Yep, the Anaheim Ducks came to play. Yes, they had Troy Terry back from COVID and he scored. So did a guy who hadn’t had a goal in 44 games. The Bruins lost, 5-3.
I don’t really feel like talking about it since I was in and out during the game getting the stuff done that would allow me to relish in the most sacred of nighttime rituals, Pajama Time. Pajama Time involves showering then pajama-ing, and often cozying up with a comfy blanket. Continue reading
This weekend, the Bruins held off the Winnipeg Jets 3-2 after a late penalty taken caused them to end the game on the kill. Thankfully the Jets were 0% on the power play with 4 chances. With this win, the Bruins 8-2 in their last 10 and are 3 points behind the Toronto Maple Leafs and safely in the Wild Card 1 position. If the B’s can hold onto that playoff slot, they can avoid the meat grinder of the Atlantic Division in the playoffs. Still, those days are a ways off. Continue reading
The Boston Bruins won their second game against the Washington Capitals this month in a tight game that was won within the final minute 4-3. But, that doesn’t mean that there weren’t casualties.

Since the players will not be going to the Olympics they have plenty of time to make up these games. Continue reading
Last night Willie O’Ree’s number 22 was lifted to the rafters and retired forever more. Mr. O’Ree was not in attendance but was able to add his remarks and watch via remote. When you’re nearly 85 years old and probably don’t want to travel as much due to Covid, you can do whatever you want. With he and his family watching, former Bruin Anson Carter along with some of the youth and graduates from Score Hockey lifted the banner in his honor. Continue reading
Tonight’s the night! Willie O’Ree will have his number 22 lifted to rafters and retired to celebrate his breaking the color barrier in the NHL 64 years ago. Originally this ceremony was to take place last year but was pushed back due to COVID restrictions. Tonight the fans will be there to witness it and appreciate him. Continue reading
