[edit] List of Boston Bruins players

When adding players to the Boston Bruins page, could you aso ensure that you add the players here too: List of Boston Bruins players. Thanks! Masterhatch 5 August 2005

Are there any Bruin fans who would like to work on the List of Boston Bruins players? --Sparkhurst 04:11, 26 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Record

Bruins set a record 57-14-7 in the '70-1 season; has it ever been beaten? Trekphiler 04:07, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

It wasn't a record for percentage (that was Boston in 1930 with .875) nor long for wins and points; Montreal beat them with 58-11-11 and 127 points in 1976, then racked up a 60-8-12 record the season following. Detroit surpassed the win (but not the point) total in 1996 with 62 wins. RGTraynor 06:17, 9 December 2005 (UTC)

Why wasn't another captain named after Thorton was traded? Marcus1060 06:06, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Mike Sullivan would be the better one to ask. Then again, leadership is in short supply in Boston these days. If I was going to pick a guy, I'd pick Axelsson, but I've no idea if he's a dressing-room leader type. RGTraynor 14:18, 27 January 2006 (UTC)

Leetch would be better suited as a leader for this team, provided he can stay healthy. This guy lead New York for so long, and is a future hall of famer and a legend around the sport, that he is the only real candidate. Kntrabssi 22:37, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

I think, Glen Murray (the veteran Bruin)& Brian Leetch (the veteran NHLer) could share the captaincy (like Briere & Drury in Buffalo). The Bruins have been captainless many times in their past, they seem to have a 'Captain Shmaptain' view of the 'C'. GoodDay 20:22, 20 March 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Cleanup

I've done a good bit of sprucing up to the article, as well as trimming back the 2006 season recap; no need for it to have more ink than the Bruins' Stanley Cup wins combined. RGTraynor 07:37, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

I just did a lot of cleanup and removed a lot of POV from the 2000s section. Still needs more. Reads way too much like a new article than an encyclopedia article. Haven't look at rest of article yet. Stoneice02 07:58, 1 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] why?

could we try to explain why this team seems to play horribly as of late? thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.168.74.57 (talk • contribs) 21:32, November 6, 2006

No, since that is POV better suited to team-related bulletin boards. I suggest the Bruins board on boston.com if you're interested. RGTraynor 03:32, 7 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Honored Members

This section needs to be written in pros, according to consensus at Wikipedia: WikiProject Ice Hockey/Team pages format. Stay tuned. GoodDay 21:56, 26 April 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Free Agency (Part II)

Let's wait until July 1 (2007), before we start listing UFAs & RFAs. PS- What's wrong with Dotcanada's talk-page? The postings are invisiable. GoodDay 21:58, 22 May 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Boston-alternate.gif

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template.

[edit] Zhamnov??

What's the deal with Alexei Zhamnov?? His article says he's retired, the NHL lists him on IR with an ankle injury, and the Bruins don't have any reference to him. ccwaters 12:57, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

He never formally retired, apparently at the behest of the club, which would have had cap issues for some arcane reason if he did. RGTraynor 13:50, 1 November 2007 (UTC)

So is he on IR and/or the payroll of the Bruins? Is he in New England somewhere? Sounds vaguely like Mike Rathje's situation. ccwaters 16:15, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

He's neither on IR or on the Bruins' payroll. The Bruins do not list him on their website; NHL.com does cite him as still a theoretical Bruin. He may be on one of those arcane lists the league maintains. RGTraynor 23:20, 2 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Manny Fernandez's status

i'm wondering why he's not listed on the current roster. would this be because he's currently assigned to the providence bruins in the AHL? that would make sense, but it is only for conditioning after recovering from an injury. he's not an AHL-er. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hallisb (talk • contribs) 02:12, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
