Fantasy Season in Review: Boston Bruins
Offensive Corps: Young centers David Krejci and Patrice Bergeron led the team in scoring with 52 points each. That sentence alone scared fantasy general managers into rostering almost no Bruins forwards once it became apparent that the team had a problem scoring. Unlike the year before where the team held three successful scoring lines, injuries [...]

Marc Savard recently waived his no-trade clause in order for the Boston Bruins to move him to another team.

To call last week a wacky and weird one would be an understatement. From fluke injuries, swinging sticks and a set of mega contracts, to the return of a sleeping giant, the week that was had a little bit of everything going on.
