:wink: Theory came out today that Neely wanted them gone years ago. Wanted them gone but they won the Cup. Got a pass the next year. Was ready to let them go against the Leafs but a miracle saved them. This year he finally got his wish. It's Neely's ass now. Charlie Jacobs looked confused at the pre...

Florida is a sales embarrassment. It's a gate driven league and they have no gate and look at how gate revenue increased with the Thrashers move to Winnipeg even though it's a small arena comparatively. It is what it is. Carolina might be better off in Hartford at this point. The youth movement in C...

Vegas seems to be a done deal for 2016 with 11K in season ticket deposits. Washington and Chicago in the finals. Vegas has a good change to be a profitable team for an owner/group, I was hoping for a Seattle or North Western team but Vegas will be interesting. I heard it once said they'd never atta...

Washington and Chicago in the finals.

Pastrnak matches Seguin and Kessel's rookie numbers at the same age in half the amount of games. Will Julien and Chiarelli be around to enjoy him next year? Tune in on next week's edition of: As The Spoked B Turns Seriously though,is getting to the playoffs enough, or do the Bruins need to win a ro...

Pastrnak matches Seguin and Kessel's rookie numbers at the same age in half the amount of games.

Yeah and a first round matchup against the Habs. I "believe" they'll get their asses handed to them. They're going to be dangerous. Rask is sharp, Seidenberg is back to full strength and Pastrnak and Spooner unleashed with some much needed speed and skill. Screw defense. Krecji will be ba...

The Cup is ours.

I retract this statement as it looks like he broke a finger in practice and will be out 6 weeks.

9-5-3 for the playoffs! Believe.

Why the hell are the B's carrying three goalies? Neely needs to step in and make a move. This season is the comedy event of the year. Get Paille and Campbell off the ice for Koko and Spooner/Griffith. At least there's some upside. I still don't know what Cunningham does. Bring up Trotman. Hamilton l...

No shit. Was hoping to see a Subban on Subban match but oh well. Last years playoffs seemed like the Bruins were built to beat everyone but the C's and the C's were built to beat the B's and not much else. This year the C's got better and the B's stayed stagnant or declined. A playoff meeting doesn...

Pastrnak saves lives. This kid is a 100 pointer. My god.

Charlie Jacobs is named CEO as of yesterday and is ready to start cleaning house including Chia and Julien if things aren't turned around by STH renewals in a couple of weeks. http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-lTzWJd1uRn4/Uhllc8cdOgI/AAAAAAAAIk0/-QVcuBqVgcA/s400/277e0-vince-mcmahon-walk.gif Bob McKenzie say...

How about Rask for Hall straight up? Jordan Eberle, Taylor Hall, Antoine Vermette, Keith Yandle, Chris Stewart and Oshie deals have all been inquired about by Chia. Vermette seems to be the closest to happening or was the rumor around the WJC. Maybe a package deal with Yandle. Hamilton is supposedly...

Rask/Lucic for Hall/1st pick? If Edmonton can come up with the space for Rask. Hall/Krecji/Pastrnak would be the 1st of the future. That would give the Bruins two first round picks and two second rounders in a deep draft and 7 million in cap space on top of the 7 or so million that will be opening ...

Sad to see Boychuk go but cap hell is a bitch. They were cap compliant with a quick shuffle from Providence while they waited for Savard's money in the morning. They could have extended Boychuk and extended Hamilton, Soderberg, Krug and Smith. There will be around $18 million to work with next year...

Bruins sign Krug and Smith to 1yr/1.4mil deals. You guys over the cap? I know Philly, Chicago, Boston and Tampa are close to if not over. Not with Savard's $4 million coming off the books. I still expect a bottom d man to be gone by the start of the season. Chiarelli has handled this bind perfectly...

Bruins extend Krejci 6yrs/43.5mil. Like Subban, overpayment, but teams need to do these things before their players hit the open market. So what's up next for the B's? They trading Boychuk? Kelly? Soderburg? They need to get Krug and Smith signed and are already over the cap. They will get some rel...

They can't do any worse than Florida or Arizona. New rumor from Sports Business News (?) says Vegas, Seattle, Quebec City and a second team in the Toronto area for expansion by 2017 with $1.4 billion in total fees. As long as it is expansion and not relocation then I'm ok. Although I think 4 teams ...

Expansion team to Vegas is a done deal according to this article: http://www.theprovince.com/sports/Gallagher+Bettman+changed+tune+expansion/10150984/story.html?__federated=1 Jerry Bruckheimer will probably be the owner. I'll get flak (from pieceofme) for saying this, but somehow, some way, this is...

Jerry Bruckheimer will probably be the owner.

Jarome who? Lucic/Krecji/Pastrnak. Time to oder the shirt.

Sharks/Kings to play outdoors as part of the Stadium Series. The game will take place in the Niners' new stadium. Part of me would have liked to see this take place at the Giants' home digs, but it might be best that it's outside of the city of San Francisco and more accessible to people who live i...

Subban is a star player and game changer. 30pts in 43 playoff games. I figured $8 million or so, but nothing shocking about the deal with his age. His overall game is still improving as well. Screw Phaneuf.

Bartkowski signs for 1yr/1.25m. I'll be surprised if he's on the roster at camp. That money is more than likely going towards Krug/Smith along with Savard's space. Should be enough to get them both in bridge deals in the $2.5 range. David Pastrnak fever grips New England. Even the front office and ...
