Bruins Clinch Playoff Spot With Odd Win Over Hurricanes

By KC Downey ⋅ April 10, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The Bruins have a lot of trouble scoring goals on the power play, and it gets even worse at even strength. They continued to struggle in both departments during Saturday’s 4-2 win against the Hurricanes. When Matt Hunwick headed back to the penalty box to start the second period, he told teammates to kill the [...]

Boston Rakes In Victory Over Leafs With Playoff Spot, Draft Pick on Line

By John ⋅ April 4, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Following recent troubles, the Bruins rallied Saturday to drop the Maple Leafs 2-1 in OT. You could tell it would be a tough contest (despite it being Toronto) when Colton Orr (no relation to Bobby) snapped the puck past Tuukka Rask 5:10 into the game. And Michael Ryder got called for hooking 9:15 in, and [...]

Bruins Sink Sabres for Second Straight Win, 3-2

By Brian Kintz ⋅ February 10, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

A pair of goals by former Sabre Daniel Paille and 43 saves by the team’s new golden goalie Tuukka Rask helped the B’s earn their second straight win Tuesday night over the Buffalo Sabres, 3-2 in the shootout. The loss marks Buffalo’s fifth straight defeat. Coupled with Ottawa’s win over Calgary, the Sabres now have [...]

Bruins Can’t Get It Together, Drop To 8th Place

By John ⋅ January 24, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Another game, another loss. Another zero points for the Bruins. Without much of a game plan going for them, the Bruins dropped to the Senators Saturday, 2-1. Coupled with a Flyers’ victory over the Hurricanes, the Bruins are now in 8th place in the East. If the Canadiens beat the Rangers or the Islanders win [...]

Senators Not Named Brown or Coakley Top B’s, 5-1

By Brian Kintz ⋅ January 18, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Something tells me if the Ottawa Senators had Scott Brown in goal and Martha Coakley centering the top forward line, they still would have beat the poop out of the Bruins today. After winning the first four meetings of the season over Ottawa, the Bruins got their butts whipped at the TD Garden Monday afternoon, [...]

Bruins Thump Thrashers, 6-4

By Brian Kintz ⋅ December 24, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

The Bruins were able to score in bunches Wednesday night, helping them put up six goals against both Ondrej Pavelec and Johan Hedberg, topping the Thrashers 6-4 at TD Garden. The win extends the B’s current win streak over Atlanta to eight games, dating back to the ’07-’08 season. Marc Savard got the scoring going [...]

Islanders Jump on Rask, Win Easily

By Greg ⋅ November 17, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Matt Moulson scored his first goal of the night in the first period only six minutes into the game. He would later add two more, with one of them taken away and rightfully given to his teammate John Tavares. The Bruins struggled to stop the puck from going into their own net as they lost [...]

Bruins Back on Track Against Champs

By John ⋅ November 11, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s about time the Bruins started to look like they did last year. On Tuesday, the Black and Gold tore through the defending champion Penguins 3-0. In the 1st period, the Penguins had an early chance to pull ahead when Vladamir Sobotka was called for tripping just 2:04 in. But, they couldn’t capitalize and not [...]

Ice Breakers: Bruins-Flyers, Thursday 10-22

By Brian Kintz ⋅ October 22, 2009 ⋅ One comment

After surviving in Wednesday night’s 3-2 win over Nashville, the bruised Bruins take their show back on the road Thursday night for a match-up against the Philadelphia Flyers. Philadelphia, who started the season winning three straight, have now dropped three in a row heading into the game with Boston. While the B’s will be looking [...]

Newbies Key 3-2 Bruins Win

By Dan Davis ⋅ October 22, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

Maybe the Bruins hit rock bottom, then bounced back up. Trailing 1-0 then 2-1 at home to Nashville (dead last in the Central Division), Boston came from behind to pull out an important 3-2 win on Wednesday. With All-Star (and last year’s leading scorer) Marc Savard joining Milan Lucic and Shawn Thornton on the injury [...]

Ice Breakers: Bruins-Predators, Wednesday 10-21

By Brian Kintz ⋅ October 21, 2009 ⋅ 2 comments

The Bruins will showcase their new-look roster Wednesday night at the TD Garden, hosting the lowly Nashville Predators. Boston GM Peter Chiarelli, in an effort to shake up his under-performing squad, sent winger Chuck Kobasew to Minnesota over the weekend, in exchange for minor leaguer Craig Waller, unsigned draft choice Alexander Fallstrom, and a draft [...]

Bruins Make History Dealing For Forward Paille

By Erikk ⋅ October 21, 2009 ⋅ 3 comments

Boston Bruins General Manager Peter Chiarelli made team history by sending a 2010 third-round draft pick and a conditional fourth-rounder in next year’s draft to the Buffalo Sabres for left wing Daniel Paille (pronounced: pie-YAY) in the first-ever trade between the Northeast Division opponents. Paille, a Welland, Ontario-native (and newlywed, Google has pointed out), comes [...]
