With a late August hurricane looming, it's time to talk hockey. Perhaps you heard that the Boston Bruins had the Cup in Michigan yesterday and takes it to the University of Vermont on September 3. He's even now been turned into a corn field maze at Sherman Farm in East Conway, New Hampshire. It opens to the public on September 17. $9.
Home runs from Adrian Gonzalez and Carl Crawford enabled the Red Sox (33-26) to sweep the Oakland A's with a 6-3 victory on Sunday. The Sox have today off before a three-game set with the Yankees in New York. Crawford's blast was his first at Fenway this season. Gonzalez has 50 RBI already.
It's here! The Bruins begin the ultimate chase for the Stanley Cup tonight in Vancouver. The Canucks are a formidable club to take on, having collected a league-high 117 points in the regular season. The Bruins did beat the Canucks in the regular season thanks to Vancouver native Milan Lucic's goal. To beat Vancouver again, they Bruins need to work on the power play and clean up some defensive errors.
The words "seventh game" provoke a sense of drama for sports fans. For the Bruins, recently, a seventh game means a loss. Boston is 9-10 in seventh games in club history, and is 0-3 since 1994, when the Bruins beat, you guessed it, Montreal. We won't discuss 2010.
The Red Sox and Bruins had won a combined eight straight games before Tuesday. Both teams lost last night to end the streaks.
Depending on who you ask, the pressure is on and not on the Bruins entering the second game of the Eastern Conference quarterfinals down 1-0 after losing 2-0 in the first game. Bruins captain Zdeno Chara will play tonight, the Herald reports, despite a bout of dehydration that sent him to the hospital Friday night.
The struggling Bruins scored four unanswered goals to earn a 4-1 win over New Jersey, just the team's second victory in their last eight games. Zdeno Chara powered the Bruins with the game-winning goal, on a power play, and assists on two others after the Devils led 1-0. Milan Lucic scored his 30th goal to seal the win in the third period. Tomas Kaberle and Patrice Bergeron each added two assists. Tim Thomas had 30 saves.
The Red Sox split their squad today and had a zero in the win column. It's March, though, so none of it really counts anyway. That doesn't mean nothing important happened. The Florida Marlins beat the Red Sox, 11-2. In June, we'd be concerned. Today, not so much. Daisuke Matsuzaka pitched and completed three innings and allowed seven runs on six hits. Oscar Tejada was 3-5 with three RBI versus Baltimore in a 4-4 split-squad tie. Jose Iglesias was 3-4 with an RBI. Carl Crawford had his first two hits for Boston.
The Bruins returned to TD Garden and didn't lose their winning touch with a 2-1 decision over Tampa Bay, the team's seventh straight win. Boston (38-19-7) has 83 points and is in second place in the East. Milan Lucic got the game-winning goal, his 28th, late in the third period. In the second period, Lucic fought Eric Brewer. Steve Kampfer also scored with help from newcomers Chris Kelly, Rich Peverley. Tim Thomas had 27 saves.
Milan Lucic's homecoming game exceeded expectations as he scored the game-winning goal in a 3-1 decision over Vancouver. The Canucks led 1-0 before goals by Nathan Horton, Lucic and Patrice Bergeron turned the game in the Bruins favor. Tim Thomas had 27 saves.
Rajon Rondo was in a giving mood on Tuesday with 15 assists and 19 points to power the Green Machine past the Golden State Warriors 115-93 Tuesday. The C's 55-33 second-half surge broke open a 60-60 game at the half. Kevin Garnett led all scorers with 24 points and 12 rebounds. Paul Pierce added 23 points.
Theo found more of John Henry's money to spend and gave raises to Jonathan Papelbon and Jacoby Ellsbury. Papelbon gets $12 million for 2011. Only Mariano Rivera gets paid more as a relief pitcher at $15 million. Ellsbury jumps from $496,000 to $2.4 million after playing in only 18 games in 2010. If you're scoring at home, the Red Sox payroll will be about $163 million for 2011.
The Bruins are in Florida to take on the Panthers in traditional hockey weather. Maybe not. Either way there's a five-game road swing beginning today. The Bruins will have top scorer Milan Lucic (16-11-27) in uniform since the NHL passed on suspending #17 over the fighting/middle-fingering incident on Thursday in a 4-1 win over Atlanta. Lucic was fined $2,500 for the punch and $1,000 for the, ahhh, gesture. He says he'll pay the fine.
