Sean Avery Greets Caps Goalie with Punch to Face

Phil Kessel scored his fourth goal of the series as the Boston Bruins buried the Montreal Canadians finishing the sweep. This is the first time since 1998-1999 season that the Bruins have advanced to the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. So it was nice after 10 years to see the Habs get closed out in (4) four games. It appears that on the third Bruin goal Phil Kessel was...

Globe PhotoTen years of playoff frustration came to an end in Montreal as the Boston Bruins finished the job against the Canadiens Wednesday night. Definitely not the type of 100th season Montreal fans, who spent the evening taunting their own goaltender, were probably looking for.Brooms are apparently the theme in Boston sports as the Red Sox swept the Twins in a day/night double...

So Lucic has been suspended 1 game. Here's Colin Campbell discussing it on TSN:Now, based on his logic, even though Milan is a first time "offender" he still gets hit with a suspension. Even though the video clearly shows his hand punching Lappy's shoulder first, then riding up.Yes, that's right. "Logic". And he admits that Milan was defending himself, as Lappy went after Looch.Now...

Hockey News columnist Ryan Kennedy comments on the Wings’ dominance and the logo brownies his wife made him. What a nice wife! In case you haven’t seen it, here is the Don’t Date Within the Division commercial put out by the Boston Bruins. Very clever. John McGourty of NHL.com discusses the prominence of shot blockers in the [...]

The Montreal Canadiens defeated the Boston Bruins 4-1 tonight, in a game which was hard hitting through-out, the Canadiens now have a 1-0 lead in the series.

It took 65 minutes and a shootout, but the Boston Bruins won this afternoon in Boston, 3-2. The game wasn't very offensive minded, saw few big hits and had plenty of weak penalties. All in all, let's hope tomorrow's rematch back in New York is a little more exciting.Scott Gomez and Jaromir Jagr score...

I am so glad that Sean Avery is back in the NHL it gives us something to talk about and he is quite entertaining to watch. I guess you could also say that Sean "sloppy seconds" Avery is up to his old tricks again taking an impressive 4 minors and a ten minute misconduct. The more entertaining fact is Avery is talking smack to a person that speak no English at all.

Avery is more than a pest - the man is vermin. Avery is pestilence, he is Ebola on ice and there is no hockey shrink that can cure his ills. Avery will do everything in his evil bag of tricks to get under Varmalov's tender skin tonight at Madison Square Garden. The Rangers are severely offensively-challenged team and they will need every edge they can get when it comes to unnerving...

I'm beginning to think that Sean Avery enjoys annoying people. Sean Avery will not stop. Can't stop. It seems his obnoxiousness gets even higher in the postseason - which is hard to believe. And, he really likes to bother goalies, guess they can't him back as easily.

Eastern Conference Boston Bruins (1) versus Montreal Canadiens (8) The Bruins won’t be getting ahead of themselves like they did five years ago, writes Stephen Harris.  The Bruins definitely do not lack depth this playoffs.  They have so much depth that someone who does not deserve to sit will be in the press box tonight.  Steve Montador [...]

Eastern Conference Boston Bruins (1) versus Montreal Canadiens (8) Michael Ryder stuck it to his old team yesterday at the Bell Centre.  Boston did miss Milan Lucic, but Byron Bitz did a terrific job filling in.  For all intents and purposes, this series is now over. The Habs had their chances last night but they just couldn’t capitalize, [...]

I am not sure why the Hab's fans feel the need to boo the American Anthem, I don't see a logical reason to do this. If anything it lacks class and is uncalled for. The same crap happened last year during the Flyers and Habs series. Hey Habs fans have some class stop booing the United States National Anthem. BROSSARD, Quebec (AP)—Bob Gainey is asking Montreal Canadiens fans to stop...

DMV is a daily roundup of District-Maryland-Virginia (mostly) sporting links. King Henrik and the Rangers penalty kill are just too much yet again as they send the series back to Washington with the Caps down 3-1. [Puck Daddy] Ovi finally scored and banged another off the post. Not enough. [Mike Wise] Sean Avery has 24 penalty minutes in [...]

If you are a Devils fan you are probably very upset about how Sean Avery screened/battled Martin Brodeur. If you are a Rangers fan than you probably don't care about the tactic.  I am a Devils fan but I think that this play is despicable either way.  You know it's bad when your teammate comes over ...

Sean Avery never had a chance. The game was determined before the puck was even dropped. And the reason was #11 Referee Kelly Sutherland.His last victim was Tomas Holmstrom. The last scene was May 14, 2008 in the Western Conference Finals. Referee Kelly Sutherland saw the number 96 on a player's back, determined that he was in the crease, and disallowed the critical Detroit goal. Sutherland,
