Today is the midpoint of the Bruins' offseason! HOORAY! Now instead of counting up, we can begin the countdown. 84 days to go until opening night. We can do this. Power through.

No update as of yet on P.J. Axelsson's status or which NHL teams have shown an interest. If one of them isn't the Bruins, I suggest some sort of rally outside the Garden. It would probably look something like the photo Corny used in his Morning Skate today. Also, I have no idea who suggested he hold a boombox outside of Pebben's agent's office, it certainly wasn't me.

After the jump, a Goon movie review, thoughts on Tuukka as starting goaltender, a look around the Northeast, and more...
