Pacioretty Adds Fuel to Chara Fire

By ⋅ March 10, 2011 ⋅ One comment

Unlike his career, Max Pacioretty is refusing to let the banter about the Zdeno Chara hit die. When asked, he responded, “I am upset and disgusted that the league didn’t think enough of (the hit) to suspend him. I not mad for myself, I’m mad because if other players see a hit like that and [...]

Chara Escapes Further Discipline from NHL; No Fine, No Suspension

By ⋅ March 9, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

In somewhat of a surprise move by the NHL today, the league has decided not to suspend or fine Bruins captain Zdeno Chara for the nasty hit on Montreal’s Max Pacioretty in last night’s 4-1 Canadiens win up at the Bell Centre. For the few of you who haven’t seen or heard about last night’s [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 22

By ⋅ March 9, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Only one month remains in the season, and there’s still a lot to be hashed out. The Devils are still making an improbable run. Five points separates #4 from #11 out west. Even the Flyers aren’t safe, with Boston and now Washington right behind them. One of the few sure things right now appears to [...]

Video: Max Pacioretty Hit By Zdeno Chara

By ⋅ March 9, 2011 ⋅ One comment

The Bruins and Canadiens have a lot of history. We know that. Zdeno Chara and Max Pacioretty also have a bit of history. At a game in January, Chara and Pacioretty had a scuffle after the Habs winger scored the game-winning goal in overtime. Pacioretty shoved Chara after the goal, and several players had to [...]

Canadiens Get Revenge on Bruins; Pacioretty Hospitalized After Chara Hit

By ⋅ March 8, 2011 ⋅ One comment

Have there ever been two NHL teams that hate each other more than these two? I really don’t think an argument could be made for any other two teams in the history of the league. Every time the Boston Bruins and the Montreal Canadiens meet up, there’s always a story to go along. On Tuesday [...]

Ice Breakers: Bruins-Canadiens, Tuesday March 8th

By ⋅ March 8, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

One of the best rivalries in the NHL heats up north of the border this evening, as the Bruins (38-19-8) travel to Montreal to take on the hated Canadiens (36-23-7). It was just 27 days ago when the B’s and Habs last met in a game many are still talking about. 182 penalty minutes, five [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 21

By ⋅ March 2, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

No more than 20 games remain for any team, so we’re in the final quartile of the season now. And this late, the top story continues to be the logjam out West between #4 and #11, if not further down. Even one more victory by the Predators (#9) would vault them up to #5. But [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 20

By ⋅ February 23, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

20 weeks done, almost 20 games left, and Philadelphia is still running away with the East. Vancouver is closer in the West to Detroit, but still has a comfortable lead, but is in danger of falling behind Philadelphia. The Dallas Stars, not too long ago atop the Pacific Division, are now in last place in [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 19

By ⋅ February 16, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The top two seeds in each conference (and Pittsburgh) are pretty safely nestled into their positions, but everything else is up for grabs, with one win being able to do pretty much anything. To that point, four Pacific teams are currently in the brackets, and the last is just a win away. We should all [...]

A Look Back: Bruins’ Wild 8-6 Win Over Habs

By ⋅ February 11, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Head coach Claude Julien’s 300th game behind the Boston bench Wednesday was one he’ll certainly never forget, and neither will the fans that watched every minute of it from the edge of their seats. Arguably the most entertaining game in the entire NHL this season, the B’s and Habs added fuel to the fire of [...]

Bruins Win Insane War Against Habs

By ⋅ February 10, 2011 ⋅ 3 comments

I have never seen anything like that. There hasn’t been action that chaotic in Boston since the Royal Rumble 10 days prior. The final victory, 8-6, seemed more like something Adrian Gonzalez and Carl Crawford will put up in a few months. These two teams are supposed to be built on defense, but they scored [...]

Video: Tim Thomas-Carey Price Goalie Fight

By ⋅ February 9, 2011 ⋅ One comment

You know things went down at the TD Garden on Wednesday night when the goalies started going at it. In the second period while both teams were brawling, Tim Thomas skated out of his crease (a penalty) all the way across the ice to challenge Carey Price, and the referees let them go. While anyone [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 18

By ⋅ February 9, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

With just two months left in the season, very little is known, or even in a good position, regarding which teams will end up where. The defending champs are in the #11 spot, and the once solid East bracket has now been tapped by a new team. And the Devils are now #13 in the [...]

Ice Breakers: Bruins-Canadiens, Wednesday February 9th

By ⋅ February 9, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

No regular season game may be bigger than tonight’s matchup at the TD Garden. The Bruins (30-16-7) put their slim Northeast Division lead on the line tonight against Original Six rival, the Montreal Canadiens (30-19-5). Montreal is really the only thorn in Boston’s side this season, with the Habs winning all three previous meetings. The [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 16

By ⋅ January 26, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Plenty of teams have already made it to 50 games, and it’s still pretty crowded. The East race isn’t an eight-team race any longer, and the West is even more heated towards the bottom. The #1 teams are comfortably leading their conferences, but not too much else is certain. Even the Devils are making a [...]
