Jeremy Swayman has been AWESOME since the Olympics. Is he a legitimate Vezina candidate?

There’s almost no downside to bringing James Hagens up to finish the season with the Boston Bruins.

Yes, Jayson Tatum (38.8% FG / 29.3% 3PT) has struggled shooting. But you can’t blame the Celtics’ offensive struggles solely on him.

Marco Sturm on having the Rhode Island state champion Blackstone Valley boys hockey team at today’s Bruins practice: “A sad story, but also a wonderful story. … This is what I love about hockey, about hockey teams.” Says the highlight was them asking David Pastrnak about what cars he drives.

Asked Marco Sturm about bringing in young players, like James Hagens, this time of year during a playoff push: “They are college kids. End of the day, they never played against men, so it's always a challenge. But I'm prepared, any of them, or if not. I don't see a problem.”

"He’s always had game... I’m sure they love him here. We loved him in Minnesota, so I can only imagine how it is in Boston.” “He is a good player. We knew that.” Luka Garza's development is no surprise to his former teammates/coaches in Minnesota audacy.com/weei/sports/ce…

The Blackstone Valley boys hockey team, coming off a Rhode Island state title a month after the tragic shooting at one of their games, had some fun in the Bruins locker room today. They later took photos with Bruins players and got autographs.
