By the time Marty Turco entered a game for the first time as a Bruin, Boston was already trailing by three goals and had lost one of its top defensive defensemen to injury. The club's best defensive forward would go down as well just 22 seconds after Turco took over. It wasn't exactly the scenario the veteran netminder would have drawn up for his Bruins debut, but he made the most of the opportunity despite the adversity. Turco stopped 20 of the 22 shots he faced in the final two periods of Sunday's showdown in Pittsburgh. There wasn't much he...

Jordan Caron Remains Hot Despite Bruins Cold Streak

Via NESN.com  |  March 10, 2012
BOSTON -- It may be one of the mildest winters in Boston's recent history, but the Bruins are far from hot.

Via NESN.com  |  March 10, 2012
While goals and assists lead to big bucks in today's NHL, one stat that is often overlooked or over-analyzed is plus-minus. Many may argue that a good plus-minus is nothing more than a product of playing on a good team, but that's not always the case. Currently, Bruins forward Tyler Seguin leads the NHL in plus-minus with a plus-35. The B's certainly are a good team,...

Claude Julien, Bruins Must Decide How to Use Tim Thomas Down Stretch With Marty Turco in Fold

Via NESN.com  |  March 13, 2012
Tim Thomas has played a lot of hockey as of late, and that may not be the best news for the Bruins and their fans hoping the B's can lean on the veteran goaltender once again this spring.
