The Bruins’ Centennial Season kicked off with a frenzy of activity. On the eve of the NHL Awards, Taylor Hall and Nick Foligno became the first casualties of Boston’s cap crunch.

It’s been just over a week since Vegas hoisted the Stanley Cup and basked in the adulation of the hockey world (also beer), and now the media’s collective attention has shifted to the summer.

The NHL trade deadline is still a day away, but there’s already been a flurry of activity across the league. Almost every team in the playoff hunt in the East has loaded up in the arms race. The Bruins padded their depth with a pair of former Capitals and Tyler Bertuzzi from Detroit. Toronto acquired Ryan O’Reilly, Noel Acciari, Jake …
The NHL Trade Deadline may still be five weeks out, but rumors are swirling all around around the league.

The Bruins NHL record 14 game home winning start to a season ended on Monday night after a 4-3 shootout loss to the Vegas Golden Knights.
