Bruins defenseman Zdeno Chara was a late scratch Saturday night against the Canadiens in Game 2 due to severe dehydration, and the B’s had an extremely difficult time adapting to life without their captain. The Canadiens, already armed with a 1-0 series lead, took advantage of the Chara-less B’s defense and scored two goals in [...]

With just four games left on the regular season docket, the Bruins (44-23-11) travel to “the other Garden” tonight to face off with Original Six rival, the New York Rangers (42-32-5). The Northeast Division title may now be wrapped up for the Black and Gold, but there’s still a lot up for grabs in terms [...]
Boston only needed one point to clinch the division, but they got two, winning at home 3-2 against the Atlanta Thrashers. Boston got started quickly, tucking the puck in for a goal during a skirmish in front of Atlanta’s net 4:34 in. But Atlanta answered on the power play later in the period, after Tuukka [...]
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. The Bruins are reeling after an embarrassing 5-2 loss Saturday night up in Toronto. Winners [...]
Come Thursday, the Bruins will hopefully be thankful for an undefeated 4-0 road trip, a trip that ends tonight when they skate at the XCEL Energy Center in St. Paul against the Minnesota Wild. Minnesota (8-12-2) currently occupies the cellar of the Western Conference, but they are coming off a win in their most recent [...]
The defensive corps performed well above expectations last season for the Eastern Conference-leading Bruins, and heading into this year’s campaign, the blue line brigade hopes to continue their dominating ways. After a season in which the B’s led the entire NHL with a strong 2.32 goals against average, the team is coming into this season [...]
As we turn the page on the calendar to September, we find ourselves exactly one month away from the opener for Boston’s ’09-’10 season, when Alex the Great and the Capitals visit the Garden to kick off what will be a year loaded with very high expectations for the Black and Gold. So, What’s With [...]
The Bruins need just two wins in the next five games to move onto the second round for the first time since 1999 after beating the arch rival Montreal Canadiens 5-1 on Saturday night. Marc Savard finished with two goals and two assists to help the Bruins dominate. The B’s were without Matt Hunwick, who [...]
The Bruins, consitently good all season, were in the midst of their first rough stretch in quite awhile. Losers of a season-high four straight games (0-2-2), the B’s were in desperate need of a win over medicore Carolina Hurricanes (28-25-5). Matt Cullen scored his 15th goal 11:03 into the first period to give the ‘Canes [...]
In a game where the two points were crucial, the Bruins decided to take a night off and were humiliated 8-2 in Montreal. You knew that this one would be ugly when, only 14 seconds in, the Habs scored a goal on an awful line change. The rest of the contest can be summed up [...]
A strong first period, combined with a highlights-reel-save from Glen Metropolit (you read it right) helped the Bruins in their efforts to beat the Devils, last night, by the score of 4-3. I must say that Kevin Weeks, the goaltender for the Devils, wasn’t very good, which helped the B’s to win this game. The [...]
