Morning Skate: End

Well folks, as the Ottawa Board of Tourism’s slogan goes, “Ottawa: Where All Good Things Come to an End.” I think I’m making that up, but maybe not. The Bruins’ trouble in Kanata continued last night, with their winning streak ending via a 5-3 loss to the Senators. True to form for nearly all of […]

Morning Skate: Ongoing

Welcome to a new week, folks! While whatever hit Mark Kastelic put on Max Domi Saturday night to generate the reaction above wasn’t the most impactful part of the game, it certainly produced quite an image. Add some oil paints and a background and this could be some kind of Renaissance painting. Okay, that’s enough […]

RECAP: Bruins gut out a fantastic 5-3 WIN!

Nothing quite like a good momentum builder against your modern rival, amirite? First Period Things didn’t start off great, as the Leafs got on the power play fairly early, and while they may not be very well constructed, they do still have a Nick Robertson, something I am told is actually quite good to have.

Morning Skate: Khudini

Now you see him, now you don’t? The Bruins won their fourth game in a row last night, beating the Islanders 4-3 in a shootout. It was a pretty even, back-and-forth game: 1-0, 1-1, 2-1, 2-2, etc. It was Marat Khusnutdinov who emerged as the hero for the Bruins, first tying the game with under […]
