Questions Abound
Posted on 15 Jun 2013 by Matt Preston.
Once? That could be just a fluke. Twice? Who cares? They still won. Three times? Yeah, on the third time it is becoming a trend. Call me a cynic if you would like, I cannot necessarily deny that fact, but following the Boston Bruins’ 4-3 triple overtime loss to the Chicago Blackhawks in Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final earlier this week, that makes three games in a row the Bruins have gone bac...

One More Try
Posted on 12 Jun 2013 by Matt Preston.
Can’t beat the Penguins in a 1-0 game, I said. Can’t keep Crosby and Malkin off the score sheet, I said. Lose in six, I said. In all fairness to myself, I did say the Bruins would win Game 3 of the series and that if they wanted to beat the Penguins, they were going to have to go on the offensive and bring the attack to their opponent, which they did in Games 1 and 2. I am also inclined to ...

Time to Prove Iggy Wrong
Posted on 31 May 2013 by Matt Preston.
To the Bruins fans who were lulled to sleep by the uninspired play of the New York Rangers during their Eastern Conference Semifinals series with the Boston Bruins: No, you are not dreaming, even if this is the match-up you have been dreaming of since the end of March. By virtue of their 3-1 win in Game 5 of the conference semi’s last Saturday night, the Bruins earned themselves a return trip...

On to Step Two
Posted on 16 May 2013 by Matt Preston.
There are just some moments in life that take a little while to process. Three days to be exact. That is how many amongst the Black-and-Gold faithful felt following the Boston Bruins 5-4, overtime win in Game 7 of their Eastern Conference Quarterfinals series against the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday night. The Bruins were dragging all night, but the score was close. Phil Kessel and Nazem Kadri...

That’s Step One
Posted on 4 May 2013 by Matt Preston.
May 1, 2013. 6:31pm. “@TheOnlyPresto: Real simple pre-game analysis for the B’s/Leafs: If the Bruins can’t drop the hammer tonight, abandon all postseason dreams.” And put the hammer down the Boston Bruins did in Game 1 of their Eastern Conference Quarterfinals series against the Toronto Maple Leafs, heeding one scribe’s advice in an authoritative, 4-1 victory on Wednesday night. Not ...

Boston Strong
Posted on 18 Apr 2013 by Matt Preston.
As the Boston Bruins faced off against the Buffalo Sabres on Wednesday night at the TD Garden, the result, more than any other amongst the countless games the Bruins have played in their nine decades, could not have mattered less. The chance to clinch a playoff berth on the line and it just did not mattered. The game was played. The highlight was when Rene Rancourt took to the ice to sing the N...

Soda the Savior
Posted on 14 Apr 2013 by Matt Preston.
It was one of the first trades ever made under his watch, about a year after taking over the office. Now in the seventh year of his regime, Boston Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli is finally going to get to see the pay-off as the Bruins formally announced their three-year, one-way deal with Carl Soderberg prior to Saturday night’s, 4-2 loss to the Carolina Hurricanes. The 6’3, 200 pou...

Why, Claude? Why?
Posted on 7 Apr 2013 by Matt Preston.
If I could ask Boston Bruins head coach Claude Julien one question today, I would love to know his rational behind his line combinations? Maybe it is not completely fair to so blatantly question the man. He has a Stanley Cup ring, has more wins behind the Bruins bench than any man in history, save one, and his team is currently ranked fifth in the NHL. None of this, however, eases my curiosity ...

Bruins Acquire Jagr and Redden
Posted on 4 Apr 2013 by Matt Preston.
Despite being badly burned the week before when Pittsburgh Penguins general manager Ray Shero turned him into his personal whipping boy, and the high prices in a sellers’ market, general manager Peter Chiarelli did what he could over the past few days to improve his Boston Bruins squad as they prepare for their stretch run to close out the 2013 regular season. While he referred to it as the m...

Maybe There is Still Hope
Posted on 29 Mar 2013 by Matt Preston.
Looking at the Boston Bruins offensive options on the trade market seemed a bit fruitless. With more questions than sure things coming from any of their rumored trade targets, probably making it not worth the cost general manager Peter Chiarelli might have to pay after being duped out of Jarome Iginla earlier in the week. Defensively, however, could be an area the team seeks out and makes some ...

What’s the Point?
Posted on 29 Mar 2013 by Matt Preston.
Wednesday night. It was supposed to be brilliant. Diner Wednesday, International Whiskey Day, the Boston Bruins were playing the Montreal Canadiens, Family Dinner and Trivia Night. Not to mention the fact all the paid experts had the Bruins acquisition of Calgary Flames captain Jarome Iginla all but immanent. It was as though my birthday had come a week early. A sinking feeling hit my gut late ...

Iginla Spurns Bruins, Makes Super Team in the Pitt
Posted on 28 Mar 2013 by Matt Preston.
The good news, I suppose, is I get to save a whole lot of our time as I get to write a trade deadline preview, review, playoff preview and championship review all at once. The bad news, for at least myself, anyway, is it all turns out in favor of the wrong shades of Black-and-Gold. The Pittsburgh Penguins are your 2013 Stanley Cup Champions. At least that is where the smart money is going to be...
