Leading 3-2 midway through the third period Friday night, the Bruins looked set to tie up this series. Unfortunately, Tampa Bay rallied to win 4-3 in OT. Against the deafening boo’s at TD, they now face a 3-1 series deficit. While this series has been close, Bruce Cassidy and his merry men will need to put on their comeback hats. Boston has some sheer class on the ice, but they also went all in at the trade deadline. February 20 to 26 was a productive time, but has it all paid off?

The NHL obviously believed that Boston Bruins’ forward, Brad Marchand, would not repeat himself. HA! Wrong again! Gross!!

The Boston Bruins winger and professional agitator Brad Marchand has been banned for five games following his elbow to the face of New Jersey’s Marcus Johansson.

Now the length of the ban isn’t what’s annoyed me here (for once), it’s that the ban doesn’t include the All-Star Game this weekend, the NHL’s annual fundraiser/distraction. This feels like further reinforcement that the NHL has lost touch and is pandering to the dollar before its own integrity.Read More →
