Bruins Beat Leafs Again, Point Streak At 14 Games

By ⋅ December 4, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The last time the Bruins had a regulation loss (back on Oct. 29), the Red Sox were without a manager, Julian Edelman hadn’t been arrested yet, and the NBA was still in a lockout with no end in sight. That trend continued Saturday night, with the Bruins taking down the Maple Leafs for the fourth [...]

Bruins’ November Roll Continues Against Buffalo

By ⋅ November 12, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Boston just can’t be beaten lately. Not even close. On Saturday, their next victim was Buffalo. The Sabres lost 6-2, in a rough showing. It didn’t start that way, though. Boston had the majority of shots in the 1st, though it was Buffalo who struck first blood at 5:38 on a wrist shot from Thomas [...]

Triple-Double: Bruins Hang Six Goals on Oilers

By ⋅ November 10, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The Edmonton Oilers survived the Boston Bruins’ first two-goal period Thursday night at the TD Garden. They couldn’t survive the second. Or the third. The Bruins scored twice in all three periods Thursday, powering them to a 6-3 victory over the once-streaking Oilers. The Bruins have now scored 24 goals in their last four games.

Bruins Mostly Flat in Loss in Montreal

By ⋅ October 29, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Boston’s highly disappointing start to the season continued Saturday in Montreal, as they fell 4-2 to the hated Habs. The Bruins had a few moments, though for the most part they were rather lackluster. After some early energy, Boston got sloppy with the puck. After some assistance from the referees on a questionable holding call [...]

2011 Bruins Preview: Defensemen

By ⋅ September 19, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

While no one can deny that all of the awards and accolades Bruins goalie Tim Thomas received after last season’s historic Stanley Cup run were all very well-deserved, I’m here to tell you that hey, the guy didn’t do it all on his own. Without the talents of the Bruins’ “blue line brigade,” the team [...]

Video: Johnny Boychuk Hits Mason Raymond in Bruins-Canucks Game 6

By ⋅ June 14, 2011 ⋅ One comment

In an already chippy series, it only took a few moments into Game 6 to have the first serious hit. The hit, itself, didn’t look all that serious though. Canuck Mason Raymond was bent over and skated backwards, hitting the boards butt-first while his neck and shoulders had contact with Johnny Boychuk. In simpler terms, [...]

Raffi Torres Goal with 18.5 Left in Third Gives Canucks Stanley Cup Game One Victory

By ⋅ June 2, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

It was a classic goalie battle Wednesday night as the Stanley Cup finals began at Rogers Arena in Vancouver. No Canuck could get past Tim Thomas, but neither could any Bruin get past Robert Luongo. Both were impenetrable walls, denying any and every shot. Sticks, skates, helmets, gloves, whatever it took to block the puck. [...]

Video: Johnny Boychuck Slapshot Hits Steven Stamkos in Face, Causes Broken Nose?

By ⋅ May 28, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Lightning winger Steven Stamkos was the recipient of a hard slapshot to the face in the second period off the stick of Johnny Boychuk (the puck was redirected off the stick of Martin St. Louis). Stamkos is a hockey player though, and remained in the game despite a disgusting deep gash on his nose. Despite [...]

Video: Steve Downie Won’t Be Punished For Hit On Johnny Boychuk

By ⋅ May 24, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Tampa Bay’s Steve Downie (again, no relation) will not be fined or suspended for his questionable hit on Bruins defenseman Johnny Boychuk in Game 5, according to TSN’s Bob Mackenzie. Boychuk was behind the Bruins net and just passed the puck when the approaching Downie finishing his check, crushing him into the boards. Boychuk’s head [...]

Lightning Zap Bruins 5-2 to Take Game 1

By ⋅ May 15, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Playing in their first Eastern Conference Finals since 1992, the Bruins seemed a bit overwhelmed in Game 1 on Saturday night. Or, perhaps they were a bit rusty (they hadn’t played in more than a week). Whatever it was, it wasn’t good and needs to change if the Bruins have any shot of advancing to [...]

Bruins Drop Season Finale, Turn Focus to Montreal

By ⋅ April 10, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

In their final game of the regular season, the Bruins lost 3-2 to the Devils after taking some of the game off, but since 15 of the 16 seeds had already been wrapped up (including all eight East slots), they could afford to get the extra rest. New Jersey got on the board just 1:47 [...]

Bruins Utterly Collapse Against New York

By ⋅ April 5, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Still in the hunt for a top seed, Boston decided they didn’t want it, and dropped to the New York Rangers 5-3. That was after getting a 3-0 lead. Sound like a certain Game 7? In this case, Boston controlled the 1st period, winning the shot battle 19-5. They didn’t strike until late in the [...]

Thomas, Bruins Shut Out Blackhawks (And Their Playoff Hopes)

By ⋅ March 29, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Some times it’s just nice to play spoiler. The Boston Bruins worked on doing that Tuesday night as they matched up against the Chicago Blackhawks. While the Bruins already secured it’s playoff spot, the Blackhawks needed a win to help them stay afloat in the race for eighth place in the Western Conference. Chicago is [...]

Bruins Hab Not Looked Better Against Montreal

By ⋅ March 24, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

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 [...]

Ice Breakers: Bruins-Sabres, Thursday March 10th

By ⋅ March 10, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

With so much Bruins (38-20-8) news happening off the ice over the last 48 hours or so, it’s hard to remember that the team still has plenty of work left to do on the ice, including tonight, when the B’s host the Buffalo Sabres (32-26-8) at TD Garden. So obviously, the focus since Tuesday night’s [...]
