Penguins Win, But Bruins Salvage a Point

By ⋅ March 5, 2011 ⋅ One comment

It was an exciting game, with Matt Cooke booed out of the building as expected, and the Penguins won 3-2 in OT after the Bruins tied it late. The game lived up to its billing right away, with no score in the 1st Period and both teams getting some great chances denied. In between a [...]

Bruins Zap Lightning, Take Over 2nd In East

By ⋅ March 4, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Just two weeks ago, the Bruins had probably their ugliest loss of the season: a 4-3 defeat against the lowly Maple Leafs that came on the heels of back-to-back losses to the Detroit Red Wings. It was clear then that they were probably not good enough to make a deep run in the playoffs. Then, [...]

Rask, Horton Shut Out Senators

By ⋅ March 1, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Who would guess this team could be this good? With a six-game road trip spanning across Canada at the end of February and into March, there was no guessing the Boston Bruins would go a perfect 6-0, or was there? After making a couple of trades before the deadline, the B’s have been unstoppable. On [...]

Bruins Edge Edmonton For Fifth Straight Win, 3-2

By ⋅ February 28, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

After a huge 3-1 victory in Vancouver Saturday night over the league-leading Canucks, I wasn’t going to be surprised if the Bruins laid an egg on Sunday night against the lowly Edmonton Oilers. But instead, after falling behind early in the game, Tuukka Rask and the Bruins’ defense rose to the occasion, coming back to [...]

Ice Breakers: Bruins-Red Wings, Friday February 11th

By ⋅ February 11, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Wrapping up a rather successful and very eventful four-game homestand, the Bruins (31-16-7) will host their second straight Original Six franchise at TD Garden tonight, as they begin a home-and-home series with the Detroit Red Wings (32-16-6). With Wednesday’s win, the B’s gave themselves some breathing room atop the Northeast Division, now enjoying a three-point [...]

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 [...]

Ice Breakers: Bruins-Stars, Thursday February 3rd

By ⋅ February 3, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The Bruins (29-15-7) return home to icy, slushy Boston tonight to host the Pacific Division leading Dallas Stars (30-16-5) at TD Garden. These two teams are in very similar positions in their respective conference standings right now. Both teams sit atop their divisions, both teams have 65 points in the standings through 51 games each, [...]

Bruins Hold Off Canes 3-2

By ⋅ February 2, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Here in New England, we’re used to handling blizzards and “hurricanes.” For the Boston Bruins, they were able to score a pair of goals in the third period and weathered the storm the Carolina Hurricanes brought to the ice for the 3-2 victory. Daniel Paille scored his first goal of the season to put the [...]

Ice Breakers: Bruins-Hurricanes, Tuesday February 1st

By ⋅ February 1, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

With the All Star hoopla behind them, the Boston Bruins (28-15-7) will travel south to meet up with All Stars Tim Thomas and Zdeno Chara in Raleigh, as they prepare to face All Stars Eric Staal, Cam Ward, Jeff Skinner, and the rest of the Carolina Hurricanes (25-19-6) this evening. Thomas and Chara were featured [...]

2010-2011 Boston Bruins Midseason Report Card

By ⋅ January 31, 2011 ⋅ One comment

With 50 games in the books, the 2010-2011 Boston Bruins season has already past its halfway point. It seems like just yesterday that the team was over on their season-opening European trip, kicking off the season with a pair of games in Prague, splitting them with the Phoenix Coyotes. Months later, your hometown hockey squad [...]

Ryan Miller’s 38 Saves Lead Sabres Past Bruins, 4-2

By ⋅ January 21, 2011 ⋅ One comment

The Bruins fell to a hungrier, more desperate Buffalo Sabres team Thursday night, failing to protect two separate one-goal leads and eventually losing to their division rival, 4-2 at the Garden. Boston’s energy and effort was flat for much of the contest, especially down the stretch. They opened up the scoring midway through the first [...]

Rask Up To The Task; B’s Top Toronto, 2-1

By ⋅ January 4, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The Bruins closed out their five-game road trip Monday night in Toronto, beating the Leafs 2-1 at Air Canada Centre, with the help of a stellar performance from Tuukka Rask. Rask, who was pulled after just 20 minutes in Saturday’s 7-6 shootout loss to the Sabres, stopped 36 shots against the Leafs, with exactly half [...]

Ice Breakers: Bruins-Maple Leafs, Monday January 3rd

By ⋅ January 3, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Wrapping up their season-high five-game road trip, the Bruins (20-11-6) travel north of the border to take on Phil Kessel and the Toronto Maple Leafs (14-19-4) this evening at the Air Canada Centre. You’d think scoring six goals would be enough for a win… and more often than not, you’d be correct. But that wasn’t [...]

Ice Breakers: Bruins-Thrashers, Thursday December 30th

By ⋅ December 30, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The Bruins (20-11-4) will wrap up 2010 tonight with their third stop on their five-city road trip, going up against a familiar foe, the Atlanta Thrashers (19-14-6). These two teams have headed in opposite directions since their meeting just one week ago. It was then when the B’s woke up from a 1-3-1 slump to [...]

Ice Breakers: Bruins-Islanders, Thursday December 9th

By ⋅ December 9, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The Bruins (15-8-3) continue their homestand at TD Garden this evening, hosting the worst team in the NHL, the New York Islanders (5-15-5). Things don’t get much worse for the Islanders and their fans, if they have any fans left. The team started with a surprising 4-1-2 mark after their first seven games, actually showing [...]
