Mailbag time! So today we have three questions sent in to us by some readers. Let's give it a go.

Who is your favorite Boston Bruins' player of all time?
Amy L; Dallas, TX

The obligatory answer is Bobby Orr, but let's be honest, I wasn't a glimmer in my father's eye when Orr wore the black and gold. Obiligator answer #2 would be Cam Neely, since he played when I began watching hockey and was amazing. Honestly though, my favorite player was the first Bruins jersey I ever owned, Adam Oates.

To me, Adam Oates was everything that resembled hockey. The guy could skate well, was a great passer and also put the biscuit in the basket. Oates played with the Bruins from 1991 to the middle of the 1996-1997 season where he was sadly traded to the Washington Capitals for Jim Carey, Anson Carter and Jason Allison. Altogether, Oates massed 142 goals, 357 assists and 499 points with Boston while playing 368 games for the Bruins.

Another reason why I loved Adam Oates in a black and gold uniform? He was a BEAST in NHL 94 and NHL 95.

 

 

playoffs!?

Do the Bruins have a shot at the playoffs?
- Jason; Salem, NH

Do the Bruins have a shot at the playoffs? Absolutely. If the season ended today, the team would be in the playoffs as the 8th seed and would unfortunately have to face the Alexander Ovechkins (Washington Capitals). Do I think they'll make it into the playoffs? I'm going to go out on a limb and say no. The Bruins have a tough road ahead which includes Atlanta, two games with the Ovechkins, Buffalo and New Jersey. In the 11 games that are left, most of them are against team fighting for a playoff spot. I just don't think this team has the juice. I hope I'm wrong of course.

MAG

Favorite Playstation 3 game?
- Sarah; Kansas City, KS

Tough call. I don't have a very big library of games, in fact I believe I have less than 10 of them. Right now it is a toss up between MLB: The Show 10 and MAG, but I'll give the nod to MAG. I'm a big fan of shooters and I'm a big fan of teamwork-style games. I also like that there aren't any killstreaks like in Modern Warefare 2.

Add to the fact that 256 players can play at one time with little to no lag and FREE DLC? Sign me up.
