NHL Draft, Round 1: Jordan Caron

Bruins have selected Jordan Caron as their first round pick. He's a RW out of Rimouski, Quebec. Initial research says that he is a little bit overly aggressive, and tends to think he's a little larger than he might actually be. Coming out of a 67 point, 66 PIM season with Rimouski Oceanic of the QMJHL, he's definitely a project pick. He will have to tone down his ego a little bit, but that's the price you pay for picking 25th overall. He does bring a hard shot, though, which is of course always welcome on this team.

GO BRUINS!

VROOOM: GO SPITFIRES!

Howdy, y'all. Later today (around 4 or 4:30 pm EST, depending on where you look on the official website) the Memorial Cup Finals will be taking place on the NHL Network in the US and Sportsnet in Canada.

Watch it. Every memorial cup game I've watched this year has been stunning. The champion team from the three Canadian Major Junior leagues each travel to one host city and the four teams play round robin, followed by a play-in round, a semifinal, and a final. The top of the round robin automatically plays the final, but the bottom team could - if tied with the third team - play in all the way to the finals.

This year, the Windsor Spitfires are that team. They're taking on the Kelowna Rockets. And I suggest you at least flip over from Wings/Hawks a couple times if you've got NHL Network.

Some Bruins prospects have been playing in the tournament, including Yannick Riendieu, who the Bruins signed back in february or march or somesuch. He's been lighting it up, but was eliminated by Windsor recently.

Go spitfires, but really
GO BRUINS!
