Recap: Bruins start fast, fizzle out against Minnesota

Playing their second game in 24 hours, the Bruins got off to a flying start when Tanner Jeannot scored less than two minutes into the game. Unfortunately, that was about as good as things would get for the visitors. Minnesota would score twice in each of the final two periods to pull away from the […]

Public Skate: Bruins vs. Wild

Recap: Late goals lift B’s to Opening Night win over Rangers

The Bruins got three goals just 75 seconds apart late in the third period to turn what had been a relatively sleepy affair into a 3-0 Opening Night win. Fraser Minten broke the deadlock […]

Public Skate: Bruins vs. Rangers

Opening Night is here! After a brief preseason and training camp, the Bruins and Rangers begin their respective marches towards the Stanley Cup tonight.

David Pastrnak named Bruins captain

The Boston Bruins have officially named David Pastrnak as the 28th captain in team history! This completes the entire cycle of the Perfection line being given the “C”, but it is extremely well earned for Pasta. I think we all had some semblance of this happening when he pulled James Hagens aside asking him to […]
