Savard Returns, Bruins Dominate Lightning in 8-1 Win

By ⋅ December 3, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The Boston Bruins welcomed back center Marc Savard with an 8-1 win over the Tampa Bay Lightning on Thursday night. The Bruins scored first in Wednesday’s 3-0 win in Philadelphia, and did so again on Thursday, meaning they are now 10-0-0 when scoring first. Savard, who missed 23 games due to post-concussion syndrome, played 21 shifts in [...]

By ⋅ December 2, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Fresh off their 3-0 shutout win over the Flyers less than 24 hours ago, the Bruins (13-8-2) return home Thursday evening to face off with Steven Stamkos and the Tampa Bay Lightning (14-8-3). The win Wednesday night marked the fifth shutout of the season already for goalie Tim Thomas, who put up an impressive 41-save [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 8

By ⋅ December 2, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

After two months, we’re starting to see some separation in the East, but no such luck in the West. Between eight and nine in the East is five points, but one in the West; even last place in the Pacific Division (San Jose) is just one win away from poking their nose into the race. [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 7

Welcome to a special Thanksgiving week edition of the NHL’s “If the Playoffs…” And be sure to enjoy the Bruins’ matinee later Friday. This past week-and-a-game has included many fun moments, including a new top team in the league, as you’ve already noticed. Phoenix has charged forward, one point away from Detroit for the West’s [...]

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 [...]

By ⋅ November 22, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments

The Bruins (11-5-2) hit the Sunshine State for a pair of pre-Turkey Day games this week, starting Monday night at the St. Pete Times Forum against the Tampa Bay Lightning (11-7-2). Boston had their three-game win streak snapped Saturday night, losing to the L.A. Kings in a shootout 4-3. The Kings opened up a 3-0 [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 6

By ⋅ November 18, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The red-hot Capitals (70 goals, by the way), show no signs of stopping anytime soon, especially when they’re gunning for another President’s Trophy. Though the Red Wings are making a challenge. And Boston’s doing quite well, when they’re on the road, anyway. Buffalo’s making a push to become relevant again, while St Louis is slipping. [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 5

By ⋅ November 11, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments

Tim Thomas has gone downhill fast, but so have the Penguins. With three games in hand, Boston can take the division if those games in hands are wins, and they keep pace with Washington otherwise. Or with just three points from those games, Boston can displace Montreal. Either way, they’ve got plenty of room to [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 4

By ⋅ November 4, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Oh how the mighty have fallen. Thanks to Boston, Buffalo is now the league’s worst team, and Nashville, #1 in the West last week, are down to #9. Pittsburgh is #8 in the East, and Toronto is starting to fall by the wayside. Plenty of teams are offensively gifted, plenty are defensively gifted, and others [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 3

By ⋅ October 28, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

After another week, things have been shaken up quite a bit. The conferences are now topped by the Predators and the Habs (or as we in Boston like to call them, Hab nots; let’s get that to catch on, people). The Devils continue to serve as basement dwellers, on pace for 41 points, as opposed [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 2

By ⋅ October 21, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments

Another week in, and the Maple Leafs are going strong. The Blackhawks are back on top out West, though their three closest competitors all have three games in hand, down by three points. That’s 333, which when doubled, means the Devils are currently in last place in the entire NHL. They’re followed by Ottawa and [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 1

By ⋅ October 14, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Isn’t the first week great? It’s the only time of a year that we get to see things like the Maple Leafs as the best team in the league. And it’s the one time of the year when Marty Brodeur is still working out the kinks, and the Bruins, just like the rest of the [...]

Lets Get Puck’d: NHL Eastern Conference Preview

By ⋅ October 6, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The puck drops on yet another NHL hockey season this week, and with so much anticipation and expectation building about our local Bruins team, it felt like quite the long summer having to wait it out before the B’s get their chance at erasing the painfully embarrassing playoff exit last spring. Boston has retooled their [...]

Tim Thomas Trade Winds Blowing, Destination Unknown

By ⋅ June 22, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

The action on the ice has cooled off around the NHL, but this week the focus shifts off the ice, as a busy week in hockey is headlined by Tuesday’s Hall of Fame inductees announcement, Wednesday night’s awards ceremony in Las Vegas, and this weekend’s NHL entry draft in Los Angeles. Follow that up with [...]

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 [...]
