The Boston Bruins defense was once again one of the best in the NHL, as the team finished with the highest team goal differential at plus 67 over 82 games. It starts and ends with the captain Zdeno Chara, who had a stellar season and should have brought home some hardware, but the young phenom from Ottawa [...]

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…

Bruins Finally Win Again

By ⋅ March 17, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The horrid losing streak is finally over thanks to a 3-2 shootout victory over Philadelphia, but Philly still nearly pulled out an impressive victory. And with Boston so used to giving up the first two goals lately, it was refreshing to actually see Boston get on the board first for a change, thanks to Chris [...]

Ward’s Shutout Gives Hurricanes First Season Sweep Over Bruins

By ⋅ February 2, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Boston Bruins did just about everything they could against the Carolina Hurricanes Thursday night at the TD Garden. They won over 70 percent of their face-offs. They hit hard and often. And they ripped shot after shot after shot at goalie Cam Ward. They just couldn’t score. Ward saved all 47 shots against him [...]

Bruins’ Fourth Line Carries Team Past Devils

By ⋅ January 19, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

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.

Bruins Get Lucky, Hold Off Canadiens For 2-1 Win

By ⋅ January 13, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

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 [...]

Bruins Smother Flames With Nine Goals, Twelve Point-Scoring Players

By ⋅ January 5, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

As a young boy, I played on a recreation-league soccer team in Brookline, Mass. We weren’t very good, but I liked the team’s name: the Flames. I’m pretty sure we could’ve given the Boston Bruins a better game than the Calgary Flames gave them Thursday night at TD Garden. Patrice Bergeron and Nathan Horton each [...]
