Last night was Bruins vs. Penguins so you knew that both of us were going to have to weigh in. The two best teams in the East faced off last night and the over arching theme was resiliency. After the Penguins tied it up with 0.3 seconds left to send it to OT, some teams […]
Last night, Bruins finally managed to put together a solid “60 minute effort”, as the kids like to say. You know who is happy? Granted it was against the Carolina Hurricanes, who are taking a long ride on the struggle bus, but the effort was the Bruins’ most consistent of the season and they were […]
After his abrupt and somewhat surprising departure from Boston this summer, tonight marks Tyler Seguin’s return to Boston. It’s been four months since the fireworks of the July 4th trade that sent Seguin to Dallas Stars. The pain of that day still stings at times, but like any resilient New Englander, I just have to […]
Okay, Team USA Hockey, I’m disappointed. While the internets, Alison and Lindsay, and our twitter feed is all a flutter with Team Canada’s Olympic Camp, all we’ve got from Team USA are crickets. Now we know that hockey is the #4 sport in this country and we’ve reluctantly come to terms with this but the […]
Happy 28th Birthday to the one…the only…the Boston legend himself, Patrice Bergeron. Even if you don’t like the Bruins , you love Patrice. Even Pants loves Patrice. I mean, just look at him. The way he plays. The way he carries himself. His face. There is a reason I call him ‘Perfect Patrice’.
Did that really just happen? I keep waiting to wake up and find that it was all just some horrible nightmare. I’m Leo Dicaprio, spinning that totem, waiting for it to keep spinning to let me know that this is some cruel inception. But unfortunately it is not. Game 6 really did happen. The Bruins […]
I love me a good montage and this one especially awesome. Firstly because it all about the Bruins (natch). And secondly because they use Russell Crowe to narrate. I love me some Russell Crowe. Just ask Pants. His voice + the Bruins…I’m having ALL the feels. created by ‘trigger687’
Everyone knows that any nerd movie worth watching involves some sort of an epic quest – a quest for something so important, powerful, that it could forever change the course of human history. Lord of the Rings. Star Wars. The Goonies. Tonight at 8pm in the Madhouse on Madison, another quest will begin. Warriors will […]
Let me preface this by saying that I’m not typically a girl that goes to bars alone. Mainly, because it makes me feel more acutely single than I already do and also because I try not to drink alone. Last Friday, I set aside my rule and ventured out to my local in the pouring […]
Normally we don’t tend to feature the same player twice in our Foxy Friday feature, but after what Gregory Campbell did on Wednesday night, how could we not? from bosstownsports.tumblr.com In case you’ve been living under a rock since Wednesday, just take a moment to review what transpired to bring about this Foxy Friday Sequel. […]
Patrice Bergeron certainly has a flair for the dramatic, doesn’t he? First, his game tying and then game winning OT goal verses Toronto in Round 1 and now this. While credit goes to Bergeron for scoring the goal, mad props go to Jaromir Jagr for making it all possible. His play on Evgeni Malkin […]
We love you guys. Seriously. I sent the word out last night that I was looking for Foxy Friday nominees and our twitter feed blew up with a ton of suggestions. As I started to google them to ascertain their Foxy Friday potential, there was one that clearly stood out amongst the rest. Detroit Red Wings’ Brendan […]
If last night’s Bruins/Rangers game was a movie, it would be called “There Will Be Blood”. Lumber was a-flying and the team trainers were going through cotton gauze like Taylor Swift goes through boyfriends. Patrice Bergeron, Zdeno Chara, and Carl Hagelin were just some of the players that needed zippers to close up gashes. Tyler […]
Boston Bruins center David Krejci is a Clark Kent. During the regular season, he is just this mild-mannered guy, playing good hockey. He’s not particularly flashy. In fact, some times you don’t even realize he is there. Then playoffs come around. And he becomes this. In just four games this post season, Krejci has […]
Dear NHL, If you do not use this song for any and all Stanley Cup Playoffs montages, then you’re just doing it wrong. It’s perfection. You know what? Just hire us and we’ll take care of it for you. Sincerely, Chuck & Pants
Last night, my hockey/lumberjack boyfriend scored his 300th NHL goal. Rick Nash was all… And I was all… Then Rick Nash scored his 301st career goal. He was all… And I was all… Flyers did managed to score two goals – including one that one off of Jake Voracek’s face – but alas […]
Last night’s Bruins vs. Pens was pretty good…until the 3rd period. That is when the Pens’ offence sprang to life and took advantage of some uncharacteristic mistakes by my beloved Bruins. Pens scored 3 goals in under 5 minutes and went on to defeat the Bruins 3-2. Now, I’m not making excuses [because there is […]
The last couple of days have been crazy. Slammed at work. Prepping huge event. Plus 6-day work trip to Seattle. Just when I think that it is all too much, I see this photo and feel instantly better. photo courtesy of boston.com & Jessica Deitsch Thanks, Tyler Seguin, for just being you. We appreciate you […]
Mullets. Eyebrows. Fights. Three things we love and post about probably more often than is normal. But we can’t help it. And when you have all three AT THE SAME TIME – well, we’re just smitten. We must honor you with our most prestigious award. This week’s Foxy Friday is Adam McQuaid of the Boston Bruins This […]
No secret that Pants and I appreciated a good beard, especially come playoff time. So you can imagine my utter delight when I saw this while watching the Stars vs. Avalanche game last night. GREAT ODIN’S RAVEN! Now that is a beard! It redefines the term “Fear the Beard”. With the helmet on, this thing […]
