One of the prevailing storylines each time the Bruins face the Maple Leafs is the infamous trade that sent Phil Kessel to Toronto in exchange for the draft picks that became Tyler Seguin and Dougie Hamilton. But where does this deal rank among the great trades in Bruins history?
Johnny Bucyk, Cam Neely and Phil Esposito all came to Boston via trade, and now all three have their numbers hanging from the rafters at the Garden.
NESN’s Jack Edwards joined NESN Daily to give his take on the team’s rich history of transactions after the Bruins’ 1-0 victory over the Leafs on Saturday. How does the Kessel trade stack up? Check out the video above to find out.

This fight left Shawn Thornton with a concussion
Shawn Thornton is out for awhile with a concussion. It was shocking given the state of hockey, where concussions are recorded in the injury report as the mysterious “upper body injury”. Is it a bum shoulder or perhaps a hurt psyche? The fans will never know, only that it is in the upper half of the human body. Shawn Thornton is...

This shortened season has already provided us with a multitude of fights from the Bruins — almost double the amount of fights they had last year — but the question remains if this is a trend that will remain consistent or if the altercations will decrease.
It is hard to say if the spike in clashes is due to extra energy the guys have from the lockout or if it is a result of teams...

It wasn’t always pretty on Saturday night, but a win’s a win for the Bruins.
Tuukka Rask earned his first shutout of the year, and the B’s ran their winning streak to seven games against the Leafs. Chris Bourque scored the lone goal of the game, and the Bruins bounced back in a big way after enduring one of their worst defensive efforts in quite some time their last game.

Claude Julien was extremely critical of his club following Thursday night’s game, and why wouldn’t he be? The Bruins embarrassed themselves with an uncharacteristically “brain-dead” defensive performance that left them with their first regulation loss of the season.
Julien sent that message through the media, and he obviously sent it loud and clear inside his team’s dressing...

Thursday night's game between the Bruins and the Sabres may not have gone how most people predicted. This includes not only the score of the highly offensive game, but the bad blood between these two teams as well. The result of the game was a 7-4 win for Buffalo, and an angry and offended Brad Marchand.
But Marchand wasn't angry with a Buffalo player, but rather the man...

Toronto was able to remain within one goal thanks mostly to...

A puck was shot towards the bench area and Toronto Maple Leafs forward Phil Kessel had a priceless reaction. I can’t blame him for flinching, it was just the way he went about it that makes this absolutely hysterical. It was like he was completely shocked that he didn’t get hit and wasn’t ready to let his guard down.[The Score]

Any time the Bruins travel to Toronto, Peter Chiarelli must have a tiny smirk on his face.
In September of 2009 Chiarelli, sent forward Phil Kessel (and his six million dollar contract) to the Leafs for their first-round picks in 2010 and 2011, with a second-round pick tossed in for good measure.
The next year, Boston drafted former Plymouth Whalers forward Tyler Seguin with the...
