Aaron Rome still thinks he’s the victim
There’s sticking to your story, and then there’s Aaron Rome, refusing to believe he did anything wrong in his late, vicious hit on Nathan Horton in the first period of Game 3. From Sunday: “I’ve been on the tough end of hits like that. If I could go back I’d wish he didn’t get hurt [...]
TweetNHL shuts down Vancouver’s plan to sell parade rights
Well, years of planning parades only to be knocked out by the Chicago Blackhawks don’t seem to be stopping the Vancouver Canucks. Vancouver, who can win the Stanley Cup tonight with a win in Game 6 against the Bruins, apparently tried to sell the broadcast rights to their victory parade. That plan was quickly rejected [...]
TweetBruins looking to keep foot on the throat
The Bruins are ready to take the ice in Vancouver for Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals tonight (8 p.m. / TV: NBC, CBC / Radio: 98.5 FM), and they’re looking to keep the major momentum swing in their favor in hostile territory. Or, perhaps, they can create a hostile environment for their new [...]
TweetThomas goes at it with Burrows
BOSTON — Before we go into a whole breakdown of the Bruins’ 4-0 thumping of the Vancouver Canucks in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals, I just want to highlight one moment. First, the Vancouver Canucks had been crashing the net and taking liberties with Tim Thomas in the crease. Winger Alex Burrows knocked [...]
TweetThomas roaming too far?
BOSTON — The Bruins will host the Canucks in Game 4 of the Stanley Cup Finals tonight (8 p.m. / TV: Vs., CBC / Radio: 98.5 FM), and as reported, they’ll do so without Nathan Horton, out for the series with a serious concussion suffered at the hands of Vancouver defenseman Aaron Rome Monday night. [...]
TweetMoving on without Nathan Horton
With the news of Aaron Rome’s suspension — four games, ending his Stanley Cup finals experience — the Bruins can carry on with a sense of closure, but nothing resembling justice. No team in their right mind would trade Nathan Horton for Aaron Rome, so the Bruins are left without a top-line sniper, while the [...]
TweetHorton out for the series
Tony Massarotti told Toucher and Rich on 98.5 FM that Nathan Horton has no broken bones or neurological damage, but he has a severe concussion and will not play for the rest of the series. Horton was leveled in the first period at the blue line by Vancouver’s Aaron Rome. Rome was given a 5 [...]
TweetJulien points finger back at Vancouver, kind of
BOSTON — Before tonight’s Game 3 matchup with the Vancouver Canucks (8 p.m. / TV: Vs., CBC / Radio: 98.5 FM), Bruins head coach Claude Julien answered questions about Maxim Lapierre’s finger-waving incident from Game 2 in his own slightly bemused style: “I can’t really talk about their team. I’m going to talk about mine [...]
TweetPointing fingers in the wake of another Bruins loss
Of course it was Alex Burrows. Of course it’s Burrows, not suspended after biting Patrice Bergeron‘s finger in a scrap, who’s there to score two goals, including a game-winner in overtime, lifting the Canucks to a 3-2 win and a 2-0 series lead, deflating the Bruins in their first Stanley Cup final in 21 years. [...]
TweetBruins looking for a split in Game 2
After getting blanked on 36 shots in Game 1 Wednesday night, Supertramp and Bruno Mars have cleared out of Vancouver, and the Bruins are ready to challenge the Canucks in Game 2 tonight (8 p.m. / TV: NBC, CBC / Radio: 98.5 FM). On the Bruins front, injuries and lineup changes seem to be nil, [...]
