Bruins Journey Through California

Holding a three game losing streak, things don’t get easier for Boston as they begin their California road trip. The Bruins kick off their trip tonight against the Anaheim Ducks, who they have yet to play this season. Following Wednesday’s visit to Anaheim, the Bruins rematch with Los Angeles on Thursday, and San Jose Saturday.  The Bruins finds themselves at a crucial point of the season, slipping away from the leaders of the league. BRUINS VS DUCKS Perhaps the easiest test of the trip for Boston, Anaheim currently sits in sixth place of the Pacific Division, ahead of only...

Breaking Down Potential Wild Card Weekend

Potential Wild Card Weekend Despite many NFL Sundays still ahead, it’s intriguing to ponder the potential matchups for the 2017-18 NFL Playoffs. With many surprises in the playoff picture, wild card weekend could in fact “be wild.” At the start of the season I did not anticipate Jacksonville to ever hold the AFC wild card lead. Yet here we are, just past the halfway point of the season, and the 5-3 Jags are even threatening for first in their division. With that said, if the playoffs started today, here’s what we would have to look forward to wild card...

A DIFFERENT FEEL FROM THE 2011 STANLEY CUP CHAMPS

The start of the Bruins season has been an emotional drain on Boston hockey fans. Failing to scrounge up back-to-back wins at any point during the season, the Bruins have not looked how we hoped. They give us hope, only to let us down a few nights later. What’s the problem with this years team? Why don’t we see the same championship potential from a Bruins team, consisting of many whom actually played on the 2011 Stanley Cup championship team? Let’s break it down… A LACK OF CHEMISTRY One thing common among all championship teams, really for any sport,...

Bruins Seek to Build Momentum

by: @inlow005 Following a solid 2-1 win over the San Jose Sharks Thursday night, the Bruins look to further build some momentum as they host the “Best in the West” Los Angels Kings Saturday night.  With Anton Khudobin getting the nod over Tuukka Rask against San Jose, the Bruins edged out the Sharks in a defensive battle.  Rask, who has missed some time with a concussion, will most likely return to the net to face the Kings. HEINEN’S HEROICS More impressive than the defensive efforts of Boston Thursday night was the offensive performance from youngster Danton Heinen.  After being...

Bruins Keys to Rematch with Avalanche

by: @inlow005 Following a rough home loss at the hands of the Colorado Avalanche Monday, the Boston Bruins take the ice in Denver tonight for a shot at redemption. The impressive offensive outing from opening night evaporated Monday afternoon.   Many things need to change on both sides of the ice before the rematch with Colorado. KREJCI NEEDS A REBOUND While watching Boston’s opener last week, nobody stood out more to me than David Krejci.  He assisted three of the team’s four goals and went positive in the point differential column.  The chemistry displayed between veteran Krejci and NHL rookie...

NFL Matchup of the Week

by @inlow005 After another uneventful Thursday Night Football match up, football fans across the nation eagerly await another NFL Sunday. This week features some of the best match ups we will see the entire NFL season. Baltimore hosts Pittsburgh in a fight for first of the AFC North. Division foes Oakland and Denver battle it out at Mile High. And Los Angeles (Rams) travels to Dallas where they look to take down the Cowboys, fresh off a road win in Arizona. But the game that grabs me more than the rest?  The NFC North square-up in Minnesota. A FIGHT...

Hot at Home

by @inlow005 A REVIVED REDEMPTION After a disappointing finish to last year’s postseason, the Boston Bruins have started off their preseason campaign hot. Perhaps the 4-2 playoff series loss to Ottawa sparked a fuel given their current 4-1 preseason record. With just two away games left before the season opener, Boston finished the preseason undefeated on home ice. The B’s look to capture their first road win of the preseason this Thursday as they head to Philadelphia before a rematch with the Blackhawks on Saturday. Although favorites like Patrice Bergeron and David Pastrnak have seen limited ice time, most...

The Number 63

by @inlow005 Despised by the greater majority of NHL fans, Brad Marchand is constantly in the spotlight. His antics on the ice are different from that of any other player in hockey. One moment he could be wailing on the star player of the opposing franchise. Then, five minutes after his trip to the box, he scores the game tying goal late in the third. The list of reasons Marchand fills opposing fans with fuming anger is immense. But in the eyes of Bostonians, number 63 is looked upon with admiration, nearly in a heroic sense. FROM ROOKIE TO...
