08:29 AM ET 02.03 | Heading into the weekend, the Bruins ship is a listless one, having gone 4-4-1 in their past nine. What these next three-plus weeks could decide is whether [Peter Chiarelli] wants to pare any of the current roster. And though that's always possible, it's not all that likely. ... It's more likely that Chiarelli keeps the group together and tries to add a guy like, say, Jaro Spacek, who had the second assist on [Eric Staal's] goal [Thursday] night. Or maybe he could make a play for ex-Bruin Hal Gill, currently employed by the Good Ship Hab to Nowhere. As one NHL scout noted last night, "Chara and Gill paired on the same PK unit? Now that's a scary thought."

I think Gill has lost a step since his playing days in Boston, but he can still reach half way across the ice...

Gill and Chara would look just as at home in Celtics' uniforms

They'd have to restrict commercial airline flights from around the arenas the Bruins are playing.

Hall Gill never really had a step to lose. He was a solid stay at home D-man though and at this point any warm body that could bump Joe "I shoulda been a career minor leaguer" Corvo from the line-up would be an immense improvement.

Rumor is that they are the only thing he ever hit in his career. Of course, in his defense she had a bigger dick than him ;)

Aside from the PK unit; what do you do with him??? I mean guys will be skating around him like he is a cone.

So, Boston will have two pylons on the blueline.

But it'd be so hard to watch other teams play, seeing as they never show them..

I think Gill improves the D zone and the PK, for sure.
hey now - Corvo would look great playing on the the 3rd line left wing :)

Hey, at least Corvo has one thing going for him, he's not as much of a bust as Kaberle was.
