The Boston Bruins are working with a rotating seven defenseman roster.

See how the system is working for the Black and Gold here. (Boston Bruins)
Our associates over at Editor in Leaf give a very good review of Bobby Orr‘s autobiography, Orr: My Story. This sentence of the review summed up a lot of local opinions on the book. “This was not a fourth-liner looking to cash in on locker room stories, or drop bombshells on any controversy that may squeeze in a few more nickels. This was a guy that loves hockey telling his story.” Read the whole review here. (Editor in Leaf)
