If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 8

It’s been an interesting week. Two former division leaders have reclaimed their thrones. The Predators are actually in second place in the Central Division. The Bruins are actually looking better, though more shutouts and regulation victories would be easier to swallow. And the Hurricanes are still bottom feeders to top it off. With two divisional [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 7

Things are picking up. All five Atlantic teams are in line for playoff spots. Only one division features a point differential between 1st and 2nd of more than four points. Only one of the six Canadian teams is up for a slot. And to top it all off, five out of eight current series would [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 6

This past week has shaken up the NHL standings, with more certainly shaking to come.

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 3

It’s been quite a start to the 2009-2010 hockey season. The Buffalo Sabres now sit atop the Northeast division, and the Coyotes, after the whole “let’s see if we can sell the team” thing, are right there in the hunt. Four teams are worse than the Islanders, and the injury riddled Bruins are struggling to [...]

Bruins Outshine Stars, 3-0

Slump? What slump? Led by the play of some of their “money players,” Marc Savard’s two goals and Tim Thomas’s 13th career shutout paved the way for Boston, as the B’s downed the Dallas Stars Friday night. The loss was the first of the season in regulation for Dallas. The Bruins opened the scoring late [...]

Ice Breakers: Bruins-Stars, Friday 10/16

After a homestand filled with struggles, the Bruins begin the road portion of their schedule tonight in the Lonestar State, facing off against the Dallas Stars. Boston has started the year 2-3-0 thus far, a disappointing record for a team with such high expectations. The team is hoping that this brief road trip will help [...]
