Jelinski named captain; dressing room photos

It was a big day on the news front for the Bruins as they named their next captain and also showed off the new dressing room.

Josh Jelinski will wear the C, with Dom Perrault, Matt Dochylo and Derek Whitehill getting the As.

I like the decision to pick Jelinski. He's shown a lot of leadership during the early part of the season and a lot of that is his on-ice play. He's a hard worker and has fired up his teammates with his physical play on a few occasions.

The fact that he's wearing the C as a 19-year-old is an extra honour but he'll have support from three 20-year-olds also wearing letters.

As for the dressing room, wow. I had seen it about a month ago when it was far from done, and I was blown away then, but to see the finished product is something else. This was a labour of love for Gerry Aspen and you can tell with all the little personal touches like spotlights above the stalls, pucks beside the nameplates, carved Bruins logos in every drawer below the stalls.

The players got their first look at it and they were blown away.

Here are a few photos of the room.
