Dee Karl: Blasts from the Past & Angry (talented) Fans
Blasts from the past Dept:
Lost in the shuffle of the NHL cancelling the remaining schedule for 2012 was a Tweet from Art Staple which was a RT of a Dan Weiss Tweet announcing:
Rampage announce they've signed former NHL veterans Jon Sim and Mike Mottau to professional try-out agreements
The San Antonio Rampage, the AHL affiliate of the Florida Panthers are taking a chance...
UFAs In A Holding Pattern
from Joe Haggerty of CSNNE, Mike Mottau hasn’t given up hope that he’ll be back with the hometown Boston Bruins next season, but he’s one of many free agents waiting in limbo while a CBA is worked out between the NHL and the NHLPA.
Mottau was with Bruins teammates Shawn Thornton, Tuukka Rask and Daniel Paille taking batting practice at Fenway Park on Tuesday afternoon, and...
Shawn Thornton, Bruins Take Batting Practice at Fenway Park (Video)
Four members of the Boston Bruins -- Shawn Thornton, Tuukka Rask, Mike Mottau and Daniel Paille -- were welcomed by another major Boston sports franchise to their home venue on Tuesday afternoon. The foursome joined members of the Boston Red Sox for their pregame routine and took batting practice for about 20 minutes and shagged some fly balls in the outfield -- don't worry,...
Mike Mottau Enjoyed Return to Hometown, Could Be Valuable Veteran Insurance If Re-Signed by Bruins
Editor's Note: The Bruins are facing a longer offseason than they had hoped after their title defense was ended early with a first-round loss to Washington. 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. Each day over the next...

Peter Chiarelli Expects Brian Rolston to Fill Void Left by Nathan Horton in Playoffs (Video)
The Boston Bruins made a number of additions to the roster at the trade deadline this season. The acquisitions included guys like Greg Zanon, Mike Mottau and former-Bruin Brian Rolston, and each will play a role in Boston's chase for another Stanley Cup title. Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli was pleased with the B's additions at the deadline and feels that the team has plenty of...
Mike Mottau Maintaining His Allegiance to Boston College, Readies Trash Talk for Former Roommate Chris Kunitz
BOSTON -- Mike Mottau is loving life in a black and gold world these days since the Avon, Mass. native came back home to the Bruins in a deal at the NHL trade deadline. But there's still plenty of maroon and a slightly different hue of gold that runs through Mottau's veins, as the former Boston College star will always remain an Eagle at heart. Mottau, who won the Hobey Baker...
Joe Corvo Returns to Bruins Lineup, But Shoring Up Blueliner's Game Still a Work in Progress
BOSTON – For the first 70 games of the season, Joe Corvo was a fixture on the Bruins defense. He was one of just a handful of players to dress for every game to that point, but had struggled for much of the season. With the depth added at the deadline with the acquisition of veteran blueliners Greg Zanon and Mike Mottau, Corvo found himself suddenly out of the mix, a healthy scratch...
Mike Mottau Enjoying Return Home to Boston, Especially Since Bruins Blueliner Is Confident His Boston College Eagles Can Make Run at Another NCAA Title
Mike Mottau will freely admit he is hardly an unbiased observer, but the Bruins defenseman does believe that the top-seeded Boston College hockey squad has a very good chance of adding to the town's impressive collection of championships in the upcoming NCAA tournament. The Eagles have won 15 straight games, including a 4-1 victory over Maine Saturday night in the Hockey East...
Bruins Recall Max Sauve on Emergency Basis, Forward Will Join B's for Game in Pittsburgh
Benoit Pouliot was a surprising scratch just prior to Saturday's game against the Capitals, forcing defenseman Mike Mottau to jump up to forward -- a role the veteran blue liner hasn't seen much of in the past. Perhaps trying to avoid a repeat on Sunday, when the Bruins travel to Pittsburgh to take on the Penguins, the team has recalled forward Max Sauve from Providence on...
Benoit Pouliot a Surprising Scratch With Lower-Body Injury, But Mike Mottau Manages to Fill Void Up Front
BOSTON – The Bruins have been hard hit by injuries of late, particularly up front. But it wasn't until after warm-ups just before Saturday's matinee clash with the Capitals that Boston coach Claude Julien learned that he wouldn't even have a full complement of 12 forwards available for the contest. Benoit Pouliot skated his regular turn on the third line in the line...
