The Bruins won! Sure, they gave up a 2-0 first-period lead, and they allowed Atlanta to tie the game again, 3-3, in the final minute. But Patrice Bergeron beat Ondrej Pavelec in the shootout to give the B's their first win in like forever. They got that 2-0 lead on goals by Marco Sturm and Michael Ryder. Tuukka Rask, filling in once again for the slightly-injured Tim Thomas, countered by letting two...

Column by EDDIE SEFKO / The Dallas Morning News | esefko@dallasnews.comEddie Sefko | The Mavericks got Tim Thomas back on Wednesday, and I can't stress how important this could be for them before the season is done. Thomas was just knocking the rust off after September knee surgery, but at the end of the first half, he made the kind of hustle play – digging a ball out of a scrum, then hitting...

Kind of a welcome breather yesterday, huh? No controversial coaching decisions. No stymied power plays. No frustrating breakdowns in defensive adjustments. No Laurence Maroney running 11 yards to gain two. No leaving Tim Thomas helplessly out to dry against a flurry of goals. No settling for threes when the lane is wide open. No red zone failures. Nobody lost. Around here, this week...we'll take it....

Did you spend all day yesterday watching the rain pour down and hoping that at least things would end well with a Celtic/Bruin doubleheader? If you did, you probably wished you'd gone out and stood in the rain all day instead; you'd feel about the same. We'll start with the Bruins, whose loss was a little less painful. Sure, Tim Thomas' shutout streak was broken, battered and mutilated. But every...

The Pittsburgh Penguins ended a four-game losing streak in dramatic fashion last night, scoring with just fractions of a second remaining in regulation to send the game to overtime. As the final seconds ticked off the clock, Jordan Staal passed the puck to Pascal Dupuis, who fired a successful shot off with 0.4 seconds remaining to tie the game against the Boston Bruins. Dupuis then scored another...

by Adam Gretz Filed under: Bruins , Penguins , NHL Videos To quote fictional hockey coach Ted Orion in D3: The Mighty Ducks (Hey, I admit it, I've watched it): "How long does it take to score a goal? Less than a second. " That's a lesson the Boston Bruins learned on Saturday night as they were 0.4 seconds away from pulling out a back-and-forth 5-4 win. Instead, a broken stick, a buzzer-beating...

The team will be without the services of forward Chris Kunitz ( above ) however. Bylsma said Kunitz will be out of the lineup for approximately two weeks due to a "lower-body" ailment. According to Bylsma, Kunitz had been playing with the...

More photos » by Paul Battaglia - AP Browse more photos » I have a few more details on how the Wild ended up landing Niklas Backstrom up at Globe on Hockey today, including the tidbit that Manny Fernandez was on the trade block long before he was ever salary dumped to Boston in 2007. It's hard to believe, too, that they thought they had their No. 1 in Josh Harding more than three years...

Remember a couple of weeks ago, when Claude Julien said he was getting tired of hard-fought losses? Well, last night must have exhausted him. The Bruins played stifling defense on Florida (holding them to one shot in the second period) and Tim Thomas battled through a cold to stop 23 shots, to follow his shutout of Pittsburgh with another solid effort. But the B's' offense couldn't solve Tomas Vokoun,...

One of the traits that separates elite goaltenders from the rest is their ability to steal a game for their respective team. On Thursday night, Tomas Vokoun and Tim Thomas took center stage at the TD Garden, doing everything they could to try to earn two points in the standings. The two netminders matched each [...]

Tim Thomas has been adamant about his stance on shootout losses: They go down as an overtime loss in the standings, but in his mind they feel like a tie.

from Spector at Fox Sports, The National Hockey League has witnessed some tremendous performances by superstar goaltenders and rising stars. Here’s a look at the decade’s top 10 NHL netminders: 10. Tim Thomas: “The Tank” spent the first half of this decade bouncing between the AHL and Europe but by the end of this decade the Boston Bruins had a late-blooming star in the 35-year-old...
