Training camp is still a month away but Boston Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy already admitted that it’s no guarantee the Terriers connection of Matt Grzelcyk and Charlie McAvoy remain the Bruins’ top pairing this coming season. “Did not work out as well as we would have liked. It was a lot of demands on Grizz,” Cassidy said of the former Boston University defensemen pairing together as they did for the Terriers during the 2015-16 season. That’s why the Boston Bruins bench boss would like to see what the 6- foot-4, 220-pound Forbort could do to help his top defenseman and handle the elevated physical rigors that playing on a top pairing in the NHL brings. No one is questioning that the 5-foot-9, 175-pound Grzelcyk has the skills to play the left side with McAvoy on the right of the top pairing, but his skills may free up more down the lineup. “Forbort is a bigger, different type of defender than Gryzz,” Cassidy pointed out last week. “So we want to see how that would look with Charlie. Whether we do that every night remains to be seen. That’s a big ask. We know Grizz can slot in there at times. I think you’ll see some toggling.” Forbort was part of a spree of signings that Boston Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney made on the opening day of NHL Free Agency. Sweeney also signed forwards Erik Haula, Nick Foligno and Tomas Nosek, as well as goalie Linus Ullmnark. The 29-year-old rearguard, who was drafted 15th overall by the Los Angeles Kings at the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, was signed to a three-year, $9 million contract on July 28. “Derek was a player we identified through our own scouting staff and analytics staff that would come in and complement our group,” Sweeney said after the free agency frenzy. “He’s played extended minutes, he’s healthier. He had a rebound year [in Winnipeg] from not being healthy the previous season and went in and played a much-elevated role. “[He’s a] primary penalty killer, which is also important. Lauzy [Jeremy Lauzon] and Kevan [Miller] picked up a lot of those details, and Derek was excited in thinking about playing with a couple different partners we have in Charlie [McAvoy] and Brandon [Carlo] from penalty killing to elevated minutes in a shutdown role. We’re going to need him to do that.” Forbort spent the 2021 NHL season with the Winnipeg Jets on a one- year contract that carried a $1 million cap hit. The new Boston Bruins rearguard had two goals and ten assists in 56 games. Forbort averaged 20:45 TOI per game, had 115 blocked shots and 80 hits. As Shinzawa pointed out, he also averaged 2:43 TOI on the penalty kill. He could definitely fulfill what team President Cam Neely and GM Don Sweeney were looking for after watching their depleted and small blue line get manhandled by the Islanders in the second round of the 2021 Stanley Cup Playoffs. The expectation, for now, is that if Forbort slots in next to McAvoy, then Grzelcyk will drop down to the third pairing left slot alongside Connor Clifton, while Mike Reilly would play next to Brandon Carlo on the second pairing. For a second straight season, the Boston Bruins blue line appears to be a work in progress. Boston Hockey NowLOADED: 08.09.2021 1219197 Colorado Avalanche Sunday Notes: Graves says MacKinnon stuff exaggerated, Virtanen denies allegations as agent blasts media Published 16 hours ago on August 8, 2021 By Adrian Dater Ryan Graves Good Sunday to all. Hope your lungs are OK, with all this smoke around. Denver had the worst air quality in the world yesterday, according to some story I read yesterday. Lovely. On to some hockey links, including an interview Ryan Graves gave the other day, where he talked some about Nathan MacKinnon and that Zadorov thing. Bonus Voucher! Graves went on John Scott’s podcast, and was asked about those comments Nikita Zadorov made about Nathan MacKinnon. You know, the “chickpea pasta” stuff, etc. Graves essentially said a lot of it was exaggerated, though he also said MacKinnon “totally changed the culture” of the team (YouTube) Vancouver Hockey Now: Jake Virtanen is under investigation for sexual assault from an incident four years ago. The court ordered information sealed, but it has leaked to the press. Police have not charged Virtanen with a crime. His agent blasted the process and media leaks, too.

  • Turnbull Hockey Pool For
    Turnbull Hockey Pool for Each year, Turnbull students participate in several fundraising initiatives, which we promote as a way to develop a sense of community, leadership and social responsibility within the students. Last year's grade 7 and 8 students put forth a great deal of effort campaigning friends and family members to join Turnbull's annual NHL hockey pool, raising a total of $1750 for a charity of their choice (the United Way). This year's group has decided to run the hockey pool for the benefit of Help Lesotho, an international development organization working in the AIDS-ravaged country of Lesotho in southern Africa. From www.helplesotho.org "Help Lesotho’s programs foster hope and motivation in those who are most in need: orphans, vulnerable children, at-risk youth and grandmothers. Our work targets root causes and community priorities, including literacy, youth leadership training, school twinning, child sponsorship and gender programming. Help Lesotho is an effective, sustainable organization that is working at the grass-roots level to support the next generation of leaders in Lesotho." Your participation in this year's NHL hockey pool is very much appreciated. We believe it will provide students and their friends and families an opportunity to have fun together while giving back to their community by raising awareness and funds for a great cause. Prizes: > Grand Prize awarded to contestant whose team accumulates the most points over the regular NHL season = 10" Samsung Galaxy Tablet > Monthly Prizes awarded to the contestants whose teams accumulate the most points over each designated period (see website) = Two Movie Passes How it Works: > Everyone in the community is welcome to join in on the fun.

  • A Matter of Inches My Last Fight
    INDEPENDENT PUBLISHERS GROUP A Matter of Inches How I Survived in the Crease and Beyond Clint Malarchuk, Dan Robson Summary No job in the world of sports is as intimidating, exhilarating, and stress­ridden as that of a hockey goaltender. Clint Malarchuk did that job while suffering high anxiety, depression, and obsessive compulsive disorder and had his career nearly literally cut short by a skate across his neck, to date the most gruesome injury hockey has ever seen. This autobiography takes readers deep into the troubled mind of Clint Malarchuk, the former NHL goaltender for the Quebec Nordiques, the Washington Capitals, and the Buffalo Sabres. When his carotid artery was slashed during a collision in the crease, Malarchuk nearly died on the ice. Forever changed, he struggled deeply with depression and a dependence on alcohol, which nearly cost him his life and left a bullet in his head. Now working as the goaltender coach for the Calgary Flames, Malarchuk reflects on his past as he looks forward to the future, every day grateful to have cheated death­twice. 9781629370491 Pub Date: 11/1/14 Author Bio Ship Date: 11/1/14 Clint Malarchuk was a goaltender with the Quebec Nordiques, the Washington Capitals, and the Buffalo Sabres. $25.95 Hardcover Originally from Grande Prairie, Alberta, he now divides his time between Calgary, where he is the goaltender coach for the Calgary Flames, and his ranch in Nevada.
