Bruins

Boston Bruins goalie Tim Thomas backstopped the team to the Stanley Cup championship last spring and earned himself a spot in the hearts of all Boston sports fans. Now he seems more interested in making political statements than stopping the puck.

Washington came into this game with the confidence of having beaten Boston two weeks ago. They left with a tough loss and possibly another crushing injury.

When the Stanley Cup champion Boston Bruins went to visit President Obama, as is tradition for victorious sports teams, goalie and star Tim Thomas did not attend. He had his reasons, but this is why I feel they were wrongly-executed.

The Boston Bruins are on fire! Winners of 13 of their last 14 games, with their only blemish coming from a 3-2 shootout loss to the Detroit Red Wings back on November 25, they have been playing dominant hockey.

The Boston Bruins, worse than the 1980s Detroit Red Wings. The one team that always looks for the cheap shots, dirty hits, and whines moans and complains about everything

Five takeaways, including the fans' and officials' perspectives, from the aftermath of the charging incident involving the Boston Bruins' Milan Lucic and the Buffalo Sabres' Ryan Miller.

The Stanley Cup Champion Boston Bruins will open training camp on September 16th. While Peter Chiarelli's shrewd management has left the Bruins core largely untouched from their successful 2010-2011 campaign, there are many things to watch for this camp.

I have finally become a UCLA Bruin. And I just cannot wait for summer to end and for the college life to start.

The UCLA Bruins have lost Malcolm Lee and Tyler Honeycutt to the NBA draft. Do they have suitable replacements?

Even early in his teens, it was clear that Bobby Orr would be a superstar in the NHL. And through 10 stellar seasons, he didn't disappoint, revolutionizing the game, on the ice and off.

Tomas Kaberle came to Boston with high hopes. He leaves hoping for a better hockey life (and paycheck) down south. Was the initial trade worth it for the Bruins?

The Boston Bruins, the 2011 Stanley Cup Champions, will get their customary individual day with the Stanley Cup this summer. The schedule for the Cup's trip has been released, and there are some very interesting locations on it.

The 2011 Boston Bruins set the hockey world ablaze en route to their first Cup since 1972. Heroes were born, doubts were erased, and blood pressures were forever altered over a thrilling two-month, 25-game stretch. Joe Ballway recaps his top moments.

With the Bruins winning the Stanley Cup, each Boston sports team has won their sports' championship over the past ten years. It is a historic time for Boston fans.

My personal letter to the Boston Bruins bandwagon

The Boston Bruins win their first Stanley Cup in 39 years.

For the first time in 39 years, the Bruins will get to parade down Boston with a championship. However, this kind of thing is old hat for the city, thanks to the Patriots, Red Sox and Celtics- yet the Bruins are now joining in the trend at long last.

It took 39 years for the Bruins to become Boston's fourth championship team in the last decade. Yet they did so by overcoming last year's playoff collapse, three Game 7s this year, and two 2-0 deficits.

Those who just see that the 2011 Stanley Cup finals were seven games would think that things were close. But although the Bruins needed seven games to beat the Canucks, the 23-8 goal differential for Boston tells another story.

Remembering what hockey and the Boston Bruins meant to an old woman

After taking commanding 2-0 lead, Canucks realized they are in for more of a fight in Stanley Cup Final than thought

The Canucks were dominating the Stanley Cup finals -- at least in the win column -- when they arrived in Boston. But after two losses by a combined 12-1 score, including a 4-0 defeat in Game 4, the Canucks and Roberto Luongo have a lot of new doubters.

The Bruins seemed headed for another nightmare against the Canucks after an ugly hit on Nathan Horton and another wasted long power play. But Game 3 finally gave Boston a break, and then some, to the tune of an 8-1 slaughter.

Coming back from 2-0 deficits in the Stanley Cup finals generally isn't done. Yet the 2009 Penguins did it and the 2010 Flyers almost did it, so the Bruins still have time to rally over the Canucks, assuming they win Game 3.

The Canucks are halfway to their first Stanley Cup, and they may have the NHL to thank. Because Alex Burrows wasn't suspended for biting, he was allowed to get two goals- including a very quick overtime tally- to power a 3-2 comeback win.

The Bruins lost a big chance to steal early momentum against the Canucks in Game 1. As such, the Bruins cannot blow another chance in Game 2, or else their Stanley Cup chances will be in trouble as they go back to Boston.

The Stanley Cup finals could get chippy, especially since the Canucks' Alex Burrows was not suspended for allegedly biting Boston's Patrice Bergeron in Game 1. As such, it may now get even harder for the Bruins to even the series Saturday.

Just like last year, two teams are playing for the Stanley Cup after going decades without a championship. But while the Bruins have waited 39 years to win a sixth title, the Canucks have gone 40+ years of existence without any rings.

One of these two NHL teams will break a championship drought of around 40 years. Will it be the top-seeded Canucks, or the dark horse Bruins?
