Welcome to a new week, folks!
The headline and photo don’t match, I’m aware — I was trying to tie in the fact that Bruins head coach Marco Sturm relatively recently visited a New England Patriots practice, but there were no photos of that encounter in the archive.
That was really only relevant because the Patriots started yesterday and it didn’t go terribly well, but it’s only Week 1.
Instead, I have baseball, which is played on a diamond…my sports references are all over the place, I know.
Anyways,
hopefully you had a good weekend!
Captains’ practices wrapped up last week, meaning the youths will be in the spotlight this week: Rookie Camp is slated to open at Warrior Arena on Wednesday, while the Prospects Challenge tournament in Buffalo begins later this week.
Other than that, all eyes are on training camp, which is scheduled to open on September 17.
The B’s first preseason game will be just four days later, as they host the Washington Capitals at TD Garden on Sunday, September 21.
It feels like once September gets here, all of the dates start blurring together, so…here we are.
We’ll start some of our preseason look back/look ahead content tomorrow with David Pastrnak, and I actually have it already scheduled, so I’m sticking to it this time. Good job, me.
With training camp starting a week from Wednesday, this is kind of the last “quiet week” we’ll have for quite a while, so it’s a good time to stretch your typing fingers, practice your hot takes, choose your scapegoat, etc.
That way, by the time opening night rolls around, you’ll be in mid-season form.
It’s definitely a “feels like fall” morning in Boston today, so you know that the hockey season is right around the corner.
What’s on tap for today?
