The Bruins have been holding informal skates in the Boston area, and Fluto Shinzawa of the Boston Globe is blogging from the seats.
Some interesting tidbits: So far Phil Kessel is impressing, while Zdeno Chara seems to be stepping up as a leader during these informal workouts (for more thoughts on Chara, stop by James Mirtle's place).
But one player whose name you may be hearing down the line is Latvia Martins Karsums. Shinzawa says he projects to be one of the fastest skaters in camp, and comes highly reccomended after spending last season in Moncton in the QMJHL under new Islanders head coach Ted Nolan.
