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...

The Worm In The Big Apple
Posted on 26 Mar 2013 by Dan Rakusan.
I realize this season is going to go down with a huge asterisk beside it due to the lockout and all that good stuff, but I still can't put my finger on what is wrong with the New York Rangers. Despite picking up high-scoring winger Rick Nash, this team seems to be in complete disarray. One would think that with a potential top line of Nash, Brad Richards and Marian Gaborik, scoring would be s...

Milan Lucic, the Sleeping Giant
Posted on 25 Mar 2013 by Matt Preston.
The clock has started ticking for NHL general managers as the dominos have begun to fall in the NHL trade market thanks to the Pittsburgh Penguins – already one of, if not the most feared teams in the Eastern Conference – acquiring Brendan Morrow and Douglas Murray over the past two days. While it is not unreasonable to believe the Boston Bruins are a team needing to make a move before the ...

Stuck in Second Gear
Posted on 24 Mar 2013 by Matt Preston.
The Boston Bruins’ dominant run over the Toronto Maple Leafs came to an end at eight-straight wins Saturday night when they fell at the Air Canada Centre, 3-2, further continuing the Black-and-Gold’s malaise through the month of March. The host team got on the board less than five minutes into the contest. Clarke MacArthur fed a pass that snaked through Bruins Brad Marchand and Dennis Seide...

With Laich, Green, and Orlov back the Caps at full strength are a different team
Posted on 22 Mar 2013 by Brendan Keelan.
Capitals Brooks Laich, Mike Green, and Dmitry Orlov had not all played together at the same time this season until last night when the Caps won on the road in Winnipeg 4-0. Before that game last night the Caps had only won four games on the road. This trio proves to be the key to winning road games as the Caps defeat the Jets in Winnipeg again 6-1. Brooks Laich scored his first goal of the seas...

What is Wrong with The Rangers
Posted on 17 Mar 2013 by Eric O'Connell.
Last week when I was here it appeared the Rangers had righted the ship. Nash was scoring, Lundqvist was returning to Vezina form, and things were looking up for the slow starting Rangers. Well then this week happened. They won against Washington 4-1 and then dropped three in a row, including stinkers over Buffalo and Winnipeg. You may recall a few weeks ago the Rangers had another three game ...

Devils Continue Dominance Over Flyers, Win 5-2
Posted on 14 Mar 2013 by Mike Mastrandrea.
Leading up to Wednesday night’s matchup between the New Jersey Devils and Philadelphia Flyers, a lot of words were thrown around that you don’t normally hear at the mid-point of an NHL season. However, due to the lockout and 48-game schedule, these words in a way seemed truthful and appropriate. Flyers goaltender Ilya Bryzgalov said the following on Tuesday of the upcoming home-and-home ser...

Caps lose at home tonight, now face six of next seven on the road
Posted on 12 Mar 2013 by Brendan Keelan.
After not taking care of business tonight against the Hurrincanes at home the Caps enter a series of games where they play six of the next seven games on the road. The Caps this season have a horrible road record, it is 3-7-1, the three wins coming against Southeast Division teams. When facing the rest of the teams in the Eastern Conference on the road they are 0-6-1. The last meeting between t...

Merlot on Ice in Ottawa
Posted on 12 Mar 2013 by Matt Preston.
The Ottawa Senators might have one of the best home records in the NHL this season, but Scotiabank Place is like a home away from home for the Boston Bruins, who won their 10th straight game on the Senators’ home ice after taking down the Sens, 3-2 in a shootout, on Monday night. A week after an embarrassing loss in one nation’s capital, the Bruins looked to be headed towards much of the sa...
