Boston Bruins Newcomer Set to Make Significant Impact
In a bold move this offseason, the Boston Bruins shook things up by sending Linus Ullmark, their star goaltender, to the Ottawa Senators. This decision broke up the NHL’s dynamic duo between Ullmark and fellow star, Jeremy Swayman. As a result, Swayman is set to take on a much larger role in the upcoming 2024-25 season. The Bruins acquired forward Mark Kastelic in the Ullmark trade. In doing so, they add a player who may not grab headlines just yet, but has the potential to greatly strengthen the team’s lineup. Mark Kastelic is famous for his physical play, and there’s no doubt he’ll bring that same level of physicality to the Bruins.

Some folks agree with this law while others think it's complete nonsense. In addition, this law doesn't seem to be enforced in Massachusetts at least not in my area. So, why even have the law if it's not being enforced? Either way, the law is the law.
