First Place Rangers Distance Themselves From Bruins With 4-3 Win

By ⋅ March 4, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Bruins fell to the Rangers 4-3 in a Sunday matinée in New York. Once again the Bruins out shot their opponents by a significant number and come up short. Henrik Lundqvist played some of his best hockey against the Bruins, with 30 saves this afternoon helping the Rangers to a victory. Tim Thomas wasn’t [...]

Thomas Relieves Injured Rask, Falters Against Islanders

By ⋅ March 3, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Boston Bruins have needed no one’s help to play lazy, lackadaisical, .500 hockey since mid-January. But Saturday afternoon against the New York Islanders, they got a little help from the referees. A possibly uncalled icing penalty late in the third led to a tie-breaking goal by center John Tavares, and Evgeni Nabokov saved 32 [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 21

By ⋅ March 1, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

March is here, and the season is really starting to wind down. It’s still very close in both conferences nearly all around. Only the Rangers are capable of cruising down the stretch East-wise, but even that won’t happen with the President’s Trophy being hotly contested as well. Four divisions are still tightly up for grabs [...]

Bruins Shut Out at Home, 1-0 to the Senators

By ⋅ February 28, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Senators came into Boston and shut the Bruins out 1-0. Erik Karlsson scored the only goal of the game on the power play in the first period. The Bruins had 32 shots on goal, but once again struggled to put goals on the board. The power play unit went 0-4, including a last chance in [...]

Bruins Take One Point in Shootout Loss to Sabres

By ⋅ February 25, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Bruins dropped one in the shootout, 2-1 in Buffalo on Friday night. It was not exactly the nasty game that people were expecting, but it was a great game between two teams that dont like each other. There wasn’t much action in the early on until Buffalo put one on the board in the [...]

Bruins Interested in Trading for Dustin Brown?

By ⋅ February 24, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

With the NHL trade deadline only a few days away, reports from TSN’s Bob McKenzie say that the Bruins are one of several teams that have a high interest level in Kings forward Dustin Brown. Brown is 27 years old and wears the “C” for the Kings. He plays right wing, and that is the [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 20

By ⋅ February 23, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

A full 20 weeks into the season, and the standings are still bunched up, Rangers aside. Divisions are tight, #8 seeds are tight and the President’s Trophy is tight (the only close race involving the Rangers). So much could change in the blink of an eye, let alone the remaining 20+ games, so let’s look [...]

Bruins Bring Offense to St. Louis, Beat Blues 4-2

By ⋅ February 23, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Bruins beat the Blues 4-2 in regulation. Boston had an offensive explosion in the first period with three goals, but the Blues answered with two goals of their own in the first 20 minutes. Brad Marchand added a third period goal on a breakaway to seal the deal, his second goal of the game. [...]

Can the Baby B’s Help Out the Bruins?

By ⋅ February 22, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Last season’s cup run was amazing in many different ways for the Bruins. One way that was extremely over looked maybe until now was how healthy the Bruins were during the season and for the entire playoff run. Now with the club struggling to stay consistent and Nathan Horton out for who knows how long and Rich Peverley out [...]

Bruins Held Scoreless Against Wild for 2nd Straight Loss

By ⋅ February 19, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Bruins failed to score in a 2-0 loss to Minnesota. With Rich Peverley and Nathan Horton out with injuries, the offense struggled again. The Wild benefited from two second period goals and that was all they needed in this one. The Bruins are getting the chances (48 shots Sunday) but can’t find ways to [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 19

By ⋅ February 16, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

We’re well into February, and there’s certainly no shortage of drama. The Rangers are leaving the rest of the East in their dust, but the rest of the conference is dog piling over each other. It’s the same way out west, except no spot is safe there. New York is certainly the team to beat, [...]

Thomas Remains Perfect in Shootouts, Bruins beat Habs 4-3

By ⋅ February 15, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Bruins escaped Montreal with a shootout win 4-3. The Bruins took a 3-1 lead into the third period with goals from Andrew Ference, Benoit Pouliot and Patrice Bergeron, but later found themselves in a shootout. Sloppy play in the third period let the Habs back into the game, and nearly lost the game for [...]

What We Learned This Week: What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

By ⋅ February 13, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Week of 2/5 – 2/12/12 This was a week filled with curious and controversial decisions like Kevin Youkilis popping the question to Tom Brady’s sister, Rob Gronkowski partying like he’s on the Jersey Shore right after losing the Super Bowl, and Tom Brady’s wife publicly blaming the receivers for blowing the big game. What could go [...]

The End of the Boston Sports Renaissance

By ⋅ February 11, 2012 ⋅ One comment

With Super Bowl XVLI in the rearview window, it’s clear that the hype around this Super Bowl was not like many other championships. As much as we try to kid ourselves, they all basically follow the same repackaged story lines. Will so and so finally get that elusive ring? Can the whoevers bring glory back [...]

New Tim Thomas Facebook Comments Ignite New Firestorm

By ⋅ February 10, 2012 ⋅ 2 comments

In the middle of a not-so-great hockey streak by the Bruins, and only a couple of weeks away from the trade deadline, Tim Thomas and the media have had another misunderstanding. After the first Facebook episode, one would think Tim Thomas would stay away from posting things about sensitive topics on the internet where everyone can see it. [...]
