By ⋅ January 28, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Thursday night the NHL All Star Draft happened in Ottawa. Zdeno Chara and Daniel Alfredsson captained the two teams selecting two All-Star rosters. Chara called the puck toss and won the first pick. Pavel Datsyuk was the first name called. Many people thought Chara would take Tim Thomas (though he did grab him in the second [...]

The 2012 All-Star game will be held in Ottawa on Jan. 29. The fantasy draft, meanwhile, will be held on the 26th. Zdeno Chara and home town hero Daniel Alfredsson will be selecting the teams.

Bruins Beat Leafs Again, Point Streak At 14 Games

By ⋅ December 4, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The last time the Bruins had a regulation loss (back on Oct. 29), the Red Sox were without a manager, Julian Edelman hadn’t been arrested yet, and the NBA was still in a lockout with no end in sight. That trend continued Saturday night, with the Bruins taking down the Maple Leafs for the fourth [...]

Bruins Finish November Unbeaten in Regulation With 6-3 Win Over Toronto

By ⋅ November 30, 2011 ⋅ One comment

Toronto came into the night riding a three game winning streak and had a one point lead over the Bruins, but Boston was too much for the Leafs and came away with a 6-3 win. Boston had control of the puck for most of the early portion of the first period until Rich Pervely went [...]

Thank You Kessel! Seguin’s Hat Trick Lifts Bruins Over Leafs

By ⋅ November 5, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

There’s something about Phil Kessel and the Toronto Maple Leafs that brings the best out of the Bruins, even if they got off to an early-season funk. The Maple Leafs lead the Northeast, and the Bruins are the cellar-dwellers, but that doesn’t seem to matter when the two teams take the ice. Behind the first [...]

Bruins Den: How About More Power Play Goals?

By ⋅ October 17, 2011 ⋅ One comment

Week 2 of the Bruins’ season is now in the books and it wasn’t a great time along the way. Two weeks in the books and only two wins to show for it isn’t the way you want to start your Stanley Cup defense and, after last weeks 1-2-0 record, it’s beginning to be clear [...]

Bruins Draft Dougie Hamilton at No. 9, Completing Kessel Trade

By ⋅ June 25, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

In what could become a completely lopsided trade (but can’t be classified that way yet), the Bruins selected in the lottery for the second straight season thanks to the Toronto Maple Leafs, who traded two first rounders and a second rounder in exchange for the enigmatic Phil Kessel back in 2009. Last year, the Bruins took Tyler [...]

The Bruins (43-23-10) will round out the month of March this evening, hosting Phil Kessel and the Toronto Maple Leafs (35-32-10) at TD Garden.

Kessel Powers Toronto Past Boston

By ⋅ February 16, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Sometimes it just takes a couple of games to prove your worth. For Phil Kessel, it took him almost a year to put some points on the board against his former team. The last time Kessel registered a point against the Boston Bruins was on March 9, 2010, when he was credited for an assist. [...]

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

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 [...]
