Boston Bruins at a Crossroads: 5 Burning Questions Heading Into Training Camp

The air is getting crisp, the skates are being sharpened, and for the Boston Bruins, the winds of change are blowing with the force of a nor’easter.

It’s a calculated gamble. On paper, the plan is sound. In reality, it places an immense amount of pressure on the surgically repaired ligaments and bones of a few key men.
