The Boston Bruins beat the Detroit Red Wings (April 26) today in Game 5 of their opening round Stanley Cup playoff series. The Bruins now advance to the second round where they will take on another 'Original Six' team, the Montreal Canadiens.

As the NHL playoffs are about to begin, I thought I’d see how well I would do with my predictions. Overall, I think it will be Boston vs. St. Louis for the Stanley Cup when that time comes.

Congratulations to Wendy Kostinko! She is the winner of our trip to Chicago for the Ultimate Hockey Experience!

Do you eat, sleep, and breathe hockey? Love deep dish pizza and lake effect weather? So do we.

The 2013-2014 strike-less NHL regular season gets under way today. Bruins start Thursday at home against the Tampa Bay Lightning. You can always catch the Bruins games on our sister station Kool AM in Augusta-Waterville over the air at 1400 AM and 1490 AM. Hockey games always have the best arena rock while the clock has stopped. Here are a few of my favorites.

Some hockey fans who missed out on the end of Game 4 of the Stanley Cup finals were left asking, "What the puck?"

The Chicago Blackhawks face the Boston Bruins in the best-of-seven Stanley Cup Finals beginning on Wednesday night in Chicago. Here's a preview of the series that will decide the NHL's championship:

Hockey players are a different breed of people. Not only do you have to be prepared for huge body checks and face down sharp skates and hard sticks, but you also have to be willing to throw your body in the way of sharply-hit frozen rubber pucks.

After tonight, will I be spending the rest of the NHL playoffs cheering on the Red Sox? Or will the Bruins move on to the next round? Not to jinx them, but I think the Bruins will beat Toronto tonight. The game is at TD Garden and I think the Bruins remember the implosion the Flyers took advantage of a few years back in the 2009 playoffs.

This weekend we'll find out who's playing in the Super Bowl, and hockey fans get their game back. Here's what to watch:

Normally we would be knee deep into the NHL season by now, but the puck will drop later this month on a new season thanks to the lockout, which ended last weekend. And the NFL playoffs are in full swing. So what are you more pumped for -- the NHL's return, or the NFL playoffs?

The NHL Lockout is over and the season starts in less than two weeks. I am excited about the 48-50 game schedule like I was last year with the NBA shortened season. I don’t blame players and owners for feuding over money and leverage but what seems outrageous to me is how long it took to get a deal done.

How has your weekend been so far? Have you taken down all of your holiday decorations? That has been and is the task for us today along with laundry. It's amazing to me how much faster and easier it is to put up the decor than it is to take it down.

The National Hockey League and its players' union reached a tentative agreement to end the league's 113-day lockout on Sunday.

On this date, December 10th in 1992 the NHL added two teams, one in Miami and the other in Anaheim for the 1994-1995 season. The NHL was expanding and everything was going well or seemed to be anyway? Here we are 20 years later with what feels like a never-ending lockout.

If there's one thing that sucks about sports, it's lockouts. Lockouts mean no games on TV, no dude time, and a greater chance we'll have to spend time with our women learning how to cook cheese fondue and make potpourri centerpieces. That's why we've been pretty annoyed about this whole NHL lockout.
