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 [...]

By ⋅ March 23, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

There had been some signs that the Bruins had gotten past the roughest stretch of the season. They may be past that point still and Thursday night’s game was just a bad game. The Sharks scored first and went on to win 2-1. The Bruins only had 17 shots on goal, a season low. Tim Thomas [...]

Bruins Finally Win Again

By ⋅ March 17, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The horrid losing streak is finally over thanks to a 3-2 shootout victory over Philadelphia, but Philly still nearly pulled out an impressive victory. And with Boston so used to giving up the first two goals lately, it was refreshing to actually see Boston get on the board first for a change, thanks to Chris [...]

By Blaming Dim Lights at MSG, Tim Thomas Just Made Excuses… Again

By ⋅ March 14, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Yes, Tim, the lights at Madison Square Garden are different than in any other arena in the NHL.  Yes, Tim, the reason Henrik Lundqvist was able to thwart the Bruins offensive attack may have been because he’s played at MSG all season and has gotten used to this unfavorable lighting. But no, Tim, the lighting [...]

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 [...]

Penguins Handle and Hurt Bruins 5-2

By ⋅ March 11, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Bruins once again started the game slow getting down three goals in the first period. Tim Thomas didn’t look sharp again playing in back to back days. Marty Turco made his Bruins debut in relief of Thomas and played well considering the situation. Injuries continue to hurt the Bruins, Adam McQuaid, Max Sauve, and [...]

Bruins Comeback Falls Short, Lose 4-3 to Washington

By ⋅ March 10, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Maybe three consecutive victories is just a little too much to ask for from the Boston Bruins. On Saturday the first attempt at that feat in 2012 came up short, as the banged up team suffered a 4-3 loss to the Washington Capitals. 1st Period There wasn’t a great feel in at the TD Garden [...]

Two-Goal Third Gives Bruins First Winning Streak Since January

By ⋅ March 8, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Boston Bruins have rarely played “complete” hockey over the last two months, alternating losses with frustrating, indecisive victories. And on those few occasions when they submitted a complete game, they never followed it with a second. No more. The Bruins capitalized on two goals in the final period Thursday night at TD Garden, beating [...]
