I'm assuming @mchmura will be picking up the Bruins reporters on his way to Wilmington. Thanks, Matt!

Best moment of my day so far: Realizing I do, in fact, own a hat. And yes I did grow up in Massachusetts, thanks for asking.

Proof that I have made it to Ristuccia Arena. https://pbs.twimg.com/media/BdEeWUQIcAATHyk.jpg

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/3/2014 4:53:59 PM
Bruins equipment manager Keith Robinson came to Ristuccia with the skates after last night's game. He slept here.

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/3/2014 4:57:21 PM
A few Bruins are already on the ice. Bartkowski, Miller, Fraser, Caron, both goalies. http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BdEjffsIMAErTcs.jpg

Don't buy tripe that #NHLJets better off finishing last and getting a top pick. There are other ways to bld a winner. See Saturday's Sun.

Sat beside a 'Toba dad going to watch his son play a college game at Fenway tomorrow. It's hovering around 0F (-18C) in Boston.

by Paul Friesen via twitter 1/4/2014 4:21:36 AM
Torey Krug was cagey about any potential ailment. Will talk to the trainers before the game.

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/4/2014 4:01:14 PM
Justin Florek has been recalled on an emergency basis.

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/4/2014 4:04:18 PM
No indication yet why the Bruins have recalled Florek. All forwards took part in practice yesterday.

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/4/2014 4:07:01 PM
Soderberg-to-Smith backdoor PP play doesn't work. For once.

by Fluto Shinzawa via twitter 1/4/2014 8:09:08 PM
Reilly Smith cleans up the puck. That's his 15th. 4-1.

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/4/2014 8:13:41 PM
That'll do it. Reilly Smith left alone to make it 4-1, Bruins over #NHLJets

by Paul Friesen via twitter 1/4/2014 8:13:43 PM
Typical Pavelec. Unbelievable saves, followed by softies at critical points.

by Fluto Shinzawa via twitter 1/4/2014 8:14:19 PM
Pavelec has company. Too many peaks/valleys from WPG's best players: Ladd-Little-Wheeler, Kane, Byfuglien.

by Fluto Shinzawa via twitter 1/4/2014 8:17:23 PM
Fight night continues. No. it's not Krug.

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/4/2014 8:19:37 PM
Ends with a nice hug between McQuaid and Stuart. Warms the heart.

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/4/2014 8:20:10 PM
It's all over but the scrappin'. #Bruins #NHLJets

by Paul Friesen via twitter 1/4/2014 8:20:28 PM
The making of an upset? #NHLJets #Pens

by Paul Friesen via twitter 1/5/2014 6:46:54 PM
Going into road trip, one win in three games was a minimum. But if the #NHLJets win this, they go home feeling pretty good.

by Paul Friesen via twitter 1/5/2014 6:59:40 PM
This is the 1st time Pit hasn't scored the opening goal at home since Nov. 15. #NHLJets

by Paul Friesen via twitter 1/5/2014 7:01:13 PM
Byfuglien tries to do too much, gives it away and just like that it's 2-1, #NHLJets over pens.

by Paul Friesen via twitter 1/5/2014 7:06:08 PM
There is no explanation for that play by No. 33. None. #NHLJets

by Paul Friesen via twitter 1/5/2014 7:06:55 PM
Iffy tripping call on Wheeler, and the Pens strike. Pretty play, Neal from Letang. 2-2. #NHLJets have squandered their good start.

by Paul Friesen via twitter 1/5/2014 7:12:44 PM
Montoya lets in a softie to Neal. #NHLJets are falling apart.

by Paul Friesen via twitter 1/5/2014 7:14:20 PM
Bogosian tipped that one with his stick. Second time he tried an ill-advised stick play on that shift. #NHLJets

by Paul Friesen via twitter 1/5/2014 7:15:22 PM
Pens turn for the horrible giveaway, Orpik, and Wheeler pounces. 3-3 #NHLJets

by Paul Friesen via twitter 1/5/2014 7:17:00 PM
Last time I was here, Pens beat the #NHLJets 8-5. I'll take the under.

by Paul Friesen via twitter 1/5/2014 7:17:55 PM
It is 75 degrees in Anaheim. There are 10 inches of snow on the ground in Boston. I am making no promises about coming home.

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/6/2014 7:14:57 PM
Paparazzi. We are near LA... MT @JamieErdahl : Bartkowski lone #Bruins on ice. And there's @AmalieBenjamin yonder... http://pbs.twimg.com/media/BdVJxSMCcAAEY6V.jpg”

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/6/2014 10:43:09 PM
Loui Eriksson still wearing green.

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/6/2014 10:44:30 PM
Justin Florek in merlot jersey today. Four in merlot (including Thornton).

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/6/2014 10:45:47 PM
Jordan Caron the only Bruin not on the ice right now. Missed the last game with a stiff back.

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/6/2014 10:51:44 PM
Thornton does a quick switch by the bench. Now in a black (defense) jersey.

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/6/2014 10:56:43 PM
Thornton draws Kevan Miller as his defense partner. Other pairs are the usual (Chara-Dougie, Bart-Boychuk, Krug-McQuaid).

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/6/2014 11:15:22 PM
Loui Eriksson working with the guys in gray - Soderberg, Spooner, Fraser.

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/6/2014 11:18:10 PM
Loui Eriksson makes Team Sweden roster. He remains still not cleared for contact.

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/7/2014 2:50:00 PM
Carl Soderberg's departure from Sweden caused him not to be considered. He remains happy with his decision. Said he hopes time heals.

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/7/2014 2:51:51 PM
Loui Eriksson is in white, not green, but has been in all morning skates. Not necessarily an indicator that he's been cleared for contact.

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/7/2014 7:34:05 PM
Koivu: "It’s probably one of the toughest decisions that I’ve had to face so far in my career. But I strongly believe it was the right one."

by Eric Stephens via twitter 1/7/2014 7:48:24 PM
Selanne: "Obviously every Olympics is very special. But obviously to be able to play [in] six is a big honor."

by Eric Stephens via twitter 1/7/2014 7:56:08 PM
Absolutely no surprise that it is Tuukka Rask in goal for Boston tonight in what is a premier matchup against Ducks.

by Eric Stephens via twitter 1/7/2014 7:58:53 PM
Patrice Bergeron found out he'd made Team Canada via voicemail. He was sleeping at 6:30 a.m. when Peter Chiarelli called.

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/7/2014 8:13:55 PM
Caron will not be ready for tonight's game. Florek will play. Bruins just wanted to get him out on the ice.

by Amalie Benjamin via twitter 1/7/2014 8:24:24 PM
Patrice Bergeron on Team Canada's tough choices: "It is a hard task, hard job. I‘m just very honored and excited that I was picked."
