Bruins’ Fourth Line Carries Team Past Devils

By ⋅ January 19, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Good things come to those who wait. The Boston Bruins waited five games to get back Brad Marchand. They waited two games to get back Rich Peverley. And they waited 63 minutes Thursday night before finally solving the New Jersey Devils’ stout defense and even more stout goalie, Martin Brodeur. Once the waiting period ended, [...]

Brad Marchand Returns from Suspension Thursday in New Jersey

By ⋅ January 19, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Brad Marchand has missed the last five games due to a suspension he received from the league for ducking a check against the Canucks. In those five games, the Bruins took six out of a possible ten points. The power play struggled during Marchand’s suspension, with the team going only 2-15 with Marchand in the [...]

Bruins Smother Flames With Nine Goals, Twelve Point-Scoring Players

By ⋅ January 5, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

As a young boy, I played on a recreation-league soccer team in Brookline, Mass. We weren’t very good, but I liked the team’s name: the Flames. I’m pretty sure we could’ve given the Boston Bruins a better game than the Calgary Flames gave them Thursday night at TD Garden. Patrice Bergeron and Nathan Horton each [...]

Bruins Top Coyotes in OT 2-1, Extend Streak to 7

By ⋅ December 29, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The Bruins looked to continue their unbelievable run as they journeyed into Phoenix on Wednesday night. The B’s are not just winning games lately, they’re dominating other hockey squads and making it look like they belong in a league of their own. After a rough start, they have gone 20-2-1 in their last 23 games, [...]

Sputtering Bruins End Losing Streak in Columbus

By ⋅ December 10, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

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 [...]

Seguin Returns as Panthers Shut Out Bruins 2-0

By ⋅ December 9, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The Florida Panthers shut out the Bruins 2-0 Thursday night. Despite out-shooting the Panthers 40-30, the B’s couldn’t get one by Jose Theodore. The Panthers have been one of the surprise teams this season in the NHL. Coming into Thursday, the Panthers sat in third place in the Eastern Conference, also riding a two-game winning streak and [...]

Bruins Beat Leafs Again, Point Streak At 14 Games

By ⋅ December 4, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

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 [...]

Bruins Den: (Winning Streak) Back At One

By ⋅ November 28, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Well, all good things – Thanksgiving vacation, lipsmacking leftovers, and winning streaks – must end, right? Fortunately, some things start right back up again (alright, vacation and leftovers have a few weeks until Christmas), like the Boston Bruins’ (14-7-1, 29 points) winning streak, which is back at one and looking to rise with this week’s [...]

Bruins Overcome Slow Start to Ground Jets

By ⋅ November 26, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

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 [...]

Bruins Pound Islanders for 8th Straight Win

By ⋅ November 19, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The Bruins opened the first of three on their current road trip in Long Island against the Islanders on Saturday night. The game signified a bizzarre stretch in the schedule where the Bruins play the three road games after only having played four previously all season. Earlier this month the B’s shelled New York in [...]

Bruins Score 4 More Goals, Win 6th Straight Game

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 [...]

Bruins’ November Roll Continues Against Buffalo

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. 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 [...]

Bruins’ Comeback Attempt Falls Short; Sharks Win 4-2

By ⋅ October 22, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

It was a sloppy game for a good chunk of the night for the Bruins, and it resulted in a 4-2 loss to San Jose. Boston has been getting off to sluggish starts in the season and in individual games lately, and they did it again, surrendering a goal just 1:12 into the game off [...]

Strong Power Play Helps Bruins Dominate Maple Leafs

By ⋅ October 21, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

When Shawn Thornton threw down with Toronto Maple Leaf right winger Colton Orr early in the Bruins’ game Thursday night at the TD Garden, he sent a clear message: No more listless hockey. We’re fighting back. And boy, did they ever. Four different Bruins posted three-point games, and two first-period power play goals kick-started a [...]

Seguin Lifts Bruins to Shootout Win Over Blackhawks

By ⋅ October 16, 2011 ⋅ One comment

Four games into the season, it appeared the Bruins were still drunk from celebrating their Stanley Cup win as they stumbled to a 1-3 record. Seven minutes into the third period of their fifth game, in Chicago against the Blackhawks on Saturday night, it appeared the B’s were on their way to another loss. That [...]
