| BOSTON (AP) The Boston Bruins rebuilt faster than expected and the result was a 50-win season in 2017-18 Authentic Louis Domingue Jersey , the 10th in franchise history.But their playoff run ended in the second round, leaving room for improvement that owner Jeremy Jacobs hopes comes with the continued maturity of Bostons young players around its core of veterans.Jacobs was asked about his expectations during the Bruins media day Monday at Warrior Ice Arena.My expectations never lessen so far as this team is concerned. Theyre young, weve got that on our side, and weve got a good warehouse of talent, said Jacobs, whos entering his 44th season of ownership of the Bruins.I expect them to improve on last year. Because we didnt start as strongly, I guess it was more the finish http://www.officiallightningprostore.com/authentic-adidas-mikhail-sergachev-jersey , we didnt (the start) have last year.The Bruins started 6-7-4 last season, but their 50-20-12 record earned them second place in the Atlantic Division and Eastern Conference.After defeating the Toronto Maple Leafs in seven games in the first round the Bruins first playoff series win since 2014 they fell to the Tampa Bay Lightning in five games in the second round.The Bruins open their regular season Wednesday on the road against the defending Stanley Cup champion Washington Capitals, who will raise their championship banner during a pregame ceremony.As if the competition wasnt enough of a challenge in Bostons attempt to have a better start, theyll have a greater challenge because defenseman Torey Krug will not be in the lineup.Krug had a left ankle injury in the Bruins preseason finale against the Philadelphia Flyers on Saturday. Krug is in a walking boot and will be evaluated in three weeks.Krug had 59 points (14 goals, 45 assists) in 76 games last season and was working his way back from a fractured ankle that ended his season after the fourth game against Tampa Bay in the playoffs.With Matt Grzelcyk, the replacement for an injured Krug both at 5-on-5 and on the power play, trying to return from a lower-body injury Nikita Kucherov Jersey , the Bruins depth is being tested early.Well given the fact that Torey is starting injured, I think that adding John Moore was a benefit to our group and deepening that, said general manager Don Sweeney, who signed Moore as an unrestricted free agent from the New Jersey Devils on July 1.Rookie Urho Vaakanainen is also in line to pick up some of the slack depending on Grzelcyks status.The Bruins have at least gotten positive news on center Patrice Bergeron, whose return from offseason groin surgery was hampered by back spasms. He didnt play in any preseason games, but practiced with the team for the second time on Monday and took contact in some drills. He anticipates being in the lineup on opening night.Like Jacobs, Bruins president Cam Neely desires a better start to the season. However Ondrej Palat Jersey , Neelys more interested in how the Bruins finish.I dont want us to look at our point total and how many wins, Neely said. I want us to look at are we playing the way we want to play, are we playing the way the coach would like us to play, are we competing in a way that gives us chances to win every game and are we getting better as the season progresses as we get into the playoffs. CALGARY, Alberta (AP) NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman says the Calgary Flames financial situation continues to deteriorate as the team remains at the aging Scotiabank Saddledome.This building, in its time, was a work of art. Its time is long past Ryan Callahan Jersey , Bettman said Friday in Calgary as part of his Western Canadian tour. They dont build buildings like this anymore.Bettman listed a lack of amenities for fans and players as well as opportunities for ownership to generate revenue among the many shortcomings of the building that opened in 1983.He said it simply doesnt compare in any way to Rogers Place, the new home of the Edmonton Oilers.Have you been up the road to Edmonton? Bettman said. Do you see a difference between the two buildings? You know the answer to the question.Bettman added that Calgary concert-goers are losing out, too.I was told that there were 27 acts, some of them multiple days, that have played in Edmonton since the building opened that havent played here, Bettman said. That goes to the quality of life of the city and thats an indication as to the differences in the buildings.Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi has said the Flames proposal for a $500 million arena places a heavy tax burden on the city, but the Flames say the citys plan would ultimately see the team foot the entire cost of construction.Bettman was involved throughout the process in Edmonton http://www.officiallightningprostore.com/authentic-adidas-ryan-mcdonagh-jersey , working with then Mayor Stephen Mandel and owner Daryl Katz in helping get the deal done. He has no such involvement in Calgary.You cant dance unless youre invited to the dance. I havent been invited to this dance, Bettman said. |
