Thin Skinned Down in the Sunshine State: Clever Bruins Smack Gets Silenced

21 May, 2011

My eternal problem with the Southeast division: There are no rivalries in it in any way approaching those we once enjoyed with our predecessor Patrick division, and subsequently, I can’t summon the hate. And in instances as with what a segment of Lightning fans in Tampa, led by a silly DJ there, carried off this [...]

Renewed Questions of Leadership

18 May, 2011

Deep into Tuesday night, a prominent member of Washington’s hockey media, referencing the Boston Bruins’ effort in game 2 of the Eastern conference finals, emailed me this reflection: “This is what a desperate team is supposed to look like down 0-1 in a series not wanting to go down 0-2 before hitting the road.” Indeed.

22 October, 2010

“Questions begin to mount as Caps lose” Ed Frankovic exclaims in his WNST headline this morning. He’s so right. Again.

OFB TV: Bs Best the Caps as Neuvirth Falls Ill

20 October, 2010

Milan Lucic-type players don’t grow on trees, of course, but wouldn’t it be nice to have a power forward who on a nightly basis was a credible threat to record a Gordie Howe hat trick? Lucic was Tuesday night’s well-deserved first star. He’s Old Time Hockey in the very best sense. The Bruins, by virtue [...]

Lessons in Refined Roadtripping

1 October, 2010

I propose the formation of a Hall of Fame for those puckheads who distinguish themselves with exceptional execution in the fine art of hockey roadtripping. My friends Mike and Marleen of Portland, Maine, I submit, would be first ballot nominees. Narration of their feat of Wednesday for the Capitals-Bruins rematch in Boston is not meant [...]

After Last Night, King Is Out to Hunt More Bruins

29 September, 2010

Capitals head coach Bruce Boudreau described D.J. King’s presence in Tuesday’s preseason game like having “a big brother out there.” But when a hit from the Bruins’ Gregory Campbell to Alex Ovechkin brought both to a near-fight in the third, King was stuck watching helplessly from the bench, all while Ovechkin got two minutes for slashing and Campbell received two minutes for boarding.
