Jesse Connolly: Is Matt Cooke Going to Pay Tonight?

18, Mar 2010

March 18th has arrived. The rematch is here. Revenge, a thought prevalent on the minds of every Bruins’ fan since the second Matt Cooke virtually assassinated the rest of Marc Savard’s season, can finally be had. But, with just two hours until the puck drops, the big question remains:

Will it?

NHL Disciplinarian Colin Campbell will be keeping a watchful eye, as the former New York Rangers’ H…

Andy Strickland: Armstrong’s Big Decision/THis Summers “Monster”?

18, Mar 2010

Ty Conklin gets back between the pipes for the Blues tonight in New York after consecutive sub par performances by Chris Mason. It didn’t help Mason that the Blues sat on their backsides close to the entire first period vs. Colorado but I think it’s safe to say Mason would admit he could have played better.

I realize Mason’s career numbers against Colorado are pretty impressive, but this…

Tom Mast: Pens vs. Bruins Rematch (with audio)

18, Mar 2010

The Penguins will travel to Boston to play the Bruins at 7:00 on Thursday, only 11 days after after Matt Cooke’s hit to Marc Savard. Check back here for updates and recaps.

It looks like Savard will miss the remainder of the season. Will this be a hockey game? Will it be a street fight? Both teams have a lot on the line. After losing to the Devils Wednesday, the Penguins have fallen to fourth p…

Ek’s Note: As I have stated many times now, the NHL Draft is almost becoming more intriguing than the NHL Trade Deadline from a trade rumor standpoint. The reasons for this are obvious, but it mainly comes down to Money and Options.

Due to players moving on after t…

Frank Krewda: Where’d The Hate Go?

17, Mar 2010

Aside from some fire from defenseman Mark Stuart, I thought I was watching a home video of an eighth grade dance, and not a hockey game between the Boston Bruins and Philadelphia Flyers on March 11. You know, girls on one side of the dance floor, boys on the other, and nary the twain shall meet.
There was nothing special about Stuart’s fights with Dan Carcillo and Ian Lapperierre; no punches of…

Jesse Connolly: Rask, Bruins Head Home After 5-2 Win Over Hurricanes

16, Mar 2010

After a grueling, seven-game road trip over the span of just 11 days, the Boston Bruins are heading home on a positive note. The B’s, propelled by a 30-save effort from netminder Tuukka Rask and three third-period goals, defeated the Carolina Hurricanes 5-2 on Tuesday night. With the win, the Bruins evened up their record at 3-3-1 on the road swing.

Patrice Bergeron opened the scoring just 23…

Matt Karash: Dream big day in Raleigh!

16, Mar 2010

For those of us Canes fans who are willing to risk likely disappointment and dream big like a 10-year-old kid, there is a HUGE hockey game in Raleigh tonight.

Monday was very good to the Canes. Boston lost in New Jersey and Alexander Ovechkin played his way out of the game against the Canes on Thursday.

So Boston is now up 8 points on the Canes, they are even in games and the Canes will l…

Jon Jordan: Thoughts for a Tuesday

16, Mar 2010

Last you heard from me, I was in a limerick sort of mood, inspired by St. Patty’s Day and the Lightning’s own Facebook contest which, apparently, I did not win. (To that I say, “Fiddlesticks!” And to any mid-week St. Pat’s, by the way, a double “Fiddlesticks!” as well.)

I’ll return to prose today, in an effort to sort out my jumbled thoughts on this and that.

—We’ll start…

Jesse Connolly: Thomas, Bruins Look to Bounce Back Against Marty and the Devils

15, Mar 2010

Kevin Dupont of the Boston Globe is reporting that Tim Thomas will be getting the nod tonight down in New Jersey, where the Bruins will battle the Devils. Boston, now 2-2-1 through five games of their season-long seven-game road trip, rode rookie Tuukka Rask for the last two tilts, but will turn back to their veteran who has performed quite admirably throughout his career against tonight’s opponen…

Andy Strickland: Who’s Better, Weaver or Pronger?

