Blueline Musical Chairs
The Washington Capitals will soon be faced with a situation the most other GM’s in the NHL would love to face; an over-abundance of defenseman. The Capitals are currently without the services of Mike Green and Tom Poti, but all reports have them slated to return by the start of the playoffs at the latest. [...]
Confident Lightning Stay Quiet On Deadline Day
The Tampa Bay Lightning remained silent on this trade deadline day. Confidently silent. GM Steve Yzerman stayed ahead of the curve by filling the teams need for a goaltender (Dwayne Roloson), a power play quarterback (Marc-Andre Bergeron) and a big, puck moving defenseman (Eric Brewer) earlier in the season. Yzerman had deep discussions with many [...]

Eastern Conference Round 2 Bruins v. Flyers: Observations From the Balcony
Now that I am living more than 4 hours outside of Boston I cherish the games I get to even more than I have in the past. This season I rode the roller coaster with the Bruins, and loved every moment of the historic Winter Classic at Fenway. I stood and cheered when the Bruins [...]
Bruins Take Series Lead Behind Bergeron’s Goal
If you’ve never heard the Bostonian’s version of the word ‘Miller’, both you and Sabres goaltender Ryan Miller certainly learned through repetition last night in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals at the TD Garden. Splitting two games a piece in Buffalo, the Sabres and Bruins returned to Boston in the Bruins’ first playoff [...]
B’s On Verge Of Playoffs After Beating Sabres
With Ryan Miller sitting on the bench for Buffalo along with Tim Connolly, Patrick Kaleta, and Thomas Vanek out of the line-up, and the New York Rangers breathing down the Bruins’ neck in the chase for the playoffs, the B’s knew these were two points that simply had to be had on the home ice [...]
From the Penthouse to the Bruins’ Doghouse – Michael Ryder
One of three bruins to dress every game this season, Bruins’ winger Michael Ryder may have finally landed himself in the doghouse of the overly patient Bruins’ coach Claude Julien. Prior to his departure from the Montreal Canadiens Ryder was a healthy scratch from the playoff series against the Bruins which saw the upstart B’s [...]
Disgusting: Boston “Fans” Lacking In Class & Knowledge
Growing up and seeing videos of the crowd at the Boston Garden, I remember the swelling feeling of pride and honor that came with being considered a hockey fan in the Boston area. Aptly dubbed the ‘Gallery Gods’, the die-hard’s that donned the black-and-gold apparel of the now seemingly-ancient confines of the Garden sitting on [...]
Bruins Lackluster Defense Burnt By Sabres
The 2009-10 Boston Bruins have been labeled many things. From ‘soft’ to ‘non-Bruin-like’, and have drawn comparisons to a Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde club in the league. Replacing last season’s frequented ‘Savard to Kessel’ phrase, the Jekyll to Hyde side of the Bruins reared it’s head once again tonight in the Bruins’ 3-2 loss [...]
Bruins Sign Ference To Three-Year Extension
The 2009-10 season isn’t at an end just yet for the Boston Bruins, and with an off-season littered with questions in terms of who’s in and out of the Bruins fold, Peter Chiarelli took his first step in answering the question the future of the blue-line by signing defensemen Andrew Ference to a three-year extension [...]
The Bruins’ X-Factor: Dennis Wideman?
With 71 games in the books for the Boston Bruins, there has been one player labeled the scapegoat of the 2009-10 season stronger than any other member of the black and gold–Dennis Wideman. Just one year removed from a 50-point season, including a remarkable +32, good for sixth in the entire league last season, the [...]
For the Bruins – the Playoffs start NOW!
Last season seems like it was a 100 years ago. The Garden was ringing with chants of “Carrrrreeeey, Caaarrrrrrreeeeeey” en route to a sweet sweep of a hapless Habs team. Late in the 3rd period and into OT of a gut wrenching game 7 against the ‘Canes the B’s faithful serenaded the Bruins with chorus [...]
Bruins Saved By Thomas & Satan’s Shootout Efforts
At this rate, the Bruins can’t care if it’s pretty, it’s all about getting the two points and staying afloat in the rapidly changing Eastern Conference playoff picture. Fortunately for Boston, they did just in their survival against the Toronto Marlies, errr, I mean Maple Leafs tonight at the TD Garden. In what’s bound to [...]
Déjà vu’ all over again…
Why are Bruins’ fans up in arms at 54 points through 51 games? When was the last time we were in such a state?? Well, it was WAAAAY back in the season of 2007-08. You remember, the second season of the Claude Julien reclamation project. That was the year, still staggering from the Dave Lewis [...]
Don’t Jump Yet: Bruins On Verge Of Big Trade?
After today, it’s becoming apparent that the Boston Bruins have hit rock bottom in what is quickly becoming a disappointing season. Fresh off an emotionless loss to the Ottawa Senators on home ice, the B’s took to the ice of the RBC Center for the first time since Game 6 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals [...]
