Morning Skate: Pause

Happy Thursday, folks! It’s the last day of April, and the Bruins still have at least one more hockey game on the schedule, so that’s a reason to have yourself a good Thursday. The B’s and Sabres are off again today ahead of Game 6, which will be at TD Garden on Friday night. The […]

Recap: Pastrnak’s OT winner extends series

After a pummeling on home ice in Game 4, Bruins fans headed into last night’s elimination game in Buffalo hoping for, if nothing else, some pride, some effort, and a team that would show up, rather than go out with a whimper. They got that and more, as the Bruins recovered from an early one-goal […]

Public Skate: Bruins vs. Sabres, Game 5

Welcome to another night of Bruins hockey, folks! Ideally, this isn’t the last one until October, but that’s up to the Bruins, not any of you. (Unless you messed up one of your superstitions prior to Sunday, in which case it’s entirely possible this is all your fault.) I am not an analytics expert, but […]

Recap: Bruins on the brink of elimination after Game 4 blowout

After a tightly played Game 3, where the Bruins could point to missed opportunities as the difference between a win and a loss, fans hoped to see a little more jump on offense and a little more finish in Game 4. Instead, the Bruins turned in one of the more calamitous defensive performances in recent […]

Public Skate: Bruins vs. Sabres, Game 4

Welcome to another edition of the Public Skate, folks! The Bruins and Sabres are back at it this afternoon, fresh off of enjoying two days off after Game 3 on Thursday. The B’s should be playing with a level of desperation facing the prospect of going back to Buffalo in a 3-1 hole, but there’s […]

Providence Bruins clean up in end-of-season awards

The Providence Bruins had themselves a historic AHL season, and the league’s end-of-season awards are reflecting that level of success. The P-Bruins went a remarkable 56-16-2 in the 72-game regular season, finishing atop the AHL with 110 points. That record set the new high water mark for the most wins in a 72-game regular season […]

Recap: Bruins offense falls flat as Buffalo takes Game 3, 3-1

When the Bruins bounced back to win Game 2 and even this first round series, they did it by taking their opportunities on offense and limiting the self-inflicted wounds on defense. In Game 3, they seemed to revert to some of the same bad habits that plagued them down the stretch in the regular season: […]

Public Skate: Bruins vs. Sabres, Game 3

Game 3 is upon us, folks! TD Garden should be jumping tonight, with the Bruins coming home from Buffalo with a split and playing their first home playoff game in a couple of years. The Bruins were an excellent team on home ice this season, so here’s to hoping that continues. If the B’s can […]

Recap: B’s score four unanswered, hold on late to win Game 2

After the Bruins melted down in the last eight minutes of Game 1, Marco Sturm and several of the players cited a desire to learn from the experience and move forward for Game 2. Tonight’s last seven minutes showed they learned a thing or two—but not quite enough to avoid nearly giving their fans a […]

Public Skate: Bruins vs. Sabres, Game 2

Happy Tuesday, folks! If you ran the Boston Marathon on Monday, hopefully you’re feeling relatively normal today. My brother beat Zdeno Chara’s time, which means now my family must challenge him for the hardest shot title as well. If you’ll excuse me, I’ll be working on shooting a puck, say, 30 MPH first. Anyways, the […]

Recap: Bruins fall apart in the third, drop Game 1 in Buffalo

For a while, things were looking pretty good for the Bruins in Game 1. Weather the storm early? Check. Get the first goal? Check. Hold on for dear life but eventually extend the lead? Check. Then it all fell apart in a span of just under five minutes in the third period, as the B’s […]

Public Skate: Bruins vs. Sabres, Game 1

The playoffs are officially here, folks! Well, technically they started yesterday elsewhere in the NHL, but for our purposes, today’s the day. The Celtics kicked off their postseason at TD Garden earlier today, and hopefully that game went well—I’m putting this together on Saturday, so I hope the future is nice. Anyways, all of the […]

Round 1 Roundup: Opening Day Series bite-size previews OPEN THREAD

We might as well preview each series as they come, and we need a gamethread. Why not both? Carolina vs. Ottawa – Fraudwatch East The Sens were the ones who got the final ticket to ride in the East, and must now face the Carolina Hurricanes in the first round. Truly, to two nicer teams, […]

Bruins-Sabres series to begin on Sunday

While we continue to wait for the release of the full first round schedule, the NHL announced this afternoon that the Bruins and Sabres will begin their series on Sunday in Buffalo. Sunday afternoon? Maybe. Sunday evening? Could be! Sunday night? Anything is possible. But hey, at least we know: Sunday. The league didn’t announce […]

The Bruins will face the Buffalo Sabres in the first round of the playoffs

With Tuesday night’s win over the New Jersey Devils, the Bruins clinched the first wild card spot in the Eastern Conference and set up a first-round match-up with the Buffalo Sabres. After missing the playoffs for 382 years, the Sabres won the Atlantic Division with either 108 or 110 points, depending on how their last […]

Public Skate: Bruins vs. Devils

It’s the regular season home finale, folks! Believe it or not, this is not the most significant Bruins-Devils game of the past couple of weeks. When searching for an image for a “Bruins Devils” image for this post, I got a bunch of results for the Duke Blue Devils vs. the UCLA Bruins in Elite […]
