All Andrew Ference

from David Amber at ESPN,

When he’s not busy moving hulking forwards from in front of the net, Andrew Ference is busy trying to change the world. The Bruins defenseman wears a helmet on the ice and many hats off it: political activist, environmental crusader and possibly future NHL commissioner.

In this edition of Facing Off, Ference tells us what it’s like to drop the gloves with Sid the Kid, how the Bruins can win back Beantown and how 10 days in Africa changed his life forever.

Slow Process For Bergeron

from Pierre LeBrun of the CP via Yahoo,

It’s slow going to be sure. He got a small headache at the end of his bike session last week and was told to rest for a few days.

“Every week I’m getting better but obviously it’s not where I’d like to be. I’d like to be on the ice right now,” said Bergeron. “And I’m not close to going back on the ice. But at least we’ve started to work out. I’ve been on the bike three times so far. I felt OK. The last time I had small little headaches, so we decided to take more time off and see what happens after that.

“I’m feeling good, I feel a lot better, but not exactly where I want to be.”

Who Could The Bruins Trade

from the Worcester Telegram & Gazette,

Phil Kessel’s stock recently has plummeted in Boston, so maybe he’s a candidate, but that might be a move the Bruins would regret someday. Sturm, Savard, Murray and Zdeno Chara reportedly have clauses in their contracts that either bar trades or restrict them only to certain teams.

And if you deal Savard or Sturm, where does that leave your already-lame offense? Murray’s trade value, frankly, is limited by his age, salary ($4.15 million), and recent spotty production. Kessel, though the limitations in his game have become glaring recently, still could develop into a superstar in this league, and there are enough ex-Bruins already flirting with the NHL All-Star team right now, thank you.

That brings us back to Axelsson, whose name pops up as trade bait whenever the Bruins have a need.

Bruins Lacking Scoring Lately

Comments (0)

from Kevin Paul Dupont of the Boston Globe,

We would change the names to protect the innocent, but when it comes to scoring this season, especially the past two weeks, the Bruins’ roster has guilt written all over it.

Marc Savard - No goals, and only two assists, in the last five games.

Phil Kessel - Nothing but zeroes for the last six games, and a meager 3-6 -9 in his last 25.

Peter Schaefer - Only two assists in the last six games.

Marco Sturm - Two goals, and only 9 points, over the last 17 games.

Chuck Kobasew - One goal, two assists, in the last eight games.

Injuries Hit Bruins

via Bruins Blog,

Glen Murray will most likely miss the next two games because of an injured hip flexor.

Murray didn’t practice today and Claude Julien said he will be re-evaluated after Christmas, making him unavailable tomorrow and Sunday against Pittsburgh. Murray left in the second period of last night’s game and didn’t return.

Peter Schaefer (bruised left foot) and Andrew Alberts (post-concussion syndrome symptoms) also didn’t practice and are questionable for tomorrow’s matinee against St. Louis.

Positive Sign For Bergeron

from the Boston Globe,

As Patrice Bergeron the NHL player, who often took 20-minute postgame conditioning rides on a stationary bike, yesterday’s five-minute ride at Ristuccia Arena was a workout hardly worth mentioning.

But as Patrice Bergeron the patient, who’s been limited to short walks for exercise since sustaining a Grade 3 concussion, the morning workout was a momentous occasion that was nearly two months in the making.

Schaefer Knew He Was On His Way Out In Ottawa

from the Ottawa Sun,

“I had little conflicts with Bryan Murray all last year,” Schaefer said before last night’s game against his former team. “Once John got fired and (Murray) became the GM, I pretty much knew I was going to be moved.

“At the end of year meeting, (Murray) told me he expected me to come back (this season) and have a good year. Two days later, he called me in Vancouver and told me I had been traded to Boston. I just chuckled and said thanks.

“I think it’s a business and any time you tell someone one thing and something better comes along, you do it. There’s no hard feelings against (Murray).

“At the same time, I’m probably not going to go and bake cupcakes with him at Christmas, either.”

Senators Must Deal With Chara

from the Ottawa Sun,

Now that he gets to a podium every day, Paddock takes any and all opportunities to sing the Big Zee’s praises. And yesterday, with his team about to fly off to face Chara and the rejuvenated Bruins, a chance to belt out a new chorus presented itself.

Paddock pointed out the B’s had “no defensive structure” last season, Chara’s first in Beantown since losing to Redden in the Which One Do We Keep sweepstakes the John Muckler regime held in Ottawa.

“As wonderful a defensive player as he is, Zee couldn’t do it by himself,” Paddock said, adding that under Claude Julien’s coaching, Chara is “back to being the type of player he was with us.”
