B's Begin Informal Practices

While training camp is still a couple of weeks away, the Bruins have started to come together as a group for informal practices in Wilmington. Attendance isn't mandatory, but a number of B's have already shown up and skated, including Steve Begin, Marco Sturm, David Krecji and Tuukka Rask.

The Globe's Bruins Blog has had running coverage of the event, including a piece stating that Krecji may be ready to play by October 1st. He is still unable to skate full-tilt, and may not be by the start of training camp, but isn't ruling out being ready for the opener and hopes to be back in action at some point in October.

Other tidbits from the Globe:

• Steve Begin is wearing number 27, most recently worn by Peter Schaefer and Glen Murray. Bad karma for the former Hab?
• Marco Sturm is skating without limitation and feeling good.

All practices the rest of the week are open to the public and begin at 11:30 AM.
