.

This game marks the 20th time in 48 games that the Bruins have allowed the first goal. For a team with the record they have, this should not be the case. However it is precisely because they keep winning that they seem to get away with what is often scrambly, undiscliplined play. Case in point, they are now 14-4-2 when allowing the first goal, but they often look shaky for stretches in every game (especially recently).

As a recent post about Dennis Wideman suggests, the Bruins need all their players at full potential to really dominate a game. Without this the Bruins often show traits that a premier team in the league -- say in the Playoffs -- would fatally take advantage of.

If you give a team like Detroit or San Jose the first goal in each game, goals within the last or first minute of any period (the Bruins gave the Caps one of each tonight), regularly allow 30 or more shots a game, and put a long string of players into the penalty box, the best teams will beat you. Especially over a seven-game series.

Playoff runs are fickle things, as many teams can testify, and Bruins' history is littered with grand teams that scuttle in the first round. The Bruins need a return to the hard-hitting, actively forechecking game of early this season because it is their primary tool in dictating the game. By doing so, they'll be in a better position to control the puck, cut down on lazy errors and ponderous high-risk decisions that have littered their game since early December.

when wideman has a bad game...

Dennis Wideman looked pretty rough in the game against the Maple Leafs. He's spent most of a season building on the potential that he displayed at points with St-Louis, and in streaks last year. This season he has been more consistent with the puck - still delivering the first pass with accuracy and timing - but has been vastly improved in the defensive part of his game.

His overall plus / minus ratio is great (plus 26, third in the league), and he's amassed 31 points in 46 games.

But last night, he was fighting the puck the whole game. Turnovers leading to chances, and indecision (in an admittedly tough, two-on-one situation) leading to goals, showcased the Bruins overall reliance on Wideman playing at the top of his game.

Wideman represents a valuable commodity in today's NHL.

Like Montreal's Andre Markov, or Chicago's Duncan Keith, he is a tough defender who can also play pivot on the powerplay and be a large cog in the offensive wheel. Arguably, the downside of having one of these 'upside' defensemen is that a team comes to rely on that ability on a nightly basis. Therefore, when Wideman has a bad game, the Bruins have a bad game.

Andrew Ference is reportedly nearing a return to the Bruins lineup (after All-Star break, apparently), and he will offer another offensive weapon from the B's blue line, which should relieve the pressure on Wideman a little. Hopefully by cooling it out a bit, Wideman will rediscover his calm control with the puck.

And provide that confident push from the back-end that the Bruins offense requires.

bruins 4 - panthers 0

The Bruins came out swinging in their tilt against the Panthers last night. Manny Fernandez got the start in nets facing down a resurgent Craig Anderson, but despite any angles that would suggest this being a tight contest, the Bruins simply rolled over the Florida club.

Phil Kessel extended his point-streak to 11 games, notching a goal, and David Krejci has quietly extended his point-streak to 8 games as the Bruins won this game 4-0.

The two notable storylines in last night's game were around Fernandez, who has been stellar in a sort of One-B role, whose shutout marks his seventh consecutive win, and the recurring significance of the Bruins' depth of scoring.

The B's got goals last night from four different scorers, across the top three lines. Blake Wheeler and David Krejci in particular have emerged as legitimate offensive threats, and Phil Kessel has simply not been the same player since being benched by Coach Julien in last year's playoffs. He's been focused and gritty in every game since, and came into this season with a renewed focus. Chuck Kobasew seems to have finally found a home, using his speed to generate opportunities, and Michael Ryder, while still being a streaky goalscorer, has been playing with a tenacity that produces turnovers -- a tenacity he was missing last year with the Habs -- meaning that even in games where he is not producing points he's having an impact.

Florida Coach Peter DeBoer:
"We were overmatched. We would have needed everything to go right and we didn't get it. They took advantage of our roster and dismantled us fairly easily. We could have been out there for three days and still not scored."

Of Note: The Bruins welcomed back Dennis Wideman last night. Patrice Bergeron drove the net, but unfortunately slid into, and injured, Craig Anderson who had to be replaced by Tomas Vokoun. The Bruins improve to 17-4-4 -- going 16-2-1 over their last 19 games -- good enough for 1st Place in the Eastern Conference.

bruins 4 - panthers 2

Given the amount of attention that will be paid to the Bruins game here tomorrow night (coupled with the retirement of Patrick Roy's 33 at the Bell Centre), it would be pretty easy for the Bruins and Bruins faithful to overlook tonight's match against the Panthers.

But a strong effort from the Bruins managed to secure another home win for the Black, White and Gold.

Marc Savard, David Krejci and Dennis Wideman all left the game for short spells with injuries, but fortunately returned and continued to make their presence felt. Savard had a goal and an assist, while Krejci and Wideman had a goal and assist respectively.

I should mention that while I harbour no ill feelings in particular toward the Panthers, I take great pleasure in watching (former Hab) Richard Zednick lose. I don't really know why...I think it's because of the playoffs in 2001-2002...which had some good moments too.

At any rate, this was a solid, up-tempo game from the B's, and brings them within two points of first in the Eastern Conference with three games in hand.
