If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 5

By ⋅ November 11, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments

Tim Thomas has gone downhill fast, but so have the Penguins. With three games in hand, Boston can take the division if those games in hands are wins, and they keep pace with Washington otherwise. Or with just three points from those games, Boston can displace Montreal. Either way, they’ve got plenty of room to [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 4

By ⋅ November 4, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Oh how the mighty have fallen. Thanks to Boston, Buffalo is now the league’s worst team, and Nashville, #1 in the West last week, are down to #9. Pittsburgh is #8 in the East, and Toronto is starting to fall by the wayside. Plenty of teams are offensively gifted, plenty are defensively gifted, and others [...]

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 [...]

Bruins Drop Disappointing Home Game to Rangers

By ⋅ October 23, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Point-wise, the Bruins should be happy they haven’t played as many games as other teams, because they blew a tough game against the Rangers Saturday, 3-2. Passing was the theme of the evening for Boston, which at times led them to forget that you have to shoot the puck to score. New York jumped out [...]

Boston (4-1-0) looks to ride their current win streak to five games tonight at TD Garden, as they welcome in their Big Apple rivals, the New York Rangers (2-2-1), for an Original Six prime time battle. The Bruins are coming off back-to-back wins over a talented Washington Capitals team, with goalie Tim Thomas continuing to [...]

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 Maintain Grip on 8th Playoff Spot

By ⋅ March 21, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

In many respects, the Bruins’ season ended in Thursday’s 3-0 loss to the Penguins. While they won a fight against Matt Cooke as a form of retribution for Marc Savard’s season-ending concussion, they played some of the most uninspired hockey you’ll ever see in mustering only 17 shots on goal. How can a team fighting [...]

Ice Breakers: Bruins-Rangers, Sunday March 21st

By ⋅ March 21, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Fresh off a dismal performance Thursday against Matt Cooke and the Penguins, the Bruins (31-27-12) can’t sleep in today, as they host an early matinee game against Original 6 rival, the New York Rangers (31-31-9). With just three points separating these two teams for the last playoff spot in the East, it’s hard not to [...]

Video: Rangers Fan Proposes on Big Screen, is Rejected

By ⋅ February 15, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

At Madison Square Garden on Valentine’s Day (Sunday), the Rangers beat the Lightning 5-2, but at least two Rangers fans left the arena unhappy. A man named Nick proposed to his girlfriend, Melissa, on the big screen at the Garden. The message on the scoreboard read, “Melissa, will you be my Blueshirt bride? Love, Nick.” [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 17

By ⋅ January 27, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

With around 30 games left to go in the season, much is still up in the air. The Lightning, #13 in the East, are only three points out of the playoffs. The Blues, #13 in the West, are only five out. Four East teams are tied for #6 through #9. The Hurricanes are no longer [...]

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 [...]

SoB NHL Power Rankings 1-17-10

By ⋅ January 17, 2010 ⋅ One comment

With another two weeks gone, it’s time for SoB’s third NHL power rankings. Our usual four experts selected their picks, and three also picked teams that, by next time, will have shot up the NHL standings and fallen from grace. For the second time in a row, two teams dropped from the rankings. The race [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 15

By ⋅ January 13, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Over the past week, the seeding has been jumbled up, making for some interesting series. The top seeds, just like all the others, are still very much up for grabs. The Sharks and Blackhawks are fighting for the honor out west, while the Devils are building a bit of a lead in the East, though [...]

Battered Bruins Struggle to Score Again, Lose 3-1

By ⋅ January 10, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

With word that the team has lost center Marc Savard and forward Byron Bitz for an extended period time, the Bruins face an up-hill battle over the next couple months. With the 2010 Winter Olympics in February, the league’s schedule becomes tighter heading toward the big event, which means 3-4 games per week. That’s not [...]

By ⋅ January 9, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The Bruins (22-14-7) and New York Rangers (21-17-6) will skate at TD Garden in a Saturday matinee of Original Six proportions. These two teams faced each other earlier this week in New York, with the Blue Shirts escaping with a 3-2 victory after blowing a two-goal lead. Bruins Injury Woes Boston had three games so [...]
