This Day In Sports History (May 10th) – Bobby Orr
It was on this day in 1970 that the Boston Bruins beat the St. Louis Blues to capture the team’s first Stanley Cup since 1941. The Bruins won the game 4-3 in overtime to sweep the Blues in their best-of-seven series. Game Four of the series would go into overtime, but it did not last [...]

Caps Radio’s John Walton Made A Great Call On Joel Ward’s OT Game Winner (Video)
Ninety-nine percent of the time I would prefer to watch an overtime game-winning goal during Game Seven of an NHL playoff series on television, as opposed to listening to it on the radio. Joel Ward’s overtime winner during last night’s Game Seven match-up between the Washington Capitals and the Boston Bruins represented the other one [...]

Tim Thomas Saved The Bruins’ Season With This Incredible Stick Save (Video)
The Boston Bruins were able to hang on for their playoff lives with a Game 6 victory over the Washington Capitals yesterday afternoon, following Tyler Seguin’s game-winning goal 3:17 into the first overtime period. However, there is a strong possibility that this game would have never made it to the extra frame had it not [...]

Washington Capitals’ captain Alex Ovechkin was having himself a rough night during Game 4 against the Boston Bruins on Thursday, as Zdeno Chara held the Russian sniper goalless for the third time this series while limiting him to just four shots on goal.

Brendan Shanahan Suspends The Pane Of Glass That Fell On David Krejci’s Head (Video)
After withstanding a barrage of criticism from all angles for his decision to allow Shea Weber to go unpunished for his turnbuckle-style head-smash on Henrik Zetterberg during Game One of the Western Conference Quarterfinal series between the Red Wings and the Predators, it appears as though Brendan Shanahan is doing everything in his power to [...]

The Boston Bruins won the game last night, but it almost came at the cost of one of their top forwards.

And The Award For The “2011-12 Frozen Fisticuffs Fighter Of The Year” Goes To…Shawn Thornton!
Last season it was Cam Janssen of the New Jersey Devils beating out the competition to earn the first ever “Frozen Fisticuffs Fighter of the Year” award. Janssen was in the running once again throughout the 2011-12 NHL season, but in the end, he would fall just short of earning the honor for the second [...]

Frozen Fisticuffs Fight Of The Night — Lucic vs. Komisarek — 3/19/12
Dating back to Mike Komisarek’s days with the Montreal Canadiens, he and Milan Lucic of the Boston Bruins have had their fair share of face-to-face encounters.

Stat Line Of The Night — 3/19/12 — Brian Rolston
In terms of scoring, the 2011-12 NHL season hasn’t been a very productive one for Brian Rolston, as he entered last night’s game with just 13 points in 60 games. He recorded his first multi-point game of the season during a two-point effort against the Florida Panthers last Thursday, and he would double that total [...]

Bruins GM Peter Chiarelli Tests Fly Fishing Gear On TD Gardens Ice (Video)
Someone really needs to tell Bruins’ GM Peter Chiarelli that the only thing he’ll catch on the TD Gardens ice with his fly fishing rod are some insults from former Buffalo Sabres enforcer and current Sabres Hockey Network analyst Rob Ray. With plenty of time on his hands now that the NHL trade deadline has [...]

Frozen Fisticuffs Fight Of The Night — Thornton vs. Rosehill — 3/6/12
During what may have very well been the best night of Fisticuffs from the 2011-12 NHL season, last night’s action on the ice provided a total of nine fight. At least half of those were worthy of some consideration for “Frozen Fisticuffs Fight of the Night” honors, including Dennis Seidenberg vs. Colby Armstrong, Brandon Dubinsky [...]

Two of the NHL’s toughest and best enforcers squared off at center ice inside the TD Gardens last night, as Shawn Thornton and Eric Boulton came to blows during a game between the Boston Bruins and the New Jersey Devils.

Stat Line Of The Night — 2/28/12 — Robin Lehner
After goaltender Craig Anderson went down with a lacerated right pinky finger, the Ottawa Senators were quick to pick up third-string goalie Ben Bishop from the St. Louis Blues in order to help them get through the next couple of weeks without their starter between the pipes. Suddenly, it appears as though they may not [...]

Frozen Fisticuffs Fight Of The Night — McQuaid vs. Crombeen — 2/22/12
Two of the NHL’s top teams squared off in St. Louis last night as the Blues hosted the Boston Bruins. And while everyone knows that these two teams can play hockey, we also learned that they can be quite effective when it comes to dropping the gloves and engaging in some fisticuffs as well. Stepping [...]
