Rask’s 35 Saves Not Enough, As B’s Fall 1-0 To Avs
On Monday afternoon, the Boston Bruins (1-1-0) played host to the visiting Colorado Avalanche (0-1-0) , for a Columbus Day Matinee contest at the TD Garden. Boston’s 24-year-old Finnish net-minder Tuukka Rask got the start for the B’s, his first of the 2011-12 campaign. In net for the Avs was young Russian goaltender Semyon [...]
Marc Savard Declared Out For Season – Career In Jeopardy
When Marc Savard when down to the ice in pain, on January 22, in Colorado, after a collision with former teammate Matt Hunwick, the city of Boston held it’s collective breath. This would be the 2nd time in 10 months that Savard would suffer a severe concussion. Following the infamous Matt Cooke hit, on March [...]
Joe Sacco – Tough SOB
A. Dater said the other day in his Twitter feed that Sacco is a tough SOB. I’ve suspected as much for a long time now. Here and there I’ve seen interviews and such that made me think that he projects this persona, or perhaps it is not a persona, that you don’t want to mess [...]
Avalanche Retool the Blueline
I wrote earlier this year that I didn’t expect the defensive prowess of the Avs to improve this year because it was basically unchanged from last year except for the departure of Brett Clark. Yes, Ruslan Salei left for Red Wing territory but he was not a factor last season, logging most of his ice [...]
Take This Broken Wing…Bruins’ Depth To Be Tested
A swing of the stick is all it took, and the Rangers’ Brandon Dubinsky has set the Bruins’ blue line contingency plan in motion. Personally, since Ray Bourque left Boston I haven’t bought into the need for a “puck moving defenseman”, and would rather see 3 defense pairs with the likes of Johnny Boychuk, Zdeno [...]
“Who?”: Bruins Acquire Rights To Kampfer From Ducks
If you were looking for that big blue-line changing defensemen to aid the Bruins in 2009-10, you’re still out of luck. Just under 24 hours away from the trading deadline, the Boston Bruins have announced that they’ve acquired the negotiation rights to University of Michigan defensemen Steve Kampfer from the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for [...]
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 [...]
Oh, Henrik: Bruins Continue To Be Baffled By Rangers
Heavy is the head that wears the crown of Sweden, unless of course, he’s playing the Boston Bruins. Henrik Lundqvist continued his masterpiece of a career log against the Bruins today in the Hub in route to the Rangers 3-1 matinee win, and frankly, it simply didn’t look hard for the three-time Vezina nominee. Coming [...]
Lucic Returns, Satan Scores, Savard goes Down, Bruins Lose
The Bruins were very nonchalant in their 5-2 loss to the Chicago Blackhawks. The Bruins jumped out to a quick 2-0 lead on goals from Miroslav Satan and Blake Wheeler. The Bruins would then let up 5 unanswered goals. Thomas was yanked after 4 in favor of Tukka Rask. What highlighted this game though happened [...]
B’s Put Lucic On IR, Call Up Wozniewski & McQuaid
It’s beginning to appear that anything involving Milan Lucic negatively offsets the balance of the hockey world in Boston. Visions of “2012″ are appearing all too real and riots have been forming outside the TD Garden as sales of “Lucic Crew” shirts plummet with the latest set of bad news to hit the Bruins left-winger. Lucic, who [...]
