One of the great strengths for the Boston Bruins during their 2011 Stanley Cup run – and in the time since – has been their ability to consistently and effectively roll out four lines on any given night. This strength was on display once again in Game 3 vs the New York Rangers on Tuesday ...
On Thursday night, fans were treated to 60+ minutes of hockey between two teams days removed from a grueling seven-game series in the first round of the 2013 NHL postseason. For the first 40 minutes of Game 1 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals, it was pretty obvious that both the Boston Bruins and New York Rangers were feeling the effects of their Game 7s played on Monday night. It was sloppy hockey from two tired teams in a game that seemed to be headed for irrelevancy, surely not to be remembered in playoff folklore for it’s thrilling moments and edge-of-your seat exciting.
Things changed in the third period, but hey, that’s nothing new–especially for the Bruins.
Game 7. It is the most heart-wrenching 60 minutes of hockey you will experience until overtime. Then, it is downright torture. A Maple Leafs hockey fan- and I’m not talking about the ones that come out of the woodwork and jump on the bandwagon posting Facebook statuses revealing their lack of knowledge- has gone through ...
The Boston Bruins failed to finish off the Maple Leafs in Game 5, but don’t compare this team to the 2010 version.
The Boston Bruins can’t play like they did in Game 5 because if they do, there’s going to be a Game 7 and if there’s a Game 7–well, that’s not good.
The team has this problem with complacency. They start out strong, get ahead of their opponents, and then they stop. Everything stops, actually. They stop skating, stop hitting, and stop any type of effort that helps them to maintain a lead. It has been apparent in games this season and now the Bruins are doing it in the playoffs.
So here we go again.

Billy Madison: I disagree, it’s a very good game, but I think Donkey Kong is the best game ever. Kid: Donkey Kong sucks. Billy Madison: You know something? YOU SUCK! With all due respect to ...
With the Boston Bruins leading by three entering the final frame of their Monday night Game-3 tilt versus the Toronto Maple Leafs, B’s fans felt they could breathe easy. However, 47 seconds into the stanza, old friend Phil Kessel brought the raucous Air Canada Centre crowd to their feet with a powerplay goal to narrow ...
By Mike Miccoli In Game 2 on Saturday night, the story wasn’t that the Bruins couldn’t keep up the momentum, it was that the Maple Leafs played on a higher level, looking like a different team than Game 1. As for the Bruins? Well, they just weren’t good enough. Make no mistake about it though, ...
The Bruins were hitting, shooting the puck, connecting their passes and bringing a whole other level of intensity in Wednesday’s Game 1 win against the Toronto Maple Leafs.
So, about flipping that switch.
Attention Boston Bruins Fans… the time has come… to Panic! … Actually, the exact opposite. Grab your towels, folks: While talk radio and the blogosphere* consistently eschew reason for histrionics, the B’s status is far from bleak. The Boston Bruins struggles are well documented.
