Home, Sweet Home
Posted on 8 Nov 2012 by Matt Preston.
There’s no place like home. At least that is what Dorothy Gale would have us believe. Me? Two months back I picked up and left pretty much the only home I had ever known and moved across the country. Tonight, however, was to be my little slice of Heaven as the Boston Bruins were supposed to be in Tampa to face the Lightning. No matter how immanent a labor agreement might seem after meetings b...

Pawns in an Ugly Game
Posted on 11 Oct 2012 by Matt Preston.
“All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players,” said William Shakespeare. When it comes to the NHL, however, it seems we are really all just pawns. Tonight, the Black-and-Gold faithful should be sitting down to watch the Boston Bruins open their 2012-2013 season against the Philadelphia Flyers. A year that was to be met with much anticipation after Boston’s disappoi...

Bergeron Wins Selke
Posted on 22 Jun 2012 by Matt Preston.
One of my first gigs in professional sports was working media relations for a minor league baseball team. The first lessons I was taught was many people try and get into the business simply for the glitz and glamour of getting to say they work for a certain team or work with professional athletes. If you wanted to have any sort of credibility, however, you had to leave the fan at home. As it wa...

All Quiet on the Boston Front
Posted on 15 Jun 2012 by Matt Preston.
No matter whether you view history as a laundry list of lessons to learn from out of fear repeating past mistakes or as a mere list of surprises preparing us to be surprised again, it is something that should never be forgotten and always be celebrated in one way or another. One year ago tonight, the Boston Bruins won the Stanley Cup. Four nights ago, however, that 362-day reign as Kings of the...

And So It Ends
Posted on 4 Jun 2012 by Matt Preston.
That is twice now, Timothy. I hate it when Sports and Real Life intertwine and that is twice now in less than half a year that Tim Thomas has thrown my life a kilter and brought the two together. Might as well, I guess, because never again will one of the most memorable characters of the Boston sports scene be able to do so as, just like that, with a simple Facebook post, the Tim Thomas Era in ...

WHICH NHL TEAM HAS THE BEST FORWARD PROSPECTS? (2012 EDITION)
Posted on 25 May 2012 by Corey Krakower.
At the start of every offseason, there are typically disappointed fans from 29 teams that are mentally thinking about trades their team can make and players their team can sign that can make them a Stanley Cup contender. What is often forgotten is that the most effective way to improve an NHL team instantly is to typically by promoting top prospects that are already part of the organization. Th...

Sleeping with the Enemy
Posted on 17 May 2012 by Matt Preston.
With news breaking earlier this week that Alexander Semin was unhappy with the Washington Capitals and was looking to go elsewhere once he becomes an unrestricted free agent this summer, as has happened many times in the past, rumors began to kick up once again that a good landing places for the sharp-shooting Russian would be the Boston Bruins. Do the Bruins, however, really want Alexander Sem...

The End of a Legend…?
Posted on 10 May 2012 by Matt Preston.
One of the first pre-game notes I took prior to the Boston Bruins Game 7 loss to the Washington Capitals in the Eastern Conference Quarterfinals a few weeks back was “Does the result of this game control the fate of Tim Thomas in Boston?” The Capitals beat the Bruins in overtime and, even though the NHL’s off-season has not technically begun, the most prevalent question that is being aske...

And Just Like That…
Posted on 29 Apr 2012 by Matt Preston.
As the puck drops on the second round of the 2012 NHL playoffs, many that follow the Boston Bruins are left wondering just what happened? One year after seemingly exercising 39 years of demons, the Bruins returned to form on Wednesday night as their season came to an abrupt, disappointing and seemingly much to early end as they fell to the Washington Capitals, 2-1, in overtime of Game 7 in thei...

The Stars Finally Come Out
Posted on 24 Apr 2012 by Matt Preston.
I will not say, “He’s arrived!” I will not even say this was his “coming out party.” It was but one game. One goal. Not nearly a big enough sample size to anoint anyone anything. I will say this, however: Tyler Seguin picked a really good time to show up in these playoffs. When the Boston Bruins woke up Sunday morning, they were but 60 minutes of hockey from a pre-mature end to their ...

The Benoit Pouliot Experiment
Posted on 18 Apr 2012 by Matt Preston.
In case there have not been enough comparisons to last season already this playoffs, allow for one more. On April 18, 2011, the Boston Bruins traveled to Montreal for Game 3 of their Eastern Conference Quarterfinals Series with the Canadiens. With the Bruins leading the game 2-0 in the waning seconds of the first period, then Canadiens forward Benoit Pouliot throws a marginally late, high hit o...
