Normally, I’m all for team bonding experiences, but maybe Andrew Ference and Zdeno Chara took it one step further during their day off on Wednesday. The two visited the National Geographic’s new Titanic exhibit…
After two overtime thrillers began the first round series between the Boston Bruins and Washington Capitals, Game 3 followed suit with an exciting finish. But this one finished in regulation thanks to a big shot by Zdeno Chara that gave the Bruins a 4-3 win and a 2-1 lead in the series. With under two [...]
Remember when Tim Thomas skipped the team’s visit to the White House? Well, that got some Washington Capitals fans thinking… Hell bent on figuring out how to score on Thomas, Washington fans have resorted to the ridiculous. But, hey, you have to admire their creativity. Caps fans are encouraged to wear Barack Obama masks:
When the Capitals two goaltenders Tomas Vokoun and Michal Neuvirth went down late in the season with injuries, most people thought the playoffs were practically over for them. Well, that hasn’t been the case, as 22-year-old Brandon Holtby has been as good as his predecessors, if not better. He stood on his head in Game [...]
Remember last year’s ridiculously awesome playoff jacket? After each playoff win, the Bruin who played a big role in the victory that night would wear the jacket during post-game interviews. It was used as a symbol of team unity. This year, the team has turned to a Mr. T chain-link necklace.
In last year’s playoff run, the Bruins were 1-3 in Game 1′s. So, Thursday night’s playoff opener was anything but a guarantee for the Bruins against the 7th-seeded Capitals. Then, when the Bruins were unable to get any goals by young Caps goalie Braden Holtby in regulation, you had to wonder if they’d ever score. [...]
The playoffs are here at last, and it’s time to see if the Bruins have what it takes to repeat in a year with several strong rivals. And for the occasion, we here at Sports of Boston have brought you a panel of our experts to give their thoughts on how everything will turn out. [...]
With the NHL season over and the playoffs upon us, it’s time to announce the results for the Regular Season Pick ‘Em. Except for the Bruins and Canucks, everyone was largely surprised. The Rangers, Panthers, Blues and Coyotes were all surprise division winners, to go with a few other dark horses. Picking seeding was also [...]
It seems “The Bear & the Gang,” an 80s-style sitcom promo the Bruins released in March, has become quite popular. So popular, in fact, that the Bruins have released two new episodes!
It was a statistically meaningless game, but that didn’t stop the Bruins from pulling out the stops, especially late, to build up some needed momentum going into the postseason. Everything started out so close; in fact each team had 12 shots in a scoreless 1st period. Boston started to pick things up later on, especially [...]
Growing a playoff beard? That’s cool. Growing a beard for charity? Super cool. The Bruins Ice Girls? Hot. Combine it all? Kinda creepy:
In his first start as a Bruin, Anton Khudobin was brilliant with 44 saves on 45 shots. Khudobin’s first NHL start since January 18th 2011 makes you wonder why the B’s wasted money on signing a guy like Marty Turco. The Bruins opened up the game scoring their first goal at 10:36 of the first [...]
With the Boston Bruins locked into the number two spot in the East, the game Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Penguins should have had no meaning. In a 5-3 loss, the Bruins may have lost more than the game. Johnny Boychuck was on the wrong side of a knee-on-knee collision with Aaron Asham midway through the third [...]
It was clearly a playoff atmosphere Sunday night at Madison Square Garden as the Boston Bruins beat the New York Rangers for the first time this season, winning 2-1. Tim Thomas stole the show with 33 saves, as the veteran goalie has really turned his game around at the right time. Patrice Bergeron got it [...]
Marty Turco didn’t have all that much work in the Bruins 6-3 win over the Islanders, stopping 19 out of 22 shots. Turco did stand tall at points in the game, making point-blank saves on multiple opportunities. That’s pretty much all you need from a backup goaltender, as he put his team in a position [...]
