PARTY LIKE IT’S 1983! Nine in a row. The Pens are not an easy team to beat. Let’s take a look at what happened: First Period: Chara mangled Malkin. No Call. Odd, but I’ll take it. There should be video on Youtube, but I haven’t found it. Then 17 minutes into the 1st, the Pens [...]
Dec 30, 2008 7:30 PM ET TV: NESN Radio: WBZ @ Pittsburgh Penguins (19-13-4) Notes: There’s a story in the Pittsburgh Gazette about Ryan Whitney watching the Bruins while he’s been hurt. Stanley Cup of Chowder is in the HHR Iron Ref Finals. Go vote for Evan! Also vote for Jack Edwards in the ongoing [...]
And I’m not talking about the All-Joke Game. Jack Edwards is up against Bob Cole in the tournament of announcers. For your consideration: GO VOTE FOR JACK! Oh, and Stanley Cup of Chowder over at Hugging Harry Reynolds is in the Iron Ref finals. Vote for him, too. But really, Jack Edwards. Together, we [...]
Well, football’s over. Pats fans, hop on the Bruins Bandwagon. There’s plenty of room. Let’s take a look at the most recent game. Whoops, I’m a little hungover so I’ll be mailing this in, too. End of the first period, Atlanta Scores. You’re watching the Jets lose. Beginning of second, Wideman-Savard-Kessel. Goal. 1-1. The Jets [...]
Dec 28, 2008 5 PM ETTV: NESNRadio: WBZ@ Atlanta Thrashers (12-19-4) Notes: This is the last time the Bruins play the Thrashers this season. The Bruins are 3-0-0 against them this season. There’s a little matter of the end of the NFL regular season. We’ll know how the pats did in their game by the [...]
I just want to know where the Lucic or Kessel or Savard or Wideman or Chara or Thomas or…. Well, you get the idea. Anyhow, a fan-run player-centric blog that will have the chutzpah to run a headline like this one, from the Alex Ovejtkin Blog: Ovechkin hockey’s greatest player, cleary Crosby’s superior. For your [...]
I missed a lot of this game due to a number of reasons. But here’s the highlights: First Period: Canes score 1. Bruins score 0. Jack Edwards knocks it out of the park: End of your career, Jack? I’m not so sure. Second periodBlake Wheeler nearly falls over swiping at the puck in the slot. [...]
Dec 27, 2008 7:00 PM ET TV: NESNRadio: WBZ@ Carolina Hurricanes (17-14-5) Notes: Last night, Eric Staal netted a hat trick in 4:31 of the third period as the Hurricanes came back to win. Expect a quick start from the ‘Canes. The Hurricanes are hosting the Atlanta Thrashers for a new year’s eve party. That’s [...]
I hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas, and if you don’t celebrate, that you still had a wonderful day. I managed to get a new Thomas jersey, as well as Searching for Bobby Orr by Stephen Brunt, Open Ice by Jack Falla, and A People’s History of Ice Hockey by the CBC. I hope you [...]
For the first time all season, the Bruins win a 6th game in a row. Phil Kessel’s streak is broken, but it’s ok. The win is most important. In the first two periods, this is the only play that matters: What a save by Thomas. Then SOME goal scoring does happen. Lucic happens. Clemmenson has [...]
