The Bruins surprised fans by arriving on Yawkey Way and Van Ness St. wearing 1915-era Red Sox threads to celebrate the club's third World Series title, led by captain Patrice Bergeron. Several players were seen holding bats, gloves, and even enjoyed a game of catch on the track, where an ice rink had already been constructed in preparation for the Winter Classic on Monday.

Bruins President Cam Neely said Monday that Mitchell Miller's internal vetting process had 'dropped the ball,' resulting in the team's decision to rescind its contract offer to the defenseman.

On Friday, Boston signed Miller to an entry-level deal, sparking widespread criticism from Bruins players Patrice Bergeron and others, as well as Boston's fanbase. Miller will not be eligible to play in the league without significant reforms, according to NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman. 'I'm really sad that we've sparked a lot of people dissatisfied with our decision,' Neely wrote. I take pride in the Bruins organization and what we stand for.' We failed there,' he says.'

In late May, Marchand, 34, underwent hip osteometry and labral surgery on both of his hips, and the Bruins estimated his recovery time was six months.
