Boston Bruins

Turn out the Lights

October 16, 2011

Finally the Bruins have gotten on the board with a fight last night in Chicago. Nice work by Gregory Campbell to try to spark the boys. Not much of a scrap, but good on Soupy to get it started. The fight I wanted to talk about happened Thursday between Pittsburgh’s Arron Asham, and Washington’s Jay [...]

Turning the Page

October 8, 2011

We are now 9 games into the NHL season, and there has been a total of 1 fight. One. Uno. That’s not a lot. It was a decent scrap in yesterday afternoon’s contest between LA’s Kyle Clifford, and the Rangers Brandon Prust. I am not here to offer any analysis on why there has only [...]

No Skin Left to Pinch

June 24, 2011

For the past 8 days, I’ve felt a little like Billy Guerin in the “History Will be Made” commercials they showed during the playoffs. I’m totally speechless. The Boston Bruins won the Stanley Cup. Holy shit! They won the Stanley Cup. I was alive to see it. I saw it with my own eyes. When [...]

Two Girls, No Cup

June 18, 2011

As seen at the Boston Bruins 2011 Stanley Cup victory parade currently taking place in… Boston, of all places: My brother-in-law took this a few minutes ago in Government Center. I have no idea who these gents are, and hopefully they won’t mind being featured front and center, but if I could I’d ask them [...]

How (Wicked) Sweet It Is

June 15, 2011

I was born in 1973. I’m the same age as Tim Thomas. There hasn’t been a Bruins victory in the Stanley Cup Final since I was a pre-spermatozoa. An itch in my father’s pants, if you will. I’ll cut to the chase, as you’re either reading this tonight tired or tomorrow morning hungover – I [...]

The Great Wall of Thomas

June 15, 2011

32 seconds left in the 2nd period of Game 7, and this is what I came up with. What a game. Jesus, Mary and Joseph do I wish I were in Boston right now. Preferably on Canal Street.

T’was the Night Before Stanley

June 14, 2011

Here I sit in the dark, staring at this blinking cursor in disbelief. My new daughter, Caroline, is out cold – dreaming of ripping a wicked wrister top drawer to win an Olympic Gold Medal. MOL is dreaming of the day when I no longer look like a crazy Amish hockey fan exiled from the [...]

Bruins Set a New NHL Playoff Record

June 13, 2011

The Boston Bruins just set a brand new Stanley Cup playoff record during the first period for the fastest 4 goals: 4:14 to be exact. Well done Marchand, Lucic, Ryder and Ference! Now please, boys – allow this penchant for easily manhandling Vancouver to survive the next 6 hour plane trip. The previous record was [...]

Home Ice Advantage Like You Read About

June 13, 2011

When the Boston Bruins have laced-up at home during these 2011 NHL playoffs they’ve been nearly unstoppable. Over this last week, during the final showdown with the Vancouver Canucks, their home ice advantage has risen even further – to the extent you may be tempted to replace the word “advantage” with “hate crime”. For Boston’s [...]

STILL Believe in the Bruins

June 12, 2011

Gee whiz, this bandwagon is getting a lot easier to steer with all these people jumping off. For those of you that remain, please get comfortable. You are in for a great ending! For those of you that jumped off, enjoy the Red Sox or whatever the hell else there is going on in Boston [...]
