David Krejci Demoted to Third Line Center

By ⋅ February 7, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Bruins fans have gotten use to seeing David Krejci centering a line with Milan Lucic and Nathan Horton on his wings. With Horton out of the line up due to a concussion, Rich Peverley jumped up to fill his spot. The first and only game that the Lucic-Krejci-Peverley played together was a loss against Pittsburgh, all three [...]

Bruins’ Fourth Line Carries Team Past Devils

By ⋅ January 19, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Good things come to those who wait. The Boston Bruins waited five games to get back Brad Marchand. They waited two games to get back Rich Peverley. And they waited 63 minutes Thursday night before finally solving the New Jersey Devils’ stout defense and even more stout goalie, Martin Brodeur. Once the waiting period ended, [...]

Lightning Outshine Sloppy Bruins 5-3

By ⋅ January 17, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Bruins (29-13-1) were looking to follow up their shootout win on Monday night as they visited the slumping Lightning. Unfortunately a lack of defensive effort across the table instead led them to an awful 5-3 loss to Tampa Bay, who had been losers of seven consecutive games. The smallest of bright spots in the [...]

Bruins Explode in Third Period, Rally Past Jets

By ⋅ January 10, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Bruins came into their Tuesday night game with the Winnipeg Jets (20-16-5) looking to get back into the win column after a rough game and loss to the rival Vancouver Canucks on Saturday evening. They were without Brad Marchand, who received a controversial and highly publicized 5-game suspension for his hit on Sami Salo. [...]

Bruins Smother Flames With Nine Goals, Twelve Point-Scoring Players

By ⋅ January 5, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

As a young boy, I played on a recreation-league soccer team in Brookline, Mass. We weren’t very good, but I liked the team’s name: the Flames. I’m pretty sure we could’ve given the Boston Bruins a better game than the Calgary Flames gave them Thursday night at TD Garden. Patrice Bergeron and Nathan Horton each [...]

Bruins Top Brodeur, Devils 6-1

By ⋅ January 4, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Bruins  have been so good this season, they lead the NHL in goals per game (3.43), goals allowed per game (1.91), and goal differential (+60). Simply put, they are the best team in the NHL. That’s why their 4-2 loss last Saturday against the Stars was so surprising, though it is impossible (except in [...]

Sputtering Bruins End Losing Streak in Columbus

By ⋅ December 10, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

It took a while to get on track in this game and the past few games, but the Boston Bruins finally started a new winning streak in Columbus, taking the win 5-3. Starting the game, it looked like Boston’s losing streak would be pushed to three games; just 5:46 in, the Blue Jackets took the [...]

Bruins Get Trapped in Winnipeg, Fall to Jets 2-1

By ⋅ December 6, 2011 ⋅ One comment

Boston returned to Winnipeg for the first time since 1995 and The Jets spoiled the return with a 2-1 win over the Bruins. The Bruins took a four game winning streak into tonight’s game in Winnipeg looking to beat a team riding a two game winning streak. It was a tough game for Boston playing [...]

Bruins Beat Leafs Again, Point Streak At 14 Games

By ⋅ December 4, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The last time the Bruins had a regulation loss (back on Oct. 29), the Red Sox were without a manager, Julian Edelman hadn’t been arrested yet, and the NBA was still in a lockout with no end in sight. That trend continued Saturday night, with the Bruins taking down the Maple Leafs for the fourth [...]

Bruins Overcome Slow Start to Ground Jets

By ⋅ November 26, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Winnipeg made some early noise, but in the end, Boston came roaring back to defeat the Winnipeg Jets 4-2. Tim Thomas made a great 5-hole save early on during the first Winnipeg power play on a tough shot, but the Jets later came roaring through the neutral zone before Boston knew what hit them, resulting [...]

Bruins’ November Roll Continues Against Buffalo

By ⋅ November 12, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Boston just can’t be beaten lately. Not even close. On Saturday, their next victim was Buffalo. The Sabres lost 6-2, in a rough showing. It didn’t start that way, though. Boston had the majority of shots in the 1st, though it was Buffalo who struck first blood at 5:38 on a wrist shot from Thomas [...]

Triple-Double: Bruins Hang Six Goals on Oilers

By ⋅ November 10, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The Edmonton Oilers survived the Boston Bruins’ first two-goal period Thursday night at the TD Garden. They couldn’t survive the second. Or the third. The Bruins scored twice in all three periods Thursday, powering them to a 6-3 victory over the once-streaking Oilers. The Bruins have now scored 24 goals in their last four games.

Bruins Mostly Flat in Loss in Montreal

By ⋅ October 29, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

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 [...]

Strong Power Play Helps Bruins Dominate Maple Leafs

By ⋅ October 21, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

When Shawn Thornton threw down with Toronto Maple Leaf right winger Colton Orr early in the Bruins’ game Thursday night at the TD Garden, he sent a clear message: No more listless hockey. We’re fighting back. And boy, did they ever. Four different Bruins posted three-point games, and two first-period power play goals kick-started a [...]

Canes Storm Past Struggling B’s, 4-1

By ⋅ October 19, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Fights are fantastic… but goals would be even better. Fists flew Tuesday night at TD Garden, with the Bruins racking up 70 penalty minutes on the night, the most since last February’s famously fight-filled feud with the Montreal Canadiens. The frustration level of the men wearing the spoked B has apparently bubbled over, and instead [...]
