Morning Skate: Beginning

It is Wednesday, my dudes.

And for all intents and purposes, today marks the beginning of hockey season, as the Bruins open training camp with off-ice activities today.

On-ice festivities will begin tomorrow, with the preseason starting on Sunday.

It was a weird off-season in many ways: the abrupt end to the season led a lot of fans to kind of tune out.

Those who didn’t tune out were often really, really mad (not so much around here, you folks are fairly level-headed). That only increased in intensity when Vegas won the Stanley Cup.

After that, the Bruins’ top two centers retired, the team signed a glut of depth guys when free agency opened, their trade deadline acquisitions went elsewhere, there was an airport fashion show.
