By ⋅ November 15, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

October was a weird month. A snowstorm ravaged the Northeast at the end of the month. The Red Sox somehow weren’t in the playoffs. The Stanley Cup Champion Boston Bruins started the season 3-7-0. Then, the calendar turned to November. OK, it’s still a weird month. Temperatures are unseasonably warm. The Red Sox lost Jonathan [...]

By ⋅ November 12, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Boston just can’t be beaten lately. Not even close. On Saturday, their next victim was Buffalo. The Sabres lost 6-2, in a rough showing. It didn’t start that way, though.

Loss to Habs Drops Bruins to Bottom of Eastern Conference

By ⋅ October 28, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Let’s face it: the Bruins have received a pass so far this season. The Red Sox collapsed, drank beer, ate fried chicken, and were the talk of the town for weeks after the season. The Patriots, meanwhile, started 5-1 and appear destined for the playoffs. But, the Sox talk has subsided and the Pats are [...]

A Day Later: New-Look Flyers Spoil Bruins’ Banner-Raising Ceremony

By ⋅ October 7, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The Flyers were swept out of the playoffs by the eventual Stanley Cup Champion Bruins last season, and that had to leave a bitter taste in their mouths.

What a tough summer it has been for the Boston Bruins. “What victory party do I have to go to tonight?” “Where do I have to tote this heavy Stanley Cup to today?” “How many thousands of adoring fans am I going to have to shmooze with this time?” The trials and tribulations of a [...]

Bruins’ Investment in Rookies Seguin & Marchand Pays Dividends in Stanley Cup Run

By ⋅ June 18, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

When Bruins fans speak years from now of the 2011 Stanley Cup, they will tell stories of a champion team of veterans. Their voices will rise in pitch when they speak of 34-year-old Zdeno Chara, who anchored a defense that neutralized the supposedly unstoppable Canucks offense. They will giggle as they mention how Mark Recchi [...]

By ⋅ June 14, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Lord Stanley’s Cup came to Boston, and all the Vancouver Canucks needed to do to win it Monday night at the Garden was play the same punishing offense and fantastic goal-tending that had won them Game 5 last Friday.

By ⋅ June 2, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

It was a classic goalie battle Wednesday night as the Stanley Cup finals began at Rogers Arena in Vancouver. No Canuck could get past Tim Thomas, but neither could any Bruin get past Robert Luongo. Both were impenetrable walls, denying any and every shot. Sticks, skates, helmets, gloves, whatever it took to block the puck. [...]
