Ice Breakers: Bruins-Penguins, Monday January 10th

The Bruins (21-12-7) will look to rebound from Saturday night’s embarrassing loss this evening, when they skate with the Sidney Crosby-less Pittsburgh Penguins (26-13-4). The B’s technically still sit atop the Northeast Division standings, tied with Montreal at 49 points, but with two games in hand on the Habs. Boston had their chance to create [...]

Bruins-Wild History Worsens With Loss

After a hard-fought five-game road trip, the Boston Bruins returned to the TD Garden to take on a team that could be considered mediocre compared to the competition the Bruins faced as of late. But, the Bruins were unable to outscore the Minnesota Wild on Thursday night, falling 3-1. The Wild have never lost in Boston [...]

Rask Up To The Task; B’s Top Toronto, 2-1

The Bruins closed out their five-game road trip Monday night in Toronto, beating the Leafs 2-1 at Air Canada Centre, with the help of a stellar performance from Tuukka Rask. Rask, who was pulled after just 20 minutes in Saturday’s 7-6 shootout loss to the Sabres, stopped 36 shots against the Leafs, with exactly half [...]

Bruins Drop Wild One in Shootout

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 [...]

Ice Breakers: Bruins-Thrashers, Thursday December 30th

The Bruins (20-11-4) will wrap up 2010 tonight with their third stop on their five-city road trip, going up against a familiar foe, the Atlanta Thrashers (19-14-6). These two teams have headed in opposite directions since their meeting just one week ago. It was then when the B’s woke up from a 1-3-1 slump to [...]

Bruins Shock Lightning to Extend Division Lead

The Boston Bruins scored first and never fell behind the Tampa Bay Lightning on Tuesday’s 4-3 win in Florida – but it was close. Mark Recchi scored the game-winning, power-play goal with just 20 seconds remaining in the third period. The Bruins were coming off of a 3-2 win over the Florida Panthers on Monday, [...]

Habs Handle Bruins, 4-3

The Bruins were forced to play catch-up, almost from the first minute of action Thursday night in Montreal.  The B’s would never catch the Habs however, falling to the Canadiens, 4-3 at Bell Centre.  The win snapped a season-long three-game losing streak for Montreal, while the Bruins squandered their chance to tie the Canadiens atop [...]

A ‘Dull’ Win, but the Bruins Still Got the Two Points

The

Late Boston Penalty Turns Zero Toronto Points Into Two

Boston was sailing on their way to another victory with just minutes remaining. But a late holding call on Patrice Bergeron allowed Toronto to get a major advantage and score with less than a minute to go, and eventually win the game in a shootout. What is it with Boston teams losing to Toronto teams [...]

Ice Breakers: Bruins-Maple Leafs, Saturday December 4th

What a time to be a Boston sports fan. The C’s beat up on Brian Scalabrine’s Bulls last night. The Pats are hosting the Jets Monday night at Gillette in the biggest game thus far in the NFL’s regular season. Gillette Stadium is buzzing today with six Eastern Mass. high school Super Bowls. Oh, and [...]

Savard Returns, Bruins Dominate Lightning in 8-1 Win

The Boston Bruins welcomed back center Marc Savard with an 8-1 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday night. The Bruins scored first in Wednesday’s 3-0 win in Philadelphia, and did so again on Thursday, meaning they are now 10-0-0 when scoring first. Savard, who missed 23 games due to post-concussion syndrome, played 21 shifts in [...]

Ice Breakers: Bruins-Lightning, Thursday December 2nd

Fresh off their 3-0 shutout win over the Flyers less than 24 hours ago, the Bruins (13-8-2) return home Thursday evening to face off with Steven Stamkos and the Tampa Bay Lightning (14-8-3). The win Wednesday night marked the fifth shutout of the season already for goalie Tim Thomas, who put up an impressive 41-save [...]

Ice Breakers: Bruins-Flyers, Wednesday December 1st

The Bruins (12-8-2) look to right the ship Wednesday in the City of Brotherly Love, sparking up the heated rivalry between the B’s and the Philadelphia Flyers (15-6-4). This will of course be the first meeting of these two squads since last spring’s epic collapse by Boston and miraculous comeback by Philly, climbing back from [...]

Bruins Trade Hunwick for Cohen, Clear Cap Room for Savard

The Bruins have traded defensman Matt Hunwick to the Colorado Avalanche for former Boston University defenseman Colby Cohen in a salary dump. Why did they need to dump any salary? Well, with plans to activate Marc Savard in the works, GM Peter Chiarelli needed to trim some space to fit in their 33-year-old concussed center [...]

Ice Breakers: Bruins-Panthers, Wednesday November 24th

The Bruins (11-6-2) look to round out their brief southern road trip with a win tonight, taking on the Florida Panthers (9-10-0) in Sunrise, Florida this evening. Boston took one on the chin Monday night in Tampa on the first leg of this road trip, falling behind by three goals early for the second straight [...]
