Good

The Bruins were not doing too well up until last night when they shut out the Ottawa Senators 2-0. Before that game they were struggling and were on a 4 game losing streak, which sucks big time. It was starting the depressing feelings again and it made it not fun to watch them play because they had lost 4 in a row and when I turned the game on last night i thought they were going to lose again. It was kind of a boring game because the first two periods were scoreless, defensive periods. Then the 3rd period came and the Bruins came out flying around the ice. Pressuring the puck, throwing their weight around, hitting people hard, and controlling the tempo like they should always do. Then their first goal came when Sean Thorton stole the puck and threw it on net and we got a lucky rebound and Patrice Bergeron banged it in for the goal. Then Marco Sturm added a goal late to make it 2-0 and that's how the game ended. Let's see if they can keep the momentum going this Wednesday at 7 pm as they take on the Atlanta Thrashers at home.

Big Night Too

Tonight is just as big of a night for the Bruins as it is for the Celtics. The Bruins are trying to get a much needed win under their belt after they lost their last 2 straight games. The Celtics are trying to push their winning streak to 11 games and give them moment into the Christmas showdown. What sucks the most about these two games is that I can’t watch them tonight! I have a basketball game of my own at 7 pm tonight against our rival Amesbury Indians at home. I may be able to catch the end of the Bruins because they don’t start till 8:30 pm tonight but the Celtics are at 7. Who knows I may get home to catch the end of both games. I really hope I do because it would be depressing if I missed both of the games. Anyway let's see how my teams play out. Hopefully they both get the wins they need. Check the blog for updates after the Bruins games tonight.

Need a Win

The Bruins have lost 2 in a row. They lost to the New York Islanders on Saturday and lost to the Philadelphia Flyers on Monday. They lost 3-1 to the Flyers. It was a bad lose because they really didn’t play very well all game. They played ok during the first period but after that they broke down. They need to get back to their game and their tempo and control the flow of the game and get more control of the puck. They also need to cool it with all the penalties and getting guys in the box. That's what is killing them, penalties. Then they get on the disadvantage and that's when the other teams take advantage. Let’s see if they can get back on the right track this Friday when they travel to Illinois to take on the Chicago Blackhawks at 8:30 pm.

Doing Much Better

The Bruins won the double-header by beating the Toronto Maple Leafs again by a score of 5-2. Then that Saturday they went into New York to play the Islanders and ended up losing 3-2 in overtime. They improved their overall record to 16-9-6, home record to 10-5-3, and their away record 6-4-3 and moved to 7th place in the Eastern Conference and 2nd place in the Northeast Division. Let’s see if they can bring home 2 big points tonight against the Philadelphia Flyers and get in a tie for first place with the Buffalo Sabres .

Finish of The Double-Header

The Bruins are finishing off their double header against the Toronto Maple Leafs tonight at 7pm. Now I say it's a double header because a couple nights ago the Bruins faced off with the Leafs and won that game 7-2. Let's see if they can sweep the Maple Leafs and be on a 2 game winning streak. Like I said before, it feels good to be a Boston sports fan right now because the Bruins are finally playing how they should have been all season, and the Celtics are ripping up the Eastern Conference.

Where Has This Been All Season!?!

The Boston Bruins are rapidly improving their game and their standings. Last week they were 10-8-3, and after the last 7 games or so they have gone to 15-9-4. They moved from 18th place in the league to 10th place in the league. They also moved from 8th place in the conference to 4th place in the conference. Lastly they moved from 4th place in their division to 1st place, finally. This is where they should have been the whole time. Their division isn't hard at all so they should have been in first place to start the season. They are typical Bruins though; always waiting till people start to lose faith and lose interest, and then they turn it on. The Bruins are like one great big drama queen! They love the drama of hockey and the torment that they put their fans through. The bruins love their fans though, and a true Bruins fan will always love the Bruins; like I do. So thank god for them turning it on now because finally the people of Boston and anyone in Massachusetts who likes hockey finally has something else to cheer for besides the surging Celtics. It's finally okay to be a Bruins fan again because now it is getting interesting and it isn't embarrassing to watch them lose every night because they are not losing anymore. Let's see if they can keep the ball rolling in their next game on December 10th at 7 pm against their hated rival, the Toronto Maple Leafs . Which remind you is the team they traded Phil Kessel to; who was their star player of last season.

