Pittsburgh PenguinsOne 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 ...
Game 7 proved once again what Bruins fans have been witness to over the past few years: anything can happen, especially in the playoffs.
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.

Bruins vs Leafs, Mortal Kombat vs Donkey Kong Kid: Mortal Kombat, on Sega Genesis, is the best video game ever.

With a record of 20-7-3, the Boston Bruins are currently sitting in fourth place in the Eastern Conference, two points back of the division leading Montreal Canadiens (with a game in hand), and second only to the Pittsburgh Penguins in terms of goal differential (+22.)
With only a scant 18 games left to play in a shortened season, one would think that the Bruins would be a confident bunch heading down the stretch. Below the surface, however, there is cause for concern, and the Bruins have some work to do in the last week of March to avoid going into April looking more like lambs than lions.
Grow up around the game of hockey and three basic keys will be hammered into your head: skate as hard as you can, shoot the puck and hit something. Do each of these and you’ll be successful–whether it’s by scoring goals or winning hockey games.
For a full-60 minutes, the Boston Bruins had no problems going back to the basics to beat the Washington Capitals on Saturday, 4-1.
Back in the old days of Czechoslovakia, the still-fused Czech Republic and Slovakia were a consistent threat to win Olympic gold. Though it also helped to have two of the best hockey players of all time, Jaromir Jagr and Dominik Hasek, in their primes. Currently, the Czech Republic could certainly benefit from the talents of ...
