When the calendar turns to February in the National Hockey League, it usually indicates that the end is in sight. Sure, it might mean the end of the season for half of the league, but the other half will have the chance to partake in the two-month grind known as the...
Let’s just pump the breaks for a moment. It is no secret that the Boston Bruins have experienced a harsh trip back down from reality after one of the hottest starts in franchise history throughout the first two months of the regular season. Boston started the season...
Honestly, does it even really matter? The Boston Bruins have been trying to find the right combination within the forward lines for the first three months of the regular season, particularly at right wing. It is safe to say that things have not worked out, but fans of...
BOSTON, MA – We are finally playing hockey games in 2020. The Boston Bruins better hope that the start of a new calendar year will yield better results compared to how things ended in December. January needs to be a great month for Boston. Besides, anything will be...
We are just days away from the mandatory holiday shutdown around the National Hockey League. Before the three-day layoff can fully be enjoyed, the Boston Bruins have a lot of work to do. The Bruins have lost seven out of their last eight games. To break it down even...
With the year drawing to a close, the unofficial first half of the 2019-20 National Hockey League season is about to wrap up. When it comes to the Boston Bruins, they certainly should be content about how their year concluded. They started the year clinching a playoff...
They say attitude reflects leadership. By default, the Boston Bruins possess a strong work ethic and an eagerness to get better every single game. Those are great qualities to have in order to develop a positive attitude. All of this stems from the leadership of the...
Whether it was out of necessity or the stubbornness just became tiresome, Boston Bruins head coach Bruce Cassidy finally did it. The offensive lines have a new look to them. Obviously, the biggest reason for this occurrence was the recent six-game absence of Patrice...
BOSTON – One would be hard pressed to find someone who dislikes these Black Friday games. In what has become an annual tradition for the city of Boston and its professional hockey team, fans took a long weekend off from work—or perhaps a break from holiday shopping—to...
Boy, talk about a controversial topic if there ever was one. It is always entertaining to throw stuff at the wall to see what sticks. We can envision what fantasy booking a team would look like if we were in complete control. However, this scenario usually surfaces...
It is hard to imagine that flipping the calendar from one month to the next would make such a difference for one of the hottest teams in the National Hockey League. There is only one plausible explanation…it is those darn mustaches. All kidding aside, the Boston...
“MVP! MVP! MVP!” Arguably, that is the most overused and (quite frankly) annoying chants in all of sports. Sure, the fan support can be encouraging and the sound of those three letters resonating from the floor all the way to the rafters can be fun. However, sometimes...
Now that is more like it. The lack of secondary scoring for the Boston Bruins was starting to reach a level of desperation. Something needed to be done, whether it was the players clicking with one another or just everyone putting in the full 60-minute effort....
Perfection (n) /per/fek/shen/ - the condition, state, or quality of being free or as free as possible from all flaws or defects. The “Perfection Line” – the phrase dubbed by local media to describe the Boston Bruins’ top line of Brad Marchand, Patrice Bergeron, and...
The news broke earlier this past week that Boston Bruins’ defenseman Kevan Miller started to skate prior to team practice, a positive step in the right direction in his long road to recovery from a broken kneecap. It is unfortunate because the Los Angeles, CA native...
BOSTON – The Boston Bruins are certainly getting their fair dose of Western Conference teams early on this season. It is not like the team should be complaining; the B’s took six out of a possible eight points on the four-game road trip to kick off the 2019-20...
The Boston Bruins’ goaltending tandem of Tuukka Rask and Jaroslav Halak is on pace to go a perfect 82-0-0 for the 2019-20 season. Technically speaking, the above statement is not wrong. Is it very much skewed? No doubt about it. Although it has only been two games...
BOSTON – It felt like it was just yesterday. Game 7 of the 2019 Stanley Cup Finals took place back on June 12. The home team was collecting itself and brushing the realization of defeat away as best as possible. The players raised their sticks and thanked the fans for...
As the Boston Bruins prepare to open their six-game preseason slate, they got some very great news over the weekend that involved one of their own. Bruins’ defenseman Charlie McAvoy signed a three-year contract extension worth $4.9 million per season. He later joined...
With two weeks left until the first preseason game and training camp just around the corner, the Boston Bruins still have some unanswered questions heading into this upcoming season. Some of those questions are obvious, such as who is going to fill out the bottom-six...
If there was no such thing as bad luck, then Anders Bjork would have no luck at all. That has truly been the story for the 23-year-old forward, as his two-year professional hockey career has fallen short of expectations. As a three-year standout at the University of...
The Boston Bruins have re-signed one of their own, but it is not one of the marquee players that the fans were hoping for. The Bruins have inked forward Danton Heinen to a two-year contract extension worth $2.8 million per year. This deal signifies that the team and...
We all have our sports fantasies that we would salivate at the thought of them existing in a perfect world. If we take all of the realistic elements out of these decisions (contract length, salary cap hit, chemistry with the team, etc.), then everyone would get what...
It is time for a trip down memory lane… When David Backes signed with the Boston Bruins as a free agent during the summer of 2016, few entertained the possibility of this deal working out as well as it did. Grant it, at the time of the signing the deal was absurd;...
Thursday night’s game ended with the same result as the series itself: 4-0. The Boston Bruins weathered the storm—excuse the pun—and swept the Carolina Hurricanes in the Eastern Conference Finals. The Bruins are now through to the Stanley Cup Finals for the third time...
The Boston Bruins “dented”—and eventually broke—the Columbus Blue Jackets in their second round Stanley Cup playoff series, a series that lasted only six games. Up next for the B’s? A bunch of jerks. Well, sort of. Before we officially turn the page and look ahead to...
It is tough to nitpick a team one day removed from a victory. So what does one do in that case? Nitpick individual players. This past Thursday night, David Pastrnak recorded a goal and an assist in Boston’s 4-1 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets, knotting up the...
The Boston Bruins skated in their final regular-season game this past Saturday afternoon, and they did so by hosting the Tampa Bay Lightning. Technically speaking, sure; there were professional hockey players in white and blue sweaters skating against other...
The Boston Bruins have officially clinched a playoff spot and they are gearing up for an impending first-round showdown with the Toronto Maple Leafs. The second season of the National Hockey League is on the horizon. However, the Bruins still have to wrap up the...
The calendar has flipped to March. The playoff chase around the National Hockey League has intensified. The lineups are getting tweaked. Players are fighting through the grueling grind of a full 82-game campaign. Teams and coaches are finding the right form. This is...
