Scouting Report
B's Get Another Shot at Sabres
"We had some luck in the first four games and we've played well in the last four," Briere said. "And we've beat some good teams. We played Carolina twice, we played Detroit. I think Boston is the only team we played that's not going to make the playoffs." - Sabres Daniel Briere, Oct. 23rd, 2006

Boston Bruins' captain Zdeno Chara has donated Z's Zone to the Mikes Wish Foundation.
Up for auction is the opportunity for you and seven guests to join Mike & his family in Zdeno Chara’s private luxury box at an upcoming Bruins game.
And that's not all! After the game, everyone will be invited to the Bruins locker room to meet Zdeno.
Great thanks goes out to the new B's captain for his generosity and support of this terrific cause.

Something Shakin' on Shakedown Street
Mick Colageo reports on the numerous trade rumours swirling about the Boston Bruins. He writes GM Peter Chiarelli may be willing to part with goaltender Hannu Toivonen since acquiring highly-touted prospect Tuukka Rask from the Toronto Maple Leafs last summer. He also cites the UFA status of the "San Jose guys" (Brad Stuart, Marco Sturm and Wayne Primeau) acquired in last year's Thornton trade, noting Stuart's wife is from California and Sturm has said he intends to test the market. Colageo dismissed the rumour of PJ Axelsson being shipped to Ottawa but suggests Chiarelli's connection with his former club could result in another Senator coming to Boston. He suggests Anaheim and San Jose could be potential trade partners for a goaltending upgrade for the B's, and closes by suggesting that unless " there's something else under the radar screen, the Bruins could be on the verge of a multi-player, multi-team trade that could involve some other names fans don't want to hear, like Brad Boyes and Milan Jurcina."
SI Rumors
New Flyers GM Paul Holmgren is said to be looking to make a blockbuster trade to shake things up, with winger Simon Gagne's name being floated as possible bait. It's believed the Blackhawks have offered the Flyers defenseman Jassen Cullimore, who according to a report in the Ottawa Sun also has been shopped to the Bruins.
Also...
The Bruins aren't happy with their goaltending. You can bet they're looking at Vesa Toskala in San Jose, but there's no way the Sharks would want Glen Murray when they've got Jonathan Cheechoo as Joe Thornton's triggerman.

(Bruins May Move Kessel Back to Pivot)
"Whether or not we're playing him at the right spot at wing, I still don't know that because I really haven't given him an opportunity at center," said Dave Lewis. "So maybe he could get to center and we could do something else to exploit his game even more."

``You have to stop the bleeding," Lewis said. ``We didn't stop the bleeding fast enough. You have to have a belief that you can come from behind. We haven't established that, either. Anything can happen, especially halfway through the second period. I don't know that there were 30 minutes left to play, but there were at least 26 to go. You can generate some opportunities for yourself if you do the right thing."