Marty Turco Becomes Latest Bruins Addition, Joins Deadline Acquisitions for Stretch Run
The Bruins roster looks considerably different right now than it did just a couple of weeks ago. Injuries led the Bruins to bolster their depth at practically every position, as they added some help on the blue line in Greg Zanon and Mike Mottau as well as up front by bringing back Brian Rolston. Now, in the wake of Tuukka Rask's injury the B's turn to veteran netminder Marty...
Julien unfazed by logjam on defense
WILMINGTON - The battles continue tonight.
The most obvious and important fight concerns the standings, where the Bruins' lead over second-place Ottawa has been sliced to a single point in the Northeast Division. The B's will still be there after tonight (the Senators are off), and will still be No. 2 in the Eastern Conference, but if they don't get any points out of...
Jack Edwards Mailbag: Bruins Must 'Go Play in Traffic' in Order to Jump-Start Slumping Offense
The Bruins finally returned home on Tuesday night, and waiting for the was a hungry Ottawa Senators team. The Sens took a much needed win away from TD Garden on the same night that a pair of new Bruins made their debuts. The league is a week or two from really hitting the stretch run, which gives the B's and their new additions -- Brian Rolston, Mike Mottau and Greg Zanon --...

Claude Julien Pleased with Depth Added to Roster, Says 'Everyone's Been Put On Notice' There Will Be Competition for Lineup Spots
WILMINGTON, Mass. – The Bruins added depth at the trade deadline, but the additions of Greg Zanon, Mike Mottau and Brian Rolston might bring something even more important to the club. The addition of three veteran players creates a competition for playing time that was sorely lacking after injuries left the club shorthanded in recent weeks. The Bruins now have seven NHL-caliber...
Johnny Boychuk Progressing in Recovery, Skates on His Own Before Bruins Practice
WILMINGTON, Mass. -– The Bruins returned to practice Wednesday at Ristuccia Arena bolstered with reinforcements from the trade deadline with newcomers Brian Rolston, Mike Mottau and Greg Zanon all taking part. Zanan's first day in a Bruins sweater even gave the Bruins an extra defenseman for the workout. They hope to have two extra defensemen soon, but Johnny Boychuk remains...
Bruins Mailbag: B's Still Have Potential for Deep Playoff Run, But Rangers Will Present Sizable Challenge
The trade deadline has come and gone, and perhaps to the chagrin of the many readers who have spent the last few weeks proposing all sorts of bold moves to acquire virtually every star player imaginable, Peter Chiarelli took a more conservative and prudent approach. He didn't overreact to the club's recent struggles and break up a Stanley Cup-winning roster. Instead he augmented...
Corvo aware of crowded blue line
The fact that the Bruins acquired two defensemen in Greg Zanon and Mike Mottau Monday was not lost on Joe Corvo.
Bruins Have Second Best Odds to Win NHL Eastern Conference, Rangers Favorites to Win Stanley Cup
It was a quiet NHL trade deadline but the Boston Bruins were one of the more active teams. They acquired three veterans to boost their current roster in Brian Rolston, Mike Mottau and Greg Zanon. Overall, the Bruins appear to be playing better these days with a 2-0-1 stretch. They return home on Tuesday to face the Ottawa Senators, a team they have now defeated eight straight times...
Trades, Trades, Trades
With the trade deadline closed, the Boston faithful may be feeling a sense of disappointment as theytake a look at the Bruin’s last second pick-ups. After all, there has been plentyof talk about acquiring players such as Rick Nash, Tuomo Ruutu and TeemuSelanne in the past few weeks, but none of these names found their way onto Boston’sroster by deadlines end. In fact, theNHL...
Mike Mottau Thrilled to Play in Hometown, Brian Rolston Says Bruins 'Completely Different Animal' Since Winning Cup
BOSTON –- You can take the player out of Boston, but you can't take the love for Boston out of a player once he's experienced the city. At least that's how it is for the two newest faces in the Bruins locker room, who are anything but new to Boston. Brian Rolston and Mike Mottau came to Boston together in a deal with the Islanders on Monday. They joined the team for...
Brian Rolston, Mike Mottau in Bruins Lineup, Greg Zanon Not Expected to Make Debut Against Senators
BOSTON -- The Bruins will have two of their new additions in the lineup Tuesday when they open a three-game homestand against Ottawa. Forward Brian Rolston and defenseman Mike Mottau, acquired Monday from the Islanders in one of Boston's two deals at the trade deadline, participated in Tuesday's morning skate and will play against the Senators.
