Bruins Finish November Unbeaten in Regulation With 6-3 Win Over Toronto

By ⋅ November 30, 2011 ⋅ One comment

Toronto came into the night riding a three game winning streak and had a one point lead over the Bruins, but Boston was too much for the Leafs and came away with a 6-3 win. Boston had control of the puck for most of the early portion of the first period until Rich Pervely went [...]

Bruins Den: (Winning Streak) Back At One

By ⋅ November 28, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Well, all good things – Thanksgiving vacation, lipsmacking leftovers, and winning streaks – must end, right? Fortunately, some things start right back up again (alright, vacation and leftovers have a few weeks until Christmas), like the Boston Bruins’ (14-7-1, 29 points) winning streak, which is back at one and looking to rise with this week’s [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 7

By ⋅ November 25, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Thanksgiving is now over, and things are starting to get real interesting. The Bruins are back in control of the Northeast. Pittsburgh is losing its grip. Florida and Minnesota continue to shine. Minnesota has a solid lead in their division, but all the others are just one win away from changing hands. In fact, the [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 6

By ⋅ November 17, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s a week before Thanksgiving, and things are getting close. Four divisions are led by at most two points, while another is led by three. Pretty much everyone except the Islanders and Blue Jackets is still well in the hunt. Virtually no seed has any amount of safety at the moment, so let’s look at [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 5

By ⋅ November 10, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Another week down, and the standings are starting to get shaken up. Even the Bruins are improving, though there’s still a long way to go to solidify a shot at a seed. So far, only the Stars have a multiple-game lead in their division. And for that matter, only the Blue Jackets are dead in [...]

Thank You Kessel! Seguin’s Hat Trick Lifts Bruins Over Leafs

By ⋅ November 5, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

There’s something about Phil Kessel and the Toronto Maple Leafs that brings the best out of the Bruins, even if they got off to an early-season funk. The Maple Leafs lead the Northeast, and the Bruins are the cellar-dwellers, but that doesn’t seem to matter when the two teams take the ice. Behind the first [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 4

By ⋅ November 3, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

We’re now a month into the hockey season, and the defending champs continue to disappoint. Toronto, Ottawa, Florida and Edmonton are all just a few examples of surprising teams early on. It’s still fairly crowded as far as playoff contenders go, though a few teams seem to be fading already. There’s still plenty of time [...]

Bruins Den: Struggling B’s Hear a BOO!

By ⋅ October 31, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Happy Halloween, Hub hockey fans! You need not look far for anything scary this year! Just check out the NHL standings, where you’ll find the defending Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins (3-7-0, 6 points) dead last in the Eastern Conference and second worst in the league (thanks to the Columbus Blue Jackets, who at 2-9-1 [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 3

By ⋅ October 27, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Another week into the season and we’re getting an early sense of who might pull ahead later, though it is still close. Every team now has at least one win, and Washington is the only perfect team left (the only one without any sort of loss, even). There continue to be several surprising teams, both [...]

Strong Power Play Helps Bruins Dominate Maple Leafs

By ⋅ October 21, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

When Shawn Thornton threw down with Toronto Maple Leaf right winger Colton Orr early in the Bruins’ game Thursday night at the TD Garden, he sent a clear message: No more listless hockey. We’re fighting back. And boy, did they ever. Four different Bruins posted three-point games, and two first-period power play goals kick-started a [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 2

By ⋅ October 20, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Another week has gone by, and more surprising teams are poking their heads in the race. While every has at least a point, only two remain perfect. Already, all but eight teams have been involved in shootouts. It’s been a rough start for both participants in last year’s Stanley Cup Finals. That means the field [...]

Bruins Den: How About More Power Play Goals?

By ⋅ October 17, 2011 ⋅ One comment

Week 2 of the Bruins’ season is now in the books and it wasn’t a great time along the way. Two weeks in the books and only two wins to show for it isn’t the way you want to start your Stanley Cup defense and, after last weeks 1-2-0 record, it’s beginning to be clear [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 1

By ⋅ October 13, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The NHL season is underway. Boston has begun their title defense, and Winnipeg has ushered in their new team. And Philly and Pittsburgh have picked up where they left off last season, accumulating large amounts of points and leaving the rest of the Atlantic Division in their wake. Vancouver has been active, but doesn’t quite [...]

Once More, Bruins Can’t Figure Out Maple Leafs

By ⋅ April 1, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

In trying to keep pace with Philadelphia and Washington, Boston instead couldn’t keep pace with Toronto, losing at home 4-3 in a shootout. The two teams were relatively even in the 1st Period, with the only goal coming on a wrist shot from Toronto’s Luke Schenn. Toronto also out-shot Boston by one in the period, [...]

Ice Breakers: Bruins-Maple Leafs, Thursday March 31st

By ⋅ March 31, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The Bruins (43-23-10) will round out the month of March this evening, hosting Phil Kessel and the Toronto Maple Leafs (35-32-10) at TD Garden. Boston made quick work of the defending champion Blackhawks Tuesday night, shutting them out 3-0 led by yet another stellar performance from goalie Tim Thomas. It was Thomas’s ninth shutout of [...]
