Video: David Krejci’s Hat Trick Gets Bruins Past Devils

By KC Downey ⋅ March 2, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

I know, you’ve heard this stat ad nauseum: the Bruins were 5-8 in the month of February and were shut out in FIVE of those losses. Simply put, the top three lines needed to perform better. You need to put the puck in the back of the net to win hockey games. Obviously. David Krejci [...]

Bruins Survive Late Meltdown to Down Senators

By John ⋅ February 25, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

It was a tough start and finish for Boston, but they had enough meat in the middle to finish off the win in Ottawa, 5-3. Boston did get one chance with immediate pressure, but did nothing with it except give up pressure themselves. Erik Karlsson took advantage, surprising Tim Thomas just 1:10 into the game. [...]

By KC Downey ⋅ February 15, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

This from the not-so-big-surprise department: Brad Marchand was drunk for the entire summer. How drunk was he?

They even racked up a bill of more than [...]

Bruins Turn Predators Into Prey in Saturday Matinee

By John ⋅ February 11, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Bruins had to hold their breath late into another game on their shaky stretch, but in the end, they got the job done against Nashville, 4-3, in a shootout.

By KC Downey ⋅ January 24, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Tim Thomas was first off the ice at practice Tuesday, which usually indicates he would start in net that night. He did not.

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

By KC Downey ⋅ 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 [...]
