Share this: Just about everything went well for the Boston Bruins on Thursday. The B’s earned a 5-2 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets, and four of those goals were scored by either a defenseman or bottom-six forwards. Secondary scoring production can’t get much better than that. And the one goal that did come from the top two lines was David Backes’ first score since the season opener. But that wasn’t the only good thing Bruins coach Claude Julien saw from his squad. “I think our overall game is coming around,” Julien told NESN’s Andy Brickley and Jack Edwards on “Bruins Overtime Live.” “We’ve been good lately with special teams, and even if we didn’t score (Thursday night) on our power play, we still had some

Ibrahimović shines, Nice and Feyenoord stall

Canadiens’ First Regulation Loss Of Season Comes In Brutal 10-0 Defeat
Share this: If you were taken aback when you looked at the NHL box scores Friday night, you certainly weren’t alone. The Montreal Canadiens, who led the league with 19 points and had yet to lose in regulation this season heading into Friday, surrendered 10 (!) goals to the Columbus Blue Jackets in an embarrassing 10-0 loss. Scott Hartnell, Josh Anderson, Cam Atkinson and Nick Foligno all scored twice, while Seth Jones and David Savard both lit the lamp once in an offensive clinic put on by the Blue Jackets at Nationwide Arena. Al Montoya got the start in net for the Canadiens. He made 30 stops, but that doesn’t really matter when you allow 10 goals.

One Photo Sums Up Lionel Messi’s Back-To-Back Hat Tricks In Champions League
Share this: When Lionel Messi rains goals in the UEFA Champions League, he tends to pour them. The FC Barcelona superstar scored a hat trick Wednesday in his team’s 4-0 Champions League win over Manchester City. The treble was Messi’s second in row in Europe’s elite competition — a simply astonishing feat from a player many regard as the best of all time. Messi scored his first goal of the game in the 17th minute. The Argentine struck again in the 61st minute and completed his hat trick eight minutes later. Messi now leads the Champions League in goal-scoring this season with six (in just two games). His next closest rivals have three goals in three games. The plaudits to come Messi’s way after his record-extending
Patriots Keys Vs. Bengals: Fixing Defensive Deficiencies Among Week 6 Goals
Rob Gronkowski made Week 6 quite a bit more interesting Friday, when he was conspicuously absent from New England Patriots practice. Gronkowski, who has dealt with a hamstring injury since training camp, causes a stir any time he’s not on the field. The big tight end is dealing with an illness, according to the Patriots, though no other information has been reported or revealed. The Patriots have just one fully healthy tight end on their roster, AJ Derby, since Martellus Bennet is questionable with an ankle injury and Greg Scruggs already has been ruled out with a knee injury. We’ll likely see Gronkowski take the field Sunday against the Cin... NESN.com
