In Bruins news:

  • It is all over but the decision. Jimmy Vesey is a Harvard grad, he’ll figure it all out. The Boston Globe Just to play devil’s advocate, the Boston factor may not work well for Vesey, as local boys have had mixed success with the Bruins recently. Hockeybuzz Coach Ted Donato weighs in on Vesey, and on what it was like to have played before his own hometown crowd. Maple Leafs Hot Stove We’ll likely know today. @KLuedeke29 On the lighter side... @JeffIsrael25 Ultimately, Vesey’s Harvard background will lead him by his upturned nose to select a team based only on a "snobs vs. slobs" competition. Or you can substitute "Maple Leafs vs. Bruins" if you prefer. NO, REALLY! Lighthouse Hockey
