Bruins Stem Bleeding, But Changes Still Needed
Posted on 8 Mar 2013 by Matt Preston.
There is not much in this world that comes with a sense of complete certainty. Death. Taxes. And maybe the excitement of a struggling Boston Bruins team when they see the Toronto Maple Leafs coming up on their schedule, as was the case Thursday night in Boston. The Bruins took to the TD Garden ice on Thursday losers of two straight, blowing third periods leads in both for just the second time s...

B’s Strong Through Quarter Pole
Posted on 17 Feb 2013 by Matt Preston.
When the puck drops this evening in Winnipeg, it will be the start of the second quarter of the season for the Boston Bruins. Despite coming off a tough loss on Friday night to the Buffalo Sabres, at 8-2-2 and one point back of the Montreal Canadiens for the Northeast Division lead, things have gone fairly well for the Boston Bruins through their first 12 games. Outside of their anemic power pl...

Don’t Let the Door Hit You
Posted on 8 Feb 2013 by Matt Preston.
It started back in 2010 when the New England Patriots sent Randy Moss back to Minnesota. The Boston Red Sox followed suit last season when the shipped Josh Beckett across the country to the Dodgers. The Boston Bruins joined the trend of New England clubs jettisoning their most polarizing players on Thursday when they traded goaltender Tim Thomas to the New York Islanders for a conditional secon...

Slow Start Ends Well for B’s in Montreal
Posted on 6 Feb 2013 by Matt Preston.
In the words of the legendary Mitch Hedberg, “…you have start the show strong and end the show strong… You can’t be like pancakes, all exciting at first, but then by the end you’re sick of them.” As they have been known to do this season, the Boston Bruins once again closed strong on Wednesday night, putting home two, third period goals to escape with a 2-1 over the archrival Canadi...

Vanek Wreaks Havoc in Boston
Posted on 1 Feb 2013 by Matt Preston.
The pregame hype had it set as a battle 14 months in the making. Fans of both teams knew well what transpired in last season, so when the 2013 schedule was released, January 31, the Boston Bruins versus the Buffalo Sabres at the TD Bank Garden was labeled the first “Can’t Miss” game of the season for both teams. While it was no innocent play on November 12, 2011, when Bruins winger Milan ...

Fast Five
Posted on 29 Jan 2013 by Matt Preston.
It is hard to take issue with how the Boston Bruins have played to this point in the season. It is early yet, as the team has played all of five games, but they have earned a point in each of those games, which include third period rallies for victories in their past two contests. At 4-0-1, Boston leads the Eastern Conference heading into tonight’s game with the conference’s only other team...

Another Post About Tuukka

We have already discussed the offense and the defense of the Boston Bruins heading into tomorrow’s season opener against the New York Rangers and you know what they say: If you’re going to do it two times… To wrap up the season preview, it is on to the last piece of the puzzle: their goaltending. It was not very long after the Bruins’ Game 7 loss in the first round of last year’s ...

Behind the Blue Line
Posted on 18 Jan 2013 by Matt Preston.
There are some folks out there who say I tend to say a little too much when I write. Thanks to those folks, my season preview for the 2013 Boston Bruins was broken up. Yesterday, an improving offense that was already statistically one of the best in the league was discussed. Today, it is a look at the team’s bread-and-butter: their defensive presence. A cynic might try to argue the Bruins def...

Anyone Remember the Offseason?
Posted on 17 Jan 2013 by Matt Preston.
There was a time in my life when people would have regarded me as smart, with a knack for recalling facts, statistics and events. Celebrating the four month anniversary of the start of the lockout by penning a season preview, however, I find it difficult to recall all the way back to those summer months and all the movement that went on in the NHL. Luckily for me, the Boston Bruins decided to t...

Still Just Waiting
Posted on 5 Jan 2013 by Matt Preston.
As Steve Carell so poignantly asked in the 40-Year Old Virgin, “Is it true if you don’t use it, you lose it?” Well, when it comes to writing, yes, it’s true. Especially when you’re a mediocre writer to begin with. So here we are, one month since the last rant, and despite anything new write about, writing for the sake of writing. As the hours tick by, so does the NHL lockout, with...

A Jaded Love Affair
Posted on 4 Dec 2012 by Matt Preston.
When it is all said and done, we all seem to end up having someone who broke our heart, but we will always consider taking back given the opportunity. We would somehow overlook the complications, rationalize how they mistreated us, tell ourselves the next time will be different and give it another shot thinking this time it is all going to have a storybook ending. I am glad most of my friends d...

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...