Patriots fans everywhere appear to be getting exactly what they want for Christmas: A healthy Tom Brady. Yes! Brady had the flu earlier this week and actually missed an entire practice on Wednesday and was "limited" on Thursday. But, Friday saw Brady fully involved in practice. "Doing good, ready for this game. Ready for Santa Claus and ready to play some football," he said. He said he missed no preparation for Buffalo as he focused more on off-field preparations - film, treatment - to stay sharp.
From K9 dogs finding a non-threat to Milan Lucic is offering relationship advice to the Pope supporting condom use, Bostonist is surprised by the news today. Remember to follow Bostonist on Twitter and like us on Facebook.
After losing four of five games, the Bruins now find themselves in a three-game winning streak with the Los Angeles Kings on the schedule tonight for a potential fourth straight win. It's simple to see why they're succeeding again with a 10-2 goal differential in three games.
An unidentified female Bruins fan sporting a Milan Lucic T-shirt kicked a hole in a bathroom support pole. It's a must see clip posted by the perpetrator or her accomplices.
Yeah, we know it's not really winter; it's that time of year when you put on the winter coat in the morning because it's 40 and wish you hadn't when you leave work and it's 65. (Or is that just us?) But the Bruins finally make a regular season Boston appearance tomorrow, the Celtics wrap up the preseason tonight, and the Yankees are clinging by their fingernails. It's a good time to be in Boston right now.

After the Bruins season ended, Andy Brickley described the Bruins baffling loss with three words: "No Way" and "Unbelievable". Maybe he was surprised by an historic 4-3 collapse put forth by the Boston Bruins. He shouldn't have been.
If game seven looked familiar to you, you're not alone. Bostonist noticed, too. It appeared strikingly similar to the entire series we've been driven crazy by/secretly enjoyed. Honestly, the maddening inconsistency the team displayed during the regular season was on display last night, too. The Bruins put the Flyers in a 3-0 chokehold before dropping three consecutive games to force an unexpected seventh game. Boston led 3-0 in game 7 before Philadelphia tied the score at 3-3.
It's not like we really thought anything would come easy to this team, would it? Not after the Inconsistent November Bruins were replaced by the Damn Near Unwatchable February Bruins, who were then in turn replaced by the Sensational April Bruins. And so it shouldn't be a surprise that this second-round series has featured all three of those Bruins squads, and that's why we're headed for an improbable Game Seven tomorrow night.
Tuukka Rask has been worse for the psyches of Atlantans this season than General Sherman. Rask notched his second straight shutout of the Thrashers, 4-0 last night, giving the Bruins two desperately-needed points to create a little distance between themselves and the other playoff hopefuls.
So sayeth Milan Lucic, whose overskating led to the game-tying goal yesterday at the Garden, as the Bruins' tour through the various circles of Hell continued with a 3-2 shootout loss to Vancouver, their 10th in a row.
Want to blame the refs? You can. It's quicker and easier this morning than facing another Bruins loss, another opportunity squandered, another miserable morning.
That thing about the Celtics and struggling on Friday nights. Well, nevermind. After three consecutive Friday night home losses, the Celtics beat the Toronto Raptors 116-103 thanks to outstanding shooting and a 33-17 surge in the third quarter after trailing at the half. While the Celtics sent everyone home happy, the Boston Bruins probably aren't happy with Friday's 2-1 shootout loss to the Devils that snapped a four-game winning streak.
Things were going to be different once Milan Lucic and Marc Savard were able to suit up again. When injury claimed not one, but two of the Bruins' game-making talents, objectives changed a bit. Winning games would be great, but keeping things in relatively working order until Looch and Savvy got back (and got things going) would be pretty acceptable.
For the second straight game, the Boston Bruins needed overtime to secure a road victory. For the second straight game, Patrice Bergeron delivered with a game-winning score. Bergeron, who buried a shootout chance and Atlanta on Thursday, beat Buffalo's Ryan Miller 0:47 into overtime, thanks to Zdeno Chara and Marco Sturm, to lift the Bruins to a 2-1 win.
Milan Lucic tied the game at 1-1 with his first goal since April 2, according to NESN. Byron Bitz combined with Lucic and Tuukka Rask, who got his first career assist, on the end-to-end highlight-reel rush. Lucic and Bitz, a pair that had a solid outing, couldn't score on a similar play in the third. Rask had 25 saves.
This morning, the Bostonist sports desk received a press release concerning the painting of Milan Lucic reproduced above, and we immediately knew that we had to post about it. The painting, by Russian artist Veronika Loginova, will be auctioned at the November 27 and November 28 Bruins home games, and the proceeds from its sale will benefit the Sports Museum. Here's what our crack team of sports art critics had to say about the work:
Remember a couple of weeks ago, when Claude Julien said he was getting tired of hard-fought losses? Well, last night must have exhausted him.
