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 Bruins head home losers for the first time, even if they didn’t come home empty-handed as far as the standings are concerned.
There’s still plenty to be optimistic about, however, and NESN Nation’s Dan Duquette is still excited about the heart the Bruins showed. Plus, Dougie Hamilton recorded the first NHL point of his career, and the rookie defenseman certainly proved that he’ll be one to watch this season.
That’s why Hamilton is our “Power Point” player of the game award. Who’s yours?

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...

One of the most talked about Bruin's players coming into the season was 19-year old Dougie Hamilton, pegged to be the future of this team's defensive unit.
The Bruins, along with Hamilton, are off to a tremendous start. Watching the first two games, I thought Hamilton was noticeably one of the better players on the ice. He is demonstrating poise and maturity, covering his...

Before last night's Bruins-Rangers match, I wrote how I was hoping to see the power play light the lamp for the first time this season. 1:05 into the second period, they did just that with a Brad Marchand goal. Nice to see, but the fact remains after last night's game the power play unit is now 1-14 on the year (1-5 on last night's game). If this team is going to contend...

BOSTON – Claude Julien knows a shortened season will provide some unusual circumstances that may lead to some unusual coaching decisions. But in terms of divvying up goaltending responsibilities, the Bruins head coach isn’t thinking too far ahead.
Tuukka Rask got his second start in as many games on Monday for the B’s matinee tilt with the Winnipeg Jets, but it’s clear...

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...

My perception (and of many fans) of the Bruins Andrew Ference prior to the Stanley Cup Championship was of a nice player that was injury prone. He reminded me of Mr. Glass in the Bruce Willis movie “Unbreakable”, Ference just could not stay on the ice.
From 2007-2010, he missed 79 games almost an entire season. Most players may have been let go for a healthier option, but the...

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...
