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 [...]

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.

It’s Been Target Practice for the Boston Sports Media

By ⋅ February 15, 2012 ⋅ 6 comments

This is “The Dead Zone” in the sports calendar. It begins the Monday after the Super Bowl and usually ends with the opening tip-off of March Madness. Included in that Dead Zone is the charade of pitchers and catchers playing long toss in late February while local media members take advantage of the timing to [...]

By ⋅ February 14, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

If love was in the air on Valentine’s Day at the TD Garden Tuesday night, the Bruins weren’t feeling it.

What We Learned This Week: What Could Possibly Go Wrong?

By ⋅ February 13, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

Week of 2/5 – 2/12/12 This was a week filled with curious and controversial decisions like Kevin Youkilis popping the question to Tom Brady’s sister, Rob Gronkowski partying like he’s on the Jersey Shore right after losing the Super Bowl, and Tom Brady’s wife publicly blaming the receivers for blowing the big game. What could go [...]

By ⋅ February 10, 2012 ⋅ 2 comments

In the middle of a not-so-great hockey streak by the Bruins, and only a couple of weeks away from the trade deadline, Tim Thomas and the media have had another misunderstanding.

Sabres Crush Both Rask and Thomas in Buffalo

By ⋅ February 9, 2012 ⋅ 2 comments

The Buffalo Sabres played Wednesday’s game as a team desperately needing wins to keep its playoff hopes alive should: intelligent but physical, controlled but aggressive. The Boston Bruins played as a team with a chance at the Eastern Conference’s top spot should not: lazy, disorganized, brainless. Who do you think won? The Sabres scored twice [...]

Bruins Continue to Slide, Lose to Penguins 2-1

By ⋅ February 4, 2012 ⋅ Post a comment

The Bruins have had a terrific season thus far, entering Saturday afternoon’s matinee with the Pittsburgh Penguins only three points out of first place in the Eastern Conference.
