By ⋅ November 15, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

October was a weird month. A snowstorm ravaged the Northeast at the end of the month. The Red Sox somehow weren’t in the playoffs. The Stanley Cup Champion Boston Bruins started the season 3-7-0. Then, the calendar turned to November. OK, it’s still a weird month. Temperatures are unseasonably warm. The Red Sox lost Jonathan [...]

Bruins Mostly Flat in Loss in Montreal

By ⋅ October 29, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Boston’s highly disappointing start to the season continued Saturday in Montreal, as they fell 4-2 to the hated Habs.
