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 [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 3

By ⋅ October 28, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

After another week, things have been shaken up quite a bit. The conferences are now topped by the Predators and the Habs (or as we in Boston like to call them, Hab nots; let’s get that to catch on, people). The Devils continue to serve as basement dwellers, on pace for 41 points, as opposed [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 2

Another week in, and the Maple Leafs are going strong. The Blackhawks are back on top out West, though their three closest competitors all have three games in hand, down by three points. That’s 333, which when doubled, means the Devils are currently in last place in the entire NHL. They’re followed by Ottawa and [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 1

Isn’t the first week great? It’s the only time of a year that we get to see things like the Maple Leafs as the best team in the league. And it’s the one time of the year when Marty Brodeur is still working out the kinks, and the Bruins, just like the rest of the [...]

Lets Get Puck’d: NHL Eastern Conference Preview

By ⋅ October 6, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The puck drops on yet another NHL hockey season this week, and with so much anticipation and expectation building about our local Bruins team, it felt like quite the long summer having to wait it out before the B’s get their chance at erasing the painfully embarrassing playoff exit last spring. Boston has retooled their [...]

Bruins Pull Out Another Squeaker in New York

By ⋅ March 6, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

It wasn’t always pretty, but the Bruins pulled out a close 3-2 victory over the Islanders. The Bruins got an early power play, 1:27 in, but could do nothing with it. They largely did nothing despite many 1st period opportunities (they out-shot New York 16-4 in the period), but they did manage to strike first [...]

Ice Breakers: Bruins-Islanders, Saturday 3-6

By ⋅ March 6, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Winners of five or their last six, the Bruins (28-23-11) take their show on the road for seven straight games, beginning with this afternoon’s game on Long Island to face the slumping New York Islanders. The seven-game roadie marks the longest road trip since the ’03-’04 season for the B’s. Boston is coming off a [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 16

By ⋅ January 20, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

In the past week, the Devils have amassed a rare three-game losing streak, the Sabres are making their push, and the Bruins are failing miserably. The West has seen the Blackhawks taking another lead over the Sharks, whereas the Flames have lost four in a row and are in danger of losing their spot. In [...]

Bruins Offense Falls Short Against Islanders in OT

By ⋅ December 13, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

“We had so many chances,” David Krejci said. “We put the puck on the net. … We just couldn’t get any in the net. One bad break in overtime and it ended up in our end.” You get all the information you need about the Bruins-Islanders game Saturday night in the above quote from David [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 7

By ⋅ November 18, 2009 ⋅ 4 comments

Things are picking up. All five Atlantic teams are in line for playoff spots. Only one division features a point differential between 1st and 2nd of more than four points. Only one of the six Canadian teams is up for a slot. And to top it all off, five out of eight current series would [...]

Islanders Jump on Rask, Win Easily

By ⋅ November 17, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Matt Moulson scored his first goal of the night in the first period only six minutes into the game. He would later add two more, with one of them taken away and rightfully given to his teammate John Tavares. The Bruins struggled to stop the puck from going into their own net as they lost [...]

Ice Breakers: Bruins-Islanders, Monday 11-16

By ⋅ November 16, 2009 ⋅ One comment

The Bruins will look to avoid a three-game losing streak Monday night when they host high-flying rookie phenom John Tavares and the New York Islanders at the Garden this evening. It surely has been a while, but the Bruins are actually looking UP at the Islanders in the Eastern Conference standings. Entering play, New York [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 5

By ⋅ November 4, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

The season is well underway, and things are heating up. The Bruins have been back and forth, mostly back. Several teams that nobody expected to do well are doing just that. And to top it all off, all five teams in the Atlantic Division are in line for playoff spots, though only one Atlantic Division [...]

Bruins Rally From Deficit, Survive Islanders

By ⋅ October 11, 2009 ⋅ 4 comments

After the second period was over, it seemed like the Bruins were headed to their fourth straight lopsided affair to start the season, after a 4-1 loss opening night, a 7-2 win over the Hurricanes last Saturday, and a 6-1 loss to the Ducks in their previous game. Against the Islanders Saturday night at the [...]

Ice Breakers: Bruins-Islanders, Saturday 10-10

By ⋅ October 10, 2009 ⋅ Post a comment

Another ugly performance from the Bruins on Thursday kept the yo-yo start of Boston’s season going, as the 6-1 defeat at the hands of the Ducks made fans quickly forget the B’s drubbing of the ‘Canes the game before. At 1-2 now with two games left on this five-game season opening homestand, the Bruins hope [...]
