The initial shock of the Bruins’ collapse has faded and given way to a full-blown autopsy. Following exit interviews on Tuesday, the still-warm body of the 2022-23 season has been split wide open and exhaustedly examined with hindsight. But while every injury and lineup change has been meticulously second-guessed, there’s one question still unanswered: What happens next? This season was …
You could hear a pin drop in TD Garden. A historic season in which Boston was unquestionably the best team in hockey and seemed destined to lift the Stanley Cup was snuffed out in an instant when Carter Verhaeghe beat Jeremy Swayman 8:35 into overtime to clinch the series for Florida. It was a stunning and painful end for the …
Brad Marchand had the game on his stick. In the dying seconds of regulation, the Bruins’ stalwart winger broke through the Florida defense from center ice with a clean look at goaltender Sergei Bobrovsky. Had he scored, not only would the roof of TD Garden blast into space, but he would’ve sent Florida packing for the summer. Instead, Bobrovsky made …
The Boston Bruins will return home with a chance to advance following an eventful 6-2 victory in Florida on Sunday afternoon. Boston swept both road games in Sunrise and now can eliminate the Panthers with a win on Wednesday. Linus Ullmark stood on his head again, stopping 41 of 43 shots before being relieved late. Offensively, Taylor Hall and Jake …
The Bruins bounced back from a poor performance on Wednesday to beat Florida 4-2 and regain the series lead 2-1. Boston controlled the flow of play for the bulk of the night, rarely giving Florida any good chances. Despite not having Patrice Bergeron or David Krejci in the lineup, the Bruins held Florida to just twelve shots through two periods. …
Any thoughts of a quick first-round cakewalk for the Bruins quickly dissipated on Wednesday night following a 6-3 trouncing by Florida. The Panthers scored four goals in the third period to pull away from Boston and even the series at one. With Patrice Bergeron missing his second consecutive game, the Bruins looked just as choppy and disjointed as Monday night. …
The Bruins’ 2023 Stanley Cup Playoff campaign is off and running following a 3-1 victory in Game One against Florida on Monday night. Linus Ullmark led the way, saving thirty-one of thirty-two shots, and three different goal scorers chipped in to give the B’s an early series advantage. The day did not start on the right foot for Boston. Hours …
Following the Bruins’ 5-2 victory over Washington on Tuesday night, they not only added to their NHL record win total, but they also leapt the ’78 Montreal Canadiens for the most points in a single season with 133, and still have a game to play. While the lineup and coaching staff have deservedly received loads of plaudits for their performance, …
It’s been spoken and written about ad nauseum about how well the Bruins have played this season, but it truly has been a historic year. Last Thursday night against Columbus they set a franchise record for wins and points in a season (121). On Saturday they became just the fourth team ever to win sixty games and fastest to clinch …
The Bruins have been missing both Taylor Hall and Nick Foligno from the lineup for just about a month, but that should be changing soon. Multiple sources have confirmed that Hall has been practicing with the team, but is still short of a full recovery. Head coach Jim Montgomery said that “he looked really good” but also denied Darren Dreger’s …
