Bruins Shouldn't Panic About Game 3
May 6th, 2013 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 shouldn't panic for Game 3...
Boston Bruins: Marching On As Lions or Lambs?
March 24th, 2013 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...
What the Bruins Need to Be Successful
March 24th, 2013 The Boston Bruins are having a strange season. Strange in the sense that they're considered a "struggling" team even with a top-five record in the NHL and strange in the sense that their once-sound defensive game is suddenly filled with cracks. In conversations, columns and general musings, it has been difficult to classify this team....
Will the Boston Bruins Ever Fix Their Power Play?
February 13th, 2013 There isn’t much to say about the 2013 Boston Bruins that hasn’t already been said—and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Prior to Tuesday night's 4-3 shootout loss to the New York Rangers, the team was off to its best ten-game start in franchise history (8-1-1) behind a torrid goaltender tandem, contributions from all four...
Bruins' Defensive Depth Tested in Win Over Winnipeg
January 22nd, 2013 It didn't take long for the Boston Bruins to call upon their seventh defenseman to enter their starting lineup. On Monday's 2-1 shootout win over the Winnipeg Jets, the Bruins were forced to dress newly-acquired defenseman Aaron Johnson in place of Dennis Seidenberg, who was ruled out of the second game of the year with a lower-body...
Boston Bruins: The Fragile Nature of Defensive Depth
January 21st, 2013 "Well if there’s one area (where) I would say that our depth is extremely good, it’s on defense." This is a quote from Boston Bruins coach Claude Julien from Monday afternoon. Reports indicate he wasn't smirking or showing any signs of sarcasm at the time. In game #2 of the Bruins season, their second-best defenseman Dennis...Projecting the 2013 Boston Bruins: Part 2 – Defense and Goalies
The Boston Bruins approach the lockout-shortened 2013 NHL season as a favorite in the Eastern Conference. With talent and experience throughout the lineup – and a few dynamic youngsters including top scorer Tyler Seguin and rookie Dougie Hamilton – the B’s should contend for a second Stanley Cup in three...
Boston Bruins: Ranking Their 2013 Projected Roster
January 6th, 2013 We love our hockey. We love our hockey so much that on the first Sunday of 2013, we're able to forget about almost everything else in our lives and welcome the NHL, and all that comes with it, back into our lives. The NHL lockout is over and while many of us have had our team's goal song on repeat for most of the morning, others have...
The Best Late Round Gems Of The NHL Entry Draft Since 2000 (Part I - '00-'02 Drafts)
June 21st, 2012 Hockey fans might know that there are some great expectations that are placed on players that come out of the first round of the NHL's Entry Draft. However, the same type of expectations are usually not attached to players that are selected in the later rounds of the NHL Entry Draft. There might not be a hidden gem for every first...
Closing the book on the 2011-12 Boston Bruins
April 26th, 2012 Last year, I drove from Boston to Rhode Island to watch both the Eastern Conference Final and the Stanley Cup Final Game 7s. I figured that if I had the chance to watch my favorite team growing up win a championship, I would want to witness it with my dad, the person who influenced me to fall in love with this crazy sport. Of course, the...
Chris Kelly, Bruins spoil Braden Holtby’s impressive outing
April 13th, 2012 BOSTON-- The story coming out of Game 1 between the Washington Capitals and the Boston Bruins should have been about the performance of rookie goaltender Braden Holtby. Chris Kelly had other plans. Just 1:18 into overtime, Kelly scored the Bruins’ first and only goal of the game to seal the victory and take the 1-0 series lead...
Capitals will present challenges for Bruins
April 9th, 2012 Everyone is picking the Boston Bruins over the Washington Capitals in the first round of the playoffs. Almost unanimously, in fact. The reason behind each of these picks is the same, too—the Capitals, essentially, aren’t the same feared team they were in years past. If you factor in Washington’s ho-hum record during the regular...
Boston Bruins Weekend Clinching Scenarios and Notes
March 31st, 2012 By Bob Mand, Contributing Editor Thanks to Sid the Kid and the Pens, the Boston Bruins clinched a spot in the Stanley Cup playoffs Friday night. The Sabres loss to Pittsburgh at home sealed the deal and put the B’s back into the postseason for the fifth straight year. The B's still haven't sewn up the Northeast Division crown...
