Bruins vs Hounds Preview


The Bruins will face the Notre Dame Hounds for the second time this season tonight at Spectra Place.

The Bruins have made a trade that should be announced later today, I know one Bruin player will be heading out of province, but until an official release is handed out I won't announce who it is.

I think the entire Bruins team will be ready for tonight's game as they look for redemption this week after a poor showing in Wilcox on Saturday. The Bruins had very little intensity that night and I'm sure they won't make the same mistake again.

The Bruins top line of Calder Neufeld-Dylan Smith-Cole Olson have been lighting up the scoreboard since training camp and will look to continue that pace tonight. These three have great chemistry, and all three players are capable of putting the puck in the net and setting each other up for great chances. If Notre Dame is to beat the Bruins tonight, they need to shut down the top line.

In order for the Bruins to pick up the win they need to cut down on their defensive mistakes. Early on this season the Bruins have been coughing up the puck too many times in their zone and hanging out Derek Tendler to dry. If the Bruins can cut down on the turnovers in their own zone they stand a good chance to win.

Make sure you head to the game early as former Bruins Coach and former two sport star Gerry James will be on hand at the game. James is on tour right now promoting his new book Kid Dynamite, James will be able to sign his book for you tonight.

Opening faceoff is 7:30.
