The Bruins (22-9-1) came into action on Monday night as hot as ever after a dominating 6-0 win last time out in Philadelphia. They turned their attention to their longtime rivals, the Montreal Canadiens (13-14-7)who have had a rough season and were in need of a change. That came in the form of the firing [...]
Tuukka Rask recorded the shutout for the Bruins Tuesday night. So, of course, Tim Thomas had to stand on his head the following night to prove he still deserves to be the starting goaltender. Thomas finished with a season-high 47 saves, including 21 saves alone in the third period, to lead the Bruins to a [...]
It took a while to get on track in this game and the past few games, but the Boston Bruins finally started a new winning streak in Columbus, taking the win 5-3. Starting the game, it looked like Boston’s losing streak would be pushed to three games; just 5:46 in, the Blue Jackets took the [...]
When you’re winning, everyone contributes. The same has held true for the Bruins over the last 15 games, over which the Bruins have an amazing 14-0-1 record, with the latest triumph coming Monday night over the East-leading Pittsburgh Penguins. For many of the team’s wins through the points streak, the B’s have received big efforts [...]
The last time the Bruins had a regulation loss (back on Oct. 29), the Red Sox were without a manager, Julian Edelman hadn’t been arrested yet, and the NBA was still in a lockout with no end in sight. That trend continued Saturday night, with the Bruins taking down the Maple Leafs for the fourth [...]
I know this is old…but with last week being a holiday weekend, I’m not sure this got as much play as it should have over the local airwaves and online. But, during the Thanksgiving special last week in New York, NBC’s “Today Show” host Matt Lauer was teasing last week’s Bruins-Red Wings game. Whether it [...]
Toronto came into the night riding a three game winning streak and had a one point lead over the Bruins, but Boston was too much for the Leafs and came away with a 6-3 win. Boston had control of the puck for most of the early portion of the first period until Rich Pervely went [...]
Winnipeg made some early noise, but in the end, Boston came roaring back to defeat the Winnipeg Jets 4-2. Tim Thomas made a great 5-hole save early on during the first Winnipeg power play on a tough shot, but the Jets later came roaring through the neutral zone before Boston knew what hit them, resulting [...]
The Detroit Red Wings (13-7-1, 27 pts) defeated the Bruins (13-7-1, 27 pts) on Friday afternoon, topping a red-hot Boston club 3-2 in a shootout to end the B’s ten-game winning streak at the TD Garden in Boston, Mass. The contest was well played throughout the entire match, with several minutes of continuous play, precision skill, focused [...]
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 [...]
There is no doubt that Milan Lucic’s hit (yes, it was a hit, not a collision) on Buffalo Sabres and Team USA goaltender was stupid, dangerous, avoidable and a suspendable penalty (and not just because Miller is a goalie). However, despite Miller’s resulting concussion, Lucic was not suspended Monday after speaking with league disciplinarian Brendan Shanahan, [...]
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. Boston had the majority of shots in the 1st, though it was Buffalo who struck first blood at 5:38 on a wrist shot from Thomas [...]
The Bruins are on a roll, finally. So is Tuukka Rask. On the heels of the first two-game win streak of the season, the B’s played host to the New York Islanders on Monday night, and continued finding the back of the net in a 6-2 win. Rask earned his first win of the season [...]
Perpetually on the IR, Bruins center Marc Savard must have a lot of time on his hands as he recovers from a second severe concussion sustained last season. He is now on Twitter! Actually, he’s been on for a while, but his account was officially verified on Monday. Follow him: @MSavvy91
There’s something about Phil Kessel and the Toronto Maple Leafs that brings the best out of the Bruins, even if they got off to an early-season funk. The Maple Leafs lead the Northeast, and the Bruins are the cellar-dwellers, but that doesn’t seem to matter when the two teams take the ice. Behind the first [...]
