Causeway Crowd - A Boston Bruins Blog

As NHL Director for FanSided Sports I wanted to take this opportunity to see if there’s anyone out there looking to have their voice heard. Causeway Crowd has openings for dedicated and enthusiastic writers.  Do you have something that you want to say? This could be your outlet for that.

I’m sure there’s someone out there that would love to be a lead writer, or a staff writer here at our site to cover one of the most storied franchises in the NHL.

There are a few different ways that you can be a part of this, and it can be a rewarding assignment for the right person(s).

If you have any interest at all please send me and email at Frank.Rekas@fansided.com

Do you want to contribute at one of our other sites? Contact me on that as well, and let’s see if we can work things out!

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks!

Tonight the Boston Bruins invade Sunrise Florida to take on the stumbling Florida Panthers.  Coming off a lackluster performance  against the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday night where they lost 4-2.  The Bruins haven’t been playing their game for a full 60 minutes for a few games now.  In the last 3 games since losing to the Vancouver Canucks, the Bruins haven’t put together a solid effort and play thier style of hockey consistenly.  It does coincide with the Brad Marchand suspension, but that’s a convenient excuse.  One thing about the Bruins under Claude Julien is that they don’t make convenient excuses.  Tonight they’ll also be without Rich Peverley who is out with a personal issue.

The Boston Bruins travel to Raleigh to take on the Carolina Hurricanes tonight.  It’ll be the third meeting of the year for these teams.  Carolina has won both meetings, the first a 3-2 victory in Carolina back on October 12th and a 4-1 in thumping in Boston over a clearly hungover Stanley Cup Champion Bruins team.  The second loss dropped them to 2-4 on the young season.  But that was October and this is January.  The Bruins finished the month of October just 3-7, but since then have been the hottest team in the NHL, going a ridiculous 25-4-1 in their last 30 games!

 It was a strange night, but in the end, the Boston Bruins were able to hang on and beat the Montreal Canadiens 2-1 tonight at the Garden.  The Bruins got goals from Jordan Caron in the first period and Milan Lucic in the third.  The Canadiens got their only goal on a controversial third period power play.

Earlier today Brendan Shanahan and the NHL Department of Player Safety handed down a well deserved 5 game suspension to Brad Marchand for his low hit on Vancouver Canuck’s defenseman Sami Salo.  Shanahan’s video, which you can watch here, does a great job of outlining why the hit was so unacceptable.

Canucks Score 4 Power Play Goals In Most Exciting Game of the Year!

In a time when few things in life (never mind sports) live up to their hype, yesterdays game between the Vancouver Canucks and the Boston Bruins did just that.  The game pretty much had it all, except a happy ending for Bruins fans, as they lost 4-3 to the Canucks on home ice and may have lost Brad Marchand for a few games, as he awaits a hearing with the league for his clip on Sami Salo.  The Canucks got all of their offense on the Power Play, scoring 4 times in 11 chances.  The Bruins, meanwhile were less disciplined than they were during the Finals and they paid the price.  The big blow was a 5 minute power play, courtesy of a dirty hit by Brad Marchand, for the Canucks in which they scored their 3rd and 4th goals of the day, which the Bruins couldn’t recover from.

Coming into the game, the big story was Roberto Luongo ducking out of this game.  No matter what they want you to believe, Luongo could have started if he wanted.  Typical Canucks!

Well, this should be interesting.  206 days ago, the Bruins beat the Vancouver Canucks in Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals to win their first championship in 39 years.  Saturday, the Canucks visit Boston for the first time since Game 6 of that series.  That was the third of three blowouts the Boston Bruins handed Vancouver in Boston.  The beat the Canucks by a combined score of 17-3!.  They chased Roberto Luongo in two of those games.
