Red Sox / Red Sucks?

The Red Sox are not shining like we are used to seeing this season. With a record of 12 wins and 18 losses, they sit in last place in the American League East division. This is not what we are used to seeing and they need to turn around and represent Boston like they have the last 100+ years. Their next series starts tonight against Cleveland and we need nothing less than a W on the boards.

Celtics Vs. Hawks

“A loss in Game 5 to the Atlanta Hawks (2-3) has left the Boston Celtics (3-2) with a second chance to close out their first-round series. This time that opportunity will arrive in Boston.” Anyone who watched the game on Tuesday night was out of their seats as Rondo tried to rally back the troops and clinch the series. However it proved to much for the Celtics as Josh Smith drained a few key shots to close the game.

Tonight however we are playing in our house and I want to clarify that Rondo will have a triple double and the Hawks will be sent back to Atlanta. Last time we played in Boston against the Hawks we won by 22 and tonight I feel as If the game will be close and we will pull away by 3-7 points. Wear your jersey proud and GO GREEN!

3 Bruins Still Playing

So over the past few weeks I have depressing nights since the Bruins lost and couldn’t find it in me to write about the game 7 loss to Washington. Now that my wounds have healed I think I can finish off my last Boston Bruins blog on the 2011-2012 seasons. So as everyone can imagine they lost in the first round to the number 7 seed the Washington Capitals but enough about that game. This blog we are going to talk about the 3 stars of the Bruins that will be competing for their country in the coming world hockey cup tournament. None of the players will be competing for team USA but as you can imagine our captain and 6foot 9 defensemen Zdeno Chara will represent his hometown of Slovakia. Chara with the fastest slap shot in the NHL will add power to his team and came out victorious in the first round matchup. The second big star from the bruins playing overseas in the world cup is the 6 foot David Krejci who will represent the Czech Republic. His team who also competed Monday afternoon came out victorious which show us that as long as you have a bruin on the ice, you are bound to win. The final player selected by his home country is our coming goal keeper Anton Khudobin which will represent Kazakhstan. His team has yet to play but will hopefully come out on top in the first round. We can keep cheering for them so let’s go Bruins!

Bruins Teaser

So I'm saving the big blog for after this series is over. Hear is a teaser of my experience at Game 2 with my girlfriend. Enjoy the photos. We were in section 117 Row 2.

Beard-A-Thon

With the playoff spot clinched for the Bruins, they have decided to leave a few of their key player’s home while traveling for game 81 against the Senators.  Zdeno Chara, Patrice Bergeron, and Tim Thomas have been told to stay home and rest up before the playoffs. Along with them, Johnny Boychuk who is injured will stay behind with the veterans.

The Bruins finished the season as of today with a record of 47-29-4. They logged 98 points and allowed 2.44 goals a game while scoring 3.18 goals per game. With numbers being posted like that there is no doubt in my mind that lord Stanley will stay in Boston for another year.

Let’s keep cheering on the black and yellow and in the meantime help charity by participating in the annual beard-a-thon. All proceeds raised help the Boston Bruins Foundation.

Please Pledge my brother! 100% goes to charity! and read on how you can help out!

Red Sox are BACK

With Baseball season underway it’s time for the Red Sox to play ball. In the season opener, the Boston Red Sox took on the Detroit Tigers as Boston’s pitcher Jon Lester squared off on the mound against Detroit’s Justin Verlander. Although baseball is not this bloggers favorite sport, it is America pastime sport of choice so it’s only right that I incorporate some statistics about the game.

The red sox struggled at the plate only posting 5 hits for the entire game compared to Detroit’s 10. Not only did they post such low hitting numbers, but superstars like Ellsbury and Youkilis went 0-4 and neglected to help their team offensively. As you can imagine the game went very slow and the first real action took place in the 7^th inning when Detroit scored the first run of the game off of a double.

Following the 7^th inning, the Red Sox did not score in the 8^th however once again Detroit struck back scoring one more run in the bottom of the 8^th to take the lead 2-0. They scored off a sacrifice fly to center field.

Going into the 9^th it appeared that all was lost for the Red Sox. Then David Ortiz had a sacrifice fly that helped Pedroia score bringing the score to 2-1. Shortly after that, Ryan Sweeney hit a deep triple that drove in the tying run before the top of the inning was over. With this game being in Detroit, they had a chance to seal it in the bottom of the 9^th and that’s exactly what they did via a walk off hit to left field.

Now the Red Sox are 0-1 on the season as they move forward. Do they have what it takes this year?

Bruins looking to keep the streak alive!

On Tuesday afternoon the Bruins took on the Toronto Maple Leafs and pulled away with a 5-4 victory that the club needed more than ever this season. That win helped boost their efforts and hopefully placed them on a road to success.

The first period ended with the score tie 1-1. Caron who was newly acquired to the Bruins scored the only goal of the period and has proven to be a great addition to the team and New England sports. Surprisingly, the Bruins also posted no penalty minutes during the 1st.

The second period however was the complete opposite. The teams combined for 6 total goals and 10 penalties. The Bruins had 4 of these goals by Seguin, Kelly, Caron, and Seguin again. This helped propel the Bruins to a promising lead of 5-3 at the break.

However Toronto didn't let up and in the 3rd period cut the lead to 1 just half way threw. Thomas was in net and refused to let the game get tied, he posted 25 saves and took home the victory as the team boarded their plane and headed to play Buffalo.

The game against Buffalo took place on Thursday 3-8-12 and ended with another victory for the Bruins 3-1. The first period was relatively quite and ended with Buffalo leading 1-0. In the second period, Campbell matched that goal and tied the score 1-1.

The 3rd period was all about the Bruins as both Krejci and Boychuk posted a goal and the lead 3-1. Thomas did not let anything in after the first and posted 19 saves on 20 shots.

