No Habs No: Playoff Edition (or, How I learned to stop worrying and love the Bruins)
Going into the playoffs, I couldn't figure out what I should do for any players who'd score a game-winning goal against the Montréal Canadiens in the 2009 NHL playoffs. For the regular season, I sent one dollar in local currency to the player, along with a hand-written fan letter, but that...
A Startling Resemblance: Are the 2008-09 Canadiens just the 2007-08 Senators?
On Wednesday, April 22, 2009, the Montréal Canadiens lost the fourth game of the Eastern Conference first-versus-eighth quarter-final against the Boston Bruins, being swept out of the playoffs by the very team that they eliminated in the first round of the playoffs the previous season. On...
Au Revoir!
Somewhere in Montreal the French Canadian version of Bob Lobel is screaming "Why can't we get players like that?". Montreal Canadien cast-off Michael Ryder had a 3 point night (2 goals & an assist) to help the B's eliminate his former team from the playoffs. The 4-1 win gave the Bruins the...
B's look to finish off Habs in 4
The Bruins will look to sweep a playoff series tonight for the first time since 1992 when they finished off the Montreal Canadiens in 4 games in the Adams Division Finals. The B's will have human wrecking ball Milan Lucic back in the lineup after serving a one game suspension for his hit to the...
NHL Playoff Recap from the Ranger Reporter
We're having a little technical difficulties this morning, so I am posting this for Ranger Reporter..... Okay so I know that you all come down to Blueshirt Banter to read about Ranger news, but we are technically an NHL blog so were going to do some playoff updates. The Rangers...
A sign the Habs are throwing in the towel?
The day before the Montreal Canadiens face elimination in Game 4 of their opening round playoff series with the Bruins, coach Bob Gainey decided to make today's practice optional. The Habs played hard for most of last night's game and some players probably legitimately needed a breather today, but...
The Games I Watched - April 20
I didn't get to see much of our adopted Eastern Conference team but from what I've read it looks pretty much like what I expected. Once the Capitals were able to solve Lundqvist their domination of the series continued. The best part of the game was obviously Sean Avery's clown-like attempts to...
Bruins take commanding 3 game lead over Habs
The Bruins now have a commanding 3-0 series lead after beating the Montreal Canadiens 4-2 on the road. The Bruins will look to complete the series sweep in Game 4 on Wednesday night. The Canadiens seemed to have an extra jump in their step out of the gate as they tried to set the tone early in the...
B's head across the border to enemy territory for Game 3
The Bruins will cap off one of the greatest days of the year for Boston sports when they take on the Canadiens in Game 3 tonight at the Bell Centre in Montreal. Deranged individuals who think that running 26.2 miles is fun started off the day with a leisurely stroll through the streets of Boston,...
Expect reinforcements from Providence
With the injury to Matt Hunwick (spleen) and the suspension of Milan Lucic, the Bruins only spare part is defenseman Andrew Ference, who is also recovering from an undisclosed injury. The Bruins will likely call up one or two players from Providence tomorrow. The Baby B's had a Calder Cup playoff...
