By ⋅ June 7, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

The Boston Bruins created a whole new meaning for the term “home ice advantage” on Monday night in an 8-1 bashing of the Vancouver Canucks in Game 3 of the Stanley Cup Finals. This game was labeled a must-win for the B’s, as they were staring down the possibility of a 3-0 series deficit if [...]

Bruins Stanley Cup Game 1 Report Card: Thomas Great, Recchi Too Old

By ⋅ June 3, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Quick Thoughts: Well, from a Boston Bruins perspective, one can chose to look at Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals two ways: 1. A wasted opportunity. A game that easily could be had — given Tim Thomas and his heroic efforts. Thomas won’t be able to replicate that performance throughout the series. Lastly, and most importantly, Boston [...]

We know both teams are hungry for the Stanley Cup, but Canucks winger Alex Burrows took that hunger to a whole new level.

Raffi Torres Goal with 18.5 Left in Third Gives Canucks Stanley Cup Game One Victory

By ⋅ June 2, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

It was a classic goalie battle Wednesday night as the Stanley Cup finals began at Rogers Arena in Vancouver. No Canuck could get past Tim Thomas, but neither could any Bruin get past Robert Luongo. Both were impenetrable walls, denying any and every shot. Sticks, skates, helmets, gloves, whatever it took to block the puck. [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 26

By ⋅ April 6, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

After a long season, the playoff bracket will be set Sunday night, quite possibly in the final game between Dallas in Minnesota. Even with half a week to go, only the three Western divisions have been clinched; no other Western slot has been clinched. Buffalo and New York are still hanging onto their spots, but [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 25

By ⋅ March 30, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

It’s almost time for the playoffs, and five of the spots have been locked up so far. But only Vancouver has clinched a division, and they’ve even clinched their conference, and their magic number is down to four points to clinch the President’s Trophy. It’s still pretty packed out West otherwise, though Chicago and the [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 24

By ⋅ March 23, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

No more than ten games remain for anyone, yet only three playoff spots have been officially wrapped up, and only one of those a division.

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 23

By ⋅ March 16, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

We’re coming up on the last 10 games of the season, and it’s just as exciting as it ever was. If it weren’t for those games in hand, Philadelphia would be in trouble. Vancouver isn’t too far away from clinching that President’s Trophy. It’s still a logjam out West, and Anaheim is just one win [...]

By ⋅ March 9, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Only one month remains in the season, and there’s still a lot to be hashed out. The Devils are still making an improbable run. Five points separates #4 from #11 out west. Even the Flyers aren’t safe, with Boston and now Washington right behind them. One of the few sure things right now appears to [...]

If the Playoffs Started Today – NHL Week 21

By ⋅ March 2, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

No more than 20 games remain for any team, so we’re in the final quartile of the season now. And this late, the top story continues to be the logjam out West between #4 and #11, if not further down. Even one more victory by the Predators (#9) would vault them up to #5. But [...]
