For the second time in two seasons, Boston was bounced from the Stanley Cup Playoffs by the Florida Panthers - this year's eventual Stanley Cup champion. The 2023-24 edition of the Bruins was considered a bridge team after key veterans Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci hung up their skates and Taylor Hall and Tyler Bertuzzi moved on. General manager Don Sweeney and president Cam Neely were up against the hard cap last offseason, necessitating those moves. Well, they won't have that problem this offseason.

3 Players Bruins Should Target in Free Agency

Detroit, MI

Former Detroit Red Wings winger Marty Pavelich has passed away at the age of 96. Pavelich was the oldest living player to play 100 career games or more in the NHL. Pavelich was built through the Red Wings system. He began his career with Detroit’s juniors team, the Galt Red Wings, in 1946, where he played alongside future Hall-of-Fame goalie Terry Sawchuk. Pavelich’s strong juniors season earned him a call-up to Detroit’s minor-league affiliate, the Indianapolis Capitals, in the following season — a move he quickly vindicated by earning a full-time NHL role. Pavelich posted four goals and 12 points in 41 games as a rookie but quickly followed it with 26 points in 60 games as a sophomore. More importantly, Pavelich showed signs of strong grit. It was enough to inspire then-head coach Tommy Ivan to build a checking line around the forward that supported Detroit’s stars, serving as a big factor in the team’s run to the Stanley Cup in 1950.

The first time my family walked into a Ponderosa Steakhouse was in the late 1960s. It was new and the experience was great. Like other new restaurants, if the management doesn't stay on top, the quality of service can decline. The location we went to did change through the years, but in the beginning, it was great.
