John Adams: Former Bruins’ Goalie, Not President
April 20, 2012
By Joe Donahue, www.theo6.com
When older Bruins’ fans have the opportunity to view the Stanley Cup, their attention is often drawn to the 1970 Bruins, the first of two championships won during the Orr era. Some of the names are echoed in hockey history – Orr, Esposito, Bucyk, Cheevers, Adams. “Whoa, wait a minute. Who the hell was John Adams the hockey player?” has been muttered more than a few times by curious hockey fans across North America.
The heart of the 1970 winter was winding down in Boston and the Bruins, looking to give regular goaltenders Gerry Cheevers and Eddie Johnston a bit of a rest before the start of the playoffs, reached down to their farm team, the Oklahoma City Blazers, and called goalie prospect John Adams up to the big club for the final weeks of the regular season. “They told me they’d try to get me in a few games down the stretch but it wasn’t meant to be,” said the affable Adams. “We ended up being in a tight race with Chicago for first place which came down to the final night of the season and I guess they didn’t trust a rookie in goal.” The Blackhawks eventually secured first place in the East Division on the wild final nights of the season (which had multiple teams pulling their goalie for extra attackers early in the third period due to tie-breakers) and the Bruins settled for the second seed.

Time For The Bruins To Get Dirty
April 16, 2012
By Joe Donahue, www.theo6.com
They’re only two games into the 2012 Stanley Cup playoffs and it’s evident that the Boston Bruins have lost focus on one of the key components from last year’s championship season and this season’s run to the second seed in the Eastern Conference – their willingness to go to the painful, dirty spots in the offensive zone.
If a team’s offense is predicated on shots from along the boards, even a rookie goalie like the Caps’ Braden Holtby will knock them away with ease. Long shots from the point are fine, only if you have traffic in front of the net to screen, deflect or pounce on a loose rebound. Chara’s slapshot, even at 104 MPH, is not a difficult save if the goaltender has a clean look at it.
Take a look back at Game 7 of last year’s Stanley Cup Final vs. Vancouver. The Bruins first goal by Bergeron came as he stood in traffic out front and quickly one-timed a beautiful Marchand feed. Luongo never saw it through all the bodies.
Their second goal came when Marchand stole the puck and was able to go around the net and attack the goal with a wraparound backhander.
Bergeron essentially put the game out of reach when he intercepted pass and literally scored the third goal by sliding face first into the befuddled Luongo.
End result: 4-0 victory and the Stanley Cup
Starting in Game 3 vs. Washington, it’s time for the team to return to their physical game and Milan Lucic must set the tone. He’s considered the “baddest” of the Bruins, so it’s imperative that he lead by example and get the team back to their proven way of being an elite NHL team.

NHL Trade Deadline: Bruins Add Depth, Not Big Names
February 28, 2012
By Joe Donahue, www.theo6.com
Yesterday marked the passing of the 2012 NHL trade deadline and, as expected, the Boston Bruins opted to add depth to their existing core instead of an eye-opening, major acquisition that could possibly disrupt the chemistry of the defending Stanley Cup champions. The Bruins acquired one coveted player at last year’s deadline – Tomas Kaberle – who came along for the Stanley Cup ride but contributed little, if anything. The true value last year was found with under-the-radar, lunch bucket players Rich Peverley and Chris Kelley (cost: Blake Wheeler, Mark Stuart and a second round draft pick), supporting players who elevated their games during the playoffs. Yesterday’s additions, even less sexy than last year’s, very well could provide the missing ingredients for another long playoff run.
The most familiar name coming to Boston is Brian Rolston from the New York Islanders, who played over 350 games for the Bruins after being traded here from Colorado in 2000 as part of the Ray Bourque deal. Rolston, 39, may very well be running on fumes at this point, but is a solid locker room presence and might be serviceable on the team’s power play. If healthy, he still possesses the speed to be a useful two-way if used in spurts rather than logging heavy ice time. This very well might be his final shot at winning another Stanley Cup (’95 New Jersey Devils) and he should be motivated for one last kick at the can.
Also coming over from the Islanders – the Bruins gave up two D-list prospects in all – was Mike Mottau, a native of Quincy, MA. He is expected to be a depth defenseman, much like Shane Hnidy was at the end of last season.
The player acquired yesterday most likely to help the Bruins is defenseman Greg Zanon, acquired from the Minnesota Wild in exchange for young defenseman Steven Kampfer, who was extremely inconsistent in his limited duty with Boston and reportedly fell out of favor with Bruins management for his lack of conditioning. Zanon is the poster boy for stay-at-home defensemen and takes pride in being one of the top shot-blocking defensemen in the NHL. Think of him as a modern day Gary Doak, if you will.
The Bruins are pretty much locked into the second seed in the Eastern Conference and the depth acquired yesterday might be able to help them spot a few regulars before the grinding Stanley Cup playoffs begin in mid-April.
