Bruins select Cullen McCrate 216th Overall!

The final pick is in! Cullen McCrate comes to us from the USHL’s Fargo Force, though like many USHL guys the Bruins draft, he will be going to College Hockey this fall; headed to Michigan State. McCrate wasn’t really ranked by anybody but hey, he’s a 7th rounder anyway. It’s all the more reason for […]

Bruins select G Roberto Henriquez 170th overall!

A Dominican-Slovakian, huh? Henriquez comes to us from the USHL, though he is heading to Boston College this fall. His story absolutely rules; he chose to pick up goaltending in Middle School, and promptly just sort of stayed good at it throughout his career, only really stumbling in his first year in a new system […]

Bruins select D Jacob Vandeven 157th Overall!

I mean sure let’s just get crazy why not, right The Bruins have selected GOJHL defender Jacob Vandeven, who is set to play for the London Knights next year. Vandeven is 6’6, 207 pounds, and while he is extremely raw, he has some solid skating skills and decent passing. That said, anything else I might […]

Bruins select Winger Oscar Olsson 122nd Overall!

A real europe heavy draft for the Black and Gold, huh? The Bruins traded down with Pittsburgh for this pick, and got winger Oscar Olsson from Örebro HK’s system. He is 6’4, 187 pounds, and shoots left. He played primarily in the U20 Nationell for Örebro; being a cromulent if unspectacular point getter noteworthy for […]

Bruins select Winger Matvei Kotkov 104th Overall!

From Russia with love, the Bruins select a winger from the Lokomotiv program! Kotkov stands at 6’0, 183 pounds and plays for Lokomotiv’s MHL team; Loko. He was a pretty solid player in both his 2024 and 2025 seasons; being nearly a point per game in both years. Kotkov is noted for his speed and […]

Bruins select Winger Nils Bartholdsson 88th Overall!

If you wanted some scoring upside, the Bruins have you covered with their 3rd overall pick, Nils Bartholdsson! Bartholdsson, who plays for Rögle BK in the SHL and U20 Nationell, is 5’11 and 179 pounds, shooting right. He’s distinguished himself as a slightly over a point per game sniper with Rögle’s U20 team, though only […]

Bruins Select G Yuri Ivanov 56th Overall!

Alright I’ve got a lot of catchup to do so let’s get after it. The Bruins used their 2nd round selection on a goaltender! This one a Russian-born netminder from the Spartak Moscow club who is 6’2, 165 pounds, and had a damn solid year with their VHL team; finishing with a 13-3-1 record, a […]

Patrice Bergeron elected into Hockey Hall of Fame

It’s been a pretty good start to the summer for Patrice Bergeron. Just a few days after the Bruins announced that they’ll be retiring his #37 this season, Bergeron learned today that he has been elected into the Hockey Hall of Fame. This year was the first year Bergeron was eligible for induction, and it’s […]

Morning Skate: Dealing

So much for summer being a quiet period in the NHL, eh? On what would normally be a sleepy June weekend in hockey circles, we had trades, contract extensions, you name it. None of it involved the Bruins in any way, but that’s OK. Let’s recap: Florida swings big (again) Unsatisfied with a year on […]

Bruins to retire Patrice Bergeron’s number next season

In a move that was merely a matter of time, the Bruins announced Thursday morning that they’ll be retiring Patrice Bergeron’s #37 during the 2026-2027 season. Bergeron’s jersey retirement comes on the heels of the B’s retiring Zdeno Chara’s #33 last season, and the Bergeron honor likely isn’t the last one from that golden (modern) […]

Bruins release 2026 Development Camp roster

With the NHL season officially over, all eyes turn towards the usual offseason milestones: the draft, the opening of free agency, etc. The B’s announced their roster for one of those summer milestones today, revealing the list of players who will be coming to Boston for Development Camp later this month. Forwards Cole Chandler, David […]

Morning Skate: Finale

Welcome to a new week, folks — and this one is different: we’re now officially in the NHL offseason! While some teams have been milling around the offseason waiting room for a while now, the book on the 2025-2026 NHL season closed last night with the Carolina Hurricanes’ Game 6 win over the Vegas Golden […]

Morning Skate: McWelcome

Welcome to the end of another week, folks! We’ve got some sweltering temperatures in store for the Boston area over the next few days, with the heat and humidity arriving early this year. Fire up those AC’s and cool down as we move towards the official start of summer. Bruins add McIlvane to their coaching […]

Morning Skate: Punch-Counterpunch

Welcome back! The Bruins are still keeping quiet while the throes of panic moves have already begun with the Dylan Larkin news, and why not? Why not let all the other teams decide to go make a dumb move first then pick through their mistakes? Don has all the time in the world on that […]

Morning Skate: Roller coaster

Welcome to a new week, folks! It’s the first full week in June, if you count a full week as being from Sunday to Saturday, which I think is how it works? Either way, we’re moving toward the first day of summer, but we still have plenty of on-ice action to discuss. A wild Final […]

Sturm finishes eighth in Jack Adams voting

With the Stanley Cup Final rolling on, the NHL is beginning to announce the winners of its season-long awards. We already heard about Matthew Schaefer winning the Calder Trophy as Rookie of the Year, while Zach Werenski won the Norris Trophy as the league’s best defenseman. Yesterday, the league announce the winner of the Jack […]

Morning Skate: Bounceback

Welcome back to another Thursday! The Stanley Cup Final began with an absolute heater of a 5-4 win for the Vegas Golden Knights. It had a little bit of everything; comebacks, players that we generally agree are good looking like they are in hell, questionable goaltending, and the bad guys winning, setting up tonight’s contest […]

You don’t have to care about NHL TV Ratings

The Stanley Cup Playoffs are tomorrow, and from there the Carolina Hurricanes and the Vegas Golden Knights will wage war to add to their trophy cases. The storylines for both sides are quite impressive; Carolina’s plays for goalscoring value have been largely undercut by the ramifications of the Mikko Rantanen trade being, in hindsight, a […]

Morning Skate: Kultamitali!

Welcome back! It’s Monday. The World Championships have wrapped up, and some Bruins are coming home with a medal! Henri Jokiharju and Joonas Korpisalo, who have been riding Finland’s return to the top of the mountain with the return of Sasha Barkov and the rise of Konsta Helenius to a Gold Medal finish over the […]

Morning Skate: Summer

It’s time for another week of the offseason, folks! Sorry about the lack of new threads last week — between the season ending and then the long weekend, things kind of got away from me. We’ll try to have more than one thread a week going forward, prior to all of the offseason review stuff […]
