Matt Hunwick optimistic
|
|
 |
smokeyboy found this 3 months ago on www.bostonherald.com
| | In six games this season, defensman Matt Hunwick was a healthy scratch. A couple of other times, he saw scant action as a fourth-line winger. And for the majority of the regular season, Hunwick, like most of his Bruins [team stats] teammates, was a bit of a flop.
But that was most certainly not the case for the 24-year-old Hunwick in the playoffs, during which his two-way performance...

| | Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli said in Tuesday’s media address that he will evaluate the 2009-10 season as a whole before effectuating changes he may deem necessary to eradicate its ups and downs.
As he reviews the roster, Chiarelli may find no bigger conundrum than that of Dennis Wideman.
The defenseman had a mostly dreadful season as he saw his plus-minus drop by 46,...

Changes in air for Bruins
|
|
 |

| | Peter Chiarelli chooses his words carefully, particularly when he is talking to a roomful of reporters and TV cameras.
So it must have sounded a bit ominous for certain Bruins [team stats] players when they heard the team’s general manager yesterday hinting that big changes - of a sort - are coming this offseason.
“We have some young players who will be given...

Bruins’ Playoff Report Card

| | Your kid has not had an illustrious academic year. In fact, the word “dunce” came to mind at times. When final exams approach, even the most optimistic mom has very low expectations.
But surprise, surprise: The kid prepares diligently for the tests, working harder than at any other time in the school year. And the kid does pretty darned well. Maybe not straight A’s,...

Explosive situation

smokeyboy found this 3 months ago on www.bostonherald.com
| Just six years ago, the Bruins had a 3-1 series lead over the Montreal Canadiens and they were a team that should have been good enough to close it out. They didn’t, of course, and thanks to that fact and the impending lockout, the team was demolished. Mike Knuble, Brian Rolston, Sergei Gonchar, Michael Nylander and others didn’t play again for the B’s. Joe Thornton and...

History not on Bruins’ side

 |
smokeyboy found this 3 months ago on bostonherald.com
| | It comes down to this: If the Bruins lose tonight in this Game 7 showdown against the Philadelphia Flyers at the Garden, nobody is going to remember that, just weeks earlier, they scrapped and clawed to make it to the postseason.
Nobody is going to remember how Marc Savard worked his way back from the hospital bed to the playoff hotbed after being leveled by that cheap shot from the...

Bruins: We’re ready for Game 7...

| | The Bruins are calm, determined and consumed with the hope of an extended Stanley Cup playoff run.
That cross section of emotions pervaded the atmosphere yesterday at Ristuccia Arena. Coach Claude Julien conducted a normal tune-up practice for tonight’s Game 7 showdown with the Philadelphia Flyers at TD Garden. The winner will face the Montreal Canadiens in the Eastern Conference...

Bruins a step from big fall

| | The Bruins have one more shot to finish off the Philadelphia Flyers tomorrow night at the Garden in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference semifinals.
If not, they’ll find themselves on the wrong side of one historic comeback.
In attempt No. 3 to finish off the Flyers in Game 6 last night at the Wachovia Center, the B’s played with a lot more energy than they did in Game 5, but...

No time to jump ship

| | Because of the work they’ve done the last seven weeks, the heart and dedication they’ve displayed, the Bruins [team stats] have earned the benefit of the doubt for their shoddy performance Monday night at the Garden.
It must have been an aberration, an anomaly, not a true indication of where this team is. Fans should not be giving up on the B’s after one lousy showing....

Bruins aware of pressure
|
|
 |
smokeyboy found this 3 months ago on www.bostonherald.com
| | The pressure, the Philadephia Flyers are thinking right now, is all on the Bruins.
And it’s not hard to see the logic. When the B’s went up 3-0 in the Eastern Conference semifinal series against the Flyers, everyone assumed Philadelphia was toast. Only two teams in the history of the NHL - the 1974-75 New York Islanders and the ’41-42 Toronto Maple Leafs - came back to...
