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 […]

2026 WJC Day 5 RECAP: Baltic Jubilation, Teutonic Humiliation

The middle-powers played today! Game 1: Switzerland blanks Germany 4-0 I think the Germans are in trouble. Game Notes Game 2: Latvia and Denmark have a boat race of a game, Latvia wins 6-3 Game Notes Games Today Game 1: Stoic Switzerland vs. See-Saw Slovakia Switzerland has played some low event, crushing games that has […]

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 […]

2026 WJC Day 3 & 4 RECAPVAGANZA: Stages Set

Hi! Sorry, I had an ear infection that wiped me out! Anyway, here’s day 3 and 4! 2026 WJC Day 3: Scandinavian Supremacy Game 1: Sweden pulls themselves together in time to win 4-2 Game Notes Game 2: Latvia explodes into blood in 8-0 blowout at the hands of Finland Can you chill, Finland!? Game […]

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. The Bruins will have no more time to wallow, as they jump back into the fray against the red-hot Buffalo Sabres. Bruins! Sabres! On […]

2025-26 WJC Day 1 RECAP: Skill Floor Readjustment

This tournament’s gonna be wild. I can feel it. Game 1: Sweden gets a scare, wins 3-2 anyway against Slovakia Tre Kronor decided they were gonna wake their fans up by giving them a serious spooking. Game Notes Game 2: Finns flush Danes in 6-2 drubbing Thank you for coming, Denmark! Game Notes Game 3: […]

Just the Facts Bruins Prospects at the World Juniors Group Previews Group A – Freedom Fries Group B – Goo Goo Baby division for Canada What’s the Schedule like? It looks like this! The games begin on December 26th, and the Elimination round begins on January 2nd. Good luck to all Bruins prospects in the […]

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, […]

Public Skate: Bruins vs. Canadiens

Welcome to Rivalry Night, folks! Well, kind of. For the first time in a while, the Bruins and Canadiens are jockeying for position in the standings and had some fireworks in their last match-up, so we could be in for some entertainment tonight. Or, the slumping Bruins could lay another egg. Who knows? Hopefully you […]

Morning Skate: Skid

Monday is upon us, and welcome to Christmas Week! Merry, joyful, peaceful, etc. The Bruins are now officially in a mini slump, dropping their third game in a row last night, with all three of those losses coming on home ice. The Senators breezed to a far-too-comfortable 6-2 win, with the TD Garden crowd voicing […]

Bruins RECAP: Defense short-circuits in 6-2 Loss to Ottawa

A night best described as “enlightening”. 1st Period Things started poorly. Very. Very. VERY poorly for the Bruins. On the Bright side, David Pastrnak uncorked a missile to avoid the B’s getting shut out. The Period ended with a score of 3-1 2nd Period Things did not improve, as the Sens remained embedded in the […]

Public Skate: Bruins vs. Senators

Welcome to Sunday night, folks! Today is the Winter Solstice in the Northern Hemisphere (which is the best hemisphere, in my opinion). That means it’s the shortest day of the year, so we can just pretend it’s been Sunday night all day. Makes sense. Anyways, the Bruins will host the Ottawa Senators at TD Garden […]

Morning Skate: Extra

All good things come to an end, right? For the Bruins, their once blemish-free record beyond regulation this season now has its first scuff, as the Vancouver Canucks beat the B’s in a shootout last night, 5-4. It was a pretty entertaining game overall, with the B’s getting contributions from both down-the-lineup guys (goals from […]
