The defensive corps performed well above expectations last season for the Eastern Conference-leading Bruins, and heading into this year’s campaign, the blue line brigade hopes to continue their dominating ways. After a season in which the B’s led the entire NHL with a strong 2.32 goals against average, the team is coming into this season [...]
Isn’t it hard to believe that the Boston Bruins are a legitimate Stanley Cup contender? Granted, this team has yet to make it beyond the Eastern Conference Semifinals, but the devastatingly upsetting way that last season ended gave B’s fans a look of what was to come, and what was in the B’s future. With [...]
As we turn the page on the calendar to September, we find ourselves exactly one month away from the opener for Boston’s ’09-’10 season, when Alex the Great and the Capitals visit the Garden to kick off what will be a year loaded with very high expectations for the Black and Gold.

Matt Hunwick now has nothing between him and a fun time on Friday night. The former restricted free agent canceled his salary arbitration hearing set for this Friday by re-signing with the Boston Bruins to a two-year deal reportedly worth $2.9 million.

Marc Savard finished with two goals and two assists to help the Bruins dominate. The B’s were without Matt Hunwick, who [...]
The Bruins have been pretty bad now for more than a month. I know, they have had some nice wins and made a couple nice trades at the deadline, but just look at the standings. Their once-massive Eastern Conference lead is now down to just four points (the B’s are at 100 and the Capitals at [...]
A strong first period, combined with a highlights-reel-save from Glen Metropolit (you read it right) helped the Bruins in their efforts to beat the Devils, last night, by the score of 4-3.
