And just like that, it's time to turn attention toward the offseason. The Bruins' season came to a crashing end on Wednesday night in a sudden-death, overtime loss in Game 7 to the Washington Capitals. The conversation among Bruins brass now shifts from in-game strategy to bigger-picture decisions, and they'll have a few of them this summer. The biggest tasks for any team in any offseason is to identify a need and address that need. It's never as simple as that, of course, but it's what every executive will look to do this summer. The Bruins are already a deep...

Chalk it up to the rigors of playing an 18-month season. That's right -- the Bruins never really recovered from the toll that their Stanley Cup-winning season took. Jack Edwards and Andy Brickley look back on the season that was and also turn their eyes to the future, including the question of whether Tim Thomas will still be around.

The 2011-2012 season has ended for the Boston Bruins after their 2-1 game seven overtime loss to the Washington Capitals. It’s unfortunate that the run to repeat ended this early, but I am not too surprised that it did. There is a reason that the last team to repeat...

All we need to happen now is for the Senators to beat the Rangers, and the Panthers to beat the Devils, and the NHL's failure will be complete. Poor Gary Bettman must be drinking his face off right now, thinking about what the NHL playoffs are turning into. A television...

Last spring, Boston and the rest of the hockey-world watched in disbelief as every bounce, match-up and puck seemed to go Boston's way.
Everything, no matter how unlikely it seemed, fell in place for the Bruins.

The Washington Capitals have done a lot of talking and at times whining during this series that I don't hear the Boston Bruins doing this as much. I haven't watched them enough this season to know if it's their modus operandi or not. If the Capitals think they are going to run the Boston Bruins out of the building they are...

Epic Game 7 Win Revives Hope in DC
It all started with the waiting game.
In the opening 10 minutes of Game Seven between the Boston Bruins and Washington Capitals, the two teams exchanged a total of nine shots (6 for Boston, 3 for the Caps) and 15 hits (7 for Boston, 8 for the Caps).
Neither club had the courage to take control of the play, so the game wafted into a tentative...

from NESN, The Bruins season is over.
What the usually means is it’s time to start finger pointing, but not all fingers will be directed toward the B’s offense, defense, power play or bench—it will be at the officiating.
