If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 15

By ⋅ January 19, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

There are still interesting talking points occurring in the world of hockey. The West’s #4-8 are separated by two points. Boston is up to #2 in the East. Washington will probably need to win their division to earn home-ice advantage, but they’re having trouble getting over that hump. Atlanta has some breathing room over Carolina, [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 14

By ⋅ January 12, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Each team is now officially at least halfway through the season. The Devils are still quite useless and the Canucks are still quite strong. Boston is still ahead of Montreal by two, but hasn’t always been consistent very much at all. Now, five divisions are being led by teams that didn’t win them last season. [...]

Complacent Bruins Blow Late Two-Goal Lead, Fall to Habs

By ⋅ January 9, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

Playing in hostile territory, the Bruins were making a statement as the best team in the Northeast Division through most of the game. By the end of the game however, the B’s proved just how topsy-turvy the NHL’s worst division (best on record) really is. The rival Canadiens, who with a win would at least [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 13

Another week in, and things are starting to shake up. Both #1s from last time were displaced, the West’s middle of the pack has been a revolving door for quite a while, and there is a tie for each top spot. Toronto is 4th worst in the league, so Boston will get a great draft [...]

The season is almost half over, and the Devils are on pace for 46 points. Eight teams have already surpassed that mark. The Penguins and Red Wings have relatively comfortable leads for now, but have games out of hand to worry about. The Bruins are starting to pull away from the Canadiens, and still have [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 11

By ⋅ December 24, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

There’s been plenty of action before the NHL’s Christmas break, and things are getting quite interesting. The top slots are being challenged, the West’s bottom slots are in such a predicament as well, and it’s a good thing for the Bruins that the Northeast Division is comparatively weak. And nearly half-way through the season, the [...]

Habs Handle Bruins, 4-3

By ⋅ December 17, 2010 ⋅ One comment

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 [...]

Ice Breakers: Bruins-Canadiens, Thursday December 16th

By ⋅ December 16, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The Bruins (16-9-4) will get a second chance to climb to a tie atop the Northeast Division this evening, when they take on the hated Montreal Canadiens (18-11-2) at the Bell Centre, north of the border. Boston found themselves just two points behind the Habs in the standings heading into last night’s action, but the [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 10

By ⋅ December 16, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

10 Weeks are gone, and while the East has a clear field of eight, the West is still fighting amongst itself. And right now, the teams with the two most points are in the same Atlantic division. The Bruins completely missed their chance to overtake the Canadiens, and now sit in the lowly #8 as [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 9

By ⋅ December 9, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Another week into the season, and the East’s eight are moving away from the pack, though the top four seeds are shuffling and the latter four are all tied. That’s the same situation in the West, too, except four teams are just one win away from moving into the brackets. The last place team in [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 8

By ⋅ December 2, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

After two months, we’re starting to see some separation in the East, but no such luck in the West. Between eight and nine in the East is five points, but one in the West; even last place in the Pacific Division (San Jose) is just one win away from poking their nose into the race. [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 7

By ⋅ November 26, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Welcome to a special Thanksgiving week edition of the NHL’s “If the Playoffs…” And be sure to enjoy the Bruins’ matinee later Friday. This past week-and-a-game has included many fun moments, including a new top team in the league, as you’ve already noticed. Phoenix has charged forward, one point away from Detroit for the West’s [...]

By ⋅ November 20, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Pat Burns, the head coach of the Boston Bruins from 1997-2000, passed away on November 19, 2010, at the age of 58 after a battle with lung cancer. The three-time Jack Adams Award-winner coached four different NHL teams over 14 seasons, accumulating a 501-350-161-14 record and a Stanley Cup Final victory in 2003 with the [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 6

By ⋅ November 18, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The red-hot Capitals (70 goals, by the way), show no signs of stopping anytime soon, especially when they’re gunning for another President’s Trophy. Though the Red Wings are making a challenge. And Boston’s doing quite well, when they’re on the road, anyway. Buffalo’s making a push to become relevant again, while St Louis is slipping. [...]

Habs Top Bruins 3-1, Rask Still Winless

By ⋅ November 12, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

With first place on the line Thursday night, the Bruins ran into a hot goaltender, and paid the price. Montreal’s Carey Price stopped 34 of Boston’s 35 shots to lead the Canadiens to a 3-1 win, and to the top of the Northeast Division of the NHL. Less than 24 hours after their rousing third-period [...]
