Tuukka Rask is perhaps the most underappreciated Bruin over the last 20 years. A significant sector of the fanbase unfairly villanized him during his entire career in Boston.

With that in mind, on July 1, Jim Montgomery was brought onboard and introduced … Keep Reading

The 2000s were a bit of a mixed bag for the Bruins. They had some tough seasons, finishing low in the now-defunct Northeast Division. They also made a couple of short playoff runs that left something to be desired. Towards the end of the decade, they started to turn things around … Keep Reading

By: Theo Lander | Follow me on Twitter @lander_theo

The Boston Bruins are not the gang of rough-housers that they once were. The sport has evolved into a more skill-based game at the National Hockey League level. While this has made the game more fun to watch from a talent perspective, I feel we are missing some of the things that … Keep Reading
