If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 6

By ⋅ November 17, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s a week before Thanksgiving, and things are getting close. Four divisions are led by at most two points, while another is led by three. Pretty much everyone except the Islanders and Blue Jackets is still well in the hunt. Virtually no seed has any amount of safety at the moment, so let’s look at [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 5

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 [...]

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 [...]

Michael Ryder Signs With Stars; Bruins Ink Benoit Pouliot

By ⋅ July 2, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

It was a busy first day in the NHL free agency period, and it started with a splash for the Bruins, who lost winger Michael Ryder to the Dallas Stars. They did pick up another former Canadien though, signing 24-year-old Benoit Pouliot to a one-year, $1.1 million deal. Ryder Seeing Stars Ryder signed a two-year, [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 23

By ⋅ March 16, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

We’re coming up on the last 10 games of the season, and it’s just as exciting as it ever was. If it weren’t for those games in hand, Philadelphia would be in trouble. Vancouver isn’t too far away from clinching that President’s Trophy. It’s still a logjam out West, and Anaheim is just one win [...]

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 [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 21

By ⋅ March 2, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

No more than 20 games remain for any team, so we’re in the final quartile of the season now. And this late, the top story continues to be the logjam out West between #4 and #11, if not further down. Even one more victory by the Predators (#9) would vault them up to #5. But [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 19

By ⋅ February 16, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The top two seeds in each conference (and Pittsburgh) are pretty safely nestled into their positions, but everything else is up for grabs, with one win being able to do pretty much anything. To that point, four Pacific teams are currently in the brackets, and the last is just a win away. We should all [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 18

By ⋅ February 9, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

With just two months left in the season, very little is known, or even in a good position, regarding which teams will end up where. The defending champs are in the #11 spot, and the once solid East bracket has now been tapped by a new team. And the Devils are now #13 in the [...]

Bruins Beat & Beat Up Dallas, 6-3

By ⋅ February 4, 2011 ⋅ 3 comments

In what was easily the most entertaining hockey game of the Bruins season thus far, Boston dropped the hammer on the Dallas Stars last night at the Garden, doubling up on Dallas, 6-3. The teams got the fireworks going early and often, with three fights in the first four seconds, and four bouts overall in [...]

Video: Daniel Paille Hits Raymond Sawada In Head

By ⋅ February 3, 2011 ⋅ 4 comments

In the Bruins wild 6-3 win over the Stars on Thursday night (that featured four fights in the first period…and three within the first four seconds), Daniel Paille delivered a vicious hit to Raymond Sawada’s head and received a match penalty. The Bruins killed the 5-minute power play, but that’s not the point: Paille’s hit [...]

Ice Breakers: Bruins-Stars, Thursday February 3rd

By ⋅ February 3, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The Bruins (29-15-7) return home to icy, slushy Boston tonight to host the Pacific Division leading Dallas Stars (30-16-5) at TD Garden. These two teams are in very similar positions in their respective conference standings right now. Both teams sit atop their divisions, both teams have 65 points in the standings through 51 games each, [...]
