Boston Bruins
In the 2007 off-season, the Bruins acquired Finnish professional goaltender Tuukka Rask on May 5, 2007. Rask had previously been the property of the Toronto Maple Leafs, but his NHL rights were acquired by the Bruins as a result of the deal that sent Andrew Raycroft to the Maple Leafs on June 24, 2006. New Boston Bruins home uniform shoulder patch logoAfter a very disappointing season where the Bruins played with little passion and the coaching staff showed very little themselves, a shakeup occurred. On June 15 Dave Lewis was fired along with Marc Habscheid (who devised the power play set up). Only Marc Habscheid is staying on with the organization but in different roles. Dave Lewis was hired to be an assistant Coach with the Los Angeles Kings. Peter Chiarelli has said that he didn't like the inconsistent play of the team which played a part in the firings. The Bruins officially announced, on June 21, 2007 that Claude Julien, who was fired late in the 2006-07 season from the New Jersey Devils, has been named as the new Bruins head coach. On August 1, 2007, the Bruins hired Craig Ramsay and Geoff Ward as assistant coaches. Current 2007-08 jerseysThe Bruins also unveiled a new logo basically using a serifed letter "B" for the first time since the 1935-36 NHL season, and a brand new shoulder patch, closely based on the main jersey logo used until the 1931-32 NHL season. The New England Hockey Journal's online website displayed the new home and away jersey's for the Bruins . Unlike the other NHL teams, the Bruins did not do radical changes from their previous designs, substituting the new logo, and adding an NHL logo just below the neck opening. On June 22, 2007, the NHL entry draft took place, which had been said as being 'not as deep' as previous years where many experts had said that none of the draft eligible players will be playing in the NHL next year, and that the players will need some development time. The Bruins had the 8th overall pick in the draft, and selected Zach Hamill of the Western Hockey League's Everett Silvertips in the first round. On August 8, 2007, the Bruins signed Hamill to an entry-level contract but will rejoin his junior team for the 2007-08 season. On September 18, 2007, the Johnstown Chiefs of the ECHL announced they had entered an affiliation agreement with the Bruins for the 07-08 season.
