<p><b> The Boston Bruins meet the Carolina Hurricanes this evening at  7pm, </b></p>

<li> Dr. Khu (Anton Khudobin) may be waving from the press box, but we'll see wee Nathan Gerbe, a pair of Staals, and Mike Komisarek.  [<a href="http://www.canescountry.com/2013/11/18/5114556/carolina-hurricanes-vs-boston-bruins-game-preview-11-18-13">CanesCountry</a>]</li>

<li> Here's Corey Perry 's strategy to hamper the Hurricanes, maybe they'd fall for it twice? [<a href="http://www.cbssports.com/nhl/eye-on-hockey/24245487/video-alexander-semin-has-stick-stolen-by-corey-perry-on-bench">CBSSports</a>]</li>

<li> Zdeno Chara, Patrice Bergeron, and the Bruins are looking to move on from the loss in Ottawa. (Video, 0:55) [<a href="http://nesn.com/2013/11/bruins-not-dwelling-on-loss-to-ottawa-zdeno-chara-says-team-focused-on-staying-sharp-mentally-video/">NESN</a>]<M/li>

<li> Peter Chiarelli cited fatigue in the Bruins' ugly loss to the Senators, and believes the team will be motivated against the Hurricanes tonight. [<a href="http://bostonherald.com/sports/bruins_nhl/boston_bruins/2013/11/bruins_seeking_rebound_in_raleigh">BostonHerald</a>]</li>

<li> Chiarelli went on to praise Loui Eriksson as "...probably our best player in Ottawa." The Bruins' penalty kill has returned to its glory, thanks to familiar pairings. Jordan Caron is likely the odd man out tonight.  [<a href="http://www.bostonglobe.com/sports/2013/11/18/bruins-loui-eriksson-adjusting-his-game/ZwdP8s1xDtafd9g78Y050M/story.html">TheBostonGlobe</a>]</li>

<li> So far in the East, the Bruins have been good enough, which seems to be about par for any team in the conference. [<a href="http://www.weei.com/sports/boston/hockey/bruins/scott-mclaughlin/2013/11/17/average-east-bruins-havent-been-great-neithe">WEEI</a>]</li>

<li> As part of his NHLPA orientation, Dougie Hamilton heard a sobering tale of embezzlement suffered by his childhood hero Bryan Berard. Point taken. [<A href="http://espn.go.com/boston/nhl/story/_/id/9993283/boston-bruins-dougie-hamilton-learns-lesson-responsibility">ESPN</a>]</li>
