Boston Herald Patrice Bergeron has a power-play goal in this playoff series, and Brad Marchand has a couple of assists. But as a unit with Tyler Seguin, the line has not been able to produce anything on the scoreboard.And if the Bruins are to put the Toronto Maple Leafs down, they need the trio that carried the team for much of the short 48-game season to get going offensively.
Boston Bruins May 11, 2013Boston Bruins Blog | ESPN Boston BOSTON -- Throughout the regular season, the line of Brad Marchand, Patrice Bergeron and Tyler Seguin was the Bruins' most consistent trio of forwards. Marchand led the team in points with 36 and goals with 18, and Seguin and Bergeron were tied for third on the team in points with 32 apiece. All three were solid defensively, and on many nights proved to be the most complete players on the team. But while their defensive game hasn't dropped significantly in the playoffs, they have been nearly invisible offensively, with Marchand notching two assists, Bergeron a goal and Seguin no points throu...

Boston Bruins May 9, 2013Boston Herald TORONTO — Playoff hockey is intense and violent and pressure-packed. It is also just a game, and should be, to an extent, enjoyed as such.That’s a message Tyler Seguin had on his mind yesterday as he prepared for last night’s Game 4 of the Bruins first-round series against the Maple Leafs. Relax and have fun.
Boston Bruins May 8, 2013Boston Herald TORONTO — It’s not often that Bruins coach Claude Julien has had to ask for a little more from the line of Patrice Bergeron, Brad Marchand and Tyler Seguin this year.But going into last night’s Game 4 of the Eastern Conference quarterfinal series with the Toronto Maple Leafs, Julien did mention that he’d like to see that unit pick up it’s game a little bit.And in last night’s 4-3 overtime victory, a couple of players moved in the right direction.

Toronto Star Heading into Wednesday night’s Game 4, with the Bruins leading the best-of-seven series 2-1, Seguin has yet to register a point.
Toronto Maple Leafs May 8, 2013Boston Herald It’s a nice little sports debate, this business of comparing Phil Kessel’s occasional return visits to Boston with Tyler Seguin’s occasional return visits to Toronto, but it fails on so many levels.
Boston Bruins May 5, 2013Boston Bruins Blog | ESPN Boston BOSTON -- Phil Kessel scored 75 goals (including playoffs) during three seasons with the Bruins before demanding a trade out of Boston in 2009. Since the deal, which netted the Bruins two first-round draft picks that ended up being Tyler Seguin and Dougie Hamilton, there seemed to be a curse set upon the sniper. Kessel would muster only three power-play goals in 23 games against Boston heading into Game 2 Saturday night at TD Garden. “Thank you Kessel” chants would rain down on him every time he played in Boston and he had no goals at the arena he called home since becoming a Maple Leaf.
Boston Bruins May 4, 2013Boston Bruins Blog | ESPN Boston BOSTON -- Once the Stanley Cup playoff matchups were determined, Boston Bruins forward Tyler Seguin and Toronto Maple Leafs forward Phil Kessel knew they would be part of the storyline for this Eastern Conference quarterfinal series. Hockey fans, especially in Toronto and Boston, have known since June 2010 that Seguin could have possibly played for the Maple Leafs if the organization hadn’t traded first-round picks in the 2010 and 2011 NHL Entry Draft to the Bruins to acquire Kessel in September of 2009.
Boston Bruins May 1, 2013Boston Herald “Thank you, Kess-el!”That derisive chant has been ringing down from the Garden rafters ever since Kessel and Tyler Seguin, one of several draft picks the B’s got in the Kessel trade, stepped on the same ice together in 2010.
Boston Bruins May 1, 2013Boston Herald In his previous two NHL postseasons, Tyler Seguin was still just the new kid, a young man with tremendous potential and a lot to learn about life, on and off the ice, in the big leagues.Come playoff time, any good hockey person knew better than to expect too much from a youngster like Seguin. It wouldn’t be fair or reasonable to ask a teenager to step up and deliver amid the heightened intensity and pressure of the playoffs.

Pension Plan Puppets We present to you a new series explaining exactly why particular members of the Boston Bruins are the absolute worst, in no particular order: The Boston Bruins are a truly amazing hockey team. Who else could offload a right-wing nutjob loon like Tim Thomas and still remain the least-likable team in the NHL? That takes true dedication to amassing as many outright jerks as humanly possible to complete a roster while also remaining competitive. You could pile up an entire team of Zach Stortinis and Raffi Torreses and 2009 Matt Cookes, and your team would be fairly bad, but to win a Stan...
Toronto Maple Leafs April 30, 2013Boston Herald There will be plenty of story lines coming out of the Bruins-Maple Leafs conference quarterfinal series, which opens on Wednesday night at the Garden, and Tyler Seguin will be right in he middle of the biggest one.Seguin, of course, was part of the mega-deal in 2009 that sent Phil Kessel to Toronto. Coming back were the draft picks that wound up being Seguin, Dougie Hamilton and Jared Knight.
