Just curious...With what looks like the World Series Champions and the best team in football how much if any press is this Bruin team getting in Boston??

Apparently Boston College is ranked #2 in something (I forget which sport) as well, so I imagine not very much.

Also, Kevin Garnett and Ray Allen are on the Celtics now.

the answer is a well deserved zero amount of press

Sox-World Champs
Patriots-undefeated
BC Football-ranked #2 in nation
Celtics-relevant again after adding KG and Ray Allen
Bruins-irrelevant, wake me if theyre playing well in May

As a fan of an original six team I dont like to see cities like Boston and Chicago struggle ...Boston like Toronto is a town full of a lot of professional sports teams..However if they win they will get the attention

Good luck Bruins

WHAT?! Jordan Sigalet is being recalled?
Why? What for? This is strange. More news coming I suppose.



ok Manny Fernandez has got himself a little knee strain.
troyomac
This is great news for the Bruins, as Timmy will get more starts!
troyomac
W00t!

Big win for Boston. It definately wasn't pretty, but a win's a win!

Metropolit played an amazing game, and made a couple of beauty moves to hang onto the puck in OT before setting up the winner.

Kessel looked amazing as usual.

Thomas let in more than 2 goals for the first time this season, but still looked decent in goal.

Bring on the Senators!


Oh, Chara is still a bum, I'd like to see him traded, but I don't know anything about his contract details, and I doubt the Bruins would be smart enough to get rid of the flunky.
serge
FYI Chara is in the second year of a 5 year contract that pays him $7.5 million per..I would think there wouldnt be too many takers ...

That's so gross. I knew he made that much, but for 5 years... I'm disgusted. I might be sick.

Yeah, just a weird fluke thing. Had some quick surgery.

I was upset because it was going to be the first hockey game in a while that I could actually watch the whole game.

Chiarelli is pissed. I don't blame him. Apparently people (media?) were saying that it was partially Bergeron's fault for his injuries, and it got Chiarelli wired up.

Good read. It pisses me off when the Glen Healeys of the world (not saying he specifically took this stance on this issue) try to blame the victim on these hits. It was the same crap when Kesler got cross checked, or even going back to the Moore incident. Sometimes serge is right, the media (some of them) are buffoons.
Zach6668
Sometimes it is the victim's fault.

Not even close in this case, but sometimes the guys do turn their back to the play in the middle of a hit. Some people are stupid. Probably not as stupid as the people who hit them when their back had been turned for 3 minutes, like this case, mind you.
serge
interesting...yes its my point exactly...there are a few of them that give them all a bad reputation...
troyomac
The score of this one didn't indicate how lopsided this game was. Thomas played absolutely great to keep the Bruins in it, but Ottawa is just a phenominal team. It pains me that we have to play them again tomorrow.
serge
Two goals by Kobasew..I am loving that...

He had a great game. Bochenski is back, and played a decent game. Even Chara didn't suck as much as usual tonight. None of the Bruins stuck out to me as having played a bad game, and we got crushed. It's scary how good Ottawa is.
serge
its frustrating to play Ottawa..you play a great game and still lose...I ve been there
Speed Limit
Kobasew this year is making the trade with Calgary look a lot better. He's been a good spark for a team that needs a little offensive punch.

This is the channel most Ottawa/Montreal games are on for me.

I just got home from watching the pats/colts at my buddies house. I missed most of the 1st, but wow another Kobasew goal. If I'm not wrong, that's his 6th tying him with Kessel for the team lead.. it's nice to see these guys doing well. If only more Bruins would contribute more offensively (ie Murray, Schaefer, Chara, Axelson).

1-0 after 1....let's go BRUINS!

God, this officiating is terrible. It's a conspiracy against the Bruins.

I phoned Shaw, and they're telling me it's blacked out in Ontario...

So I bitch and whine and ask for a Centre Ice number so I can call and bitch to them, they say it doesn't exist, so I find an email address on NHL.com and try to email, but it's a stupid form thing, that I don't think worked, then the intermission of my Chi-Nas game starts showing the Ott game, so I flip to the channel it was supposed to be on, and it is.

Did my whining work for once?

It's definately not blacked out in Ontario. I'm watching it fine.

It pains me to say this, but switch to Rogers.

There is no Rogers TV here.

It's Shaw or satellite. I can't afford satellite, lol.

I have Rogers for cell, and I hate the company with a passion, but Shaw is no better.

Brutal man. I hope they shape up for ya.

That period sucked. 2 of the Bruins penalties shouldn't have been, and Ottawa should have had a couple that weren't called. It's bullshit.

Thomas is stopping everything though, hopefully that keeps up in the 3rd. He's played AMAZING this year, and deserves a shutout, especially against the cheating Senators. ( I know it's not their fault the refs are cheating, but **** them anyway ).

I need the Sens, Hawks, Jackets to win for a cute little parlay.

Ugh, that was brutal. Bruins almost won in OT, but almost isn't good enough. I guess I should feel lucky that we got a point against a tough team, but I really think that we got screwed in the 2nd period, and even though no goals were scored against us, we didn't get the chances we should have.

Tuuka Rask is now with the team and will be backup until Fernandez is 100%. Sigalet reassigned to AHL. First time Rask is with the big club.

Bruins look great halfway through the first, had a good period of at least 3-4 mins where it didn't leave the Buffalo zone.

press conference? is THAT wthat that was? looked to me like he was setting up his audition tape ( as many hockey players strive to do) for some soap opera role

i feel bad for him for the hit.... but watching his press performance.. i wanted to smack Bergy for being a shamefully bad actor

truth is... jones didn't intend to hit bergy from behind (and had bergy not turned his back to an oncoming hit like we're taught in motherf**king peewee, and listened to don cherrys fundamentals on coaches corner he wouldnt be in this mess)

either way... as a hockey player he's soft.... as an actor, he's wooden

I dont think he is faking it, however I agree with the notion that as bad as it sounds Bergeron is partly responsible....Hits like that happen 3 or 4 times a game on most nights and it could of been avoided easily...
