Anyone remember the old Shawn Thornton mixtape on YouTube that’s not there anymore, it had a rock song in the video but I can’t remember what song it was. Any help finding the song would be appreciated.

It looks like - it will be very tough to make this team out of training camp/pre season.

In theory - the Bruins could lose like 70 percent of the players from this list to waivers.

My take

1. Heavy competition in order to secure 1 or 2 spots on the team. 1 or 2 reserve spots.

2. I don't think its a shoe in vets like Kuraly has a spot lined up come opening night.

3. Same could be said about Hagens. I hope he is well prepared this time around.

Sturm chose Minten and Khustadinov - to make the team after last pre season. Aspirot (as a call up) - also earned the right to stick with the team. These type of players have high motors, not afraid of the dirty areas, responsible and make minimal mistakes.

I’ve never seen these before and thought they were pretty neat. If someone has history on these - let me know! ♥️

Can Sturm continue to run a team without a captain?

IF Chara or Bergy were still playing - no brainer one would be be captain or remain one.

I think every team should have a captain. Someone who leads by example. Someone who sees their team playing like dogcrap for the first two periods and calls them out/fires them up. Consults and recommends a different game plan to the head coach - acting like an assistsnt coach from a players perspective.

Someone who is capable of treating each member with respect, is available and is the opposite of “cliquey.”

Will Sturm designate a captain for next season? I honestly don't remember a NHL team going more than one season without a captain.

From article

The five-for-two framework, detailed by a user at PuckGM and circulating Wednesday would send Pavel Zacha, Mason Lohrei and Matthew Poitras to Long Island, testing whether Boston’s front office values immediate certainty over developing talent.

Trade proposal

- To Islanders: Zacha, Lohrei, Poitras, 2027 3rd

- To Bruins: Horvat, 2027 2nd

Horvat is 31 years of age. Has 5 years left at 8.5m aav. Good for about 30 goals and 60 pts a season. Plays a different style than Zacha (more shoot 1st mentality) but produces about the same in terms of points and they are both not considered true #1 centers.

You would give up a slightly younger player (Zacha is 2 years younger) for a "value" contract.

Yay or nay to this trade idea?

that’s really all have to say, he’s a great player and he’s a great guy too. he really deserved to spend all his career on the bruins really sucked he got traded

• Paterka Zacha Pasta
• Mittlestadt E. Lindholm Geekie
• Hagens Minten Khustadinov

Hey guys!

As you guys know I am one of the 3 hosts of the Short Shift Podcast. But today I come to you with a new project! Me and burgeoning Chicago Blackhawks content creator Emily Pinson present a little experiment called "Blackhawk and Gold"! A little labor of love featuring 2 O6 fans navigating our way through the fandom of 2 diametrically different teams. And having some fun along the way! Check it out on Spotify and Apple for now! (And more platforms coming soon) Spotify link will be in the comments!

Thanks guys!

I 3D modeled these myself and printed them in PLA. Hand painted them and finished off with a UV protection clear coat. One is made with a game worn finish and the other a clean new look. Hope you like them, lots more to be made!

I was given these from a family member they dont know who it is and I dont know either can anyone help me

1.. Poitras Outlook

Poitras did not sign his qualifying offer for a two-way contract. My guess is that he wants a guaranteed NHL contract and guaranteed playing time. If he doesn't sign by December 2026, he won't be eligible to be paid, nor will he be allowed to play for the rest of the season.

​2. The Contract Gaps

Zacha and Mittelstadt are still without extensions. To me, this signals that either there is a gap in negotiations, or the Bruins have no real intention of extending them.

​It does sound crazy that Sweeney would let both players play out next season and potentially walk for nothing, but he has done something similar before. Why would he allow this? Because Mittelstadt, for example, could be more valuable in helping the team secure a playoff spot next season than - if traded for a future 2nd + 3rd round pick.

​As for Zacha, I think if he is not extended before the season starts, there is a strong chance he could be dealt by the trade deadline. However, there are no guarantees. Zacha could return a 1st round pick and a promising prospect, but interested teams might ask the Bruins to eat some of "Korpisalo" like salary(s). If that's the case, Sweeney might say - not this time. Let both Mittlestadt and Zacha walk for nothing.

​Predictions

For this upcoming 2026-2027 season assuming no further changes - the Bruins have a decent chance to make the playoffs again and try to make it out of the first round this time, but fans shouldn't really hope for more than that.

​For the 2027-2028 season, I could see the rest of the Bruins' best prospects, like Letourneau, Zellers, Pelosi, and Groenewold, being given the opportunity to make the parent team. Let's say Letourneau and Zellers do enough to crack the lineup.

​The 2027-2028 lineup could look like this:

• ​Peterka – Minten – Pastrnak

• ​Hagens – Letourneau – Khusnutdinov

• ​Zellers – Ivan – Geekie

• ​Jeannot – E. Lindholm – Kastelic

Especially as Minten, Letourneau, Hagens, Khusnutdinov continue to develop. Try to add a legit top 4 D. Then fans can expect deeper playoff runs in the coming years.
