8 a.m.: The Bruins will wrap up their crazy first week on Friday night at the Garden, but before they can get a couple of days off for the weekend, they have a date with the New York Islanders.
The Isles come to Boston for the second half of a back-to-back after starting their road trip in Toronto on Thursday night. New York took it to the Maple Leafs on Thursday night, pasting them 7-4 in Toronto. Michael Grabner and Matt Moulson scored two goals apiece and former Bruins forward Brad Boyes added a goal and two assists.
The Islanders now find themselves tied for the lead in the Atlantic Division, thanks in large part to their offense, which has now tallied 12 goals in just three games.
The B’s, meanwhile, return to Boston after their first road game of the season Wednesday in New York. It was a tough loss to swallow with the Bruins losing in overtime to the Rangers, but the B’s did come away with a point and some positives.
Friday may also mark the 2013 debut of Anton Khudobin, who ...

Tuukka Rask’s play was not enough for the Bruins to win two points in New York
The other day I wrote about how in the past the Boston Bruins came out slow and tired during matinee games, likely due to a night previous of crazy partying or whatever the kids do these days. That didn’t happen on Monday afternoon even though it was an early-season matinee and the opponent wasn...

Tuukka Rask has been stellar between the pipes for the Bruins so far, so coach Claude Julien appears ready to ride his goalie’s hot streak.
Rask will start his fourth straight game to start the season on Friday night, with Rick DiPietro getting the nod for the Islanders for his first start since 2011. It would appear to be a matchup slanted in the Bruins’ favor, but DiPietro...

The Bruins earned one point on Wednesday against the Rangers — with an emphasis on earned.
Boston scratched and clawed their way to an overtime loss against New York, but a point’s a point. A Nathan Horton goal late in the third period was enough to push things to OT, but Marian Gaborik‘s hat trick proved too much for the B’s to overcome. Despite Tuukka Rask‘s best efforts...

The Rangers are expected to contend for a Stanley Cup this season. Problem is, their first two games of the year didn’t do a whole lot to make that expectation a reality.
On Wednesday, though, the Blueshirts came out firing against the Bruins and Tuukka Rask, and Boston was probably lucky to be trailing by only two goals after one period. NESN Nation’s Dan Duquette is impressed...

NESN Nation’s Dan Duquette has noticed a lot of energy in the TD Garden, but not just in this game. In fact, it appears that there’s been a lot more energy and end-to-end action in these games than in years...

Ok, so I am obsessed with Dougie Hamilton. I truly believe he is going to be a difference maker for this team's power play and defense. Even though he is just 19 years old he has already helped on both ends.
On Wednesday against the Rangers Dougie made a few great checks to save scoring opportunities and ended the dreadful 0-11 power play when he blasted a puck from within...

I stated before the season that if the Bruins win a cup this year, it will be because Tuukka Rask stepped up and played like one of the best goalies in the NHL. Thus far, he is proving to be up to the task.
In 3 games, Tuukka has stopped 75 of 81 shots, a .926 save percentage and 1.95 GAA. That is the type of goaltending that will keep the Bruins in contention until season's...
