🎙️ The Boston Bruins have been known for their incredible penalty kill for years - until this last season when it suddenly dried up. With the departure of captain Brad Marchand as well as the recent retirements of Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci, this team no longer looks like it once did. Can they reclaim their spot atop the PK pole? Or will it take much longer to figure this problem out? Join us for our final segment with professor Moe and read about his philosophies more here!

🎙️ Moe joins us again to share his doctrine of defense - what makes ideal defensive pairings, what the Bruins have to work with in the offseason, and how they need to build back better and return the team to it's strong defensive identity.

🎙️ What is the philosophy behind NHL forward lines—and does Boston even have one right now? We dive into the long-standing roles of the top 3 lines (sorry, fourth line), what each line is supposed to do, and how past Bruins teams executed this balance to near perfection. Then we look at the current roster and ask: who’s actually filling these roles—and who’s leaving a gaping hole in the lineup? This episode is one part hockey theory, one part forensic analysis, and a whole lot of wishful thinking that Don Sweeney understands any of it.

🎙️ The Bruins management press conference on Wednesday morning was worse than we expected. In an unexpected turn of events, the Boston media did not kowtow to the Bruins leadership and, instead, asked some tough questions - including "why are Don and Cam still here" and "will you rescind the 4% increase in ticket prices"? Charlie Jacobs shows us that he is not actually in charge and is so out of touch that he is the embarrassment, not this team. Cam flexed his iron grip on Boston and Don came away sounding relatively competent. One thing is for certain, these three adults do not understand the definition of accountability.

🎙️ The season is officially over and we have chosen the cause of death for the 2024-2025 Bruins season: inconsistency. A final loss in overtime against the New Jersey Devils reminded us all of every game we've seen over the season - the highs and lows of this team all packed into a 65 minute game. The players shared some tidbits about their season and our opinion of Nikita Zadorov has changed - for the better. Will Pastrnak be our next captain? How much will management stiff Morgan Geekie? And does Charlie Jacobs thing we are all idiots?

🎙️ We've finally made it to the end of the season and it's been one rollercoaster of a ride. It only took about 75 games for the intended top line to finally click, and we can only hope that the chemistry between Pasta, Lindholm, and Geekie survives the summer.

🎙️ It was awards night for the team last night and, no surprise, David Pastrnak won the number 1 star for best player on the team. Geekie was awarded the third star; to the surprise of many, Swayman walked away with the number 2 star. So much good that did him, getting clobbered by three former Bruins in a loss against Chicago. Don Sweeney spoke to Judd and Brick during the game and actually criticized the team for lacking a shot-first mentality - which actively flies in the face of the company line from the last two seasons. Whatever happened to 'Quality over Quantity', Don?

🎙️ We may not have much faith in team management to make the right decisions this summer, but as long as Cam and Don don't screw it all up, we could be looking at a very bright future with Elias Lindholm, David Pastrnak, and Morgan Geekie at the helm. David Pastrnak has had a career season - made even more impressive by the fact that he didn't really get going until January, was down 2 defensemen, had half his team traded, and had a totally ineffective powerplay unit. Morgan Geekie was the first beneficiary of Pasta's re-awakening and since the trade deadline, Elias Lindholm has been partnering up with Pasta and Geeks and has seen a recent rejuvenation in his play as well. And don't worry folks, Morgan Geekie is a Restricted Free Agent, so he isn't walking this summer.
