PrintWelp, that atrocity of a football season is over, finally. I've seen enough shirtless Rob Gronkowski photos to last me easily until next August, the Bruins are busy being awesome with children during their time off, and tomorrow we finally get another game. FINALLY. The push for the playoffs is getting interesting, and while tomorrow's opponent might not really be a contender, every two points matters.
Plus, LOL - it's Buffalo. Brace for drama!
After the jump, some adventures to clear your schedule for, some players the Bruins probably won't be acquiring, and hey, Brooks Laich isn't as broken as we thought...
Bruins News:
- The Bruins have a TON of cap space to play with, it seems. But what's better - getting a rental or reserving money to sign some free-agents? [ESPN]
- Zach Hamill on waivers, lol. He'll clear and go to Providence if no one claims him by noon EST today. [Globe]
- Jordan Caron went to the Hair Cuttery! [Patch]
- If you are going on the Chowdah road trip to invade New York, read this fanpost now. [CoC]
- And don't make plans for the last weekend of January 2013...baby All Stars are coming to invade Providence! [Projo]
- David Krejci visited the Riverdale School yesterday to teach about working out. [Bruins]
NHL News:
- Well, not really NHL, but hey who's surprised raise your hands - BU will face BC in the Beanpot final. [Globe]
- The Coyotes beat the Red Wings 3-1 last night. Aaaand the Central Division just got tighter. [Freep]
- Brooks Laich's injury isn't major! And Caps fans everywhere rejoiced. [ESPN]
- Tuomo Ruutu might re-sign in Carolina. Cross him off the list of guys Chiarelli might be acquiring. [News Observer]
- Jarome Iginla thinks the Flames can still make playoffs. [Sun]

You guys got a bum deal. Hate to see the Pats be the butt of off season jokes. Hope you get the better end of it next year.

at the least it should be mandatory that you win before partying with your shirt off
They did it for Savy, they did it for Horton, they did it for each other, they did it for us. I give you the 2011 Stanley Cup Champions....The Boston Bruins!!
My Lions lost to the Saints who are clearly the better team. (This is what happens when you back your team and they lose),
Use cap space for rentals or sign free agents…
I am confused… how are the two even comparable? Rentals, by definition, are expiring contracts and would only affect this season’s cap. Free agents are signed in the offseason and would only effect next season’s cap. How do the two even impact one another?
Our intention isn't to discuss this... it's to see if you can bleed.

Howard Baldwin interview on Hockey Prospectus
http://www.hockeyprospectus.com/article.php?articleid=1245
Long one but worth it. I think he’s off on some of the existing markets, and bashing them probably isn’t the best idea, but I must tip my hat to him on how they are promoting the Whale and hockey in general in the metro Hartford region and the rest of CT, that’s how you build a base that makes a market enticing to the NHL.
In Memoriam: Dan Wheldon 1978-2011
Its a good thing you destroyed the Leafs in the 4 games earlier in this season otherwise it’d be a tighter division lead race.
Being a Leafs fan makes me bipolar.
Meh.
Two games in hand, 3 more ROW and 6 more points. Not too concerned.

You have to check pic of Andy Sutton’s face as well as Dion Phaneuf’s bearhug of Phil Kessel
Just to comment on the Ruutu article
I have heard that JR is really trying to make moves. I have a few connections inside the Hurricanes organIzation. They say that article isnt very true.
