Oh I see, I didn't realize that Jordan and Jonathan weren't on the actual Boston Bruins team. I did't realize that NHL teams had minor league affiliates either. Okay , thanks for that update!McConvey wrote:Actually, P-B's is nothing official. It's my lazy shortcut way of distinguishing them from the Boston Bruins (or B's). Verbally everyone says either P-Bruins or Baby B's. But both of those are long and unweildy to type, so I've shortened it to P-B's.
Yes but I still figured out that you meant Providence Bruins, and I don't even follow hockey outside of BG (meaning current players at the school) and the CCHA (meaning how BG is doing in the CCHA).McConvey wrote:Actually, P-B's is nothing official.

Yeah, there's quite an elaborate minor league system in hockey. Nothing like baseball's, mind, but there are four leagues at different levels in the States/Canada. There's nothing comparable in football or basketball.falconboy wrote:Oh I see, I didn't realize that Jordan and Jonathan weren't on the actual Boston Bruins team.

Sweet! Does that mean I get free room and board at any Finnish embassy around the world? And do they have one in Indianapolis?Falcons4Life wrote:To whoever tried to spell Toivonen....congratulations....you got it right!!! GO Finland!
Alright, seriously - does Boston have any nationally televised games coming up on OLN or NBC? I really, really want to see Jordan wearing that "B." If anyone has a picture of him in his NHL uni, that would be great, too!McConvey wrote:Jordan got called back up to Boston today.
Raycroft is hurt worse than they thought, so he's not practicing at all right now.
Tim Thomas is still playing out of his skull, so Jordan will likely see little to no ice time. Unless Raycroft ends up out for a long time. But whatever, Jordan is up!
Depends, do they play the Red Wings, Rangers, Flyers, Avs or Penguins in the next couple weeks?Bleeding Orange wrote:Alright, seriously - does Boston have any nationally televised games coming up on OLN or NBC?
Yeah, tell me about it. As a Sens fan, I never get to see them play unless they are playing Phoenix, and to my knowledge they have not so far this year.TG1996 wrote:Depends, do they play the Red Wings, Rangers, Flyers, Avs or Penguins in the next couple weeks?Bleeding Orange wrote:Alright, seriously - does Boston have any nationally televised games coming up on OLN or NBC?
), but DAMN does Thomas look good! You could never tell that he is a rookie out there the way he is directing his defense, especially on the PP! I'm watching the Bruins vs. Caps game on OLN right now, and I have to admit that I am really, really impressed with this kid. An astounding stat - 15 shutouts in 45 games in Finland last year?
