Posted Sports Redux: Revenge to Bostonist
How would you handle it? Straight up revenge, going after Matt Cooke? Eye-for-an-eye, going after Sidney Crosby? Or just try to win the game? That's the dilemma the Bruins face tonight, with Cooke and the Penguins in town for the first time since he knocked Marc Savard out for the year with the famous cheapshot to the back of Savvy's head. It's not enough for the B's that the NHL is finally thinking about...
Posted Sports Redux: That's More Like It, Too to Bostonist
The Celtics AND the Bruins? Both winning in solid fashion against inferior opponents on consecutive nights? Has the world turned upside-down?

LeBron...
Posted Sports Redux: Bruins Come Alive! to Bostonist
Matt Slocum / Associated Press Offensive struggles? What offensive struggles? The Bruins put more goals on the board last night than they did in the entire month of February - well, that's how it seems - exploding for a 5-1 win in Philadelphia that showed they still have a little spunk in them. The big winner of the day was Patrice Bergeron, moved onto the first line after Marc Savard's injury (which they now...
