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.

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.

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 […]

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, […]

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.

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 […]

Morning Skate: Starry

Sometimes the best player in world is just the best player in the world, eh? While not quite a one-man show, Connor McDavid lifted the Oilers to a 3-1 win at TD Garden last night, helping Edmonton improve to six wins in their last eight games. McDavid assisted on Edmonton’s first goal, then added a […]

Public Skate: Bruins vs. Oilers

Another night of hockey is upon us, folks! We don’t see Edmonton too often around these parts, and it’s always a treat to get to watch elite talent like Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl. Bruins defenders/goalies may feel differently, but it can’t be about them all of the time, right? One week to go until […]

Public Skate: Bruins vs. Mammoth

It’s not every game that we get a true clash of the titans. Sometimes we’re stuck with “Bruins vs. article of clothing” or “Bruins vs. weather phenomenon” or “Bruins vs. type of music.” Tonight, however, is one of those clashes: large bears vs. large kind-of elephants. Who will emerge victorious? Time will tell, I guess. […]
