Fluto Shinzawa of the Boston Globe is reporting that the Bruins are among six teams that could be heading to Europe to open up the 2010-'11 season. Prague, Stockholm, and Helsinki are among the cities being considered to host the games. According to an unnamed league source, the Bruins would likely be paired with a team from a "non-traditional hockey market"...I guess Prague could soon have more Coyotes fans than Glendale.

if its the same guy who knew the classic was coming then it’s probably written in stone

Flyers on the list too??

I’d assume that’s part of the deal for hosting the Classic.

Bruins v. Phoenix in Europe would be pretty sweet.

Prague would be cool for Krejci and Sobotka.
Helsinki would be good for Rask
and Stockholm might be cool for P.J. Axels…dammit.

Though last year the NHL teams also participated in a tournament with top european teams aside from the NHL v. NHL games. Maybe we could see Frolunda/Bruins. I’d watch that.
