By Reid ⋅ November 22, 2008 ⋅ One comment

The Boston Bruins just keep on rolling.
The Black and Gold beat the Florida Panthers 4-2 Friday night, extending their winning streak to three games. The Bruins have now won 8 out of their last 9 games, and are 11-1-1 in their last 13. With the victory over Florida, Boston moves into sole possession of 1st [...]

Bruins Rout Sabres 7-4 in Offensive Explosion

By Reid ⋅ November 20, 2008 ⋅ One comment

They say it’s better to be lucky than good. Chuck Kobasew would probably agree.
The Boston forward scored the eventual deciding goal late in the 2nd period of last night’s 7-4 Bruins victory, banking a shot off Sabres goaltender Ryan Miller from behind the net and in. The goal was Kobasew’s 2nd tally of the game, [...]

Thomas Shines as Bruins Outlast Toronto 3-2

By Reid ⋅ November 18, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

It seems even when the Bruins don’t bring their ‘A’ game, they still find a way to win.
Boston outlasted the Maple Leafs last night in Toronto, edging their Northeast division rival 3-2 in front of a sellout crowd at the Molson Centre. The Leafs controlled the play for much of the game, but Boston capitalized [...]

ATR: Bruins Starting to Take the Next Step

By Reid ⋅ November 9, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

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 [...]

Wheeler Notches 1st Career Hat Trick as Bruins Beat Toronto 5-2

By Reid ⋅ November 7, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

Blake Wheeler has had a number of firsts this season. First NHL game, first point, first goal. Last night, he added another to the ever-growing list; first hat trick. The rookie winger potted three goals, including an empty-netter, as the Boston Bruins cruised past the Toronto Maple Leafs 5-2.
Dennis Wideman and Zdeno Chara also scored [...]

Bruins Stumble in Shootout Again

By Sean ⋅ October 21, 2008 ⋅ One comment

In last night’s home opener at the Garden, Patrice Bergeron received a thunderous ovation in his first game back in front of the home crowd. The Bruins’ intensity in the first period matched that of the crowd, but they were unable to capitalize against Sidney Crosby and the Penguins.
The Bruins managed to control the all [...]

Bergeron Keys Bruins Win in Opener

By Sean ⋅ October 10, 2008 ⋅ Post a comment

You couldn’t expect much from a 23 year-old kid who hasn’t played an NHL hockey game in almost a year. Shortly after his last real hockey game, fans who once pronounced him the next face of the franchise hoped he would someday walk again, never mind lead a professional sports team.
A little over eight months ago, watching [...]

Bruins Back for (Much) More

By Sean ⋅ September 25, 2008 ⋅ One comment

With veterans healthy and youngsters one year wiser, the boys in black and gold are ready to build on a so-so 2007 campaign. Despite getting pummeled in Game 7 against the top seeded Canadiens, the bright spots throughout the season were far from scarce.

Bruins Lose Game 7, But Gain Relevance

By KC ⋅ April 21, 2008 ⋅ One comment

The Bruins really pushed the Montreal Canadiens to their limits, but their efforts were not enough. A lot has to be said though about forcing a Game 7 after facing a 3-1 series deficit. For a moment, the Bruins became relevant in the Boston sports scene and it was an important step in the right [...]

Bruins Force Game 7!

By Chris ⋅ April 19, 2008 ⋅ One comment

In a seesaw, whirlwind third period of six goals between the two teams, the Bruins scored last and held on for the victory 5-4. Marco Sturm scored with only 2:37 remaining to give the Bruins the 5-4 lead. In a tense final two minutes, the Bruins held off the Canadiens onslaught and have forced game [...]

Running Scared

By Luc ⋅ December 26, 2007 ⋅ 2 comments

I thought that Christmas would be calm and sweet for the Bruins, but a column, written by Kevin Paul Dupont, suggesting that Phil Kessel could be on the trade market, fired up boards and forums. I think it’s time for me to weigh in.
What can I say? A young, promising player, on the block, because [...]

Some quick notes…

By Luc ⋅ December 22, 2007 ⋅ Post a comment

- The Bruins recalled Matt Lashoff from Providence to fill the void left by Andrews Alberts injury. Lashoff is one of the top prospects of the organization.
- 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 [...]
