The Bruins (20-11-5) will ring in the new year with their fourth stop on their current five-game road trip, going up against a divisional rival, the Buffalo Sabres (15-18-4) tonight. Boston finished up a reasonably successful month of December with an 8-3-3 record, wrapping up the year Thursday with a 3-2 shootout loss to Atlanta. [...]
The Boston Bruins took the lead twice in Wednesday night’s matchup against the Buffalo Sabres, but Buffalo’s Drew Stafford scored a natural hat trick to secure the Sabres’ 3-2 win over the Bruins on Wednesday night. Boston scored first with a goal from David Krejci, who went to the net as Dennis Seidenberg took a [...]
It’s a big week for the Black & Gold, as the Bruins (16-8-4) aim to climb the Eastern Conference standings, beginning tonight with a trip to Buffalo to take on the Sabres (12-14-4). The B’s face a busy stretch of their schedule in the next week or so, with four games in the next six [...]
Boston Bruins’ defenseman Mark Stuart will miss four to six weeks with a broken fourth metacarpal joint in his right ring finger. Stuart suffered the injury during Tuesday night‘s contest against Buffalo. Stuart was examined by Dr. Matt Leibman at Newton Wellesley Hospital, and the diagnosis was confirmed by GM Peter Chiarelli. In the meantime, [...]
Opening up a three-game homestand, the Bruins (14-8-3) will host division rivals, the Buffalo Sabres (11-13-3) on Causeway Street this evening. The B’s were left with a very sour taste in their mouths Saturday, after what was mostly a very good week for the team. After big wins over the Flyers and Lightning, the team [...]
It wasn’t the best defensive stand, but with Ryan Miller out with lower body issues, the Bruins sprung out like a trap door spider to claim a 5-2 victory in Buffalo. Boston wasted no time going to work on the power play. The only thing was, it was Buffalo’s power play. With Michael Ryder in [...]
The Bruins (6-2-0) get back to action Wednesday, heading to HSBC Arena in upstate New York to take on division rivals, the Buffalo Sabres (3-7-2). Buffalo is a mess right now, plain and simple. They return home Wednesday after a 1-2-1 road trip, which wrapped up Saturday with a 4-0 whooping in Dallas. Only the [...]
Isn’t the first week great? It’s the only time of a year that we get to see things like the Maple Leafs as the best team in the league. And it’s the one time of the year when Marty Brodeur is still working out the kinks, and the Bruins, just like the rest of the [...]
The puck drops on yet another NHL hockey season this week, and with so much anticipation and expectation building about our local Bruins team, it felt like quite the long summer having to wait it out before the B’s get their chance at erasing the painfully embarrassing playoff exit last spring. Boston has retooled their [...]
Just a month ago in early March, the Bruins were a team that seemed dead in the water and a certain victim of a first round playoff sweep…if they even made it that far. The team had just lost Marc Savard to a supposed season-ending concussion and initially failed to fight back in his honor. After a [...]
The Bruins will make their second attempt at ousting the Buffalo Sabres, as they host Game 6 of their opening round playoff series at TD Garden tonight. Boston got some welcome news Saturday from the league offices, as they rescinded captain Zdeno Chara’s instigator penalty that he was given at the end of Friday’s 4-1 [...]
Sabre Adam Mair scored on the team’s first shot on Friday night in Game 5 against the Bruins. OK, no problem. The Sabres have scored first in every game this series, and the Bruins carried a commanding 3-1 series lead. 1-0? Big deal. Then, the Sabres scored just before the end of the first period [...]
I know I am only here to preview the Bruins-Sabres Game 5 tonight, but before I begin, I’ve got to say that in the history of the collective Boston sports world, has there ever been as big a night as tonight is shaping up to be? I mean sure, any time the Pats are in [...]
Now that, my friends, was entertaining playoff hockey! It doesn’t get much better than Wednesday night’s Game 4 at the Garden, it just doesn’t. The nail-biting, edge-of-your-seat, back-and-forth play by both the Sabres and Bruins had casual fans riveted, had die hard fans exhilerated, and I think had Jack Edwards dangerously close to having a [...]
The Bruins will look to take a commanding 3-1 advantage in their opening round series against the Sabres tonight, hosting Buffalo at TD Garden for Game 4. Boston will aim at building from their huge Game 3 win, when with the help of a late Patrice Bergeron goal, the B’s took their first lead of [...]
