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.

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.

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.

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 [...]

Thomas Relieves Injured Rask, Falters Against Islanders

By ⋅ March 3, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Boston Bruins have needed no one’s help to play lazy, lackadaisical, .500 hockey since mid-January. But Saturday afternoon against the New York Islanders, they got a little help from the referees. A possibly uncalled icing penalty late in the third led to a tie-breaking goal by center John Tavares, and Evgeni Nabokov saved 32 [...]

Bruins Survive Late Meltdown to Down Senators

By ⋅ February 25, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

It was a tough start and finish for Boston, but they had enough meat in the middle to finish off the win in Ottawa, 5-3. Boston did get one chance with immediate pressure, but did nothing with it except give up pressure themselves. Erik Karlsson took advantage, surprising Tim Thomas just 1:10 into the game. [...]

Bruins Held Scoreless Against Wild for 2nd Straight Loss

By ⋅ February 19, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Bruins failed to score in a 2-0 loss to Minnesota. With Rich Peverley and Nathan Horton out with injuries, the offense struggled again.
