🎙️ The Bruins hit the halfway point of the season with more questions than answers.

As Olympic rosters are revealed and the league barrels toward the trade deadline, Boston finds itself stuck in the middle: competitive, fragile, and still searching for clarity. We break down Bruins representation (and snubs) on the Olympic stage, what the Four Nations taught team selectors, and why not every Bruin heading overseas is necessarily a good thing.

Plus: a full Bruins game recap from the West Coast swing, penalty problems that won’t go away, special teams trends, and a hard conversation about whether Boston should buy, sell, or stand still at the deadline. A wide-ranging Bruins hockey discussion with analysis, context, and plenty of fan perspective.

🎙️ The Bruins didn’t just lose games — they lost control of them.

A six-game winless slide continues as Boston wastes strong goaltending, can’t finish chances, and repeatedly sabotages itself with undisciplined penalties. Losses to Ottawa and Montreal exposed the same cracks, while the overtime defeat against Calgary underscored a growing issue: this team struggles to close when it matters most.

We break down the disastrous third period against the Canadiens, the waved-off Elias Lindholm goal that flipped momentum, and why NHL officiating — particularly goaltender interference — continues to create chaos instead of clarity.

Plus: mental fatigue comments, accountability gaps, the Bruins’ failure to play clean five-on-five hockey, and a hard look at what’s slipping away in the standings.

🎙️Frustration boils over after the Bruins’ collapse against the Montreal Canadiens at TD Garden, and not just because of their own mistakes. What should have been a momentum-building goal late in the second period was immediately wiped out by an inexplicable goaltender interference call, a decision that was never reviewed and completely altered the course of the game.

Yes, the Bruins deserve blame for letting the wheels fall off in an embarrassing third period, taking careless penalties, and losing discipline when it mattered most. But two things can be true at once: Boston didn’t help themselves, and the NHL’s broken approach to GTI put its thumb squarely on the scale.

🎙️ The Bruins dropped a frustrating one at TD Garden as penalties, missed calls, and special teams issues overshadowed a strong 5-on-5 effort. Pavel Zacha found the back of the net on the power play, but a lost board battle and a shorthanded Connor McDavid highlight sealed Boston’s fate.

We break down the game, the chaos in the Eastern Conference standings, and look ahead to a must-win matchup against the Vancouver Canucks. Listen in to our weekly podcast for Boston Bruins news, game recaps, player analysis, and all the hot takes

🎙️The Bruins once again took the scenic route to two points — weathering a rough opening before flipping the switch and taking control. After being outplayed in the first period by the Utah Mammoth, Boston responded with a dominant second frame and never looked back, skating away with a 4–1 win at TD Garden.

Jeremy Swayman was steady and sharp when the Bruins needed him most, while Morgan Geekie continued his heater with two goals, including one just 23 seconds into the second period that completely changed the tone of the game. Goals from Casey Mittelstadt and a highlight-reel, end-to-end effort from Mikey Eyssimont sealed the deal as Boston leaned into its ability to self-correct and dictate play. 

Now the challenge ramps up. Edmonton comes to town with McDavid and Draisaitl looming, plus some familiar faces and storylines. The Bruins have been elite on home ice — and with divisional games and the holiday break ahead, setting the tone on this homestand matters. Expect fireworks Thursday night.

🎙️The Bruins hit another low point in a 5–4 loss to Detroit, playing listless, sloppy hockey for most of the night. In this Bruins game recap, we break down another night of lineup changes, bad penalties, poor starts, and shaky goaltending, including Jeremy Swayman getting pulled after the fifth goal. 

Without Pastrnak and McAvoy, the leadership gap is glaring, even with bright spots like Jonathan Aspiro’s first NHL goal and another strong night from Alex Steeves. This quick-hit episode covers the latest Bruins news, what these losses mean for Boston’s playoff outlook, and what to expect as the Bruins return home to face a struggling St. Louis team.
