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...

Twelve hours after the latest loss, and roughly an hour before the Bruins were scheduled to take the ice for practice yesterday at Ristuccia Arena, captain Zdeno Chara was out there in full gear, offering pointers to fellow defenseman Derek Morris and taking shots on goaltender Tuukka Rask .

Andre Ringuette/NHLI Photos But that's kind of a big deal, since it matches their season high. The "team goes up...team goes down" Bruins survived a tough beginning to come back and win in a shootout in Ottawa last night, 4-3. The B's are giving most of the credit on this one to Tim Thomas, who recorded 27 saves, some among his best of the year, and gave his teammates a chance to get back...

Ever year I make a post this this and every year it makes me look foolish by April. And yet, that never deters me from doing it all over again the very next September... I'll have more in depth looks at NW division elsewhere, but here's my guess for Conference Standings: EAST - Pittsburgh Washington Buffalo Philadelphia Carolina Boston Montreal New Jersey ----------------- New York Toronto Ottawa Tampa...
Maybe the Milan Lucic-Marc Savard-Michael Ryder trio will make up the Bruins’ top line in 2009-10. Likewise, the Zdeno Chara-Derek Morris combination could be the Black-and-Gold’s No. 1 defensive pairing. After all, they were the headliners Saturday night when the Bruins played their final exhibition, a choppy and inconsistent 4-2 loss to the Blue Jackets on Causeway Street.
