Public Skate: Bruins vs. Kraken

Happy Thursday! The Bruins will look for a better outcome tonight than the last time they saw the Kraken. They’ve got some momentum until their belt with this latest win streak and maybe having some important alumni in the building will also help the cause! Make sure to tune in early as Zdeno Chara’s No. […]

Public Skate: Bruins vs. Red Wings

The Boston Bruins are set to face off against the Detroit Red Wings tonight and look to keep momentum going from this weekend’s wins! It will no doubt be a tough test for the B’s with Detroit continuing to be the best in the Atlantic. But the Bruins will hope that catching them on the […]

Welcome to a new week, folks! Hopefully you had yourselves a productive, post-holiday-haze week last week, as now we just have…January. Always a nice time to live in this part of the world.

Fresh off of dropping 10 goals on the New York Rangers, the Bruins are right back on TD Garden ice this evening to host the Pittsburgh Penguins. Some basics: *I haven’t been able to find official confirmation of the radio broadcast, but considering the Patriots game starts at 8 and they’re broadcast on 98.5 The […]

Bruins RECAP: Bruins drop 10 on Rangers!

Hell fucking YES they dropped 10 on New York! There are so many goals in this game and there’s a back-to-back that I decided to just give you the highlights of all of them. Enjoy. After the Rangers scored their first goal… …The Boston Bruins put belt to ass for 60 straight minutes. 10-2 Bruins […]

Public Skate: Bruins vs. Rangers

Welcome to the weekend, folks! The Bruins will host the New York Rangers at TD Garden in an early afternoon game, making it one of those times where a standalone preview doesn’t make a ton of sense. Instead, you get: the Public Preview! Preview Skate? Either way, it’s a two-for-one deal. The Rangers come into […]

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 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 […]

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.

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 […]
