In full off-season mode. Also, holiday weekend, so we're kinda behind on our news reporting. Good thing we're not like real reporters or that'd be super embarrassing. Whew.First off: Bruins were named Team of the Year by SportsBusinessJournal, a publication that 98% of the people reading this probably never has read. According to CSNNE.com: The Sports Team of the Year Award was awarded for excellence and outstanding achievement for the time period from March 1, 2011 through February 29, 2012. Each year the award honors one sports franchise based on an evaluation of “excellence, growth, creativity, innovation, sound planning, implementation and outcomes.” So, in short:  The Boston Bruins also finally shipped up resident sloth and first round bust Zach Hamill for Chris Bourque. In 20 games played for the Bs, Sloth compiled a whopping 0 goals and 4 assists. Can't see why they'd trade him. We won't miss Sloth but we will miss using this photoshop.In return they g...

The Bruins acquired forward Chris Bourque, son of B’s legendary defenseman Ray Bourque, from the Washington Capitals in exchange for Zach Hamill on Saturday. The 26-year old Bourque has spent much of his professional career in the AHL, where he has excelled, but hasn’t proven himself to be a consistent NHL player.

Should The Bruins Trade Tim Thomas?

Via Kukla's Korner  |  May 27, 2012
from Fluto Shinzawa of the Boston Globe, Despite Chiarelli’s end-of-year declaration that he was not inclined to trade Tim Thomas, the goaltending situation remains unclear. If the Bruins deem cap space a priority, they can clear Thomas’s $5 million annual cap hit as of July 1 when his no-movement clause expires. They must also re-sign Tuukka Rask, who will reach restricted status...

The extra time could come in handy though, as the Bruins have plenty of decisions to make this summer. At the top of that list is what they will do with the many pending free agents on their roster.

Bruins trade draft bust Zach Hamill to Capitals

Via CLNS Radio  |  May 27, 2012
When Peter Chiarelli and the Boston Bruins selected center Zach Hamill seventh overall in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft, they expected that he could someday become an impact player behind Marc Savard and David Krejci but that never came to happen.

Ty Anderson: Could B's lose highly touted prospect to KHL?

Via HockeyBuzz  |  May 27, 2012
Whether they want to come out and say it or not, there's obviously been a bit of hesitancy on the part of the Boston Bruins when it comes to drafting Russians. Yury Alexandrov, taken by the B's with the 37th overall pick back in 2006, was a complete and total bust in one North American season before returning back to Russia. And given the way he's made strides in the...
