That’s right, folks: everybody’s favorite month is back!

While I’d really love to beat that dead horse again and do a whole month of Peter Cehlarik content, I don’t think you fine readers would be on board, so we’ll leave that alone.

(If you weren’t around for the Cehptember days and me being the biggest Cehlarik cheerleader on the planet, consider yourself lucky.)

With the calendar officially turned to September, the start of a new Bruins season feels that much closer.

They-don’t-have-a-captains’ practices will begin today at Warrior Arena, with various Bruins gathering without any adult supervision.

Late next week, the Bruins youths will be in action in Buffalo’s Prospects Challenge tournament, which is always one of those “OK, the new season is almost here” signs.

After that, things will get underway in earnest, and soon enough we’ll all be yelling at one another about Tanner Jeannot, the power play, and who knows what else. GET PUMPED.

I hope to kick off some review/preview content starting tomorrow, though some of that will depend on real-world bandwidth and other factors; please bear with us as we get back up to speed around these parts.

And that’s about it! You’ve almost made it through the longest Bruins offseason in several years.

What’s on tap for today?
