Last year he called the Winter Classic the "World Classic" when the NHL announced that the outdoor hockey game between the Bruins and the Flyers would take place at Fenway Park. Well, just as you thought it was safe to say that he wouldn't comment on the Beantown sports scene, Boston Mayor Thomas Menino (aka Mayor Mumbles) proved once again that preparing for a speech is "overrated". The scene

We all know that the Montreal Canadiens were a complete mess during their Centennial Season in 2008-09. Actually if you think about it, the Habs have been celebrating their 100th season since 1993, when Patrick Roy and company led the to their last Stanley Cup victory. I'm sure we'll get into the "Curse of Patrick Roy" but we should with this segment now. First a word from our "sponsor"... The

We all know -- at least in the state of Massachusetts -- that Patriots Day is a tradition every third Monday in April. We also know that school children get that day off -- at the K-12 level the whole week -- while the Red Sox always have a game in the late morning and of course, who can forget about the annual Boston Marathon. Well, the last few years the Bruins have played on Patriots Day as

Back by popular demand, the 2010 Rosie Awards will showcase the best of the hockey world for the third straight year. Full details will come in a separate preview of the show, but I thought I'd get started with a simple question: What do you want to see in this year's Rosie's? Should I give another lifetime achievement award like I did with Al Strachan last year? Should that anonymous

Before I go on and share my thoughts on Andy Sutton's postgame comments from Game 2 of the Penguins-Senators series, let's review what took place near the end of the first period. I don't know how the  refs missed this call, but there is no place for this type of goonery in hockey, as seen in the Matt Cooke cheap shot on Marc Savard -- in the same building -- nearly a month ago. Here's another

Well, the 2010 Stanley Cup Playoffs are about four and a half hours away from puck drop as the Ottawa Senators and Pittsburgh Penguins open things up at 7:00. That being said, now is a good time to share my first round picks for the Eastern Conference... Washington vs. Montreal: Getting to the playoffs even is an accomplishment for the Canadiens this year after a disastrous Centennial season.

With the first pick in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, the Edmonton Oilers select… Okay, we won’t know quite yet whom the Oilers will select with the first pick, but we do know that it will either be Taylor Hall (Windsor Spitfires) or Tyler Seguin (Plymouth Whalers) from the Ontario Hockey League. So why can’t the speculation begin now? This should be the most intriguing choice since 1987 (from a

From the awe of the actual atmosphere at Fenway Park, to Marco Sturm’s game winning goal in overtime, the 2010 Winter Classic between the Bruins and Flyers was everything that a hockey fan could possibly dream of. From the hype that began in July with the official announcement, to the first skate at Fenway, to the days leading up to the event and to January 1, all the anticipation for the

From yesterday's Inside Hockey version... Thoughts on the Ovechkin Suspension Didn’t we just talk about a game misconduct last week with Alex Ovechkin? Well it looks like Déjà vu all over again this week. As Inside Hockey’s Brad Kurtzberg stated this week, the league did the right thing in suspending the reigning back-to-back Hart Trophy winner. And surprise, surprise, I am on the same page

A Ruckus in Tampa Bay? If you haven’t seen the latest antics from the Tampa Bay Lightning, well, let’s just say they are a little bizarre. After practice earlier this week, the Lightning roster, excluding their coaching staff, decided to take part in a contest called “The Naked Shootout.” This was originally seen in the popular Puck Daddy blog at Yahoo. Rules are simple, you miss a goal and

We all know that Boston Bruins play-by-play announcer Jack Edwards, is just a bit biased when calling the action. When the B's are playing their hated rivals, the Montreal Canadiens, Edwards doesn't stop there. In fact he takes it further. However, even though Edwards had his Revolutionary War rant against the Habs in Game 3 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals last year, and was unhappy

In case your wondering, the anonymous blogger named Eklund (aka Dwayne Kissel, pictured above) pretty much knows how to B.S. his way in the hockey world. In 2007, Dwayne supported the Nashville Predators cause to stay in the Music City. Recently on twitter, Dwayne supported Adrianne Dater's quest to get 1,000 followers by Thursday. If that doesn't happen, Dater said he will get rid of his

By now, I’m sure you all know who Canadian Billionaire Jim Balsillie is. You know, that guy who tried to buy the Pittsburgh Penguins. You know, that guy who tried to buy the Nashville Predators. And let’s not forget, he’s the same guy who tried to buy the Phoenix Coyotes just recently. Did I mention that the Canadian Billionaire tried to move those teams to Hamilton? No, ok didn’t think so.

Speaking of Inside Hockey the big news is that my weekly column: Rosie's Rebounds will debut tomorrow on the site, and on this blog. It

With the NHL season starting Thursday, hockey fans are starting to follow their team(s) and the media through Twitter. Well, it looks like Twitter will be talked about more in the NHL when Super Saturday arrives a couple days later. Early this morning on NHL.com, the league announced that they will run a contest where followers of the NHL Twitter page can pick the 15 games in what the league

After the "Brian Burke" parody twitter account gained steam earlier this year it seems like more and more hockey personalities have jumped to the ever popular social networking site. Well add another one to that list. Just recently Gary_Bettman has decided to jump on the twitter bandwagon to share his tweets with the hockey world. Let's compare "Brian Burke" and Gary_Bettman tweets for a

BOSTON – The annual “State of the Bruins” town hall meeting for Boston Bruins season ticket holders was held last night at the TD Garden, with about 2,700-plus season ticket holders in attendance. And while the regular season doesn’t start for 13 days when the Black and Gold face the Washington Capitals, fans still showed a lot of enthusiasm for this club, just like they started to last season.
