Strap on your skates and grab your stick: Kevin Paul Dupont of the Boston Globe is here, as he is every Wednesday, to talk hockey. We recapped Monday’s Beanpot and talked about a surging Boston Bruins team that might consider a reunion of sorts in the coming weeks. More
Three guesses as to how the Northeastern-Boston University game ended last night. More
It was back-to-back nights on Garden ice with the 63rd Beanpot Tournament on Monday night and a tough Bruins loss to the Canucks last night. Kevin Paul Dupont of the Boston Globe joined me to discuss both, with emphasis on the Bruins’ trade deadline options. More
The Huskies. They kill me, slowly, every February. Down 3-1 with 10 minutes to play in the third period, they came back and tied the Terriers…only to lose sixty seconds into overtime, another opportunity to end their Beanpot drought squandered. More
Watching the Bruins slog through the a third period that included an ugly empty-netter en route to a 5-3 loss to the Dallas Stars was too much to take. This is a Bruins team that can’t quite seem to decide if they want to be good or bad. I asked Kevin Paul Dupont why that is, and we went on to discuss the Evander Kane trade, what’s left on the trade market and upcoming Beanpot finals. More
Where were you on February 8, 1988? Of course you don’t know. That’s too specific of a question. But it makes for a decent segue into this list of minutiae from the first week of February, 1988, which happens to be the last time my beloved Northeastern Huskies Men’s Hockey won the Beanpot.
Of course my beloved Huskies lost in the Beanpot finals. But at least they made it there and played with heart. Can’t say the same about those Terriers, who got smoked by lowly Harvard in the loser’s round. But hey, at least BU fans have their puffy coats to keep them warm for the rest of the winter, right?

Every year, my dad and I go to the Beanpot to cheer on our beloved Northeastern. And every year, the Huskies come up short. BUT NOT THIS YEAR. More
Earlier in the season, when the Florida Panthers visited the Boston Bruins, Tim Thomas watched the action from the 900 section. Last night, the former Bruins goalie was in the net, giving up a half-dozen goals, including this beaut from Shawn “coast-to-coast” Thornton. More
