Bruins Get By Canadians From Rask Stellar Performance, Win 2-1



The Bruins got by the Canadians Wednesday night by a score of 2-1. Boston scored their only 2 goals in the third period. Montreal outplayed the Bruins in the first period but Boston stepped it up during the 2nd period. Even though Montreal scored in the 2nd period, Boston entered the 3rd period scoring 2 quick goals. For the remainder of the game, Rask would help the Bruins with excellent goal tending. Let's see the stats.

Tuukka Rask: 20 out of 21 shots saved
Tyler Seguin: 1 Goal, 1 Assist
David Krejci: 1 Goal, 1 Assist
Milan Lucic: 6 Hits

Player Of The Game: Tyler Seguin

The player of the game award is going to Seguin for scoring his first actual real goal last night. His first goal was an empty netter, so yeah... Anyways, the Bruins played a good, not great, game. Defense did good letting up only 21 shots. But as for offense, hey, at least Seguin scored. This game didn't show much rivalry but it's only the first meeting of the season. There weren't any fights and the only sign of a fight was when Adam McQuaid stepped up to fight but didn't want to draw the penalty, somehow he would anyway. This win puts Boston at the top of the division. Well, next up we face the Steven Stamkos and the Lightning. Boston is expecting a big snow storm to hit Friday and the game could get pushed to the night. If it does then the Bruins will have to play Saturday night and then Buffalo the next day on Sunday.

Red Sox Hire Dana Levangie As Bullpen Coach

The Red Sox have signed Dana Levangie as our bullpen coach. Levangie has been with the Red Sox for 22 years as a player, and coach. Here's what the big man, manager, John Farrel had to say about this.

“We are extremely pleased to add Dana to the major league staff,” manager John Farrell said in a statement. “He has been a valuable asset to the Red Sox in a variety of roles and his vast knowledge of the Major Leagues, particularly the American League, will enable him to make an impact on our staff and with our bullpen.” 

So basically he is going to basically help/coach the bullpen and other players. This will sure get us out of last place and bring us to into 1st!

No, but seriously, I do think the Red Sox will make the playoffs.

Gronk Spotted In Las Vegas Partying With Broken Forearm

ESPN The Magazine's "NEXT" Event
Patriots star tight end, Rob Gronkowski was spotted at a Las Vegas club partying with his broken forearm. This is a disgrace... I mean c'mon, you're healthy enough to go partying a club but can't play in the playoffs with us? One word: idiot. The fact that he was wrestling just sickens me. I mean if he injures his arm more, he could not be healthy for this next season. This marks one of the numerous times he has been caught partying. I mean just last year after the Super Bowl, he was partying and getting drunk. Now he's doing it again. This is a disgrace to Robert Kraft, owner of the Patriots because it puts a downside on his team. Well, someone needs to talk some sense into Gronk because he needs to grow up and become mature if he wants to be in the NFL...

Pierce's clutch 3 with 2.5 seconds left gives Celtics a 106-104 win




Celtics nearly blew a 19 point lead to the Clippers but Pierce hit a clutch 3 to secure us the win. The Celtics got sloppy at the end with the turnovers but a win is a win. So does Pierce's clutch 3 secure him the Player of the Game? Your gonna need more than a clutch shot to secure yourself player of the game. Lets look at the stats:

Paul Pierce: 22 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists and shot 4-6 shooting 3's

Brandon Bass: 9 points 8 rebounds and 4 assists

Kevin Garnett: 12 points 5 rebounds

Avery Bradley: 4 points

Courtney Lee: 7 points

Our bench also did good with both Barbosa and Green getting 14 points, Terry had 13 and even Collins had 7 points. I'm sure your all satisfied with this win but i'm not. We blew a lead, and we barely beat them when they were missing Chris Paul and someone else thats good but for some reason I forgot. Next up an improved Raptors team.

No Fear, Tuukka Is Here


Chris Bourque and teammates celebrate after his first goal as a Bruin.

Rask and the Bruins shutout the Leafs yesterday by a score of 1-0. It was a close game with the only goal being scored by Chris Bourque, which was his first as a Bruin. Rask did a great job in net stopping 21 shots. Let's look at the stats.

Tuukka Rask: 21 out of 21 shots saved
Chris Bourque: 1 Goal

Player Of The Game: Tuukka Rask

Yeah so there wasn't that many important stats in the game. All I know is, the defense stepped it up big time only allowing 21 shots. Rask also rebounded from his last start. Next up, we face the Montreal Canadians, or as some people would say, the Habs. LET'S GO BRUINS! DESTROY THE HABS!

Key Game: Clippers VS Celtics



This is it this game right here will decide if we are a true contender for the championship. The Clippers are 3rd in the west with a 34-14 record and beat us earlier this season 106-77. Yikes. No one is giving us a chance to win it all, but true loyal Celtics fans like me believe we have a chance. People that aren't loyal (DJ) are probably jumping of the bandwagon and going to the Heats.

Without Rondo it's gonna be tough but I think we could pull of the upset, but we won't. Clippers win 103-95

Celtics win 3rd straight against Magic 97-84




So the Celtics have had 3 straight and this time without Rondo AND Sullinger. Jeff Green played great with 17 points 3 blocks and 3 dunks and he isn't a starter so i'll say it now. Jeff Green will be the player of the game. Lets look at the stats:

Paul Pierce: 14 points 11 rebounds and 7 assists (3 consecutive game with 10 or more rebounds for the first time since 2005)

Brandon Bass: 6 points 7 rebounds

Kevin Garnett: 14 points 10 rebounds

Avery Bradley: 6 points

Courtney Lee: 14 points 5 rebounds 5 assists

The Celtics have been playing well lately winning 3 in a row but 2 of those wins were against crappy teams that we should be able to beat. Our biggest test though will come this Sunday against the Clippers. Rajon who? (Too soon?)
