Good things come to those who wait. The Boston Bruins waited five games to get back Brad Marchand. They waited two games to get back Rich Peverley. And they waited 63 minutes Thursday night before finally solving the New Jersey Devils’ stout defense and even more stout goalie, Martin Brodeur. Once the waiting period ended, [...]
January is almost over, and every team has passed the halfway point of the season. Teams are still jostling positions and just about every race is very close. New teams are making playoff waves, further adding to the excitement of the times. Anything could still happen, so let’s look at what would happen if the [...]
Brad Marchand has missed the last five games due to a suspension he received from the league for ducking a check against the Canucks. In those five games, the Bruins took six out of a possible ten points. The power play struggled during Marchand’s suspension, with the team going only 2-15 with Marchand in the [...]
The 2012 All-Star game will be held in Ottawa on Jan. 29. The fantasy draft, meanwhile, will be held on the 26th. Zdeno Chara and home town hero Daniel Alfredsson will be selecting the teams. Last season, we saw Eric Staal and Niklas Lidstrom have some fun with it making teammates sweat it out. It will [...]
The Bruins (29-13-1) were looking to follow up their shootout win on Monday night as they visited the slumping Lightning. Unfortunately a lack of defensive effort across the table instead led them to an awful 5-3 loss to Tampa Bay, who had been losers of seven consecutive games. The smallest of bright spots in the [...]
The Bruins took down the Panthers in the shootout 3-2 and are now 5-0-1 when playing more than 60 minutes. Patrice Bergeron had himself a night with two goals in regulation, he added a goal in the shoot out but it does not count for the hat trick. Tuukka Rask made big saves at big times helping the Bruins avoid a [...]
The Bruins lost a tough game to the Hurricanes in Carolina 4-2 on Saturday night. Carolina responded to goals by Boston twice and added an empty net goal to seal the deal. The Hurricanes are having a down season, but were ready to play and were helped further by sloppy play by the Bruins. Two Bruins giveaways [...]
Now that his suspension is drawing to a close soon, Brad Marchand has left Twitter just as quickly as he joined it. Hat tip to Days of Y’Orr for capturing a screenshot of Marchand’s final Tweet (for now): Yep, because he’s a bawss.
For the first time, a Boston sports team will be visiting the White House during the Obama administration. All three Patriots champs, the two Red Sox champs, and the ’08 Celtics all visited the White House during George W. Bush’s eight years in office. Now, the Stanley Cup Champion Boston Bruins will be honored by [...]
Brad Marchand is still serving his five-game suspension, so he has some time on his hands. The B’s winger took time to set up his Twitter account. Follow him: @Bmarch63
For the first time in recent memory, the Bruins and Canadiens played a meaningless game. Why? Well, simply put, the Canadiens suck this season. Montreal is 12th in the Eastern Conference and has a losing record. They entered the game 16 (!!!) points behind the Bruins in the East. Things are so bad, they traded [...]
“I can’t accept that we will display a losing attitude as we’re doing this year…We prepare for our games like losers. We play like losers. So it’s no wonder why we lose.” With those words earlier in the week, Michael Cammalleri really sealed his fate. After playing the first two periods of Thursday night’s game [...]
One of the best teams in the NHL, the Bruins, will be well-represented at the NHL All-Star Game in February. Joining goalie Tim Thomas, who is set to start in net, will be forward Tyler Seguin and defenseman Zdeno Chara. In just his second season, Seguin leads the B’s with 17 goals and 38 points [...]
We’re already well into the new year, and it’s about the half-way point for the NHL season, too. The Rangers are continuing to make progress. The Penguins are continuing to do the opposite. It’s still very close between #8/#9 in both conferences as well, which will make for some heated battles down the stretch. There [...]
The Bruins came into their Tuesday night game with the Winnipeg Jets (20-16-5) looking to get back into the win column after a rough game and loss to the rival Vancouver Canucks on Saturday evening. They were without Brad Marchand, who received a controversial and highly publicized 5-game suspension for his hit on Sami Salo. [...]
