6 Bruins Standouts from Opening Series Versus Devils

6 Bruins Standouts from Opening Series Versus Devils

January 18th, 2021 The NHL season is back, and for the Boston Bruins, that meant traveling to Newark, New Jersey, to play a two-game series against the New Jersey Devils at the Prudential Center. In an entertaining, action-packed two games, both teams captured three points apiece, with the Bruins taking the first game Thursday 3-2 in a shootout and the...

5 Takeaways From Bruins' First 2 Games With Devils

January 17th, 2021 Two days after beginning the 2020-21 NHL season with their first shootout victory since Feb. 20, 2019, the Boston Bruins were not able to build off of it against the New Jersey Devils on Saturday afternoon. Yegor Sharangovich scored his first-career NHL goal on a breakaway with 1.7 seconds left in overtime to help the Devils earn a...
4 NHL Backup Goalies Who Should Be Starters

4 NHL Backup Goalies Who Should Be Starters

December 14th, 2020 One can argue that the hardest position to properly fill in hockey is the role of the backup goaltender. Not only do you need an NHL-caliber goalie who is able to perform without having a consistent playing schedule, but he also has to be good enough to step into the starting role for weeks or even months should injury strike the...
Canadiens’ Lapierre Shined as Underrated Agitator

Canadiens’ Lapierre Shined as Underrated Agitator

December 8th, 2020 It was the first game-winning goal of then-Montreal Canadiens forward Maxim Lapierre’s playoff career. The Habs were down three games to two in their second-round series against the Pittsburgh Penguins back in 2010. Lapierre the Hero for Habs Clinging to a 3-2 lead midway through the third period, the Canadiens needed a cushion....
Boston Bruins' Goaltending Depth Chart

Boston Bruins' Goaltending Depth Chart

November 22nd, 2020 For the last 15 years, one position where the Boston Bruins have had stability is with their goaltending. Tim Thomas took over at the beginning of the 2005-06 season and manned the net for seven years, winning the Vezina Trophy in 2009 and 2011. He had a career-year in 2010-11, with 35 regular-season wins and 16 more in the playoffs to...
Top 10 NHL Backup Goaltenders

Top 10 NHL Backup Goaltenders

November 2nd, 2020 The Russian hockey legend and 1989 Hockey Hall of Fame inductee Vladislav Tretiak once said: “there is no position in sport as noble as goaltending.” Perhaps what Tretiak ought to say is that no position is as noble as the backup goaltender. As much as the 31 NHL starting goalies have a heavy burden to bear, the men who...
Bruins Need Rask in Playoff Form for 2020-21

Bruins Need Rask in Playoff Form for 2020-21

September 25th, 2020 When Boston Bruins goalie Tuukka Rask left the Toronto playoff bubble on Aug. 15 for a family emergency, his absence left the goaltending duties for the remainder of the playoffs to veteran backup Jaroslav Halak. Pressed into action just hours before Game 3 of the first-round series against the Carolina Hurricanes, Halak won three...
Canadiens Get the Backup Goalie They Need in Allen

Canadiens Get the Backup Goalie They Need in Allen

September 2nd, 2020 Montreal Canadiens goalie Carey Price finally has his Jaroslav Halak. He just goes by Jake Allen instead. Jake Allen (Jess Starr/The Hockey Writers) After years of failing to properly insulate and rest Price, the Habs took a large step in the right direction by acquiring Allen from the St. Louis Blues. Canadiens general manager...
3 Takeaways From Bruins' Game 4 Loss to Lightning

3 Takeaways From Bruins' Game 4 Loss to Lightning

August 30th, 2020 In Game 1 of their Eastern Conference Second-Round series against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Aug. 23, the Boston Bruins played a near-perfect game in winning 3-2. Since then, however, the Lightning have been the better team and are now one win away from eliminating the B's following a 3-1 win in Game 4 on Saturday which gave them a 3-1...
Canadiens: 4 Late-Round Draft Steals

Canadiens: 4 Late-Round Draft Steals

August 26th, 2020 There must've been something in the air when the Montreal Canadiens selected defenseman Andrei Markov 162nd overall in the 1998 NHL Entry Draft. Having announced his retirement on Thursday, he finished his illustrious NHL career with 572 points in 990 games, all with the Habs. He's the top-scoring defenseman in that draft class, ahead...
Halak's Playoff Dominance Is No Surprise

Halak's Playoff Dominance Is No Surprise

August 25th, 2020 When the Boston Bruins announced Tuukka Rask had left the team for personal reasons just hours before their Game 3 matchup against the Carolina Hurricanes, fans went into a frenzy. Once the dust settled on the archaic, “How could he do this to the team?” debate, most Bruins fans turned their attention to the man who would be taking...
Lightning Must Chase Halak From Net to Defeat Bruins

Lightning Must Chase Halak From Net to Defeat Bruins

August 23rd, 2020 As the Tampa Bay Lightning were preparing for the 2020 NHL Playoffs, there was nothing but uncertainty surrounding hockey. Between the difficulties of bubble life, to the insanity that could be the play-in/ Round Robin games, there were far more questions than answers. Now, as we start Round 2 of the playoffs, things appear to be...
5 Things the Bruins Need to Do to Beat the Lightning

5 Things the Bruins Need to Do to Beat the Lightning

August 23rd, 2020 It is safe to say that the Tampa Bay Lightning have the Boston Bruins' number this season. They have won four of the five games the Atlantic Division rivals have played. Now the two foes will face off in a best-of-seven Eastern Conference Second-Round series at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. Related: Bruins' Top-20 Goal Scorers of...
Bruins' Vladar Unexpected Next Man Up in Backup Goalie Role

Bruins' Vladar Unexpected Next Man Up in Backup Goalie Role

August 22nd, 2020 Dan Vladar has never appeared in a National Hockey League game. As a Boston Bruins prospect, he has been recalled from the team's American Hockey League affiliate in Providence, RI, a handful of times, but he has never seen any regular-season action. That is why Vladar's latest assignment with the team must have come as quite a...
Bruins Will Rally Around Halak

Bruins Will Rally Around Halak

August 18th, 2020 If there is anything that hockey in the bubble has shown us about the Boston Bruins, it's their resiliency and ability to step up in the big moment. Immediately to start the playoffs, they made a statement in a Game 1 victory over the Carolina Hurricanes following three round-robin losses. This was no different Saturday when the Bruins...
