The Bear is Back!

Last year the Bruin's launched a web-series titled The Bear and the Gang which chronicled the interactions between the B's mascot and various Bruins players, staff and personalities. If you missed any of last season don't fret, both first season episodes are still up on the teams site. (Claude Julien steals the show.)

Earlier today the team unveiled the trailer for Season 2...



So basically Season 2 is going to be even better - if that's possible. There's so much that's right with this video. Johnny Boychuk rocking the goggles from Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog. Loui Eriksson's face watching the Bear carrying a sheep through the locker room. (Although in fairness to Eriksson he really only has one face. I'm not lying look at how far down you have to go to actually see him smile.) Or perhaps Brad Marchand throwing out a sac tap that would make Ashley Schaeffer jealous.

Check it out and let us know what you think. And don't forget to tune back in when the second season begins on December...ish.

Is It October 11th Yet? Johnny Boychuk

Look, I understand there are a million different things going on over the NHL's new CBA set to expire September 15th, but do we really want to get into that?

All you need to know is this: the owner's want more control and more money whereas the players want a different revenue-sharing system and they just want to play hockey.  Same old song and dance.  If a deal is not reached by September 15th, the owners are planning on locking the players out.  

"The industry's grown a billion dollars since (the 04-05 lockout) and basically they just want more money," Canadiens defenseman Chris Campoli said Thursday.

Let's just all keep our fingers crossed and pray to the hockey gods there will be a full NHL season.  If we can all do that, then I'll provide awesome hockey videos like this Johnny Boychuk hit every few days.
