Birthday Boy: Patrice Bergeron

Happy 28th Birthday to the one…the only…the Boston legend himself, Patrice Bergeron. Even if you don’t like the Bruins , you love Patrice. Even Pants loves Patrice. I mean, just look at him. The way he plays. The way he carries himself. His face. There is a reason I call him ‘Perfect Patrice’.  

Summer Nights

Oh for heaven’s sake.  Come home from tropical vacation, depressed about going back to work?  Sidney Crosby to the rescue. [Sorry y’all, copyrighted photos from this post were removed by request.  You’ll have the survive on screencaps from the CTV interview linked below.] Sid and Brand Marchand took part in the Phoenix Night of Champions […]

Fireworks of a Different Kind

Yesterday was America’s birthday.  There were barbecues, patriotic music, fireworks, waving flags…and one very big trade. Yesterday, the Bruins decided to have their own pyrotechnic display when they traded former 1st round draft pick Tyler Seguin, Rich Peverley, and prospect Ryan Button to the Dallas Stars for Loui Eriksson and three prospects – Joe Morrow, […]

Logan Marshall-Green as Derek Sanderson Wyatt Russell as Bobby Orr The film will be based on the book “Crossing the Line”, which details the self-destructive, downward spiral of […]

Only When We Wake Up…

Did that really just happen?  I keep waiting to wake up and find that it was all just some horrible nightmare.  I’m Leo Dicaprio, spinning that totem, waiting for it to keep spinning to let me know that this is some cruel inception. But unfortunately it is not. Game 6 really did happen. The Bruins […]

Blackhawks Win the Cup

So ends the 2013 season.  One lockout.  Zero Winter Classics, 24/7 episodes, All-Star Games or NHL Awards ceremonies.  One Stanley Cup. credit: sportsmockery I’m sure Chuck will do a post about the Bruins when she’s ready.  For now we send her and our other Bruins fan friends love.  We’ve all had teams lose before, but […]

Late Night Alumni

Did I say yesterday that Game 4 would go to overtime?  I was really proud of my predicition until I remembered almost every Blackhawks playoff game goes to overtime.  And lately, Brent Seabrook’s been ending them.   Look at Seabs’ hair post-game.  Was there a full moon last night?  He’s about to chew through the […]

Every Movie Needs a Montage

I love me a good montage and this one especially awesome. Firstly because it all about the Bruins (natch). And secondly because they use Russell Crowe to narrate. I love me some Russell Crowe.  Just ask Pants. His voice + the Bruins…I’m having ALL the feels. created by ‘trigger687’

Raiders of the Stanley Cup

Everyone knows that any nerd movie worth watching involves some sort of an epic quest – a quest for something so important, powerful, that it could forever change the course of human history. Lord of the Rings.  Star Wars.  The Goonies. Tonight at 8pm in the Madhouse on Madison, another quest will begin. Warriors will […]

Chuck’s Friday Night

Let me preface this by saying that I’m not typically a girl that goes to bars alone. Mainly, because it makes me feel more acutely single than I already do and also because I try not to drink alone. Last Friday, I set aside my rule and ventured out to my local in the pouring […]

Foxy Friday: Gregory Campbell – The Sequel

Normally we don’t tend to feature the same player twice in our Foxy Friday feature, but after what Gregory Campbell did on Wednesday night, how could we not? from bosstownsports.tumblr.com In case you’ve been living under a rock since Wednesday, just take a moment to review what transpired to bring about this Foxy Friday Sequel. […]

A Flair for the Dramatic

Patrice Bergeron certainly has a flair for the dramatic, doesn’t he? First, his game tying and then game winning OT goal verses Toronto in Round 1 and now this.   While credit goes to Bergeron for scoring the goal, mad props go to Jaromir Jagr for making it all possible.  His play on Evgeni Malkin […]

Well, shit.

Battle of the Blog: Game Three For me, last night was: Oh sorry, wrong photo. Double OT loss.  Hell of a game to put the Penguins down 3-0 in the series. You saw it though, right?  The moment?  Crosby with no helmet, sweaty curls and bangs whipping, busted jaw set in sheer determination, battling around […]

Keep On Movin’

Battle of the Blog: Game Two The Penguins had a game last night.  Sort of. I won’t talk about what went wrong because: a) I would be here all day. (The defense!) b) Everyone has already said it. (The passing!) c) I refuse to put more bad mojo into the universe about the Penguins right now. […]

You Oughta Know

Battle of the Blog: Game One Since Chuck and I are not talking, I have no idea if she’s planning to write this same post today.  You guys can tell me later. So, Saturday night was exciting, yes?  Too exciting.  Run-and-gun hockey is fun to watch only if: the puck goes in the net. it’s […]

BeardWatch2013: We’re Holding Out for a Hero

“We need a hero. We’re holding out for a hero to the end of the night.  He’s gotta have a beard and he’s gotta have fuzz. And he’s gotta be fresh from the ice.” ~ Chuck & Pants It’s Conference Final time, and every hockey fan knows it’s often a new guy, a third-liner or […]

Bigger, Better, Faster, MORE.

So this is it: If your team won a Stanley Cup in the last four years, remain in your seat to ride the roller coaster again.  If not, you probably hate this.  It’s like playing original Monopoly, before they swapped the iron for a cat, and thinking, “Oh great, the old shoe won again.”  (Seriously, […]

There Will Be Blood… and Milkshakes

If last night’s Bruins/Rangers game was a movie, it would be called “There Will Be Blood”. Lumber was a-flying and the team trainers were going through cotton gauze like Taylor Swift goes through boyfriends. Patrice Bergeron, Zdeno Chara, and Carl Hagelin were just some of the players that needed zippers to close up gashes. Tyler […]

Get It Together

An open letter to the Boston Bruins….   Hey guys – Chuck here.  I know you have a Game 7 tonight so I just wanted to give you a few words of encouragement. Don’t F**K it up. Seriously. You had this  series.  You HAD it. You were up 3-1 in the series.  The Maple Leafs […]

Foxy Friday: David Krejci

Boston Bruins center David Krejci is a Clark Kent. During the regular season, he is just this mild-mannered guy, playing good hockey.  He’s not particularly flashy.   In fact, some times you don’t even realize he is there. Then playoffs come around. And he becomes this. In just four games this post season, Krejci has […]
