Blurbs

The Bruins have two games until the All-Star break this weekend. Back to back and on the road, Boston faces the Dallas Stars on Tuesday and the Colorado Avalanche on Wednesday. The Bruins were riding a five game winning streak until they hit a speed bump that was the Columbus Blue Jackets. They fell to the Jackets Saturday 3-1 with the only Bruins goal coming from Carl Soderberg.

In other news, Brad Marchand was suspended two games for slew-footing Rangers' Derick Brassard on Thursday night.

I know Marchand is small and he has to get leverage somehow when going into hit guys, but I will not defend him here. I think this was a bit of a dirty play on his part and he should have just hit him without taking his legs out from under him. This is also not the first time he has been caught slew-footing. He was previously suspended in 2011 for slew-footing Matt Niskanen. 

Oh Marshy, what are we going to do with you? #ShortPeopleProblems 

The Bruins decided not to send Pastrnak down to the AHL which means he is with the team for the remainder of the season. Good thing because it seems this kid is the only thing sparking life into the Bruins at the moment. 

The Bruins are rumored to be hosting the Montreal Canadiens in the 2016 Winter Classic at Gillette Stadium. "Familiar foe meet on uncommon ground." 

Buy your tickets now folks, this game is going to be so hyped up the prices will skyrocket.