15, Mar 2010

There has been a lot of discussion in recent weeks about the Blues success killing penalties. A lot factors come into play here. To me a lot of comes down to how prepared the Blues are in terms of their understanding of the opponents tendencies on the power play. This is where Assistant Coach Brad Shaw comes into play. This guy has done an admirable job coaching up the Blues PK unit since joining…

Roger Mussa: Whats next?

15, Mar 2010

Dominate the Penguins.
Struggle against the Islanders.

Which Devils team will come out to play the Bruins? As things looked like they were getting back on track the Devils still remain inconsistent.
Coming down the stretch of the regular season the Devils are not concerned about winning the Atlantic Division but simply playing Devils hockey.
Are they a tired bunch? That remark is usually l…

Ovechkin Gets 5 + Game Misconduct

Pop quiz hot shot, was Alex’s hit as bad as Maxim Lapierre’s hit on Scott Nichol…or as bad as Matt Cooke’s hit on Marc Savard, etc, etc?

Let’s have a look:

Lapierre Boards Nichol

Cooke Destroys Savard

How do these hits all compare?

This is now THE HOT-BUTTON ISSUE in the NHL and with so many people worried about the safety of th…

Steven Hindle: Caps @ Hawks | A Preview of the Stanley Cup Finals? + BEST LINE POLL

14, Mar 2010

See you in June?

A lot has been made of both of these teams throughout this long and arduous regular season, but, with less than a month left to play, we are finally going to get a look at how these two teams stack up against one another.

The Blackhawks are the youthful mirror of the Capitals. They have become the new kids on the block in the Western Conference and have such a young, t…

Kamal Panesar: Montreal-Boston: Sergei Kostitsyn Stars in Habs 3-2 win over Boston Bruins

14, Mar 2010

Well it wasn’t the classic Habs-Bruins matchup that we were expecting, but it was an entertaining game never-the-less. With both teams fighting for their playoff lives this four-point, head-to-head game was massively important for both teams.

Sergei Kostitsyn led the charge for the Habs scoring two goals, including the eventual game winner. As Rask came out to play the puck behind the net and…

Steven Hindle: Poll: What’s the best line in Hockey? + Norris Poll Results

13, Mar 2010

Duncan Keith, Clear Cut Favorite to Win Norris

In continuing with our series of fan polls as we close out the NHL’s regular season, it is clear to see that, among Hockeybuzz readers, Duncan Keith of the Chicago Blackhawks is the run-away favorite to win the Norris Trophy.

Although I split the Norris poll into two categories, most of you agreed that the top 3 candidates were clearly ahead o…

Jesse Connolly: Bergeron, Linemates Stepping It Up in Savard’s Absence

12, Mar 2010

With Marc Savard recently deemed to be likely done for the year, fresh off of a visit to a neurologist to have his concussion examined, the Bruins know they’re in desperate need of someone to supplant the star center’s missing offense. Then again, the B’s have been in dire need of anyone to consistently score goals since the 2009-10 season began.

During their first extended stretch without #91…

Andy Strickland: Blues Negotiating with Former First Rounder

12, Mar 2010

The St. Louis Blues are in the midst of negotiating a contract with former first round pick and Notre Dame standout Ian Cole.

Concussion problems limited Cole to just 30 games played this season but word is the sturdy D-man has checked out ok and is not suffering any lingering effects.

Even though Cole is a smart kid and academics remain a priority for he and his family, sources close to…

Jon Jordan: Lightning Limericks

12, Mar 2010

Since we’re a step closer to the official death of the 2009-10 Tampa Bay Lightning after last night’s overtime loss in Toronto left them six points out of the playoff picture with 16 games left to play, I thought I’d forgo anything serious today, in an effort to lighten the mood a bit.

Through their official Facebook page, the Lightning are promoting a limerick contest and offering ticket…
