Watch 17 year-old Canadian farm boys in ill-fitting suits sit nervously in the stands at Staples Center waiting for their name to be called and discuss which of these kids the Bruins should be banking the future of the franchise on. The NHL Entry Draft: all the pageantry of the NBA Draft only with worse suits and less players that you've seen play!
Have at it Chowdah Heads!

Thats interesting.
Well, I somehow tend to get along with Yankees fans. They all are obsessed with my website.
But yeah, I actully get along better at PSA than OTM, lol.
So we’ll get along fine.

Its not as much of a cardinal sin, but I’m a Dolphins fan and a Bruins fan. Puck the Fats!

As long as you like the Bruins, who really cares about what other teams you support.
Baseball is a very dull/poor game in my opinion, so some one could like the Japanese League for all I care.
You’re right the bruins are all that matter.

https://twitter.com/Real_ESPNLeBrun……scroll down a bit…..very interesting stuff with Edmonton wanting the 2nd and 1st pick and pushing very very hard for it
Only thing they could offer the Bruins is their first rounder.. for the next like 10 years.

this is pure guessing on my part but im assuming it would start with Hemsky/Cogliano/ or Penner?

An oft-injured overpaid defensemen whose only talent is a wicked slapshot which we already have with Chara… no thanks.

Just discussing how the B’s were shopping him.. I didn’t believe it but apparently there was a report from Joe Haggerty about it
Haggerty is a Bruins ahter I think. Always negitive.

I want Hall too, but, and not to be cruel, but he just looks like a dick. Seguin looks like someone who has his shit together.

im prefacing this by saying im a special ed teacher who works with autism on a daily basis, so im not trying to be a dick, but taylor hall looks like a stereotypical person stricken with autism

Oilers-B's trade thought
Just spitballing here, but if the Oil said “okay, we’ll give you Penner, Whitney and your choice of Eberle, Parvi-Svenson or our 2011 first rounder, and take back Seguin, Ryder and Ference”, doesn’t PC have to give that one some serious thought?
maybe…….if it were that package with Eberle, Penner, Whitney and the first for Seguin, Ryder, Ference maybe i would think about it

From Jimmy Murphy
Dave Pagnotta of 4th Period just told me Bruins had last minute offer for 2nd pick and that’s why Chiarelli took so long.
So do you guys think either fowler or gormley will be around at 32 lol….by the way Fowler look pissed when the NYR picked McIlrath haha

Was at the draft party last night.
Was nice to see the team organize something. Good climate, Probably 700 or so people. But, more than Tequila Rain would have held like in 2007.

It says the pages don’t exist.
But, 98.5 was just talking about a package deal to Philly for Savard AND Thomas.
I can’t see that happening though. Plus they didn’t mention what Philly was proposing to send us in exchange.
yea fluto just posted that Chiarelli and Holmgren were talking on the draft floor for about 10-15 minutes so there could be something brewing
by timmorrison23 on Jun 26, 2010 1:22 PM EDT up reply actions
The Savard deals do baffle me, but the talk of keeping Thomas because “Tuukka may still not be ready,” is being said ad nauseam.
Too much money for a backup, I’m sorry, end of story. But we’ll see.
I agree, as long as you have a quality backup behind Tuukka I would be fine with trading Thomas. As for Savard I do think they will trade him, especially with the way this draft is shaping out with the Bruins taking 3 centers, and the centers they already have in their system.
by timmorrison23 on Jun 26, 2010 1:32 PM EDT up reply actions
so they trade for Horton, who could be 30+ goals with Savard feeding him, and they take away that center.
Haven’t we already said that Horton might not have the best attitude, and now you f*@# him over right when you get him?
yea but they could throw Krejci up with Horton just the same as Savard, look what Krejci did with Satan during his their time together, Krecji and Horton I still think you have a 30+ goal winger
by timmorrison23 on Jun 26, 2010 1:40 PM EDT up reply actions
I could certainly see it if they do deal Savard
