Bruins Snag 2OT Thriller

So there it is.  Haters go home.  We don’t need your down 0-2 negativity.  Tonight, and for the last three games really, the Bruins played like an actual playoff hockey team and came away with a 2-1 double overtime victory against the much hated Montreal Canadiens at The Garden.  This is one of those games [...]

More Proof That The League Hates Matt Cooke

Matt Cooke continues to be a cheap shot artist and his repertoire does occasionally come back to bite him.  There are a few things that I’d like to point out. 1. Matt Bradley probably wouldn’t have went after just any body with their head down there.  Chances are he would have went in for a [...]

Bruins Make Pre-Trade Deadline Splash

Earlier today the Boston Bruins made a pair of deals to help net them the puck-moving defenseman they were looking to acquire in Tomas Kaberle (Toe-mahs Cab-ur-lay).  The Bruins were able to shed some baby fat and beef up their line-up in preparation for their playoff run.  Here is a breakdown of the deals… _________________________________________ To [...]

Bruins Stifled In LA- Savard Out Indefinitely

I just wanted to make a couple quick points in regards to the Bruins and Marc Savard. I’ll start with the Bruins game last night in Los Angeles.  This team has struggled with the Kings lately and I don’t know what it is.  Even when the Bruins are playing well they can’t figure out the [...]

Nabokov Signed By Wings, Claimed by Isles…
