In trying to keep pace with Philadelphia and Washington, Boston instead couldn’t keep pace with Toronto, losing at home 4-3 in a shootout. The two teams were relatively even in the 1st Period, with the only goal coming on a wrist shot from Toronto’s Luke Schenn. Toronto also out-shot Boston by one in the period, [...]
The Bruins (43-23-10) will round out the month of March this evening, hosting Phil Kessel and the Toronto Maple Leafs (35-32-10) at TD Garden. Boston made quick work of the defending champion Blackhawks Tuesday night, shutting them out 3-0 led by yet another stellar performance from goalie Tim Thomas. It was Thomas’s ninth shutout of [...]
Montreal came to Boston looking to make a statement, and instead they laid a giant egg. They collapsed like the U.S. economy. And after losing to Boston 7-0, Montreal’s divisional hopes may have gone up in smoke. There was sure a lot to salivate over, so let’s get to it. It didn’t take long for [...]
The rookie prevails. When all else was lost, the Boston Bruins relied on first-year player Tyler Seguin in the overtime shootout to get past the pesky Columbus Blue Jackets. The Bruins really needed the 3-2 victory on Tuesday night, as it snapped a four-game losing streak. Before the game, head coach Claude Julien knew that [...]
With just 15 games left in their regular season, the Bruins (38-20-9) hope to right the ship tonight on Long Island, where they will kick off their four-game road trip at Nassau Coliseum against the New York Islanders (26-32-10). It’s been a long, bumpy road this week for the Black and Gold, coupling two division [...]
It was an exciting game, with Matt Cooke booed out of the building as expected, and the Penguins won 3-2 in OT after the Bruins tied it late. The game lived up to its billing right away, with no score in the 1st Period and both teams getting some great chances denied. In between a [...]
After the Bruins lost three straight games last week, including two to the Detroit Red Wings and an awful loss to the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Bruins really needed to do some soul searching as they began their longest road trip of the season. Wins against the Islanders and Senators to start the trip were [...]
The Bruins (33-19-7) will make the third stop on their season-long six-game road trip this evening, when they travel out to western Canada to face off with the Calgary Flames (31-22-8). Boston welcomed two of their newest additions in Ottawa Friday night, as Tomas Kaberle and Chris Kelly joined the B’s to make their black [...]
Two streaks came to an end last night on Long Island, as the B’s snapped their longest losing streak of the season at three, beating the red hot New York Islanders at Nassau Coliseum, 6-3. They also ended New York’s season-long four-game win streak. The Boston win kicked off their six-game road trip in grand [...]
It was Tuukka Time at the Garden on Friday night in the first of a home-and-home with another one of the Original Six: the Detroit Red Wings. If this were 2010, Tuukka Time was most of the time after the youngster strangled hold of the starting job over what seemed to be the aging Tim [...]
I have never seen anything like that. There hasn’t been action that chaotic in Boston since the Royal Rumble 10 days prior. The final victory, 8-6, seemed more like something Adrian Gonzalez and Carl Crawford will put up in a few months. These two teams are supposed to be built on defense, but they scored [...]
With 50 games in the books, the 2010-2011 Boston Bruins season has already past its halfway point. It seems like just yesterday that the team was over on their season-opening European trip, kicking off the season with a pair of games in Prague, splitting them with the Phoenix Coyotes. Months later, your hometown hockey squad [...]
Boston never led in the game. They were 0-3 in shootouts on the season. But they were up against the lowly Panthers, and the Bruins finally were able to take control in a shootout and the Northeast Division by beating Florida 3-2 in said shootout. Both teams got double-digit shots on goal in each of [...]
The Bruins went up 3-0, and then looked like there was a good chance they would lose; where have we heard that before? Instead, they allowed the Capitals to climb right back in the game, and the Caps had plenty of quality chances to tie and take the lead, but Boston emerged victorious 3-2. The [...]
The Bruins (16-8-3) conclude their three-game homestand this evening, hosting the hated Philadelphia Flyers (18-7-5) at TD Garden. Philly’s been one of the league’s top teams this season, which shouldn’t surprise anyone. They currently sit in second place in the Atlantic Division behind another one of the league’s power teams, the Penguins. The Flyers are [...]
