A Tale Of Two Goalies
The Boston Bruins are in the same situation as they were last season. We have two goalies that we can ride through the regular season and into the playoffs. There has been a tale of two goalies for the past two seasons and we began with Tim Thomas winning the Vezina Trophy in 2008. After [...]

Bruins Show No Backbone Against Penguins, Cooke
Let’s first show what happened when Matt Cooke hit Marc Savard with the cheap shot that led up to what should have been a bloodbath this week against the Penguins. For the entire two weeks prior to the rematch between the Penguins and the Bruins, everyone wanted Cooke’s head on a platter. Right off the [...]
Bruins Move Back Up At The Break, Thanks To Tuukka Rask
Ending the first half of the season on a four game win streak, hopefully the Bruins can continue to win when the Olympic hockey break is over on March 3rd against the Habs. Last years Vezina Trophy winner, Tim Thomas hasn’t performed at the level we hoped he would, but our other man in the [...]
Get On Your Feet Boston
So it has been quite a while since I’ve had an opportunity to speak with work and such. Over the past couple weeks, the Celtics and the Bruins have been absolutely shameful. There are no excuses for any of us anymore, busy or not, it is time to get behind our teams. Injury Plagued Celtics [...]

Boston Bruins And Red Sox Making Moves
Two things have happened since I woke up to go to work today. First, the Boston Bruins traded Aaron Ward to Carolina for Pat Eaves. The Bruins then released Eaves afterward. Fluto Shinzawa of the Boston Globe made the point that there were multiple reasons for this to happen: By trading Ward the Bruins clear [...]

On Mother’s Day 2009 the Boston Red Sox, Celtics and Bruins all won on the same day for the second time this year to complete the Mother’s Day Sunday Sweep.

NHL Playoffs Round 2
And the Band Plays On After finally finishing what seemed like a never ending first round the NHL is ready for the semifinal round, or round 2. After predicting the entire playoffs it seems that my picks were not too bad for the first round, getting 5 of the 8 2nd round teams correct. There’s no [...]
Bruins Sweep Habs
The Boston Bruins have just won their first playoff series in 10 years with a sweep of the Montreal Canadiens in the first round, even though my prediction was the B’s in six games. It was a well played series for the Bruins and it showed just how tough they play their hockey. The goal differential [...]
Bruins Look to Sweep Canadiens
The Boston Bruins have showed that They Want It after taking a 3-0 series lead over the Habs in the first round of the 2009 NHL Playoffs.

The Bruins outplayed the Habs in every sense of the word and were clearly the aggressors of the night. The Bruins and Canadiens both had 31 [...]
The Puck Drops Here
It seems as if the NHL never got back on the map after the 2004-2005 season cancellation. Still, this sportsfan is more excited for hockey now than he has been since the days of Ray Bourque, Cam Neely and Andy Moog. The B’s have some new, high-grade talent this season in our Captain Zdeno Chara [...]
