By ⋅ April 3, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

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.

By ⋅ March 8, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Boston Bruins have rarely played “complete” hockey over the last two months, alternating losses with frustrating, indecisive victories.

Thomas Relieves Injured Rask, Falters Against Islanders

By ⋅ March 3, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Boston Bruins have needed no one’s help to play lazy, lackadaisical, .500 hockey since mid-January.

A possibly uncalled icing penalty late in the third led to a tie-breaking goal by center John Tavares, and Evgeni Nabokov saved 32 [...]

Bruins Survive Late Meltdown to Down Senators

By ⋅ February 25, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

It was a tough start and finish for Boston, but they had enough meat in the middle to finish off the win in Ottawa, 5-3.

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.
