The
Bruins suspended Joe Murphy for insubordination to management. Apparently,
during the Toronto game, Murphy was sick with the flu, played about 5 minutes
of the first period, then had some words with Coach Burns, and was benched
the rest of the game. The Assistant GM the next day announced that Murphy
was suspended indefinitely for "insubordination detrimental to the team".
Murphy's agent said that there was a slim possibility that Murphy could play
for the Bruins again, but this leads to the impression that he meant either
the coach goes, or Murphy goes...just what the B's needed, another Oates...

and a point. The Bruins posted 51 shots on backup goalie Craig Billington

W 4-2: at Boston
The
Bruins are undefeated in the month of February. Dafoe played well this game,
and the Bruins defense played well overall. Sergei Samsonov had a big game,
and things are starting to settle down in the locker room apparently after
the suspension of Joe Murphy...

Ray
Bourque scored the Bruins only powerplay goal in the third period to give
the Bruins a 4-3 lead with a little under 8 minutes to play inthe game, but
Rade Bonk scored with 33 seconds left in regulation to give the flu-ridden
Senators a tie and another point in the Eastern Coference standings. Ron Tugnutt
played well making 38 saves on the night. Dafoe also played well, making 24
stops for hte B's. Rob DiMaio and P.J. Axellson each had a goal and an assist,
and Anson Carter scored his 22nd of the season.

The Bruins went through preseason undefeated, with 2 ties and six wins
overrall for the 1999-2000 preseason schedule. Openning game is October 2,
1999 for the Bruins 99-00 season in Boston vs. the Carolina Hurricanes.
9-15-99
The Bruins have signed Dave Andreychuck (formerly of the New Jersey Devils)
to a one year contract. He is to carry a lot of the load the Dmitri Kristich
was carrying during last season. Kristich led the Bruins last year with 29
goals. Andreychuck ahs played for Pat Burns in Toronto, and is impressed with
the Bruins club and the current roster and expects himself to have a productive
season in Boston.
8-15-99
Well, Pat Burns' second year was not much of a surprise to anyone who
knows of his talent. Joe Thornton has become a major presence in the roster,
and Sergei Samsonov is going to be a player to watch. The Bruins have signed
everyone they wanted to except for one major player: Byron Dafoe. This could
hamper things if he is not signed, because not only will he go somewhere else
(where the Bruins would have to play against him,) but also because of the
outstanding season he had last year. Hopefully things will work out and Lord
Byron will be signed to a contract by the time that the regular season starts.
PRESEASON
NOTE:
As they work to improve their offensive firepower, the Bruins have also come
a ways in defence. I mean, Raymond Bourque is not getting any younger, and
although he could play another 5 years, he will retire soon and the Bruins
are going to need to replace him (not that he IS replaceable.) Kyle McLaren,
when healthy, is very good, and then there is Hal Gill. A player who is huge,
and skates well. Should be fun to watch some of the younger guys develop into
real big-time players. And with Bourque teaching them, they should do well.

ESPN's site is good for all around sports news and information, but there's a lot of eroneous information that you can get lost in.
