Boston is Again a Hockey Town

No words can recreate the emotion I have just felt and will feel, in any literary sense. The level of fandom relief, joy and triumph felt within my house, my room and my heart hangs only within the final seconds, after what felt like an eternity, and will remain timeless within those seconds forever. I [...]

Bruins vs. Canucks (The 2010-11 Stanley Cup Finals)

The Boston Bruins in my concious lifetime as a fan have never won a bigger game than that of Game 7 against the Tampa Bay Lightning, at the Garden, on May 27, 2011. A one to nothing shutout which will go down as the greatest Game 7 I have had the privilege of being apart of. [...]

John Daly Will Save the PGA Tour

There was once a time when I argued until I was blue in the face, that golf was in fact, a sport. I argued until I was beat red, that Tiger Woods was the world’s greatest athlete. I have since lost momentum towards these arguments, in the stained sheets and egos of infidelity and public [...]

The Bruins Will Win The Stanley Cup (2010-11 Season)

  Pending an abrupt, heartbreaking injury interruption to the best season of his short, twilight career, Tim Thomas will win the Vezina Trophy in 2011. Thomas and Tuukka Rask leave little to the imagination for the modern day sports writer, in his or her quest to write about who the best goalie in the NHL [...]

NHL Eastern Conference: Power Rankings (2010-11)

15. New York Islanders I do not trust Rick DiPietro, but can’t blame him for his lengthy contract followed by his even longer injured reserve stint. I’d prefer to see him hurt, and let the second fastest glove in the NHL, Dwayne Roloson, get some nibbles. Regardless, every other notable mention is already plagued with [...]

The Bruins Choose Thomas as Number One

Tim Thomas Admittedly, the title of this post was meant to be alluring, controversial, and completely satirical. I am, at this juncture in the season, choosing to satirize myself, due to the hole the Bruins have dug in the world of Tim Thomas fandom. A Thomas campaign advocate from last year may theorize the following. Every [...]

The Bruins Begin 2010 in Prague; Disassociation Before Anticipation

The Boston Bruins open their 2010/11 season in Prague on Saturday afternoon, versus the Phoenix Coyotes. If all of Czechoslovakia had been covered blindly by Icelandic ash during what in my humble opinion is the greatest professional sports collapse of my generation, Prague would have still heard the cries, saw the tears and felt the [...]

Quick Notes on Potential B’s Sweep

* Mark Stuart may return, as a direct replacement for recently fallen giant, Adam McQuaid. I look forward to the utilization of his stregnth and skill, but will he contribute physically, only a game back from his “hand” injury, and will he be a difference maker on defense? He is a better option, but the [...]

Savard’s Return Energizes the Garden and Redefines Series

Marc Savard capped off, with a story book ending, the greatest 14 minutes of offense, I have ever seen a Bruin’s team lay on an opponent, in my 15 years as a fan. I attended Saturday afternoon’s playoff matchup, with a lack of positivity, that Savard would be returning, however on the screen hovering over [...]

Caps drop to the Habs; Bruins face Flyers, gain “Home Ice Advantage”

The Capitals were beaten tonight by the B’s rivals, the Montreal Canadians. Game 7 proved to be nothing short of a Jarislav Halak target in a Caps shooting range, and the only one that hit was a mere flesh wound. Halak made 131 saves out of the last 134 shots he faced in the final 3 games of the [...]
