If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 5

By ⋅ November 10, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Another week down, and the standings are starting to get shaken up. Even the Bruins are improving, though there’s still a long way to go to solidify a shot at a seed. So far, only the Stars have a multiple-game lead in their division. And for that matter, only the Blue Jackets are dead in [...]

Bruins Den: Out of Hibernation, Into a Winning Streak

By ⋅ November 7, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Well, well, well… what a week for the Bruins! It seems like Halloween spooked some offense into the B’s, who are now riding their first winning streak of the season as they begin a five-game homestand. With some of the best and worst teams of the league about to visit Boston, the conference-worst (second to [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 4

By ⋅ November 3, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

We’re now a month into the hockey season, and the defending champs continue to disappoint. Toronto, Ottawa, Florida and Edmonton are all just a few examples of surprising teams early on. It’s still fairly crowded as far as playoff contenders go, though a few teams seem to be fading already. There’s still plenty of time [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 3

By ⋅ October 27, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Another week into the season and we’re getting an early sense of who might pull ahead later, though it is still close. Every team now has at least one win, and Washington is the only perfect team left (the only one without any sort of loss, even). There continue to be several surprising teams, both [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 2

By ⋅ October 20, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Another week has gone by, and more surprising teams are poking their heads in the race. While every has at least a point, only two remain perfect. Already, all but eight teams have been involved in shootouts. It’s been a rough start for both participants in last year’s Stanley Cup Finals. That means the field [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 1

By ⋅ October 13, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The NHL season is underway. Boston has begun their title defense, and Winnipeg has ushered in their new team. And Philly and Pittsburgh have picked up where they left off last season, accumulating large amounts of points and leaving the rest of the Atlantic Division in their wake. Vancouver has been active, but doesn’t quite [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 26

By ⋅ April 6, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

After a long season, the playoff bracket will be set Sunday night, quite possibly in the final game between Dallas in Minnesota. Even with half a week to go, only the three Western divisions have been clinched; no other Western slot has been clinched. Buffalo and New York are still hanging onto their spots, but [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 25

By ⋅ March 30, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s almost time for the playoffs, and five of the spots have been locked up so far. But only Vancouver has clinched a division, and they’ve even clinched their conference, and their magic number is down to four points to clinch the President’s Trophy. It’s still pretty packed out West otherwise, though Chicago and the [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 24

By ⋅ March 23, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

No more than ten games remain for anyone, yet only three playoff spots have been officially wrapped up, and only one of those a division. The excitement continues to be in the middle of the West’s pack, where three points separate #5 from #10. A maximum of three points separate any playoff team from the [...]

Sabres Outlast Bruins in OT, 4-3

By ⋅ March 11, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

With all that’s going on off the ice in Bruinsland, it was hard to bring our focus back to the on-ice affairs of the team. Last night, the team’s focus seemed to be elsewhere also, as the B’s fell to the surging Buffalo Sabres, 4-3 in overtime, at the TD Garden. The B’s jumped out [...]

Ice Breakers: Bruins-Sabres, Thursday March 10th

By ⋅ March 10, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

With so much Bruins (38-20-8) news happening off the ice over the last 48 hours or so, it’s hard to remember that the team still has plenty of work left to do on the ice, including tonight, when the B’s host the Buffalo Sabres (32-26-8) at TD Garden. So obviously, the focus since Tuesday night’s [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 22

By ⋅ March 9, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Only one month remains in the season, and there’s still a lot to be hashed out. The Devils are still making an improbable run. Five points separates #4 from #11 out west. Even the Flyers aren’t safe, with Boston and now Washington right behind them. One of the few sure things right now appears to [...]

Ryan Miller’s 38 Saves Lead Sabres Past Bruins, 4-2

By ⋅ January 21, 2011 ⋅ One comment

The Bruins fell to a hungrier, more desperate Buffalo Sabres team Thursday night, failing to protect two separate one-goal leads and eventually losing to their division rival, 4-2 at the Garden. Boston’s energy and effort was flat for much of the contest, especially down the stretch. They opened up the scoring midway through the first [...]

Ice Breakers: Bruins-Sabres, Thursday January 20th

By ⋅ January 20, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Game number 47 of the season for the Bruins (26-13-7) kicks off tonight at TD Garden, when the B’s host a divisional foe, the Buffalo Sabres (20-20-5). These two teams have split the season series so far this year, with each team prevailing twice over the other through four meetings. The teams got 2011 off [...]

Bruins Drop Wild One in Shootout

By ⋅ January 1, 2011 ⋅ 4 comments

In a game that went back and forth more than Hamlet deciding whether or not to be, the Buffalo Sabres emerged with a 7-6, shootout win. In a battle of futility between some of the (supposedly) best goaltenders in the NHL, nobody could play defense very well, or at all. Andrew Ference started the scoring [...]
