Brad Marchand was already sniping at the coach, already pushing buttons, already in vintage form. “He started barking the first drill,” Montgomery said. After remaining relatively quiet over the first two games of the series -- with two assists in Game 1 and another in Game 2 -- Marchand arrived in all his glory on Wednesday, in all his goal-scoring, getting-under-their-skin, tangling-on-the-ice, glory ..read more

Jeremy Swayman has made 63 combined saves in two postseason games against the Toronto Maple Leafs to help propel the Boston Bruins to a 2-1 series lead in the opening round of the Stanley Cup playoffs.

Marchand and Bertuzzi both got tripped up and a couple moments later, Marchand got his stick between Bertuzzi's skates a ..read more

Like a quarterback spotting an open receiver, Domi sent the puck sailing over the neutral zone and hit Matthews in stride.
