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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
Welcome to Tuesday, folks! A new week is upon us, and we have one more team joining the ranks of the eliminated. And then there were four The Buffalo Sabres were knocked out of the playoffs via a 3-2 OT loss to Montreal on Monday night, sending the Habs on to the Eastern Conference Final. […]
Welcome to the end of another week, folks! While there isn’t a ton going on in Bruins World, there are a few things happening, plus the NHL playoffs roll on for the remaining teams. Langenbrunner moving on Earlier this week, we shared how the Bruins might be at risk of losing Evan Gold, Jamie Langenbrunner, […]
The NHL announced on Tuesday evening that Bruins defenseman Charlie McAvoy will be suspended for the first six games of next season, the result of a slash on Buffalo’s Zach Benson in Game 6 of the Bruins-Sabres series. McAvoy was given a major and a game misconduct on the play in real time, with that […]
Welcome to a new Morning Skate, folks! We’ll try to have some new threads up for you a few times a week as the playoffs play out, just as a place to discuss those games and anything else that may be on your mind. Playoffs roll on As we watch other teams have fun from […]
Welcome to Thursday/Friday, folks! As we move into the offseason, we’ll try to cover any relevant news and put up new threads every couple of days for open discussion, then eventually start with the player reviews, recaps, and all that fun stuff. For now, we’re still in the immediate aftermath of the Bruins’ playoff elimination, […]
Just the Facts Wait, why are we doing one of these? Boston was a playoff team! Yes they were! No matter what happens, they will be picking at least 23rd in this Draft. Mathis Preston or ALEXANDER COMMAND can be yours when it comes down to it! But! As a result of the Brandon Carlo […]
Folks, I have the unfortunate duty today to welcome you to…the offseason. The Bruins officially checked out of the playoffs via Friday night’s loss to the Buffalo Sabres, ending a better-than-expected season sooner than we had hoped. But the playoffs wait for no one’s sorrows, with things moving right along across the NHL: two second […]
First Period Things began with a miserable sequence that ended up with Alex Tuch being left all alone, and that had the Bruins down 1-0 early. Then, late in the period, the Bruins were hemmed into their own end, and the Sabres moved in just the right way to give Mattias Samuelsson a perfect screen […]
Welcome back to another Public Skate, folks! Tonight, we’ve got a playoff home game at TD Garden on a Friday night, which should lead to a good atmosphere (provided the home side doesn’t go down 3-0 in the first five minutes again). The Bruins showed some moxie, grit, resolve, etc. in extending the series via […]
Just the facts Know your enemy Game notes See ya tonight!
Happy Thursday, folks! It’s the last day of April, and the Bruins still have at least one more hockey game on the schedule, so that’s a reason to have yourself a good Thursday. The B’s and Sabres are off again today ahead of Game 6, which will be at TD Garden on Friday night. The […]
After a pummeling on home ice in Game 4, Bruins fans headed into last night’s elimination game in Buffalo hoping for, if nothing else, some pride, some effort, and a team that would show up, rather than go out with a whimper. They got that and more, as the Bruins recovered from an early one-goal […]
Welcome to another night of Bruins hockey, folks! Ideally, this isn’t the last one until October, but that’s up to the Bruins, not any of you. (Unless you messed up one of your superstitions prior to Sunday, in which case it’s entirely possible this is all your fault.) I am not an analytics expert, but […]
Just the facts Know your enemy Game notes See ya tonight!
After a tightly played Game 3, where the Bruins could point to missed opportunities as the difference between a win and a loss, fans hoped to see a little more jump on offense and a little more finish in Game 4. Instead, the Bruins turned in one of the more calamitous defensive performances in recent […]
Welcome to another edition of the Public Skate, folks! The Bruins and Sabres are back at it this afternoon, fresh off of enjoying two days off after Game 3 on Thursday. The B’s should be playing with a level of desperation facing the prospect of going back to Buffalo in a 3-1 hole, but there’s […]
Just the facts Know your enemy Game notes See ya this afternoon!
The Providence Bruins had themselves a historic AHL season, and the league’s end-of-season awards are reflecting that level of success. The P-Bruins went a remarkable 56-16-2 in the 72-game regular season, finishing atop the AHL with 110 points. That record set the new high water mark for the most wins in a 72-game regular season […]
When the Bruins bounced back to win Game 2 and even this first round series, they did it by taking their opportunities on offense and limiting the self-inflicted wounds on defense. In Game 3, they seemed to revert to some of the same bad habits that plagued them down the stretch in the regular season: […]
Game 3 is upon us, folks! TD Garden should be jumping tonight, with the Bruins coming home from Buffalo with a split and playing their first home playoff game in a couple of years. The Bruins were an excellent team on home ice this season, so here’s to hoping that continues. If the B’s can […]
