Bruins-Senators Game 1 Takeaways: Are We Sure Zdeno Chara Is A Human Being?
The Boston Bruins looked dead in the water after 40 minutes on Wednesday night in Ottawa. However, the Bruins — as they have for much of Bruce Cassidy’s brief tenure — were able to dig deep and find a way to win, scoring two third-period goals en route to a 2-1 win over the Senators in Game 1 of their Stanley Cup playoffs first-round series. The gutsy effort was especially impressive given how bleak the situation appeared entering the third period.

NHL Trade Deadline: Leafs Should Make Minor Move Only, Protect Future
Share this: The Toronto Maple Leafs’ path toward the Stanley Cup might be a little ahead of schedule, but that doesn’t mean Brendan Shanahan and Co. should mortgage any part of the team’s future to win right now. Sure, making the playoffs and earning that experience would be nice, but the Leafs must stay the course in what has been a successful rebuild thus far. Auston Matthews, the 2016 No. 1 overall draft pick, is on his way to the Calder Trophy with a rookie-leading 30 goals. Mitch Marner, the fourth overall pick in 2015, is having a fantastic rookie campaign, too. Former first-round picks Morgan Rielly and Jake Gardiner also are blossoming nicely on the blue line. The Leafs have built a talented foundation
