With the Boston Bruins locked into the number two spot in the East, the game Tuesday against the Pittsburgh Penguins should have had no meaning. In a 5-3 loss, the Bruins may have lost more than the game. Johnny Boychuck was on the wrong side of a knee-on-knee collision with Aaron Asham midway through the third [...]
Thursday night the NHL All Star Draft happened in Ottawa. Zdeno Chara and Daniel Alfredsson captained the two teams selecting two All-Star rosters. Chara called the puck toss and won the first pick. Pavel Datsyuk was the first name called. Many people thought Chara would take Tim Thomas (though he did grab him in the second [...]

The Bruins dropped a tough one to the defending champs in Pittsburgh on Sunday afternoon (a 2-1 defeat), but a loss that may hurt their playoff chances even more occurred with less than six minutes to play. At that point, Pittsburgh’s Matt Cooke came at Marc Savard with a high elbow hit to the head [...]
The Bruins (29-23-11) will go for their sixth straight road win this afternoon in Pittsburgh when they make their second stop on their seven-game road trip, taking on the defending champs, the Penguins (39-22-4).
