![]() "It's really cool how they brought something like that because, you know, he's one of the greatest players of all-time." "When you think of Sidney Crosby, like the things he does with so many superstitions and everything, that washing machine is forever engrained," Heller said. Pittsburgh-area native Carly Heller appreciated the Penguins ties at an event hosted by the Boston Bruins. It’s not impossible but it feels like Orlov is going to be a luxury for them rather than a priority during an offseason where Don Sweeney and the Boston Bruins management group have a lot of work to do.Fans had the chance to test their accuracy by shooting pucks into a laundry machine, just like Pittsburgh Penguins captain Sidney Crosby infamously did as a child growing up in Nova Scotia. The guess here is that the Bruins won’t have the money for Orlov unless they deal an established defensemen like Matt Grzelcyk in the offseason to clear up adequate salary cap space. I’m going to talk to my agent, but how I see it is that if they traded me then I don’t think it’s going to work out. “I don’t know…we’ll see,” said Orlov, clearly amused when asked if Washington was an option. He also didn’t rule it out if the Capitals wanted him back, though Orlov won’t have lack of suitors if he gets to the free agent market. ![]() Interestingly, Orlov also seemed amused by the idea of returning to the Washington team where he played the first 686 games of his NHL career. It doesn’t matter if you’re twenty or forty years old. You have to have that feeling in your life. “I’ve been eleven years in this league, and I played in Russia as a grown-up and as a kid too. I said once in one interview when I got here, but I just enjoy hockey. It will be my last contract and I’m going to be 32 so we’ll see,” when Orlov was asked what’s going to factor in his future. That may eventually price him out of the picture in Boston where the Bruins already have Charlie McAvoy and Hampus Lindholm making big money, and Connor Clifton also a UFA that they need to make a decision on.įor his part, Orlov hadn’t made any decisions on next season, and it sounded like he’d be more than happy to come back to Boston if it ended up working out contractually. In all he finished with seven goals and a career-high 36 points between the B’s and Capitals this past season, and figures to be in line for a pretty good contract as an established top-4 defenseman. Orlov finished with four goals and 17 points in 23 games along with a plus-10 rating, and at times was more of a creative, offensive rover than he was expected to be after arriving in Boston. Orlov also came close to being the hero when his shot hit the bottom front of the crossbar in overtime of Game 7, but it wasn’t a bounce that was meant to go for the B’s in the eventual loss to the Panthers. I think it’s my opinion because they have a lot of the right people here. I think this team is going to be good for sure. I think we or they - I don’t know how it’s going to be, how my future is going to be. For this whole organization, it’s tough,” said Orlov. It’s a lot of things I could probably say for another ten minutes and say what I feel. We all want to still play right now, and it’s hard to understand how we’re here right now. “I’m thankful for the teammates in Boston, how they welcomed us.
