Embarrassed by the racist bullshit. Especially with Malcolm tearing it up in Providence. And Subban's parents were in the house. A few idiots in every crowd and fan base. The same kind of morons boo the US anthem here. Best thing to do is not give them the publicity they crave. Any real Bruins fan ...

The Habs stars were stars with PK and Price. Goddamn, Subban's shot is a thing of beauty. Bourque came out of woodwork. I feel good about the B's scoring chances but who knows with the voodoo stuff surrounding these teams. Embarrassed by the racist bullshit. Malcolm must feel great about the lunatic...

Bruins were 1-3 vs Detroit this year. Time to break out the Jack.

@TSNBobMcKenzie: NHL East playoffs: BOS-DET; TB-MTL (home ice TBD); PIT-CBJ; NYR-PHI. Winners of BOS-DET/TB-MTL meet in 2nd rd. Winners of PIT-CBJ/NYR-PHI.

A few playoff match ups are close to set now: San Jose vs Los Angeles (94%) Colorado vs Chicago (99%) New York Rangers vs Philadelphia (86%) Tampa Bay vs Montreal (98%) In bold, who I think would win. Tampa to knock out the final Canadian team! I'd bet Montreal in that series. Damn them. Columbus, ...

Bruins are turning into the Patriots. Let's not go for it, let's just add depth and hope we get to the finals and maybe we'll win. So what if there is only a small window of opportunity for Rask and Chara (Brady), we just want to be ONE of the top teams every year. Nice attitude. Worked well for th...

Vanek to the Habs is depressing. He's kills it against the Bruins. I wanted no part of Montreal before the trade.

First round as of today with 20 or so games to play...

Pittsburgh vs Detroit
Boston vs Toronto
Montreal vs NY Rangers
Tampa Bay vs Philadelphia

Anaheim vs Dallas
St Louis vs Minnesota
Chicago vs Los Angeles
San Jose vs Colorado

A fascinating read on how the US Olympic team was selected: http://espn.go.com/olympics/hockey/story/_/id/10195703/how-us-hockey-team-bound-sochi-olympics-was-named Some good zingers from Brian Burke here. Burke's awesome. I've run into him many times around the Garden and he's just a great guy. Ni...

Iginla has been awesome. All effort, all the time. And there's no way he's going into the Nathan Horton 30 game coast. It didn't take long for him to endear himself to the locals after the Shittsburgh debacle.

The change couldn't have happened soon enough in Buffalo. Nolan and Lafontaine are odd choices, but it's a start. First John Travolta is hanging around the locker room and now these... http://boston.barstoolsports.com/files/2013/11/Screen-Shot-2013-11-13-at-1.23.19-PM.png http://boston.barstoolsport...

Buffalo is a joke from all angles. Time to clean house starting with Rolston. They should bring in Laviolette today. San Jose at 17/1 and Colorado at 20/1 are looking like the odds winners at this point in the season. I went to the Colorado/Boston game and they are a bunch of fast skaters. I missed ...

I poked around NHL and ESPN, read some stories, got some power rankings and break downs on how the Rangers preseason was ugly then came out of the gate with a long road trip to start the season. I get the feeling Lundqvist has lost a bit, felt that way during last years playoffs. Also read Henrik i...

You've wasted your money.

Canucks are on the down, and the Leafs are someway off.

All probably true, but I usually bet the playoff teams with the longest odds.

I'm in on Toronto at 20/1. We're all leafs.

Vancouver at 16/1 is a good chance.

It looks like Donald Fehr turned down MLBA to stay with the NHLPA. He's going after fighting in the game: Fighting in the NHL has always been the subject of criticism within some circles, but it has nevertheless remained a part of the game. NHLPA executive director Donald Fehr might want to change t...

Bergeron done, 8yrs/52mil. A legend. They should hang his number in the rafters to kick off the season. Probably the most popular athlete in Boston. Maybe Brady or Ortiz might come close in a poll. Chiarelli close to a well deserved extension. 6.5 mil, for a 60-point/season player? Chiarelli should...

Deal finalized. Bruins get : Loui Eriksson Joe Morrow Reilly Smith Matt Fraser Stars get : Tyler Seguin,Rich Peverly,Ryan Button I like Eriksson's game,but I think the Bruins are going to miss Peverly's intangibles and grit. Peverley was huge in the 2011 Cup run but was nonexistent in this past sea...

Not sure who nixed it.

Chia should have agreed and then backed out just to fuck with Feaster.

This is cool. The Blackhawks placed a full page ad in a Boston newspaper, thanking them for their hospitality during the finals. http://www.boston.com/news/source/paper.jpg Classy move. 2014 Odds.

Tuukka has already said that the starting point for his next contract is 6yrs/39mil. Something along those lines should be announced soon. They will more than likely extend Bergeron this offseason to an 8 year deal. That should run in the $50-$60 million range. Unless he takes a discount, which wou...

The ice at TD Garden is supposedly in awful condition with the building empty. Get ready for the bouncing puck.

Great series. These ratings should increase over the last few games. We might have the most watched finals game coming up: NBCSportsPR‏@NBCSportsPR4m Last night’s Chi-Bos OT received 4.6 HH rating, +109% from Gm 2 of last year's Stanley Cup Final (LA-NY, 2.2, was second NBC gm of series) NBCSportsPR...
