You can’t help but acknowledge the irony. Amidst the celebration at TD Garden on Monday night, as the Boston Bruins took a commanding 2-0 lead in their best-of-seven semifinal series against the Philadelphia Flyers, The Standells’ “Love That Dirty Water” was blaring across the arena just like it would after any Bruins victory.

Sabre Adam Mair scored on the team’s first shot on Friday night in Game 5 against the Bruins. OK, no problem.

Super Sunday: Rask Helps Bruins Break Long Losing Streak

By ⋅ February 7, 2010 ⋅ One comment

The Bruins entered Super Sunday losers of their last 10 games as they closed in on the worst losing streak in team history — an 11-game stretch in the 1924-25 season. A loss against the rival Canadiens on Sunday, and the Bruins would match the dubious mark and undoubtedly send a shockwave of panic across [...]

It’s been a quiet week for the Black and Gold since their Saturday night stomping of Phil Kessel and the Toronto Maple Leafs (10-13-7).

Bruins Crush Maple Leafs Like Leaves

By ⋅ October 12, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

After the Boston Bruins’ 4-3 shootout-come-from-behind victory over the New York Islanders on Saturday, a great deal of discussion was devoted to the momentum the team would carry into Monday’s game against the Colorado Avalanche and hopefully onward. Unfortunately for the B’s, the talk was all for naught as the Avs took away any momentum [...]
