Seven Things about Zdeno Chara

Zdeno Chara graces the cover of the 2011-12 NHL Media Guide, hoisting the Stanley Cup at Rogers Arena centre ice with his massive maw stretched wide in a triumphant scream. (Understandably, the Vancouver Canucks were one of the teams that took advantage of the NHL’s policy allowing individual teams to pay for local versions of the ...

The Morning After: Bruins return to form, crush streaking Maple Leafs

For now, all seems right with the Boston Bruins. The components that were deemed missing and the efforts that were lacking when the team started the season all showed up at once on Thursday night when the Bruins beat the red-hot Toronto Maple Leafs, 6-2.

The game was all Boston, really. The team showed a full-60 minute effort, had success on the power-play and big games for many role players who had seemed be complacent to start the season.

2011/2012 NHL Season Predictions: Eastern Conference

Sharks’ Prospect Doherty: Taylor-Made for the Blue Line

You can’t teach size. Imagine your favorite team having an organizational player possessing NBA size, strong skating skills for a big man, a rocket shot from the blue line, and even a non-objectionable smell.   Bruins’ fans across the land might smugly point to their own behemoth Zdeno Chara, and yet they’d be wrong — ...

Evgeni Malkin Talks KHL, Kittens and the Russian Mafia

The Russian website sports.ru recently featured a pair of great interviews with Evgeni Malkin of the Pittsburgh Penguins as he recovers from knee surgery. Both interviews were conducted in Russian and translated to English, but the insight into ‘Evgeni Malkin the Person’ is something many in Pittsburgh have never seen. A week ago he talked ...
