The Boston Bruins have signed free agent right wing Miroslav Satan to a one-year contract.

What better way to usher in a new decade than a most memorable skate in the park? The Boston Bruins and Philadelphia Flyers spent the first day of 2010 playing the coolest game on earth in a rink surrounded by a Fenway Park backdrop straight out of Currier & Ives.

The Bruins' Patrice Bergeron helped keep Claude Giroux and the Flyers' No. 1 line off the scoresheet Friday at Fenway.

BOSTON The snowfall has been steady now for well over an hour and it's made for an incredible setting here at Fenway Park.

There comes a point in every man's life when he must right the wrong and admit to his mistakes.

From Wednesday's practices in the snow to Marco Sturm's overtime game-winner, the 2010 Winter Classic was everything the NHL hoped it would be -- and more.

The Winter Classic is such a good gimmick that it's almost unfair to hang that label on it.

"He Is Hard to Believe!" "No, He's Not." It's good to see that Kobe Bryant felt the need to remind us all how good he is by hitting a game-winner against the Kings as Friday night bled into early Saturday.

Bruins goalie Tim Thomas turns away the puck in front of Flyers left-winger Simon Gagne in the third period.

If the NHL does eye the Rogers Centre as a potential site for a Winter Classic one day, there will have to be alterations to the retractable roof.

Since then, fate hasn't been quite so kind. The Bruins' fabulous showing last season was followed by a devastating upset loss to Carolina in the second round of the playoffs, then a rocky and injury-filled start to this season.

In the off-season of 2007, the National Hockey League powers-that-be came up with an idea: bring the game of hockey, long played by kids growing up on outdoor ponds, back to the outdoors on the NHL level as a New Year's Day extravaganza.

Mike Smith made 31 saves and Kurtis Foster had two assists to help the Tampa Bay Lightning beat the Boston Bruins 2-1 Monday night.

Over the course of his Hall of Fame coaching career, Scotty Bowman found one tool most valuable.

For the Bruins, like every other NHL club, the upcoming month is a significant one for scouting teenage puck prodigies, expanding on their organizational viewings, and focusing evaluations of the players that might someday become Boston property.

The B's will emerge from the Christmas break with consecutive road games at the Florida Panthers and the Tampa Bay Lightning on Sunday and Monday.

BOSTON -- The Boston Bruins turned things around just in time for the Christmas break.
