Alex Freaking Burrows. The Vancouver Canucks could not have asked for a better night for their little biter in their 3-2 overtime win against the Boston Bruins Saturday night. Burrows was involved in all three of the Canuck goals, tallying up two goals and an assist on Hart Trophy finalist Daniel Sedin’s 9th playoff goal [...]
The regular season is over and our Boston Bruins proved that they can hang with the big boys in the conference, finishing with the #3 seed. Now it’s time for the playoffs, and their first opponent…the Montreal Canadiens. I am a proud American and love my country. I am forever thankful to my forefathers in [...]
Every Bruins fan’s favorite ad campaign, which has brought viewers hilarious commercials over and over again, is back. This time, however, the Bear is bringing some bite. The newest “Hockey Rules” commercial, viewable at the bottom of this page, features the Bear in a women’s bathroom as he spackles a column and stares angrily into [...]
On Wednesday, we showed the first four things to watch for as the Bruins open camp. While the way the 2009-2010 Bruins season ended really stung, we are turning the page to a new era of Boston Bruins hockey. One way to get that started is with new talent, like Nathan Horton and Gregory Campbell. [...]
Is it too soon to talk about the Bruins yet, or is the sting of last spring’s playoff collapse still too painful to overcome? Personally, as tough as it may be to do, I say we turn the page to the next chapter: the 2010-11 NHL season. The B’s are off and running this month [...]
With the rising popularity of MMA, it is great to see states that once dismissed mixed martial arts as nothing more than barbaric bloodshed are now opening their doors to one of this country’s biggest draws in the world of sports. The city of Boston had never held a UFC event due to a lack of regulation in Massachusetts. [...]
Nobody likes a whiner. So I won’t start off this week’s “Couch Potato Report” whining about why there wasn’t a “C.P.R.” last week. I won’t tell you that my awkwardly big feet kicked the switch of my surge protector underneath my computer, powering down my PC and leaving my unsaved, nearly completed article left as [...]
It certainly wasn’t pretty, but it was exciting. It was chippy. It was physical. It was hard-fought. It was a huge win for the Boston Celtics, who evened their best-of-seven NBA Finals series with the Los Angeles Lakers at two games a piece, with a 96-89 victory at TD Garden in Boston on Thursday night. [...]
This game was over in the first quarter. This series was over and given a brilliant summation with just under 9 minutes in the first half, with an all-out hustle play by Rajon Rondo that would make Larry Bird proud, to dive and take the ball (and the series) away from Jason Williams and the [...]
“M-V-P! M-V-P! M-V-P!” The chants rained down for a more-than-deserving Rajon Rondo on Sunday afternoon at TD Garden, as he hit both of his free throws to put the finishing touches on a performance that will go down as one of the best in Celtics postseason history. Already the undoubted MVP for the team up [...]
You can’t help but acknowledge the irony. Amidst the celebration at TD Garden on Monday night, as the Boston Bruins took a commanding 2-0 lead in their best-of-seven semifinal series against the Philadelphia Flyers, The Standells’ “Love That Dirty Water” was blaring across the arena just like it would after any Bruins victory. But it [...]
The San Antonio Spurs (44-28) played like a team fighting for a playoff berth as they cruised past the Boston Celtics (47-26) 94-73 in front of a sellout crowd at the TD Garden on Sunday night. The Celtics, who have played well against Western Conference teams as of late, played a solid first quarter against [...]
On Friday’s team practice at Ristuccia Arena in Wilmington, the Boston Bruins began to discuss a topic they felt had gone unaddressed for too long. The topic didn’t concern Phil Kessel’s departure to Toronto, nor did it have anything to do with the absences of Marc Savard and Milan Lucic. It also had nothing to [...]
The Celtics didn’t disappoint in their home opener Wednesday night, never trailing the Charlotte Bobcats and opening up leads as big as 33 points en route to a lopsided 92-59 victory at the TD Garden. The biggest question going into the contest was whether or not the Celtics’ legs would hold up after playing rival [...]
Oliver Wahlstrom, 9, who plays for the Portland Junior Pirates League in Maine, made a shot that would make even Alexander Ovechkin jealous. In a video shot for a TD Garden-Bruins promotion, Wahlstrom was participating in a shootout, when he hit the amazing trick shot. He got the puck on his stick, twirled around, and [...]