Today being Saturday afternoon, the Bruins take on the Capitals with the hopes of going on a 3 game win streak.

Rondo vs. Lin

With the game going into OVERTIME on Sunday afternoon, the Celtics triumph in a 115-111 victory over the NY Knicks. The Celtics showed their true potential tonight as Rondo faced off against Jeremy Lin.

Rondo posted yet another triple double and registered 17 rebounds, 20 assists, and 18 points. He did all this while containing Lin to just 4 rebounds, 5 assists, and 14 points. Lin also posted 6 Turnovers.

Pierce posted a game high of 34 points and hit clutch shots down in crunch time. Bass and Garnett each chipped in 18 points to help out the Celtics and Ray Allen added 12. All 5 starters went into double digits.

Anthony scored 25 for the Knicks and Amare posted a double double with 16 points and 13 rebounds.

This game had 5 ties and 7 lead changes that occurred down to the final seconds. It also helped give Boston some self-esteem as they move into the later part of the season trying to clinch a playoff spot.

Bruins fall yet again in NY

Sunday afternoon posed another challenge for the Bruins who couldn’t hold on to the NY Rangers and fell 4-3 in regulation.

The first period started off slow however the Rangers Fedotenko and Hagelin each scored within 1:10 of one another to take an early 2-0 lead. Later in the period, Pouliot cut that lead in half by scoring off a slap shot. The game went to intermission 2-1.

Not much occurred during the second period with the exception of the breakaway goal by Caron who tied the game 2-2 going into the 3^rd.

The 3^rd period was back and worth. The rangers took the lead 3-2 off a goal by Gaborik. However it was matched 7 minutes later by Krejci who tied the game at 3-3. The bruins couldn’t hold on and Stepan scored the game winning goal to boost the Rangers ahead 4-3.

The Bruins out shot NY 33-17 and just had a difficult time hitting the back of the net. Thomas only registered 13 saves and had a poor save % of .765. That kind of goal keeping needs to stop as the season moves forward.

Bruins fall short to Islanders

On Saturday afternoon, the Bruins fell short to the Islanders with a final score of 3-2.

In the first period, Milan Lucic scored his 22nd goal of the season but was matched by an Islander goal from, Josh Bailey. The period ended with the game tied 1-1.

The 2nd period was all about the Islanders and the only goal scored was by Matt Moulson to give the Islanders the lead 2-1 with 20minutes to play.

It looked good in the 3rd as Tyler Seguin also scored his 22nd goal of the season and tie the game up 2-2. However the lead didn't hold and John Tavares Tipped in a missed shot to score the game winning goal.

Boston lead in shots with 34 compared to the Islanders 25. Both Thomas and Rask played in net for Boston and each posted a little north of 29 minutes.

The Islanders pulled away the Win while having less shots on net and more penalty minutes, these things need to be avoided if the Bruins want to have a strong run into the post season and re-claim themselves as Stanley Cup Champions.

Celtics defeat Nets

The Boston Celtics defeated the New Jersey Nets tonight!

The final score was 107-94.

Paul Pierce led the Celtics with 27 points and 8 assists.

Kevin Garnett posted a double double with 20 points and 10 rebounds.

Rondo also posted a double double with 14 points and 13 assists.

Pietrus helped by adding 11 and Wilcox added 14.

Ray Allen and Jermaine O'Neil both sat out Friday night!

With the win, the Celtics moved to 18-17 and are on a 3 game winning streak. They currently sit in 2nd place for their division and are 3 games behind the Philadelphia 76ers.

Bruins defeat Devils in OT



Bruins escaped tonight's game with a W over the New Jersey Devils. They started off strong in the first period taking a commanding lead as Krejci scored 1 minute into the game. Seguin also scored in the first period to go into the locker room up 2-0.

However the lead would not stick. In the second period it appeared that ll their momentum was lost and they let up 3 goals and went back to the board down 3-2 with 20minutes left to play.

Coming into the 3rd, Krejci prevailed again scoring 5 minutes into the period. This was the last goal of regulation and sent the game into Overtime where the B's prevailed by Krejci scoring his 3rd goal of the game giving him a hat trick and the Bruins a much needed Win.

Thomas had 28 saves tonight and the team now sits in 6th place overall in the league.

Home town HERO to the Patriots

With the scheduled NFL draft approaching, the New England Patriots have the 27th overall pick and the 31st! Local friend and fellow student at Nashua High School played for the University of Connecticut for his college days. Kendall Reyes has now opted to enter the NFL draft and is appearing more and more on his home teams board. Kendall a 2007 graduate of NHSN is predicted to be drafted 31st overall by the Patriots according to Mel Kipers predictions. The young Defensive tackle and lineman would add explosiveness to our Defense and create a local buzz in the southern NH region. Will this happen? i guess we will have to just wait and see.

Rondo gets a Triple Double

Yesterday was the second night of yet another back-to-back, Rajon Rondo and Kevin Garnett led the C's to a 102-96 win over the Bucks Wednesday night at TD Garden. Rondo finished with a triple-double of 15 points, 11 rebounds and 10 assists. KG led the C's with 25 points and added 10 rebounds.
Brandon Bass had 16 points and seven rebounds in his second straight start and Chris Wilcox came off of the bench to grab a game-high 13 rebounds.

Aside from all the moves Rondo displayed during the game, he has been the center of attention for the Celtics as the trade deadline approaches. Arguably one of the best Point Guards in the NBA, the Celtics do NOT want to build a franchisearound him and claim that his attitude with Doc Rivers in un tolerable and need to remove him from their locker room. This is stirring up alot of buzz in the NBA as teams beging making offers for the All star player. Currently the Celtics are interested ina possible deal with Golden State that would acquire the injures Curry.
