Which Is Better? Playoff Edition: NBA vs NHL

By ⋅ April 16, 2010 ⋅ One comment

With the Bruins dropping the puck on their run to the Stanley Cup Finals on Thursday night, and the Celtics ready to tip off against the Heat on their journey to grab title No. 18, I thought now would be a most appropriate time to partake in one of my favorite and most cliché sports [...]

NHL Trade Deadline is Complete: Bruins Fail Miserably

By ⋅ March 3, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The NHL’s 3 p.m. trade deadline came and went Wednesday afternoon, and unfortunately for Bruins fans, news of a major trade that would bring the team the offensive firepower they have lacked all season wouldn’t be heard all day long. Instead, teams from the top to the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings wheeled and [...]

Bruins Remaining Schedule By The Numbers

By ⋅ January 27, 2010 ⋅ One comment

With 51 games in the 2009-10 season already in the books, you have to imagine coach Claude Julien envisioned a playoff picture that was a bit brighter than the one his team is faced with at this point. Just one year ago at this time, Julien’s Bruins were sitting pretty atop the Eastern Conference standings, [...]

Is the Ice to Blame for Bruins’ Scoring Woes?

By ⋅ November 15, 2009 ⋅ One comment

On Friday’s team practice at Ristuccia Arena in Wilmington, the Boston Bruins began to discuss a topic they felt had gone unaddressed for too long. The topic didn’t concern Phil Kessel’s departure to Toronto, nor did it have anything to do with the absences of Marc Savard and Milan Lucic. It also had nothing to [...]

The Lost Boys on the Bruins

By ⋅ November 13, 2009 ⋅ 5 comments

The 2009-10 Boston Bruins haven’t gotten off to the start many prognosticators had predicted them to. Expectations were high after last season, and deservedly so. Last year’s incarnation of the Black and Gold experienced a banner year, finishing 1st in the Eastern Conference and advancing past the first round of the playoffs for the first time in more than a [...]

2009-10 NHL Eastern Conference Preview: Southeast Division

By ⋅ October 4, 2009 ⋅ One comment

The Southeast Division has to be considered the Washington’s division to lose this season, as their dominance should continue in the ’09-’10 season. Led by Alexander the Great, Washington is the clear class of the Southeast Division. Now, that doesn’t mean we won’t see other Southeast teams at the back of the playoff hunt, however. [...]

Nine of SoB’s finest will compete in the first annual NHL Pick ‘Em, which joins a long successful string of NFL, NBA, and MLB Pick ‘Ems. I will admit, my NHL knowledge isn’t up to snuff when compared to my knowledge of the other three major sports, but if there’s a game I can compete [...]

As Thursday night’s opening to the 2009-10 season nears, the hopes and expectations of Bruins fans everywhere continue to build. This is “the year.” After a surprisingly successful ’08-’09 season that saw the B’s finish the regular season sitting atop the Eastern Conference, visions of putting an end to the 37-year Cup drought here in [...]

Plenty of Blame To Go Around In Kessel Saga

By ⋅ September 20, 2009 ⋅ One comment

The Phil Kessel era in Boston has ended. Or “error,” as many close to the Bruins organization would have you believe. The mercurial winger is gone, sent packing in a trade to the Toronto Maple Leafs, and truth be told, there’s a whole lot of blame to go around in this one, on both sides [...]