Bruins Are Rolling

The Bruins have won 5 of their last 6 games in the past week and a half. They won 3 of those games in a shoot out, one of them in overtime, and the other in regulation time. The only game they lost was to the New Jersey Devils in a shootout, 2-1. The opponents they beat in the 5 of the past 6 games are, in order, the Atlanta Thrashers , the Buffalo Sabres , the St. Louis Blues , and the Ottawa Senators . The Bruins have made leaps and bounds in this past couple weeks in their standings. The have moved up into 3rd place in the Eastern Conference and are now in 1st place in the Northeast Division. Their record has improved to 13-8-5 and they are also now in 10th place out of the entire league. They have really started to turn it on now and I hope that they keep it up.

Clutch Performances Bring Home 4 Points for Bruins

The Bruins came up big this past week with 2 huge road wins over rivals Atlanta Thrashers , and the Buffalo Sabres . These two wins really helped their record and helped them to gain on the leaders of the league and in their division. They Bruins have a big game tonight against the St Louis Blues in St. Louis. It would be huge for them to have a 3 game winning streak on the road. We will see how it plays out for them tonight. Check the blog after the game for more updates.

What Is Going On?!?!

Ever since beating Sid The Kid and the Pittsburgh Penguins , the Bruins have lost their last three games. It is kind of depressing to be a Bruins fan right now because they were incredible last year and were in first place and had a much better record at this point in the season last year. This year they are in 10th or 11th place and have an awful record. I think it is all karma for trading away Phil Kessel. I told myself when I head about the trade before the season started that they were not going to come even close to doing as good as they did last year because of it. He was the glue that kept their offense together. He created a lot of scoring opportunities for him and his teammates and without him, they cant. Who knows though, we will see if they can get back on track with a win this Thursday night in Atlanta against the Thrashers at 7 o’clock. Check the blog after the game for more updates.

Bruins Standings

The Bruins are currently 10th in the league with a record of 7-7-2 through the first 16 games. They currently have 16 points on the season and they are 5-4-1 at home, 2-3-1 away, and 4-4-2 in their last 10 games. They are currently in 3rd place in the Northeast division, behind the Ottawa Senators and the 1st place Buffalo Sabres. They need to pick it up if they want to keep up with those two teams and if they want to make the playoffs. Keep checking the blog for standing updates throughout the season.

Breaking The Streak

The Bruins finally came through and broke their loosing streak with a 4-2 win over the Buffalo Sabres this past Saturday night. Tonight they are hosting Sydney "Sid the Kid" Crosby and the Eastern Conference leading, 12-5 Pittsburgh Penguins at 7 o’clock tonight. Let’s see if they can keep the winning streak going or if they are going to lose again. They are not having a very good season but we got to keep the faith and hopefully they will turn the season around. Check out the blog after the game for updates.

Another loss

The Bruins lose again. Last night they played the Montreal Canadiens . I personally hate the Canadiens because I am a die hard Bruins fan and they are the biggest rival of the Bruins. They Bruins ended up losing last night in a shootout. They score of the shootout was 1-0 and the final score of the game was 2-1 Montreal. I think the Bruins have lost their last 4 or 5 games in a row. They really need to pick it up and start playing better if they want any chance at the cup or even the playoffs this year.

Slackin'

The Bruins are off to a rocky start this season with their 6-8 record. They are not looking like the bruins from last year or the bruins of old, and I think a lot has to do in part of the trade of Phil Kessel; their star first round draft pick from a few years back. They lost last night on the road to the Detroit Red Wings 2-0. It was only the second time all season that they have been shutout. But it also came on back to back nights. They went on the road to play the New York Rangers on Sunday night and got shutout 1-0 and then on that following Tuesday went to Detroit and lost 2-0. They look to break this 2 game loosing streak on Thursday against their hated rivals, the Montreal Canadiens. They have them at home at 7 o'clock. Look for updates after that game.

Bruins lose their "Future"

The Boston Bruins ended last season making it all the way to the semi finals of the Eastern Conference playoffs but lost in 7 games to the Carolina Hurricanes . They seemed to be in good shape going into this season, until they made a very bad trade on their part. They traded their future franchise player, Phil Kessel to the Toronto Maple Leafs . In exchange the Bruins got a first and second round pick in the 2010 draft, plus a first round pick in the 2011 draft. Kessel signed a 5 year, 27 million dollar deal with the Maple Leafs. I think it was a mistake by the Bruins because Kessel was only 21 years old and their best player, and he isn't even in his prime playing years yet. Maybe they made a good trade and maybe they will get a couple good players with he draft picks that they acquired. We will have to wait and see till the 2010 and 2011 seasons come. I hope it was the right trade. Tell me what you think of this trade or what you think of the Bruins.
