That down time could be valuable with the arduous schedule ahead for the stretch run. The Bruins may also have to adjust to some...

Senators-Bruins Preview

Zdeno Chara and Daniel Alfredsson won't have quite as much talent at their disposal as they captain opposing teams for the second straight game.

Tim Thomas is an Idiot!

While I certainly respect Boston Bruins goaltender Tim Thomas’ decision not to attend the White House ceremony honoring the reigning Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins almost two weeks ago, I don’t have to agree with it – and I certainly don’t. The Stanley Cup champion Bruins were all on hand - except for the team's lone American, goalie Tim Thomas. The reigning Vezina...

Faulk back from All-Star shoulder-rubbing

Justin Faulk always thought he had a heavy shot, which is understandable. He does. The Canes' rookie defenseman also was aware of the shooting prowess of Zdeno Chara of the Boston Bruins. But he was even more impressed when seeing the "Chara Cannon" first-hand during the Skills Competition at the 2012 NHL All-Star Weekend in Ottawa. "Shooting 108, 109 miles an...

48. Ottawa Senators @ Boston Bruins - HEY THERE'S HOCKEY AGAIN!

Hey everyone, meaningful hockey is back! I'm so damn happy. Finally all the All-Star Game ******** is behind us.
