Posted on 19 Jan 2012 by Corey Krakower.
A lot of people are saying that the Montreal Canadiens are cooked. Of course, this is a reference to the team’s hopes of succeeding this season; but now there is new meaning to this term as the team has launched a magazine called “Cooking with the Canadiens”. It includes various recipes and cooking tips from the players themselves. You can check out the team’s website for video clips ...

The Leafs This Week – Dec. 1-8
Posted on 8 Dec 2011 by Ben Fisher.
What Happened The great misleading thing about the NHL standings in the shootout era is the extra category for the “OT loss” and what it says about the team that gets one on their record. The Leafs (15-10-3) are coming off a week in which they went 1-1-1, which resembles an even, “.500” record except for the fact that the team came out on the losing end of two of its three games. Theref...

Boston Bruins Summer Playbook
Posted on 1 Jul 2011 by Jim Mulligan.
Over the years, I have argued that Bruins GM, Peter Chiarelli, has overpayed while paying for his team. I have written in this space that Andrew Ference, Tim Thomas, Zdeno Chara, Patrice Bergeron and Michael Ryder were all overpaid by at least $1M per player. Due to these overpayments, the Bruins were always up against the cap ceiling and could never get that Tomas Kaberle, puck moving defensem...

Posted on 30 Jun 2011 by Matt Preston.
The parade is over. The confetti’s been swept up. The last few drops of $100K champagne downed. The lockers have been cleared. All the hardware has been handed out. The faithful of the Back-and-Gold will always have their memories of the Boston Bruins’ historic Stanley Cup run this Spring, but they are now just that: Memories. It has been two weeks since Bruins defeated the Vancouver Canuck...

Two Picks and a Trade: Draft Day for Leafs Nation
Posted on 24 Jun 2011 by Ben Fisher.
The Kaberle Trade Keeps Giving A trade that already looked good for Toronto grew that much sweeter on Friday, as the Leafs used their 2012 second rounder acquired from Boston in the Tomas Kaberle deal to lure John-Michael Liles over from Colorado. Now, there’s no point in trying to provide even a semblance of analysis on a swap where the involved parties won’t even be fully revealed until n...

2011 Bruins Draft…Who’s next?
Posted on 23 Jun 2011 by Jim Mulligan.
It seems hard to believe that it's been a full year since we last heard Taylor versus Tyler…Seguin versus Hall. Who would Edmonton pick? Could Boston actually trade up to get the #1 overall? We all know Edmonton took Hall, the Bruins took Seguin and last year is officially history. Anyway, onto Minnesota and the 2011 NHL Entry Draft. The Stanley Cup Champion Boston Bruins (I do love sayin...

The Sky May Not be Falling
Posted on 20 Mar 2011 by Matt Preston.
A little over two weeks ago, the Boston Bruins were on top of the world. The Black-and-Gold were coming off a Trade Deadline where they were seen as having been big winners, were riding a season-high seven-game winning streak and were within striking distance of the top spot in the Eastern Conference. They were flat out playing good hockey and has weaseled their way into the serious Cup contend...

That was a Statement Game Alright
Posted on 9 Mar 2011 by Matt Preston.
Wasn’t this supposed to be the Golden Age of the Bruins Power Play? Wasn’t the whole reason Peter Chiarelli spent nearly two years trying to pry Tomas Kaberle out of Toronto that he was supposed to come to Boston and revitalized a power play that has ranked in the bottom half of the NHL all but one year of the Claude Julien Era? Wasn’t Kaberle supposed to just show up and turn the Bruins ...
