A Political Non-Story
Posted on 24 Jan 2012 by Matt Preston.
I have always felt The World of Sports should be an escape from the Real World. A place where you can go between the lines, block out the harsher realities of life and get wrapped up in something totally different and unrelated. An inconsequential reality of sorts. Every now and then, however, worlds collide and a story all too real infiltrates the World of Sports. Try as we might to ignore the...

Perrault tricks the B’s, Down Bruins 5-3
Posted on 24 Jan 2012 by Michael Thibault.
The Bruins fell short tonight against the Ovechkin-less Washington Capital's 5-3 in D.C. The B's were coming off big games this weekend against the top seeded New York Rangers and rivals the Philadelphia Flyers. The first period ended 1-0 with the Bruins on top after a goal credited to Rich Peverley which was actually hit in by the Washington defenseman. The second period, however, was a comple...

The Dog Days Continue
Posted on 21 Jan 2012 by Matt Preston.
It has long been said that 2012 is the year of premonitions. Nostradamus, the Mayans, and now Presto. Last time out, it was discussed that the one thing working against the Boston Bruins and their stellar play this season was whether they were peaking too early in the season and if complacency would set in? The day after that post was published, the Bruins came out and were dominated in a 4-3 l...

Thomas and the Bruins struck by Lightning
Posted on 17 Jan 2012 by Michael Thibault.
The Bruins fell to the Tampa Bay Lightning tonight 5-3. Dominic Moore's goal with about 4 minutes left proved to be the game winner, despite a great last minute effort by the Bruins. The B's have really struggled offensively in the absence of Brad Marchand who was serving the last of his 5 game suspension tonight (as a Boston fan I say struggling as in only scoring 2 or 3 goals a night). The B...

An Embarrassment of Riches
Posted on 6 Jan 2012 by Matt Preston.
You know what the hardest thing about being a sports writer is? Covering a good team. Sounds odd, right? Look at it like this: The whole purpose of a position like this is to provide critical analysis of a given team or a given game. Critical analysis. And when things are going as well as they have been for the Boston Bruins, it is difficult to be critical. No one wants to read piece after piec...

Another Arrow in the Quiver
Posted on 23 Dec 2011 by Matt Preston.
When he was drafted eighth overall in 2007 by the Boston Bruins, it was with great anticipation that the then 18-year old Zach Hamill came to Boston as the team’s second top-10 draft pick in two years. Yet, while Phil Kessel, taken fifth overall the year before, went on to early success in Black-and-Gold, Hamill spent more than most of the first four years of his professional career with the ...

Taxing Timmy
Posted on 12 Dec 2011 by Matt Preston.
A starting goaltender getting pulled from a game isn’t exactly a huge story. It happens. We are all bound to have our off nights, but when you are the reigning Vezina Trophy winner starting for the reigning Stanley Cup champion, getting yanked from a tie game might lead one to think a little. That was Tim Thomas’ Saturday night in Columbus, as the Boston Bruins goaltender got the hook after...

Krejci Signs Three-Year Extension
Posted on 2 Dec 2011 by Matt Preston.
While the pundits were busy speculating on the possibility of sending David Krejci to Anaheim yesterday afternoon, representatives for the 25-year old Czech were meeting with Boston Bruins management putting the finishing touches on a three-year contract extension. Announced this morning, the deal reportedly carries a cap hit of $5.25 million – second highest on the team – a partial no trad...

Fear the ‘Stache: A Movember to Remember
Posted on 1 Dec 2011 by Matt Preston.
It has been 30 days of bliss for the city of Boston and their beloved Bruins. A truly lovely and historic month of November. The month of October was nothing short of a disaster for the Boston Bruins. The first month of the team’s Stanley Cup defense culminated on October 29 with a 4-2 loss to the Canadiens on a night Boston was getting pounded by a snowstorm that left much of the state with...

A Statement Game in Buffalo
Posted on 24 Nov 2011 by Matt Preston.
With the dark cloud of what happened 11 days ago hanging over the First Niagara Center in Buffalo, NY, both the Boston Bruins and Buffalo Sabers took to the ice on Wednesday night looking to make a statement in this Northeast Division match-up. Both teams made their statement, but in the end it was the Bruins who came out on top with a 4-3, shootout victory. For the Sabres, they came into the g...

Who is Milan Lucic?
Posted on 14 Nov 2011 by Matt Preston.
At 13:10 of the first period in Saturday night’s Boston Bruins-Buffalo Sabres match-up, Bruins left-wing Milan Lucic mishandled a breakaway attempt and, as a result, lowered his shoulder, laying a vicious body check on Sabres goaltender Ryan Miller, who was charging from his goal crease to play the loose puck. As Miller spun, toppling to the ground while taking a two-handed swing with his sti...

Making Strides
Posted on 8 Nov 2011 by Matt Preston.
It is as though a disappointing October is but a distant memory as the Boston Bruins have taken lengthy strides towards returning to prominence in the early days of November. Though they still find themselves near the bottom of the standings, breaking their tie with the New York Islanders for last place in the Eastern Conference by virtue of their 6-2 victory over New York last night, the Bruin...
