<li> Ch-ch-ch-changes. Line juggling gives the Bruins fresh offensive lines. Are you ready for KHorMa or HorMarK? PBS? PeCaLu? CamPaTh? Sunday practice opened with a fun drill. [<a href="http://espn.go.com/blog/boston/bruins/post/_/id/11329/lucic-bumped-as-julien-shuffles-lines ">ESPN</a>]</li>

<li> And here is what the Bruins need going forward, because even with the same players, you can never go back. [<a href="http://thehockeywriters.com/what-the-bruins-need-to-be-successful/">TheHockeyWriters</a>]</li>

<li> Don't Panic. Really, Time will fix what ails the Bruins. And psssst... they're not alone in their struggles. [<a href="http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nhl-puck-daddy/learned-nothing-wrong-boston-bruins-time-won-t-133448716--nhl.html">PuckDaddy</a>]</li>

<li> Alexander Khokhlachev was on the table in a failed deal for Brenden Morrow, and Jarome Iginla has indicated Boston would be an acceptable destination (as would Pittsburgh, Chicago or LA.)

<li> Thanks to the Sabres, the Habs remain but two points ahead in the division, doubtlessly hoping the Leafs soften up the Bruins tonight before Wednesday's match.
