For The Rangers, Trouble’s A-Bruin
The New York Rangers had two days to regroup after Thursday night’s 3-2 overtime loss to the Boston Bruins in game one of their Eastern Conference Semifinal series. Would it help? When all was said and done Sunday, the answer was decidedly no. Rookie Torey Krug has probably made the Blueshirts wish that Dennis Seidenberg, [...]

Maple Leafs Edge Bruins, Force Game 6 in Toronto
BOSTON, MA – For as dominant as the Bruins have shown they can be over the past few seasons, an Achilles heel of the Black and Gold has always been an inability to close out opponents in the postseason. Under head coach Claude Julien, the team was just 3-6 in non-Game 7 contests in which the B’s [...]

Bruins Burn Leafs in Playoff Return to Air Canada Centre
TORONTO, ON – For the first time since 2004, NHL playoff hockey made its return to the Air Canada Centre in Toronto on Monday evening. And what an atmosphere it was.

Lupul’s Pair Lifts Maple Leafs to 4-2 Game 2 Victory
BOSTON, MA – Buckle up, folks. We may be in for a long series. Following Boston’s 4-1 dismantling of the Maple Leafs in Game 1 on Wednesday, it looked as if there was a chance for this series to be fairly one-sided.

Bruins Cruise Past Maple Leafs for 4-1 Game 1 Victory
BOSTON, MA – The Boston Bruins have flipped the proverbial switch. Well, for now, at least.

Bruins Fall to Fourth Seed After 4-2 Loss to Sens
BOSTON, MA — The dates are set, the opponent is set and the NHL postseason is just three nights away from returning to the Hub. But, will the hometown Bruins be ready for it? If Sunday’s regular season finale is any indication, I’m not so sure. With a 4-2 loss against the Senators at TD [...]

BOSTON, MA – For the first time since Monday April the 8th, the Boston Bruins were able to collect two points in a game played at the TD Garden, skating away with a 3-0 home-ice victory over the last-place Florida Panthers.

Upstart Isles Power Past B’s for 2-1 Road Victory
BOSTON, MA – After losing Brad Marchand to a mild concussion during Wednesday’s 5-4 win over the New Jersey Devils, the Boston Bruins were back on the ice Thursday against the Islanders, minus two thirds of their top offensive unit.

Rask, Jagr Lead B’s to 1-0 Shutout Win over New Jersey
BOSTON, MA – Nearly 23 years after being drafted fifth overall by the Pittsburgh Penguins in the 1990 NHL Entry Draft, Jaromir Jagr was again stealing the headlines on Thursday evening. Two days after being acquired in a pre-deadline trade, No. 68 was making his Boston Bruins debut in front of a sellout crowd of 17, 565 [...]

Bruins Pull Away Late, Defeat Panthers 4-1
BOSTON, MA – On Thursday evening, the Boston Bruins made their return to the ice of TD Garden for a showdown against the team currently slotted dead-last in the Eastern Conference, the injury-riddled Florida Panthers.

Bruins Score Three in First Period to Bury Struggling Flyers
