2011 SoB Player of the Year | Tim Thomas

By ⋅ December 31, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s hard to argue with Tim Thomas being the Boston 2011 MVP. He won another Vezina, a Conn Smythe and set a save percentage record.

On June 15, the Boston Bruins faced their third Game 7 of the playoffs. It was the first one on the road, and the home team won all six previous games in the final round. However, Vancouver struggled at home all series long and never bothered to show up in Boston. Boston took advantage and [...]

2011 SoB Story of the Year: Red Sox’ September Collapse

By ⋅ December 29, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Starting in September, the Red Sox led Tampa Bay by nine games for the Wildcard. With Boston’s superstar-studded roster, nothing could go wrong, right? Wrong. Tampa just kept on winning, while Boston kept on losing. A steady diet of beer and fried chicken will do that. Boston found themselves tied with Tampa on the season’s [...]

SoB Game of the Year: Super Bowl XLII

By ⋅ December 31, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Boston teams played well over 300 games (the actual math would take way too long to calculate) during the 2008 calendar year, and the Sports of Boston staff was asked to choose the Game of the Year. Many chose games in which Boston teams were victorious (which happened a lot in 2008), but the clear [...]
