Bruins have what feels like their millionth back-to-back game in the past two months and yet another matinee game which the team has been awful at (4-7-2 this year). It really doesn't bold well stats wise for Boston, especially against a hot Penguin team that still doesn't have Sidney Crosby.Speaking of Crosby, he won't be suiting up against Boston. There was talk of it and then Crosby's head cleared up enough to remember what happened last time he took on resident goon David Krejci.Big question is who will be in net for Boston this afternoon? Timmy has played in eight straight games. We were really expecting the Bs to rest Timmy yesterday so he'd be ready to face the Penguins today but that didn't happen. So do the Bruins make it Turco Time against a well playing Penguins team or does Timmy play back-to-back games, his ninth straight game (fifth straight start). At this rate TImmy's gonna burn out by St. Paddy's Day.Poo-Poo Pouliot status is question...

Marty Turco made his debut with the Boston Bruins after replacing Tim Thomas to start the second period of Sunday's game against the Pittsburgh Penguins.

Penguins Proving to Bruins How Dangerous They Are With or Without Sidney Crosby (Video)

The Bruins have struggled this year in matinee games, but "struggle" doesn't do the first period of Sunday's game against the Penguins justice. Whether it's the Bruins having a bad 20 minutes or just that the Pens are really, really good, NESN Nation's Dan Duquette was impressed by the Penguins without Sidney Crosby. But do they need Sid the Kid to contend...

Sidney Crosby could return Sunday

Via Hockey Fan Land  |  March 09, 2012
Sidney Crosby said that he'll know Saturday whether or not he can play this Sunday against the Boston Bruins.

We weren't sure heading into Saturday's game whether Tim Thomas or Marty Turco would get the call in net for the Bruins. Turns out it's going to be Thomas, but having uncertainty in goal is actually a welcome question mark considering the many that have been surronding this team as of late. NESN Nation's Dan Duquette is glad to worry about the team's netminder...

Pick Six: Saturday March 10/Sunday March 11

Via Kukla's Korner  |  March 10, 2012
Is a Sidney Crosby return finally around the corner? Perhaps, but one player who has nearly the pedigree of Crosby has his own concussion issues, but is not receiving the attention that Sid the Kid is. I’ve included both players in my Pick Six for the weekend. But first, here’s what you need to know heading into the weekend. A total of 22 teams are in action on Saturday, while...

Crosby linemate options should be clear

Via Hockey Fan Land  |  March 12, 2012
We all know it's any day now we will witness the second coming of Sidney Crosby. But when 87 returns, who will be on his wings?Obviously the line of James Neal, Evgeni Malkin and Chris Kunitz has been one of, if not the top line in the NHL. Adding a player like Crosby into a line like that sounds promising, but it's the wrong move.Why would you want to break up the chemistry...

If the NHL playoffs had a selection show, the Bruins would be getting an invite to the dance thanks to their Northeast Division lead. But if the seedings were picked based on recent play instead of the standings, the Penguins might be getting a top seed as an at-large.
