The Tallon Era Has Begun
In case you have missed it, Dale Tallon has finally struck as the General Manager for the Florida Panthers.
As reported by Bob McKenzie and Darren Dreger’s twitter accounts, the Florida Panthers have acquired Dennis Wideman, the 15th overall pick and a later round draft pick at the upcoming NHL Entry Draft on Friday in Los Angeles.
In return, the Boston Bruins received Gregory Campbell and Nathan Horton.
Now, we have to see the direction Tallon takes this team, and the other thing to watch is the salary cap situation in Boston as they are now extremely close, if not over the cap.

Neely gets White House promotion in Beantown
NHLHS Boston Bruins correspondent Brandon Macdonald reports on the Boston Bruins and their promoting Cam Neely as the team’s eighth President in their history.
After just three seasons serving as the Boston Bruins Vice President, the Bruins have named Cam Neely the eighth President in team history. It is only fitting that he is the eighth in team history, considering his number eight is retired at the Garden.
“I am honored and proud to be named the eighth team President in Boston Bruins history today,” Neely told Bruins.com. “The last three seasons working in the Bruins front office has been an experience that I have truly enjoyed each and every day. We have made great strides as an organization in recent years both on and off the ice. But having said that, we understand much more progress can be made, and much more progress needs to be made if we are able to meet our ultimate objectives. As President, I embrace these challenges that lie ahead and look forward to taking this organization to new heights.”

Bruins and Flyers – Summer Classic
NHLHS Boston Bruins Correspondent, Brandon Macdonald, discusses the second round match-up between the Philadelphia Flyers and Bruins.
The second round will see the Boston Bruins face off against the Philadelphia Flyers. This is the story about two teams that faced completely different scenarios throughout the regular season.
The Bruins were not capable of putting together consistent offensive scenarios, where the Flyers could not keep a goalie in the net as long as it takes to make a pot of coffee.
The season series between the Bruins and Flyers was split at 2-2. The Bruins took the last meeting between the teams by a score of 5-1. The most memorable game of both team’s season came on New Year’s Day when the two teams faced off in the annual Winter Classic. Philly thought they had everything wrapped up until Mark Recchi tied it up with just over two minutes remaining. The rest involves Marco Sturm but we don’t need to get in to that now.

Bruins Keys to Playoff Success
Newest talent to NHLHS, Brandon Macdonald, discusses the success of the Boston Bruins and why they are heading into the semi-finals of the 2010 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs.
It was a playoff series that featured the world’s best goaltender and one of the rising stars on the backend. The majority of experts, when making their playoff picks, chose the Buffalo Sabres to roll over the Boston Bruins in the first round of the NHL’s Stanley Cup playoffs.
Things did not go as planned, as they rarely do, and the Bruins were able to pass the Sabres in six games without the help of number one center and offensive playmaker Marc Savard. ‘Savvy’, who is a large piece of the Bruins puzzle, has been out since March 7, when Penguins’ forward Matt Cooke threw the infamous check that led to Savard missing the remaining games of the regular season and well into these playoffs as he still hasn’t returned.
