Ranking the Boston Champions

There is no doubt the last 10 years have been the greatest 10 years of any sports town in history for Boston.  No other city comes remotely close to having 7 championships in ten years.  So where do I rank those 7 championships? Let’s have a look. 7) 2004 Patriots beat the Carolina Panthers Tom [...]

Bruins Play Role of Disciplinarian

The Vancouver Canucks decided to mock the NHL and the Bruins after Alexandre Burrows was not suspended for his blatant bite of Patrice Bergeron’s finger in Game One of the Stanley Cup Finals.  In Game 2 Maxim Lapierre taunted Bergeron by sticking his fingers in his face pissing off the well-respected Bergeron and pissing off [...]

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 [...]

1-32 Never Felt So Good

I have harped on the Bruins throughout the playoffs for their awful power play.  But after tonight, the Bruins are one win away from the Eastern Conference Finals.  Somewhere they haven’t been in nearly 20 years.  When push comes to shove, I obviously care more about the final score than I do about the power [...]

Bruins Find Twine Seven Times; Take Series Lead 1-0

The Boston Bruins rode a three goal second period en route to a 7-3 butt-whooping of the Philadelphia Flyers in Game One in Philadelphia.  The Bruins got 2 goals apiece from David Krejci and Brad Marchand, and one each from Mark Recchi, Gregory Campbell, and Nathan Horton.  Tim Thomas made 31 saves preserving the victory [...]

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 [...]

How Sweep It Is!

Believe it or not I actually do have a social life to attend to once in a great while.  Because of the social life, I was unable to post about the games over the weekend.  In case you missed it (and I doubt you did) here is a mini recap of the weekend.  And what [...]

Bruins Hang On: Now Down 2-1

The Boston Bruins came out flying tonight scoring two goals in the first period en route to a 4-2 win over the Montreal Canadiens.  They are now down two games to one with Game 4 coming Thursday from the Bell Center. I have criticized the Bruins extensively over the past two weeks because I felt [...]

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 [...]

An Early Look at the 2010-2011 Bruins

In an effort to broaden my horizons, I intend on paying attention to the Boston Bruins this season.  I have been a casual fan of the B’s for the last 3 three years. This season I hope to follow them a little more closely than I have in years past.  Now I must preface my [...]
