Thomas wades into political realm again

Via Boston Herald  |  February 08, 2012
Bruins goalie Tim Thomas, who was not scheduled to play last night, waded into political waters again today, declaring on his Facebook page, "I Stand with the Catholics in the fight for Religious Freedom.” While he didn't say so explicitly, one could ...

Tim Thomas Responds to Media Regarding Facebook Comments (Audio)

Via NESN.com  |  February 09, 2012
Tim Thomas has been making just as many headlines for things he's been doing off the ice as things he's been doing on the ice. After Wednesday's Facebook post regarding his stance on religious freedom, media members were hoping to get some further comments out of him at practice on Thursday afternoon. Thomas deflected all non-hockey questions and ended the session early...

Claude Julien, Bruins Attempt to Maintain Focus on Game Amid Controversy Caused by Tim Thomas' Latest Comments

Via NESN.com  |  February 09, 2012
WILMINGTON, Mass. -- The saga surrounding Bruins goalie Tim Thomas and his controversial political views shows no signs of relenting. Thomas first ignited a firestorm just over two weeks ago by refusing to join his teammates in their visit to the White House to commemorate their Stanley Cup victory last spring, then posting on Facebook that he chose not to attend because of his belief...

Ty Anderson: Horton setback could trigger trade for slumping Bruins

Via HockeyBuzz  |  February 10, 2012
Bruins coach Claude Julien got real testy with the Boston media when they asked about the status of concussed winger Nathan Horton on Tuesday. Julien noted that giving updates on a concussion simply "doesn't make sense" given the unpredictable nature of an epidemic that's plagued the NHL for nearly three years now. Now, as Horton's remained off the ice since...

Bruins Welcome Early Starts, Even Though Heavy Dose of Matinees Down Stretch Require Some Adjustments

Via NESN.com  |  February 10, 2012
BOSTON – For the Bruins, daylights savings time starts now. After playing just eight matinees in their first 52 games, the Bruins will play nine in their final 30 games of the regular season. That includes Saturday afternoon showdowns in six of the final nine weeks of the year, five of them at the Garden. That’s a lot of early workdays coming for the club, but the Bruins don’t...

Why Boston Bruins goalie Tim Thomas’ plight for ‘religious freedom’ should be put on hold

Via centericechat.com  |  February 08, 2012
Tim Thomas generated thousands of reactions on Twitter on Wednesday. Last time it was about politics. This time it’s about religion. From his Facebook page: I Stand with the Catholics in the fight for Religious Freedom. “In Germany they came first for the Communists, and I didn’t speak up because I wasn’t a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn...

Bruins Continued Struggles Against Non-Playoff Teams Could Haunt Them in Quest for Home Ice in Playoffs

Via NESN.com  |  February 09, 2012
The Bruins outshot Buffalo 36-29. They dominated the draws, winning 45 of 66 faceoffs for a commanding 68 percent success rate. They outhit the Sabres 20-18 and they certainly outfought them the many times the gloves hit the ice. Yet at the end of the night, the Bruins stood on the wrong side of a season-worst 6-0 defeat. The statsheet makes about as much sense as … well, about...

Steven Kampfer Happy to See Winter Classic Coming to Detroit, But More Excited for Prince Fielder's Arrival

Via NESN.com  |  February 09, 2012
WILMINGTON, Mass. – The Bruins have formed a strong bond with the other professional teams in Boston, a cross-sports unity seen most recently with the support the club showed for the Patriots in their run to the Super Bowl. But some loyalties to the teams of their youth are too strong to break, even in a sports-mad city like Boston. Steven Kampfer had no problem being friendly...

Predators-Bruins Preview

Via AP on Fox  |  February 10, 2012
The Boston Bruins have been playing mediocre hockey for the better part of a month, but their most recent game fell far below that description. A dismal result may be just what they needed. Coach Claude Julien hopes his team has gotten a wake-up call in time for Saturday's matinee against the Nashville Predators, who visit Boston looking to bounce back from their own subpar...

Back In the Spotlight, Bruins Trounced By Sabres

Via Boston Sports Media Watch  |  February 09, 2012
The Bruins have had the benefit of flying under the radar here in recent weeks, and it’s probably for the best, as they’ve been scuffling a bit after that impossibly hot streak earlier in the season. Last night things might’ve come to a head though, as the Bruins were beaten by the Buffalo Sabres 6-0. Bruins take big step back – Steve Conroy has the Bruins...
