Penguins Win, But Bruins Salvage a Point

By ⋅ March 5, 2011 ⋅ One comment

It was an exciting game, with Matt Cooke booed out of the building as expected, and the Penguins won 3-2 in OT after the Bruins tied it late. The game lived up to its billing right away, with no score in the 1st Period and both teams getting some great chances denied. In between a [...]

Video: Shawn Thornton, Heidi Watney, Bobby Orr In Dropkick Murphys Music Video

By ⋅ March 4, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

When you say music and Boston, other than thinking about the band Boston, you must think about the Dropkick Murphy’s. In their latest jam called “Going Out In Style,” the music video features Bruins legend and SoB Hall of Famer Bobby Orr and enforcer Shawn Thornton, as well as cameo appearances by Kevin Youkilis and [...]

Bruins Win Insane War Against Habs

By ⋅ February 10, 2011 ⋅ 3 comments

I have never seen anything like that. There hasn’t been action that chaotic in Boston since the Royal Rumble 10 days prior. The final victory, 8-6, seemed more like something Adrian Gonzalez and Carl Crawford will put up in a few months. These two teams are supposed to be built on defense, but they scored [...]

Bruins Beat & Beat Up Dallas, 6-3

By ⋅ February 4, 2011 ⋅ 3 comments

In what was easily the most entertaining hockey game of the Bruins season thus far, Boston dropped the hammer on the Dallas Stars last night at the Garden, doubling up on Dallas, 6-3. The teams got the fireworks going early and often, with three fights in the first four seconds, and four bouts overall in [...]

Bruins Can’t Hold Off Tough Penguins Front

By ⋅ January 15, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

With such a tough schedule, you wondered how long the Bruins could keep it up. After such a crazy game against Philly, Pittsburgh let the Bruins back in the game, but won in the end 3-2. Boston opened with a flurry in the first minute, but couldn’t take the quick edge. They even got a [...]

Bruins-Wild History Worsens With Loss

By ⋅ January 7, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

After a hard-fought five-game road trip, the Boston Bruins returned to the TD Garden to take on a team that could be considered mediocre compared to the competition the Bruins faced as of late. But, the Bruins were unable to outscore the Minnesota Wild on Thursday night, falling 3-1. The Wild have never lost in Boston [...]

Bruins Take Division After First Shootout Win

By ⋅ December 27, 2010 ⋅ One comment

Boston never led in the game. They were 0-3 in shootouts on the season. But they were up against the lowly Panthers, and the Bruins finally were able to take control in a shootout and the Northeast Division by beating Florida 3-2 in said shootout. Both teams got double-digit shots on goal in each of [...]

Thornton Helps Bruins Thrash Atlanta 4-1

By ⋅ December 23, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Enforcer Shawn Thornton entered this season with 15 career goals, and had just one in 74 games last season. Simply put, his job on the ice regularly does not involve scoring…until now. Thornton scored his career-high sixth and seventh goals of the season (in just 33 games) to help lead the Bruins past the Thrashers [...]

Late Boston Penalty Turns Zero Toronto Points Into Two

By ⋅ December 4, 2010 ⋅ One comment

Boston was sailing on their way to another victory with just minutes remaining. But a late holding call on Patrice Bergeron allowed Toronto to get a major advantage and score with less than a minute to go, and eventually win the game in a shootout. What is it with Boston teams losing to Toronto teams [...]

Bruins Salvage Point From Improbable Comeback, But Fall 4-3 in Shootout

By ⋅ November 20, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The highs and lows of this game were worlds apart, and in the end, the Kings finally finished off the Bruins 4-3 in a shootout, leaving the Bruins to settle for a single point. That isn’t too bad, considering the Kings led 3-0 at one point. The game started with obvious omens that it would [...]

Lucic, Rask Shut Out Panthers

By ⋅ November 18, 2010 ⋅ One comment

A lot can happen in less than thirty seconds, especially in hockey. For the Bruins, they were able to collect three goals with less than five minutes left to go in the game to secure the win on Thursday night in Boston. Of course, they all came in the span of 24 seconds. Collecting his [...]

Bruins Fight Back, Beat Pens 7-4

By ⋅ November 11, 2010 ⋅ One comment

Never thought I’d see the day. Bruins getting smashed in the mouth right and left, down two goals and somehow come back to win by three? Just doesn’t seem right. After being down by two goals heading into the third period, the Pittsburgh Penguins were tossing the Bruins around all over the ice (and into [...]

Bruins Blow Three-Goal Comeback, Lose to Capitals 5-3

By ⋅ November 5, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

In a game worthy of many differing headlines, the visiting Boston Bruins lost 5-3 to the Washington Capitals after blowing a three-goal comeback late in the third period. Having beaten Washington 3-1 and 4-1 earlier this season, the Bruins entered the game overconfident and flat, recovered, but failed to keep up with the speedy Capitals. [...]

Thomas Not Immortal, Bruins Still Win

By ⋅ November 4, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

It wasn’t the best defensive stand, but with Ryan Miller out with lower body issues, the Bruins sprung out like a trap door spider to claim a 5-2 victory in Buffalo. Boston wasted no time going to work on the power play. The only thing was, it was Buffalo’s power play. With Michael Ryder in [...]

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 [...]
