As you guys have probably noticed, I don't usually wander away from anything off topic. It's pretty much always relevant to our beloved B's when it comes to my material. So heres what I'm not going to do.... 1) I'm not going to insult your intelligence and tell you for the 9,738th time that Marian Hossa i Sun, 29 Jun 2008 05:27:16 -0400Canadiens Thrashers Sabres Sharks Penguins Bruins http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=15868 As Bruins fans anxiously await July 1 (a day during which the entire Marian Hossa sweepstakes will likely play itself out), they will be pleased to know that the club will retain the services of blossoming defensive stalwart Mark Stuart for the next two seasons. Peter Chiarelli and company impress yet again, signing Stuart to a 2yr deal worth $1.3mil per season. Stuart, the former Colorado Col Tue, 24 Jun 2008 20:59:17 -0400Blues Canadiens Bruins http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=15796 CHIARELLI AND COMPANY GO WITH CENTER AT #16 WELL WELL WELL, the first round is over for the Bruins, for now. Although after talk about Defense, defense, and more defense I feel kind of ripped off and hope its not. Add to that the fact that PC has been preaching that the team is looking for players who fit the Bruins mold, I'm incredibly puzzled.

I just wanted to apologize to everyone frothing at the mouth for the second installment of my draft blog. I've already been accused by my beloved friend pengal for falsely advertising the ETA of this blog to be 9:00pm. So I offer this as a cop out....I was implying 9:00PM Hawaii-Aleutian Standard Time (HST). Sorry, I like to pretend like I live in Honolulu sometimes (Hawaii = 6 hours behind E Thu, 19 Jun 2008 01:36:07 -0400Bruins http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=15712 After a two week hiatus I've decided to return to the blogging universe. Things have been awfully quiet in the hub of hockey. Prior to reports of the Blake Wheeler signing, Peter Chiarelli and company had given us nothing to chew on in recent weeks. I've never been one to post just for the sake of posting. Nor have I ever been a fan of stepping on other bloggers' toes and discussing topics that ar Tue, 17 Jun 2008 00:15:29 -0400blue jackets bruins http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=15557 I've never written a knee-jerk reaction blog but here goes.... GAME 5: PENS STAY ALIVE Is it just me or did Hal Gill play the game of his life? After Sergei Gonchar went down, I don't think Hal Gill left the ice. He was a beast, a defensive stalwart. I can't wait to see the box score. The former Bruin and Maple Leaf defenseman must've played at least 20 minutes in overtime alone.

A young man destined for greatness Fri, 30 May 2008 01:01:36 -0400Blues Bruins http://www.hockeybuzz.com/blog.php?post_id=15419 In light of the prompt resignings of RFAs Chuck Kobasew and Aaron Ward, I decided to take a page out of Gerz' (Gerry Bourdeau, my fellow B's blogger) book. Gerry recently posted humorous blogs about his fantasy life as Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli. Chiarelli has been doing business with such swift efficiency, making economically sound decisions with both the present and the future in mind.

While every team needs its superstars and their often times bloated contracts, they also need their Chuck Kobasews.

The B's all star netminder suffered an apparent knee injury during the second period of the United States' third and final preliminary game against rival Canada. He is expected to be reevaluated today. It's truly a downer for Thomas, given his ultra Fri, 09 May 2008 03:20:41 -0400Red Wings Stars Bruins Panthers
