Rookie Watch: Boston Bruins

~
Each Day until September 15th TPS will take a look at one team from the East and one team from the West and spotlight a few rookies to watch for this season. Since Dean began his half of the job with the Vancouver Canucks I thought it only fitting to look at the other finalist, the defending Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins.

Bruins Prospect Snap Shot

~
The Boston Bruins have been around for 86 years with 5 Stanley Cup’s in their trophy case. The last title came in 1972, and the Bruins last contended for the cup in 1990 losing to the Oilers. Boston has 3 times drafted first overall taking Barry Gibbs in 1966, Gord Kluzak in 1982, and Joe Thornton in 1997. That year the Bruins also took Sergei Samsonov 8th overall. In 2010 Boston will also have 2 first round picks (If they don’t trade one) thanks to the Phil Kessel trade with Toronto.

The Bruins top minor league team is in Providence. The baby Bruins won a Calder Cup in 1999, but are struggling right. As of this writing they were 7th in the Atlantic division.

Here now is a look at the top prospects of the Boston Bruins.

One on One: Phil Cornet

~
Tuesday night on The Pipeline Show I had a chance to catch up with Rouyn-Noranda Huskies forward Philippe Cornet. The QMJHL team has been in the news as of late, first because of their aggressive trade deadline acquisitions that has positioned the club to be a potential contender for the league title. The other newsworthy item featuring the Huskies as of late has been the suspension of forward Patrice Cormier after his dangerous and blatant elbow against Mikael Tam of the Quebec Remparts.

cornet, a prospect of the Edmonton Oilers, talked about joining the Huskies after three years in Rimouski, his failure to crack Canada's WJC roster, the changes to Rouyn-Noranda's roster and what the impact of his friend's actions may have on his team's chances this Spring.

Caron Injured After Teubert Hit

~
Colten Teubert is regarded as one of the most physical defencemen in the WHL and that's ne of the reasons Hockey Canada had him on their WJC last year and why he'll be in Saskatoon/Regina in 2010. Unfortunately for Jordan Caron (BOS), he found out the hard way just how hard the Regina Pats defender can hit; he's now out for 6-8 weeks with a broken collar bone.

The Rimouski Oceanic forward was injured during Saturday's Red/White game during Canada's U20 camp in Saskatoon. Caron had just received a breakout pass and was crossing over his own blueline when he was rocked by the 6'3, 190 lb Teubert in an very aggressive but clean hit.

"It's unfortunate but it's part of the game right?" Teubert told the media after the game, "I'm just doing my job and that's what I do so... it sucks for him but hopefully he has a quick recovery."

Caron was taken to hospital after the hit and on Sunday the severity of the injury was revealed. Teubert (LA), was not penalized on the play.

Team White (Teubert's side) won the game 5-2 with both Jordan Eberle (EDM) and Ryan O'Reilly (COL) picking up a goal and an assist.

Highlights of the game and that hit are available HERE.

There is another Red/White game tonight.
