First off, let me apologize for the long layoff. I have no excuse. I would like to tell you Bob Goodneow advised me to lock myself out, but I simply can’t. No excuse. I apologize.

This is good news for Bruins fans. Colton Orr is as tough as they come. He’s a "classic" Bruin that would have fit in with the Big Bad Bruins of old. For those of you that haven’t seen him in Providence, this kid will be a fan favorite, and fast. Good to see the organization [...]
