Stingy Rask Leads Bruins Over Rangers

Backup goaltender Manny Fernandez skated before the game but still felt discomfort in his back, so he was not going to be able to play Saturday afternoon against the Rangers. Tim Thomas has played an awful lot lately, and at the risk of being overextended, Claude Julien sat his goaltender against the Rangers. So, who [...]

Devils Earn OT Win Over Bruins

The Devils did earn the win, sort of.

ATR: Bruins Starting to Take the Next Step

It is late Saturday night as I write this, and I am currently basking in the glow of yet another Bruins victory. “Bruins in 2″ is on NESN right now, and I’ve been crunching numbers and reading various Bruins-related blogs since the horn blew around 9:15 pm earlier this evening, marking the Bruins third straight [...]

- Glenn Murray’s injury forced Claude Julien to shuffle his lines. Murray will be re-evaluate after Christmas. Expect Phil Kessel to take the spot on the first line.
- Dennis [...]
