Bruins RECAP: Bruins receive another painful lesson in 7-4 LOSS
Well hey, guess what. We’re the easy target now. First Period Things didn’t start ideal with a penalty kill, and it became a 5-on-3, and it especially didn’t go great with Jordan Eberle getting oodles of time and space to score a goal with the man advantage. 1-0 Kraken. Mercifully, David Pastrnak is still here! […]
Bruins GAMETHREAD: vs. Seattle
Welcome in! What’s on tap?
Bruins Preview: Boston takes on Seattle to end road trip
Just the Facts Game Preview So those Kraken, a team a lot of people sort of wrote off as directionless with too many albatross contracts and too few high-end scoring talents…appear to be third in the division and have one of the best records in the Pacific over the last ten games. This season’s theme […]
WJC 2026 Wrap-up: Sweden finally goes Golden!
10,000 years of IIHF hockey, man. This tournament rules. Bronze Medal: Canada finally ends the medal drought in a 6-3 drubbing of Finland! Now that’s a medal win. Game Notes Gold Medal: Sweden at long last tastes gold in 4-2 dissection of the Czechs I get the feeling Sweden didn’t want history repeating itself in […]
WJC Medal Round PRIMER: Breaking Curses or Making History
What. A. Tournament. How we got here Relegation Game: Germany finally gets going in a rout of Denmark See ya in a couple of years, Denmark. Quarterfinal Matchup 1: Sweden strikes Latvia down in 6-3 slugfest I still believe in you, Latvia. Quarterfinal Matchup 2: Czechia cruises to easy 6-2 Victory over Switzerland I think […]
Morning Skate: Stateside
Welcome to a new week, folks! If you’re a boring, 9-5 office worker like me, this is the week when the “eh, I’ll get to it after the holidays” rent comes due, so good luck to all of you out there. The Bruins completed the Canadian portion of their road trip over the weekend, beating […]
Public Skate: Bruins vs. Canucks
Welcome to Saturday night, folks! We’ve got our first Bruins game of the calendar year. Time to start fresh and all of that good stuff…except maybe not, as it’d be nice to see the B’s replicate their last performance of 2025. The Canucks are not a good hockey team, so this game should be there […]

WJC 2026 Quarterfinals PRIMER: When it Counts
Welcome back! The World Juniors this year was, in a lot of ways, kind of like the NHL season so far; we know exactly one team is good. The rest? Shown flashes but ultimately extremely flawed. Which has made naturally, for an extremely fun tournament. Very few games have felt noncompetitive and that’s only because […]
Morning Skate: Milano
Happy New Year, folks! Hopefully you had yourselves a decent stretch of “what year is it” days, as we now find ourselves in another one of those limbo Fridays before the real world returns (for many) on Monday. The Bruins, in surprising fashion, ended 2025 on a high note with a 6-2 win over the […]
Public Skate: Bruins vs. Oilers
Welcome to the last Public Skate of 2025, folks! You’ve skated publicly 80-something times (or close, I estimated) this year, and we always appreciate your participation. Hopefully tonight’s game won’t inspire another round of searching the comments for ways to describe how bad the game was, but beggars can’t be choosers. Tonight looks like a […]

Morning Skate: Point
The bad news: the Bruins lost again. The good news: at least they got a point this time? The B’s dropped their sixth game in a row last night, losing to Calgary 2-1 in overtime. Connor Zary scored a PPG two minutes into OT to give Calgary the win, a goal that was some sort […]

Public Skate: Bruins vs. Flames
Welcome to Monday Night Hockey, folks! Fresh off of a sound defeat at the hands of the Buffalo Sabres, the Bruins begin their Western Canada swing with a stop in Calgary. These Western Canada road trips are usually good measuring sticks for East Coast teams, but the Bruins aren’t exactly firing on all cylinders at […]
Morning Skate: West
Welcome to a new week, folks! I find myself still firmly in that “what day is it?” post-Christmas haze, so I didn’t realize the Bruins were playing in Calgary tonight until this morning. We won’t have a full preview for you, but consider this a mini-preview and place to gather until the Public Skate. The […]
2026 WJC Day 2 RECAP: Closer than it should be
Some of the higher powers of this tournament decided they wanted to scare the living daylights out of their fanbases on Day 2. Game 1: Germany disappoints in 4-1 loss to Slovakia You got my hopes up for that? Game Notes Game 2: Canada is put into a position to survive Latvia again. This time […]
Bruins RECAP: Boston gets hard dose of reality in 4-1 Loss
That dose is that the skill drop off between Boston and Buffalo is a lot steeper in Buffalo’s favor than in Boston’s. 1st Period Things started okay for the Bruins! After a faceoff in the neutral zone went for Boston, the B’s recovered the puck and gave it to David Pastrnak, who put a bullet […]
Public Skate: Bruins vs. Sabres
Welcome back from the brief Christmas break, folks! Hopefully you’ve had yourself a good few days as we wallow in the no-man’s-land portion of the calendar between Christmas and New Year’s.

Recap: Lack of discipline sinks B’s in 6-2 loss to Montreal
Just two days before Christmas, the slumping Bruins delivered a heaping helping of coal in your stocking. The B’s allowed four Montreal goals in the third period en route to a convincing 6-2 loss, the fourth in a row for the home team. It was a 2-2 game at the start of the third period, […]
