These Bruins are Playing for the Stanley Cup

Back on April 6, I wrote a post titled “These Bruins Won’t Go Far.”  In case you need further proof of that previous statement here it is: http://ntcf.wordpress.com/2011/04/06/these-bruins-wont-go-far/ Now it is May 31 and the Bruins will playing the Vancouver Canucks tomorrow night in Vancouver in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Finals.  Clearly , I [...]

A Star is Born

The career was conceived on June 30, 2010 in Los Angeles, California.  Gary Bettman announced to the world that with the number 2 pick in the 2010 NHL draft the Boston Bruins selected Tyler Seguin.  Since the Phil Kessel trade on September 19 2009, Bruin World had been anxiously awaiting the 2010 draft.  With the [...]

Horton Snipes Canadiens: Bring on the Flyers

Going into overtime I wrote on my Facebook wall, “I remember this feeling.  It feels much like 2003 when Grady Little left Pedro Martinez on the mound.  It wasn’t a matter of if the Sox would lose, it’s a matter of when.” After Nathan Horton ripped the twine sending the Bruins to round two, beating [...]

These Bruins Won’t Go Far

There is a long-standing myth in hockey that a set of hot pads is all that is needed to win a Stanley Cup.  Because of that false sentiment Bruins fans believe that they have a shot at bringing the Cup back to Boston for the first time in 38 years.  Tim Thomas quite simply has [...]

Bruins Take On Crosby-less Penguins Tonight

The Boston Bruins head to Pittsburgh tonight to take on a Sidney Crosby-less Penguins.  Boston really lucks out here because over the last month or so he has been the best player in the league, uncontested.  The Bruins are coming off of a very disappointing loss in which they held a 2-0 lead late in [...]

Time to Bid Claude Adieu

With the Bruins coverage on this blog lacking as of late, I am going to do my best to step in for our Salisbury-Clayton-esque Bruins boys and do my best to provide some kind of coverage to those out there that follow this blog and are avid Bruins fans. If Claude Julien is to be [...]

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 [...]

Bruins defeat Sabres, Head to Pennsylvania

In the 2009 NHL playoffs, the Bruins lost chemistry, lost man power, and regressed. Progress, the ability to learn and adapt, to come back from being down, to win at home, to score on the powerplay, to score at all, are all attributes the Bruins were able to find, and at precisely the right time. [...]

The Ten Year Collapse of the Boston Bruins, and Its Recent Endgame

On Sunday, March 21st, the Boston Bruins defeated the New York Rangers 2-1, and for the first time in ten years, I could care less. Recently, in a manner of dissapointing precedence, the Bruins managed to draw negative attention to themselves throughout the world of hockey for their lack of physical play and for their lack of heart. [...]

The Bruins Need Defense; and Thomas

   Claude Julien coaches a defensive system with a boring strategy. In his fairly short career as a head coach he has carried this philosophy into Montreal, New Jersey and now into Boston. Though fired from the Devils in 2007, they continue to play to this defensive minded philosophy, and the only reason they have [...]
