BOSTON — The Bruins practiced today at the TD Garden after taking Sunday off.
Among the squad on the ice was winger Brad Marchand, who then had a phone hearing with NHL disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan about a potential fine or suspension for the clip on Vancouver’s Sami Salo Saturday.

In discussing tomorrow’s start of the free-agent “frenzy” today during a conference call, Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli’s favorite word was “wary.”
Since Peter Chiarelli took over as general manager of the Bruins, draft night and day typically has brought in a bevvy of centers to the organization.

Although the excitement level for the Bruins going into this year’s draft isn’t as high as it was a year ago when they held the No. 2 overall pick, general manager Peter Chiarelli is still eager to get to St. Paul, Minnesota and make his club’s pick at No. 9 Friday night.

BOSTON — Last summer, Tim Thomas trade rumors were all the rage.
Today Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli explained how dealing the eventual Conn Smythe Trophy winner wasn’t as close as some reported.

BOSTON — The Bruins have their coaching staff under contract, all but five of their 23 players are signed for next season and they emerged from the 2011 Stanley Cup championship run relatively healthy.
So a repeat should be in the works next season, right?

You’ll never find a better explanation of how not dead-set in his ways head coach Claude Julien is — and in fact does make changes when necessary — than what general manager Peter Chiarelli said today during a pre-Stanley Cup Final press conference at the TD Garden today.

There’s an even bigger dilemma for the Bruins right now than where to place Chris Kelly in the lineup and which “puck-moving defensemen” to close a deal for in the trade market.
Neely
BOSTON — This is what the Bruins brought Cam Neely back to thire organization to do, and why they promoted him all the way to president of the franchise.

Many have been campaigning in recent days for the Bruins to utilize the same loophole Los Angeles used earlier this season with Brayden Schenn to send rookie Tyler Seguin to the Providence (AHL) farm club on a conditioning assignment.

If the Feb. 28 trade deadline passes with the Bruins doing nothing more than the equivalent of adding a Steve Montador- or even Dennis Seidenberg-type defenseman, general manager Peter Chiarell should be prepared for crowds of people with pitchforks to show up at his office door.
WILMINGTON, Mass. — Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli, who’s scheduled to meet with concussed center Marc Savard and the player’s agent this weekend, sounds like a man that expects he won’t have Savard for the long haul and will gain flexibility by placing the player on LTIR.
