If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 11

By ⋅ December 22, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Coming up on Christmas, many of the divisions are opening up a little more. However, the Pacific is in a three-way tie for the lead, so that looks like the race to watch for the moment. Boston is building up another winning streak, while Minnesota is on its way down. Chicago has taken advantage of [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 10

The NHL season is a full 10 weeks old. The Devils, Predators and Sharks all are making moves, while Pittsburgh is among the notable teams sliding. A few divisions are starting to open up, leaving the other teams in them to solidify a Wildcard spot. Only one division is led by two points, and even [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 6

By ⋅ November 17, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s a week before Thanksgiving, and things are getting close. Four divisions are led by at most two points, while another is led by three. Pretty much everyone except the Islanders and Blue Jackets is still well in the hunt. Virtually no seed has any amount of safety at the moment, so let’s look at [...]

Bruins Score 4 More Goals, Win 6th Straight Game

By ⋅ November 15, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

October was a weird month. A snowstorm ravaged the Northeast at the end of the month. The Red Sox somehow weren’t in the playoffs. The Stanley Cup Champion Boston Bruins started the season 3-7-0. Then, the calendar turned to November. OK, it’s still a weird month. Temperatures are unseasonably warm. The Red Sox lost Jonathan [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 3

By ⋅ October 27, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Another week into the season and we’re getting an early sense of who might pull ahead later, though it is still close. Every team now has at least one win, and Washington is the only perfect team left (the only one without any sort of loss, even). There continue to be several surprising teams, both [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 2

By ⋅ October 20, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Another week has gone by, and more surprising teams are poking their heads in the race. While every has at least a point, only two remain perfect. Already, all but eight teams have been involved in shootouts. It’s been a rough start for both participants in last year’s Stanley Cup Finals. That means the field [...]

Bruins Drop Season Finale, Turn Focus to Montreal

By ⋅ April 10, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

In their final game of the regular season, the Bruins lost 3-2 to the Devils after taking some of the game off, but since 15 of the 16 seeds had already been wrapped up (including all eight East slots), they could afford to get the extra rest. New Jersey got on the board just 1:47 [...]

Chara Helps Bruins to 4-1 Win Over Devils

By ⋅ March 22, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Consistency is the key in the NHL. For some teams, it’s like getting up in the morning. For others, it’s like trying to ride a bike again, but you just can’t stay up. The Boston Bruins have seemed like the latter. The team has looked like a Stanley Cup caliber team at times, but then [...]

Hoping that a little home cooking will help the team get back to some winning ways, the Bruins (39-22-10) kick off a three-game homestand tonight on Causeway Street when they host the resurgent New Jersey Devils (34-34-4) at TD Garden.

Thomas Outclasses Brodeur, Bruins Beat Devils

By ⋅ November 16, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

In a bit of a skid (losers of two straight overall and three straight at home), the Bruins needed to win on Monday night against the New Jersey Devils, even though it is just November. “I personally approached it as a must-win, and I think the team did, too,” Tim Thomas said. “We needed to [...]

Ice Breakers: Bruins-Devils, Monday November 15th

By ⋅ November 15, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The Bruins (8-5-1) will try to snap out of their recent funk tonight at TD Garden, when they host the very funky New Jersey Devils (5-10-2), a team that is off to one of their worst starts in franchise history. Boston’s coming off their first shutout of the season, on the wrong end of a [...]

Bruins Take Care of Devils 4-1

By ⋅ October 17, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

I do believe that the someone told the Bruins to work on their offense this off-season and so far it’s working. After their first two regular-season games over in Prague against the Phoenix Coyotes, the B’s came back to North America and came back strong. Boston had it’s first game in the States in New [...]
