Stat Line of the Night — 6/17/2013 — Tuukka Rask
Should the Boston Bruins go on to win the Stanley Cup, Gary Bettman and company could have a hard time deciding who to hand the Conn Smythe Trophy to as the playoff MVP. The entire line of David Krejci, Nathan Horton and Milan Lucic could garner plenty of consideration, as they currently sit in first, [...]

Jaromir Jagr Was Jaromir Jagr’s Favorite Player Growing Up (Video)
Could you imagine what it would be like to get the chance to play on a pro sports team with your childhood sports idol? The odds are so incredibly slim. For one thing, the ever-so-vast majority of us aren’t even born with the slightest chance of making a living as an athlete. On top of [...]

The Boston Bruins are currently representing the Eastern Conference in the Stanley Cup Finals, but it wasn’t long ago that they found themselves down by three in the third period of a do-or-die Game 7 during their first-round playoff series against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Bruins fans may have forgotten all about that after easily [...]

Bruins Fans Harass Penguins Forward Matt Cooke in the Penalty Box (Video)
Penguins forward Matt Cooke used to be the dirtiest player in the NHL, known more for the cheap headshots he dealt to opponents than anything he did with a stick or puck. However, since receiving his last suspension back at the end of the 2010-11 season, the guy really has changed his ways. He worked [...]

Tuukka Rask Falls, Carl Hagelin Scores (GIF)
According to New York Rangers head coach John Tortorella, Carl Hagelin stinks (on the powerplay, of course). But on this play during Game 4 of the Eastern Conference semi-finals at Madison Square Garden last night, Hagelin was only the second-stinkiest player involved. The first-stinkiest player involved would obviously have to be Boston Bruins goaltender Tuukka [...]

Stat Line of the Night — 5/16/2013 — Zdeno Chara
Zdeno Chara’s biggest impact on a hockey game is usually his defensive play and his physicality, however, he has been getting the job done in the offensive zone as well thus far this post-season, and he continued that trend during Game One of the Bruins’ second-round series against the New York Rangers. Chara opened the [...]

Watch NESN Announcer Jack Edwards’ Reaction to the Bruins’ Epic Comeback Victory Over the Leafs (Video)
Earlier this season we got a glimpse of how Boston Bruins TV announcer and notable homer Jack Edwards would respond if the Bruins erased a late three-goal deficit. The Bruins did just that on February 12 against the Rangers, and Edwards went absolutely nuts up in the booth. However, that game would ultimately end in [...]

Behold, the Saddest Toronto Maple Leafs Fan You Will See All Day (Video)
Watching your team blow a three-goal lead midway through the third period, and a two-goal lead with less than 1:30 remaining in regulation is not easy, especially when it comes during Game 7 of their first NHL playoff series in nine years. Toronto Maple Leafs fans had to deal with such heartbreak following their epic [...]

The Bruins’ Epic Game 7 Comeback Is the Maple Leafs’ Epic Game 7 Collapse (Videos)
Last night in Boston, the Bruins staged one of the greatest single game comebacks we’ve seen in any sport in recent memory, and certainly one of the greatest comebacks in the history of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Down by three goals halfway through the third period of Game 7 against the Maple Leafs, the Bruins [...]

Stat Line of the Night — 5/13/2013 — Patrice Bergeron
With just over ten minutes remaining in the third period of Game 7 between the Boston Bruins and the Toronto Maple Leafs, it appeared as though the outcome was all but assured, as the Leafs held a commanding 4-1 lead over their division rivals. And even after Nathan Horton scored to cut the Bruins’ deficit [...]

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 [...]

Smart Toronto Hockey Fans Fight Outside Arena Before the Game So They Don’t Get Kicked Out (Video)
This is just a casual observation from someone who writes about the subject often, but it seems to me that most fan fights go down either during the game, right there in the stands, or after the game, out in the parking lot. You rarely see fights between fans outside the venue before a game. [...]

Stat Line of the Night — 5/8/2013 — David Krejci
Any time an athlete does something that gets 5,000 people to throw $125,000 worth of hats on the ice, it’s pretty special. When you get them to do it during the playoffs? Well, that’s even better. Of course, in the case of the Boston Bruins’ David Krejci, these hats were figurative and not literal. The [...]

Days After Boston Marathon Bombing, Bruins Fans Sing National Anthem in Unison (Video)
When the world experiences a tragedy, something that jars us and makes us want to hug our kids or call our parents, people in the sports world talk about how, “at times like these,” you remember that “it’s just a game” and “there are more important things in life.” In one sense this is true. [...]
