The Super Series, which commences on Monday, pits the best youngsters the provinces have to offer against the best under-20 skaters from Russia.

There are three Black & Gold prospects on Team Canada, including Lucic, Zach Hamill and Brad Marchand.

On the other side, Yuri Alexandrov will man the blue line for Russia.

Bruins fans should be pretty excited about this development. I certainly am. Anyone who met Milan at Bruins Development Camp is not suprised by this announcement as his personality lends itself to leadership.

Coupled with his hockey skills and imposing on-ice presence and you have the whole package, hockey wise. Hockey Canada has made a very wise choice.

Again, best of luck to all four Bruins prospects in the upcoming series and a sincere congratulations to Milan.

The Canadian junior hockey team has opened its eight-game Super Series against Russia with a win.

Brad Marchand of the QMJHL's Val d'Or Foreurs and Sam Gagner of the OHL's London Knights each scored and had an assist to lift Canada to a 4-2 win over the Russian squad.

Kyle Turris, who will play at the University of Wisconsin this season, added a goal on a penalty shot while Stefan Legein of the OHL's Niagara IceDogs opened the scoring for the Canadians.

Ilya Kablukov and Alexander Ryabev gave Russia a 2-0 lead with first-period goals.

Canada's penalty-killing unit was busy. It killed off 11 Russian power plays, including two two-man advantages. Canada was 0-for-5 on the power play.

The next game is Wednesday in Ufa.

The final four games of the event, which commemorates the 1972 Summit Series, will be staged in Canada.

[boston rocks]

we need to build our system a little bit more

[ivan07]

I think our System is pretty Solid..

Krejci,Lashoff,Sobotka,Mcqaid,Rask,Hunwick,Marchan d...Soderberg.

[boston rocks]

Andrew Bodnarchuk
grade-6.5-C
defensemen
Acquired: 5th round (#128 overall), 2006

Future
Bodnarchuk’s size could be a liability at the next level, and he will have to work hard when he gets an opportunity, but he has the talent and the two-way ability to be a good second-pairing defenseman with plenty of power play time. He will be an integral part of Halifax’s blue line next season.

I would say the Bruins are pretty well off for the future. You might at well throw Phil Kessel, Patrice Bergeron and Petteri Nokelainen.

according to hockey futures.com, were the 9th ranked system in the NHL.

the only players in the top 50 prospects are krejci (21) and rask (8)
