“I can’t accept that we will display a losing attitude as we’re doing this year…We prepare for our games like losers. We play like losers. So it’s no wonder why we lose.” With those words earlier in the week, Michael Cammalleri really sealed his fate. After playing the first two periods of Thursday night’s game [...]
The Bruins came into the night 0-2 against Montreal this season and a chance to take the lead in the Northeast division. Boston looked hot riding an eight game winning streak, and Montreal failed to get back to back wins as the Bruins extended their winning streak to nine games with a 1-0 shutout win [...]
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 [...]
Let’s face it: the Bruins have received a pass so far this season. The Red Sox collapsed, drank beer, ate fried chicken, and were the talk of the town for weeks after the season. The Patriots, meanwhile, started 5-1 and appear destined for the playoffs. But, the Sox talk has subsided and the Pats are [...]
They’re up, they’re down, they’re left, they’re right – for all it’s worth the Boston Bruins this season are as inconsistent as Windows ME and as unpredictable as your girlfriend after you say you just want to be friends. At 3-5-0 and two games left in the month, it’s highly possible the Bruins will finish [...]
Remember back in March when Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara ran Canadiens winger Max Pacioretty hard into the boards? The momentum led Pacioretty’s head to slam into the stanchion, knocking him out and ending his season. Chara was tossed from the game but did not receive further punishment by the NHL. He did however, face a potential [...]
If you watch hockey on NESN, you know what you get with Jack Edwards. He’s a pretty damn good play-by-play man. He knows the game. He also loves the Bruins and hates the Canadiens. He took his nerdy nature to a whole new level Wednesday night after the Game 7 win, hearkening back to the [...]
Bruins defenseman Andrew Ference will not be suspended by the league on Thursday, Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli told reporters on Thursday. Ference’s shoulder check on Montreal’s Jeff Halpern in the third period of the B’s epic Game 7 win sent the Hab to the lockerroom. You may remember that Ference was fined $2,500 earlier in [...]
“How about the B’s, man? Back from the dead,” I emphatically began to tell my buddy Matt. “Definitely going to write abo—,” I slowly stopped short and noticed Matt’s glaring eyes. He quickly interjected, “No! Don’t, ya–ya- can’t write about it.” Hmm. Admittedly, I don’t bleed black and gold (or is it yellow?) as much [...]
Game 7. These two words can change millions of lives across the globe. Two teams that carry the hearts of millions of fans on their back, face off against each other and only one can move on. This is what hockey is all about: the do or die moments where one small piece of circular rubber can [...]
Like they did all season long, the Bruins have taken us on a roller coaster ride in their first round playoff series against the Montreal Canadiens. After dropping the first two games at home, our Black and Gold went up to the Bell Centre and played two thrillers to tie the series up at two. [...]
In what could easily be both the most agonizing and the most thrilling game of the season, the Boston Bruins took a 3-2 series lead over the hated Montreal Canadiens in 89:03 of hockey. Both teams had a very difficult time getting anything done, thanks to both goalies playing extremely hard. Boston had a slight [...]
After scoring a goal in Game 4, Andrew Ference of the Boston Bruins told the fans in Montreal what he and us really think of them. As a result, the NHL fined him $2,500 for making an obscene gesture. Whatever. That’s just 1/900 (0.111…%) of his $2.25 million annual salary, which he makes in just [...]
Excuse me, while I channel my inner Richard Deitsch… While watching Game 2 of the Spurs/Grizzlies series on NBA TV Wednesday night, I noticed the announcers were based in San Antonio. This was made apparent right from the moment Matt Bonner hit a 3-point shot and the call was something along the lines of, “Red-Rocket for three…Yes!” [...]
Do you believe in miracles? Cliche, I know. But, the Bruins just spent a couple days hanging out in Lake Placid, New York at the site of the Miracle on Ice, so the context is there. And with a second straight win in Montreal on Thursday night, it’s safe to call the Bruins’ turnaround thus [...]
