BOSTON — After receiving a three-game suspension for hitting Ryan McDonagh from behind in their 3-2 overtime loss to the New York Rangers a couple of weeks ago, Boston Bruins defenseman Andrew Ference returns to the lineup for Thursday’s contest against the Carolina Hurricanes at the TD Garden.

Ference, who earned his first suspension in nearly 700 career NHL regular season games, will play for the first time in two weeks and will likely battle through some rust in his first game since Jan. 21 (before the All-Star break) — a span of 10 days.

After 40: Bruins-3 Maple Leafs-1

Posted on: October 20th, 2011 by Anthony No Comments

The Bruins and Maple Leafs end the second period the way they started it with the Bruins holding a 3-1 lead. The Bruins started to sit back a bit and got sloppy towards the end of the period. The B’s need to keep in mind that the Leafs erased a two-goal third period deficit last night against the Jets in their 4-3 shootout win. Heres a recap of what went down in the second peirod.

Steckel takes down Daniel Pallie and the Bruins go back on the power play where they failed to score. Back to the normal power play for the B’s.

The Leafs go on the power play just seconds after killing of the Bruins power play when Chara gets nailed for a very questionable tripping call. The power play didn’t last long after Mikhail Grabovski gets sent to the box for holding Patrice Bergeron’s stick. The 4-4 was short lived thanks to a Johnny Boychuk hook.

After 20: Bruins-3 Maple Leafs-1

Posted on: October 20th, 2011 by Anthony No Comments

After Toronto took an early 1-0, the Bruins scored three unanswered goals taking a 3-1 lead into the first intermission. The Bruins went 2-2 on the power play, yes folks you are reading this correct 2-2, 100%, any other ways to describe scoring on each other power play. David Krejci looks like he hasn’t skipped a beat as No. 46 has looked very well in his first action since a core injury sidelined him for the previous three games. Heres some key points from the first 20

The Bruins come out of the gate with some high energy, and Shawn Thornton kept it going with a spirted fight with Colton Orr.

David Steckel beats Tim Thomas glove side on a shot Thomas probably should had, giving the Leafs the 1-0 lead.

The Bruins get the first man advantage of the night after  Matt Frattin gets nailed with an interference penalty.  Nathan Horton tied things at one after putting home a loose puck after a Zdeno Chara bullet from the point. The third Bruins power play goal of the season.

Recchi closes book on Hall-Of-Fame career

Posted on: October 7th, 2011 by Anthony No Comments

There’s no better way to end an amazing career then the way Mark Recchi ended his. The future first ballot Hall-Of-Famer called it quits after winning his third Stanley Cup last season. Recchi was suited up on the ice as the Bruins passed Lord Stanley’s Cup around minutes before raising their championship banner to the TD Garden rafters, and it was a great feeling seeing No. 28 skating around one last time.

Last night’s ceremony was the end of the final chapter of Recchi’s Hall-Of-Fame career; it was certainly an emotional night for him.
