Bruins and Leafs win, Lucic out with high ankle sprain
I'll be honest. Wednesday night I was exhausted and didn't stay awake past Milan Lucic twisting his knee awkwardly after getting his skate stuck in a rut. I'd been watching the Leafs half assed, but I wasn't paying a lot of attention. When I went to watch it later on the Tivo, I discovered I'd ...

King Schenn (for a day)
Big ups and congrats to Brayden (the younger) Schenn. Schenn the elder & Schenn the younger BS signed a one-day amateur tryout agreement with the Kings, to fill in for injured the Loktionov (dislocated shoulder), who had been called up from Manchester to replace the injured Stoll. B ...

The greatest things are on Flickr
Oh Milan Lucic. How awesomely geeky are you? Thanks to Artimus Duck on flickr for this one: This could have only been greater if Luke Schenn were in between Darth Vader and Chewie. Marc Savard being interviewed by Cabbie in a bedazzled Ed Hardy shirt. This is pure gold, people. This photo ...

Most amazing thing I've ever seen
Many years ago, I used to watch Dainius Zubrus try to perfect deflecting the puck into the goal with his ass. Then I actually saw him use it in a game, and I was blown away. Last night I saw something that beats that, hands down. Milan Lucic deflected the GWG into the net with his crotch. Now ...

Savvy Returns! I'm still adjusting to the Leafs' win...
Per Boston.com, not only will Marc Savard be making his triumphant return to the lineup tonight against the Blues, but Byron Bitz will also be making the shift to the top line, playing with Savvy and Milan Lucic. God this sounds so familiar... where have I heard this before? Seriously. This ...

More B's pics / Leafs-talk
I'm going to start with the Leafs talk. B's fans, you can skip down. So there's a REALLY well-written and well-though-out Dave Schultz column in today's Globe and Mail, and I want all the Leafs fans who found their way here to go read it. I'll wait. Read it? Awesome. The points he makes that I ...

GOAL BY LUCIC!
In a beautiful win by the Bruins over the (division) 1st place Sabres, Milan Lucic [ME-lahn LOO-cheech. Idiots. I'm going to make a bingo card out of all the ways people say his last name wrong. All time favourite is still "Luke-itch."] scored such a pretty, pretty goal. Might be my favourite ...

Bruins @ Thrashers - picture time!
Before we get into the photos, I want to congratulate the Thrashers on finally being an AWESOME team. That was an intensely great game of hockey last night. It might not have seemed it because the crowd just wasn't there, but props to the fans who did show up. That might go down as one of my ...

Believe in Schenn
Ron Wilson does not: But I do. And if you do, spread this around. Or make a new one. Believe in Schenn. Someone has to.

Wides hits 100 and other Bs @ ATL observations!
Congratulations, Dennis Wideman! 100 NHL points. And way to pick up your O. Mikey Ryder, my fantasy team thanks you. Milan Lucic looks awesome out there. There's been a few missteps, but on the whole, looking good. Coach, thanks for taking my suggestion to put Wides back with Ference. Um. BOTH ...

PTHI: Lucic en-route to ATL, Savard sitting, Bruins trade update
Title says it all, really. Milan Lucic will be in the ATL for tonight's game, hopefully playing. Game time decision yet again, so change your bets accordingly, ladies and gentlemen. Savard will not be playing tonight, again, adjust your bets. Holla to my Thrashers friends I quickly notified ...

Supporting Schenn | Tonight is what Tivo is for
There's a super nice (SHOCKINGLY) article on Luke Schenn in this morning's Star. Someone in Toronto make a sign and take it to the ACC tonight for warmups, and hold it right behind Ron Wilson's head. It should say "YOU NEVER BENCHED WITTER!" Also potentially appropriate, "CAN'T FIRE WILSON CAUSE ...

Pardon the Hysteria (PTH)
Pardon the hysteria, but MARC SAVARD IS BACK ON THE ICE TODAY!!!!! From Bish's blog 10:56 a.m. I've been watching Marc Savard skate for several minutes and to my untrained eye the Bruins playmaker looks to have no mobility restrictions. He has been working with pucks, skating hard and does not ...

Vegas odds and Dennis Wideman
I read an interesting article today on the Star, wherein the author pointed out that the current Vegas odds of the Leafs making it to the Playoffs were 1/125 (1.7%). I find a lot lot lot wrong with those odds, because I do a lot of sports betting (WITH FAKE MONEY PEOPLE, I AM UNEMPLOYED) and ...

Bruins Game Day Posters
So I found this guy on eBay who's selling AWESOME Bruins game-day photos. I think you should go check him out, because these are the hockey world version of the old Fillmore West Janis Joplin posters. Yeah that was a stretch, but I made it work! Here's an example to whet your desires: Click ...

Saturday Night sucked.
One minor complaint I have about loving the Bruins and Luke Schenn is that, the B's and Leafs somehow managed to get nearly identical schedules for the duration of the season. How am I supposed to be a good cougar and watch Schenny play when the Bruins are playing at the same time?! Thank god ...
