There were two significant dates for Tim Thomas as he entered his first game in what seems lifetime against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Thursday night. Jan. 14 was the last time that Thomas got a win for the Boston Bruins and Feb. 2 was the last start. So with a little over a month between starts Thomas wanted to prove that his team could

The Boston Bruins effort against the Montreal Canadiens, on Monday night, once again showed that they are in dire need of some help on the offensive side of the puck. After Tuukka Rask held the Bruins in the game for the first 40 minutes, the young netminder couldn’t hold off the Habs in the third as they beat the Bruins 4-1. It was the first

The Boston Bruins went in to the HSBC Arena to play the Buffalo Sabres on Tuesday night with a little momentum. For the first time in 10 games the Bruins entered a game with a win in their previous game. They were a determined team and behind the strong goaltending by Tuukka Rask were able to put together a two game winning streak. The Bruins came out flying and were

Hoping to avoid their 10th consecutive loss, the Boston Bruins entered their Saturday matinee against the Vancouver Canucks with high hopes and lots of energy.  However, Roberto Luongo proved to be too much for the defensive minded Bruins beating them 3-2 in over time. The Bruins came out flying, scoring less than two minutes into the game with a power play goal scored by their captain Zdeno Chara.  The power

If the Boston Bruins do not make the playoffs in the 2009-10 season, they can look back and pin point the time where everything went wrong.  Ever since the Bruins victory at the Winter Classic against the Philadelphia Flyers they have been in a downward spiral. The Bruins opened their February schedule on a similar note.  The Washington Capitals invaded the TD Garden and showed the Bruins why they are sitting pretty atop

It has been a couple of weeks now since the United States denied Canada its fix for six. Canadians across the country have been nursing their World Junior hangover since the U.S. took home the medal that has belonged to our country for the past five years. John Carlson is the newest American hero as he scored the game winning goal in the 2010 World Junior Hockey Championship final giving

The Boston Bruins entered the 2009-10 season with high expectations.  After finishing atop the Eastern Conference and second in the NHL, the team and fans had high hopes for this season. During the offseason the Bruins had some issues that needed to be dealt with.  After a lengthy back and forth battle with Phil Kessel, the Bruins ended up trading the speedy forward to the Leafs for three draft

The Bruins head in to Long Island to face the New York Islanders.  Coming off back-to-back wins over the Toronto Maple Leafs, Boston looks to improve to 9-1-0 in their last ten games. Tim Thomas was the first goaltender off the ice at this morning’s practice, which indicates that he will be the man in goal tonight.  Tuukka Rask got both starts against Toronto.  Thomas is coming off a loss

It is without a doubt that Boston Bruins forward Patrice Bergeron has rediscovered his game this season.  Bergeron has a team leading eight goals and 16 assists for 24 points in 30 games this season. After suffering a concussion in 2007-08 after only playing 10 games, Bergeron struggled to get better and missed the remainder of the season.  The next season he returned to play 64 games for the Bruins

The Boston Bruins came out for tonight’s game like a team on a mission.  Their mission was to score as many goals as possible.  Boston mowed over the Toronto Maple Leafs by a score of 7-2. Marc Savard recorded a hat trick while Marco Sturm, Zdeno Chara, Mark Recchi, and Johnny Boychuk got in on tonight’s action.  Savard has only had one goal since returning before playing tonight’s game.
