After a record-breaking 2010-2011 season in which he won the Conn Smythe and Vezina trophies, Tim Thomas was the goalie you wanted to have on your team. It didn’t matter if he faced seven shots or 70 shots; he would bring his A game night in and night out. His consistent play led the Bruins [...]

By ⋅ April 20, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

For the Boston Bruins to beat the Washington Capitals, at some point they’ll need to beat Braden Holtby.

Holtby Steps Up Again as Bruins Fall to Capitals in Double OT

By ⋅ April 14, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

When the Capitals two goaltenders Tomas Vokoun and Michal Neuvirth went down late in the season with injuries, most people thought the playoffs were practically over for them.

Then, when the Bruins were unable to get any goals by young Caps goalie Braden Holtby in regulation, you had to wonder if they’d ever score. [...]

Bruins Comeback Finishes Regular Season on High Note

By ⋅ April 7, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

It was a statistically meaningless game, but that didn’t stop the Bruins from pulling out the stops, especially late, to build up some needed momentum going into the postseason. Everything started out so close; in fact each team had 12 shots in a scoreless 1st period. Boston started to pick things up later on, especially [...]

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 [...]
