Bruins Top Lightning, Get a Critical 2 Points

By ⋅ March 27, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Entering Tuesday’s game, I didn’t know what to expect as the Bruins were playing a team that beat them 6-1 earlier in the month. In that game, the Bruins got some inconsistent goaltending play from both Marty Turco and Tim Thomas. Turco started the game and was shortly pulled in the first period. Tim Thomas came [...]

Turco & Thomas Awful; Bruins Struck by Lightning 6-1

By ⋅ March 13, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s Turco Time! Kinda sounds like Tuukka Time, right? Well, that’s where the similarities end. New acquisition Marty Turco, in his first start for the Bruins, allowed three goals within the first five minutes of the game, and four overall in the first period on just 12 shots, to send the Bruins to their third straight [...]

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 [...]

Lightning Outshine Sloppy Bruins 5-3

By ⋅ January 17, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Bruins (29-13-1) were looking to follow up their shootout win on Monday night as they visited the slumping Lightning. Unfortunately a lack of defensive effort across the table instead led them to an awful 5-3 loss to Tampa Bay, who had been losers of seven consecutive games. The smallest of bright spots in the [...]

Video: Johnny Boychuck Slapshot Hits Steven Stamkos in Face, Causes Broken Nose?

By ⋅ May 28, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Lightning winger Steven Stamkos was the recipient of a hard slapshot to the face in the second period off the stick of Johnny Boychuk (the puck was redirected off the stick of Martin St. Louis). Stamkos is a hockey player though, and remained in the game despite a disgusting deep gash on his nose. Despite [...]

The Tampa Bay Lightning held the Boston Bruins to just eight shots in the second period of Monday’s Game 5 of the Eastern Conference Finals at the TD Garden. The Bruins only needed two.

It had to end some time, and unfortunately, that end came on Tuesday night in Ottawa. Now, the Bruins (37-19-7) return home to TD Garden from their season-long six-game road trip, to host the high-flying Tampa Bay Lightning (37-19-7) this evening. 6-0-0. Looks pretty nice, doesn’t it?

Ice Breakers: Bruins-Lightning, Tuesday December 28th

By ⋅ December 28, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Don’t look now, but the Boston Bruins (19-11-4) are in first place atop the Northeast Division! Well, tied with Montreal, but they have two games in hand on the Habs, so the B’s have the top spot technically to themselves. The same can be said for tonight’s opponent, with the Tampa Bay Lightning (21-10-5) also [...]

Stamkos Scores 20th Goal, Bolts Beat Bruins 3-1

By ⋅ November 22, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The Tampa Bay Lightning handed the Bruins just their second road loss of the season Monday night, winning handily over Boston, 3-1 at St. Pete Times Forum. Honestly, this game wasn’t even as close as the score may indicate, as the ‘Ning took it to the B’s, especially in the second period. Tampa was far [...]

Lightning ‘Power’ Their Way Past Bruins

By ⋅ March 26, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Like the old saying goes “you plan a pretty picnic but you can’t predict the weather.” That saying fit perfectly Thursday night when the Boston Bruins took on the Tampa Bay Lightning because it was all Lightning, all night. It was also Steven Stamkos all night as he had two goals for the game and [...]

Fresh off two huge wins over New York and Atlanta, the Bruins (33-27-12) will hope to keep their winning juices flowing tonight at the Garden when they open up a three-game homestand against the Tampa Bay Lightning (29-32-12).
