Sorry, feeling a bit salty today. Didn't mean to come off as rude. Women of all hair colors are wonderful!

Must every athlete have a blonde (and usually buxom) wife/girlfriend?

I like that Beleskey is loving Boston right now. Sweeney: " We want players that want to play in Boston ". Signs Beleskey for less than markey price and less than his original club offered. I think he'll be a great Bruin.
All women can be blondes. Remember that.
I am one that believes strongly that of a player has a big desire to play for a particular team and fan base, that player usually tries to bring his best when at play.
Good to hear that Belly is content to be a Bruin and enjoying the Boston city as well.
I hear you. getting older stinks.
To be fair ... Clarkson and Bolland really wanted to play for the Leafs
I'm mainly talking based on his skillset. I recognize he doesn't have a large track record of goals but before this season he was only getting around 12 minutes of ice time and a very little on the power play. Hell, Gregory Campbell got 12 minutes per game for us this year! This season he still only got 14:30 per game and 1:32 of PP time per game but finished 15th in the league in GF/60. He got 16 minutes per game in the playoffs and I don't think it is any coincidence he scored 8 goals in 16 games.
If he can get 16-17 minutes per game on a top 2 line and more PP ice he should have no problem getting 25+ goals.
Did you watch all of his goals from last year? Have a look because it's not like he was just getting tap ins from Getzlaf and Perry. Most of his goals were from good positioning and finding loose pucks around the net. Also is fantastic at deflections which we have been sorely missing since Recchi retired.
Clarkson took a huge payday to go back home. Bolland was traded to Toronto ( and actually played well before injuries ). Beleskey took a paycut on the open market and less money from his original team to move across the country and play for the Bruins.
I have high hopes for the kid but not many people come to the Bruins and have a career year in goals. It's usually quite the opposite. Hopefully he proves me wrong.

Both were hometown kids who repeatedly expressed how much it was a dream to play in their hometown and how unbelievably happy they were to be there.
Point is, it's great that MB wanted to come and thinks it's a good fit and absolutely awesome he left $ on the table (rumour was Edmonton offered Clarkson more too if you remember), but at the end of the day, it doesn't mean a whole lot for on ice performance.

Claude is going to the 'hurry up'. The goatee screams 'I'm a new guy. Hey world!!!! I'm going uptempo'
Beleskey will feel the benefits of the new high flying Bruins

With Krug, C. Miller, Beleskey, Spooner and Pastrnak, Claude will finally have the horses to realize his dream of implementing the Flying V!
