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 […]

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 […]

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 […]

After the Bruins melted down in the last eight minutes of Game 1, Marco Sturm and several of the players cited a desire to learn from the experience and move forward for Game 2. Tonight’s last seven minutes showed they learned a thing or two—but not quite enough to avoid nearly giving their fans a […]
Happy Tuesday, folks! If you ran the Boston Marathon on Monday, hopefully you’re feeling relatively normal today. My brother beat Zdeno Chara’s time, which means now my family must challenge him for the hardest shot title as well. If you’ll excuse me, I’ll be working on shooting a puck, say, 30 MPH first. Anyways, the […]

For a while, things were looking pretty good for the Bruins in Game 1. Weather the storm early? Check. Get the first goal? Check. Hold on for dear life but eventually extend the lead? Check. Then it all fell apart in a span of just under five minutes in the third period, as the B’s […]
The playoffs are officially here, folks! Well, technically they started yesterday elsewhere in the NHL, but for our purposes, today’s the day. The Celtics kicked off their postseason at TD Garden earlier today, and hopefully that game went well—I’m putting this together on Saturday, so I hope the future is nice. Anyways, all of the […]
