Two streaks came to an end last night on Long Island, as the B’s snapped their longest losing streak of the season at three, beating the red hot New York Islanders at Nassau Coliseum, 6-3. They also ended New York’s season-long four-game win streak. The Boston win kicked off their six-game road trip in grand [...]

Red Wings Top Rask, Bruins 6-1

By ⋅ February 12, 2011 ⋅ 3 comments

It was Tuukka Time at the Garden on Friday night in the first of a home-and-home with another one of the Original Six: the Detroit Red Wings. If this were 2010, Tuukka Time was most of the time after the youngster strangled hold of the starting job over what seemed to be the aging Tim [...]

By ⋅ February 4, 2011 ⋅ 3 comments

In what was easily the most entertaining hockey game of the Bruins season thus far, Boston dropped the hammer on the Dallas Stars last night at the Garden, doubling up on Dallas, 6-3. The teams got the fireworks going early and often, with three fights in the first four seconds, and four bouts overall in [...]

By ⋅ January 31, 2011 ⋅ One comment

With 50 games in the books, the 2010-2011 Boston Bruins season has already past its halfway point. It seems like just yesterday that the team was over on their season-opening European trip, kicking off the season with a pair of games in Prague, splitting them with the Phoenix Coyotes. Months later, your hometown hockey squad [...]

Ryan Miller’s 38 Saves Lead Sabres Past Bruins, 4-2

By ⋅ January 21, 2011 ⋅ One comment

The Bruins fell to a hungrier, more desperate Buffalo Sabres team Thursday night, failing to protect two separate one-goal leads and eventually losing to their division rival, 4-2 at the Garden. Boston’s energy and effort was flat for much of the contest, especially down the stretch. They opened up the scoring midway through the first [...]

By ⋅ January 20, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Game number 47 of the season for the Bruins (26-13-7) kicks off tonight at TD Garden, when the B’s host a divisional foe, the Buffalo Sabres (20-20-5). These two teams have split the season series so far this year, with each team prevailing twice over the other through four meetings. The teams got 2011 off [...]

Bruins Can’t Hold Off Tough Penguins Front

By ⋅ January 15, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

With such a tough schedule, you wondered how long the Bruins could keep it up. After such a crazy game against Philly, Pittsburgh let the Bruins back in the game, but won in the end 3-2. Boston opened with a flurry in the first minute, but couldn’t take the quick edge. They even got a [...]

Bruins Avoid Skid, Beat Penguins Without Sid the Kid

By ⋅ January 10, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

Might as well take advantage when possible. For the Bruins, they were able to capitalize on a Pittsburgh Penguins team that was lacking Sidney Crosby. How did they do it you may ask? The same way they got beat just two nights earlier against the Montreal Canadiens. Down by two goals late in the third [...]

Ice Breakers: Bruins-Penguins, Monday January 10th

By ⋅ January 10, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The Bruins (21-12-7) will look to rebound from Saturday night’s embarrassing loss this evening, when they skate with the Sidney Crosby-less Pittsburgh Penguins (26-13-4). The B’s technically still sit atop the Northeast Division standings, tied with Montreal at 49 points, but with two games in hand on the Habs. Boston had their chance to create [...]

Bruins-Wild History Worsens With Loss

By ⋅ January 7, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

After a hard-fought five-game road trip, the Boston Bruins returned to the TD Garden to take on a team that could be considered mediocre compared to the competition the Bruins faced as of late. But, the Bruins were unable to outscore the Minnesota Wild on Thursday night, falling 3-1. The Wild have never lost in Boston [...]

Ice Breakers: Bruins-Wild, Thursday January 6th

By ⋅ January 6, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The Bruins (21-11-6) will return home to TD Garden tonight for their first home game of the new year, as they host the Minnesota Wild (19-15-5). Boston wrapped up a season-long five-game road trip Monday with a 2-1 win over the Maple Leafs north of the border. The Wild are also coming off a 2-1 [...]

Rask Up To The Task; B’s Top Toronto, 2-1

By ⋅ January 4, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The Bruins closed out their five-game road trip Monday night in Toronto, beating the Leafs 2-1 at Air Canada Centre, with the help of a stellar performance from Tuukka Rask. Rask, who was pulled after just 20 minutes in Saturday’s 7-6 shootout loss to the Sabres, stopped 36 shots against the Leafs, with exactly half [...]

Ice Breakers: Bruins-Maple Leafs, Monday January 3rd

By ⋅ January 3, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Wrapping up their season-high five-game road trip, the Bruins (20-11-6) travel north of the border to take on Phil Kessel and the Toronto Maple Leafs (14-19-4) this evening at the Air Canada Centre. You’d think scoring six goals would be enough for a win… and more often than not, you’d be correct. But that wasn’t [...]

Bruins Drop Wild One in Shootout

By ⋅ January 1, 2011 ⋅ 4 comments

In a game that went back and forth more than Hamlet deciding whether or not to be, the Buffalo Sabres emerged with a 7-6, shootout win. In a battle of futility between some of the (supposedly) best goaltenders in the NHL, nobody could play defense very well, or at all. Andrew Ference started the scoring [...]

Ice Breakers: Bruins-Lightning, Tuesday December 28th

By ⋅ December 28, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Don’t look now, but the Boston Bruins (19-11-4) are in first place atop the Northeast Division! Well, tied with Montreal, but they have two games in hand on the Habs, so the B’s have the top spot technically to themselves. The same can be said for tonight’s opponent, with the Tampa Bay Lightning (21-10-5) also [...]
