Ward’s Shutout Gives Hurricanes First Season Sweep Over Bruins

By ⋅ February 2, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Boston Bruins did just about everything they could against the Carolina Hurricanes Thursday night at the TD Garden. They won over 70 percent of their face-offs. They hit hard and often. And they ripped shot after shot after shot at goalie Cam Ward. They just couldn’t score. Ward saved all 47 shots against him [...]

Canes Storm Past Struggling B’s, 4-1

By ⋅ October 19, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Fights are fantastic… but goals would be even better. Fists flew Tuesday night at TD Garden, with the Bruins racking up 70 penalty minutes on the night, the most since last February’s famously fight-filled feud with the Montreal Canadiens. The frustration level of the men wearing the spoked B has apparently bubbled over, and instead [...]

The Bruins (25-13-7) hit the road this evening, heading south to Raleigh to take on a familiar foe, the Carolina Hurricanes (22-17-6). It was just over 24 hours ago that the B’s beat down the ‘Canes at TD Garden, wrapping up a four-game homestand with a 7-0 trouncing of Carolina. There were all sorts of [...]

The Bruins (12-6-2) return home after a brief two-game jaunt through the Sunshine State to host the Carolina Hurricanes (9-12-2) at the TD Garden for a matinee game on Causeway Street. Boston rebounded from a very rough game in Tampa Monday with a come-from-behind effort Wednesday against the Panthers that earned them a 3-1 victory, [...]

Last stop: Raleigh, NC. It’s been a bumpy road for the Bruins (30-26-12), who make their seventh and final stop on their season-long road trip this evening, where tonight they will take on the resurgent Carolina Hurricanes (28-32-8). Don’t look now, but once the laughing stock of the league, the ‘Canes have rebounded in astounding [...]

Hurricanes Storm Past Bruins, 5-1

By ⋅ January 24, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

It doesn’t get much uglier than this, Bruins fans. On an afternoon where the B’s looked to right the sinking ship, the ship sunk to a new low, as Boston fell to the Eastern Conference’s cellar dwellers, the Carolina Hurricanes, by a convincing score of 5-1. The loss marked the fifth straight for Boston, and [...]

For the first time in a long time, the Bruins (23-19-8) wake up this morning to find themselves on the outside looking in on the Eastern Conference playoff picture. After Saturday’s 2-1 loss to Ottawa, coupled with wins from other teams in the East, Boston now finds themselves down to fourth in the Northeast Division, [...]

Ice Breakers: Bruins-Hurricanes Saturday 10-3

By ⋅ October 3, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

The Carolina Hurricanes return to the scene of the crime tonight at TD Garden, as they come back to the building where Scott Walker and the ‘Canes stole a Game 7 overtime victory from the top-seeded Bruins in the second round of last season’s playoffs. After the heated seven-game series last spring, these two squads [...]

Bruins in Trouble, Down 3-1 in Series

By ⋅ May 8, 2009 ⋅ One comment

After a dominating 4-1 win in Game 1, the Bruins seemed satisfied with the way they were performing. Why wouldn’t they be? The Bruins were 5-0 in the playoffs, and 5-0 overall this season against the Hurricanes. Then, like a hurricane (I had to use the analogy), Carolina mowed down the Bruins for three straight [...]

Hurricanes Shut Out Bruins, Tie Series 1-1

By ⋅ May 4, 2009 ⋅ One comment

In my opinion, the only chance any team has of beating the Boston Bruins in a playoff series is to have a white-hot goaltender. It looks as if the Hurricanes will ride on the coat tails of Cam Ward, who stopped 36 shots against the Bruins Sunday night for his second shutout in the last four [...]
