By ⋅ February 27, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The Bruins (35-19-7) continue their trek across the Great White North this evening, lacing them up at Rexall Place to take on the lowly Edmonton Oilers (20-34-8).

Bruins Sweep Home-And-Home With Hurricanes

By ⋅ January 19, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

After the Bruins beat down the Hurricanes 7-0 on Monday night, the first in the home-and-home series, you had to wonder how Carolina would respond Tuesday night. As you might imagine, the Bruins didn’t score seven goals again, but they scored enough in a 3-2 victory. Tim Thomas was outstanding in net, especially in the [...]

Bruins Drop Wild One in Shootout

By ⋅ January 1, 2011 ⋅ 4 comments

In a game that went back and forth more than Hamlet deciding whether or not to be, the Buffalo Sabres emerged with a 7-6, shootout win. In a battle of futility between some of the (supposedly) best goaltenders in the NHL, nobody could play defense very well, or at all. Andrew Ference started the scoring [...]

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.

By ⋅ December 18, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

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 [...]

By ⋅ November 20, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The highs and lows of this game were worlds apart, and in the end, the Kings finally finished off the Bruins 4-3 in a shootout, leaving the Bruins to settle for a single point. That isn’t too bad, considering the Kings led 3-0 at one point. The game started with obvious omens that it would [...]

Bruins 2010-2011 Preview: Defensemen

By ⋅ September 27, 2010 ⋅ One comment

When most people think of what went wrong with the Bruins last year, the biggest problem was that they were unable to score goals to win games. Even when they were up against the Philadelphia Flyers 3-0 in the series, they were unable to keep the momentum and ended up dropping four straight games on [...]

On Wednesday, we showed the first four things to watch for as the Bruins open camp.

Bruins Training Camp: What to Watch For, Part 1

By ⋅ September 15, 2010 ⋅ One comment

Is it too soon to talk about the Bruins yet, or is the sting of last spring’s playoff collapse still too painful to overcome? Personally, as tough as it may be to do, I say we turn the page to the next chapter: the 2010-11 NHL season. The B’s are off and running this month [...]
