Boston Bruins

Boston Bruins goalie Tim Thomas is considering taking a leave of absence from the ice, and even wrote in a Facebook message on Saturday that “hockey’s just not that important right now.”

Boston Bruins fans thought they were going to a hockey game last night, but ended up witnessing real life Rock 'em Sock 'em Robots. There were three fights in the first four seconds of the game, one on each drop of the puck. Once the melee was sorted out and each team had a full penalty box, the scoring began with 2 goals within the first 1:20...

Drew Stafford returned to the lineup last night and scored all three goals for the Buffalo Sabres in their 3-2 victory at HSBC arena.

A bonehead pass by Mike Weber cost the Sabres a point against the Bruins. Nathan Horton’s goal with 6:21 left tied the game and Mark Recchi ended it in overtime. Sabres host San Jose tomorrow night at 7.
