Line Changes with Alex & Brad

Well... we're back. Tune in as we discuss the tragic deaths of Johnny & Matty Gaudreau, who were tragically murdered by a drunk driver in New Jersey a couple of weeks ago. Do not drink and drive. Call a friend, uber, ANYTHING. We then make the difficult transition to talk about Jeremy Swayman's contract situation and Brad Marchand undergoing 3 offseason surgeries. Are we at all worried about Swayman not having been signed yet? Any worries about Marchand heading into his 16th season? We also talk about Torey Krug's unfortunate injury that is going to keep him out all season, and Leon Draisaitl getting a huge extension. We wrap up the episode talking baseball, Bowden Francis, and the first week of the NFL season.

We're back! The Bruins made some big splashes on the first day of Free Agency, locking up Elias Lindholm and Nikita Zadorov. They essentially swap players with the Canucks as DeBrusk, Heinen, and Forbort sign with the Canucks. It is going to be BIZARRE to see Jake DeBrusk in another jersey after being a Bruin for 7 seasons. The Bruins also signed Max Jones, leaving them with just under $8M as negotiations with Swayman are ongoing. We give our thoughts on how the Bruins are constructed as of July 1st. Can Lysell make the jump? We then pivot to NHL-wide talk as a plethora of big-time moves were made on the opening day (or days leading up to) Free Agency,

We're back... and Linus Ullmark is an Ottawa Senator. In return, the Bruins get a first-round pick and the worst statistical goalie from the 2023-24 season- Joonas Korpisalo (at 25% retained), who is signed for four seasons at $3M, and gritty forward Mark Kastelic. We give our reactions to what was a very disappointing trade. Oh yeah, the Florida Panthers won the Cup. Wow, it was brutal to watch Ryan Lomberg lift the Stanley Cup. We then move on to give our outlook on the Draft and Free Agency, and we create our own CapFriendly armchair-GM's as the site is set to close after being purchased by the Capitals. #SignCrosby2K25

The Stanley Cup Final is here.... and we couldn't feel more "meh" about it. We briefly talk about the cup final before turning our focus to the Bruins, and more specifically, Don Sweeney. Should this be his last chance? We take a look back at some prior free agency and draft decisions as Don Sweeney gets set to have more than $20M in cap space. We give our thoughts on the state of the Bruins before the craziness of the offseason gets underway. We then do a quick CapFriendly armchair GM, and pick random obscure Bruins' from the years prior.

We're back... and the Bruins have been eliminated from the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs. We give our takes on the series, and the B's centennial season as a whole. This one feels different, and not in a bad way. The B's overachieved and had a great season -- even advancing in the playoffs, which they hadn't done since 2021. For the first time in seemingly forever, they have flexibility with cap space, and are primed for what could be an interesting offseason. Jeremy Swayman proved he's that guy, Mason Lohrei gained important experience, and Jake DeBrusk proved he deserves an extension with the B's. It's weird to feel optimistic after a playoff loss, but here we are. Thank you for listening to another season of us rambling about the Bruins!

The Bruins are down 3-1. It's much deserved as the Bruins have been thoroughly outplayed..... but the referees still find a way to insert themselves. Sam Bennett sucker punches Brad Marchand, knocking him out of games 3 and 4. No penalty, no suspension, and no fine, but a new camera angle appeared two days later, confirming what we already knew. Then in game 4, it is legal to Crosscheck Charlie Coyle into Jeremy Swayman, and score the game-tying goal moments later. The Bruins deserve to be in this hole, but the referees could not be any more clueless. The series shifts back to Florida where the end of the season appears to be fast approaching.

We're back! The Bruins split the first two games in Florida, and head back to Boston looking to regroup after a poor showing in Game 2. The Bruins started the series with a great Game 1 win where they got goals from some unexpected names. But... in Game 2, the Bruins only have 15 shots on goal, Jeremy Swayman is left out to dry as no defenseman wanted to play defense, David Pastrnak fights Matthew Tkachuk, Brandon Montour celebrates a 6-1 goal in Brad Marchand's face, and we are all tied up at fun-to-fun!

We're back! The Bruins, despite blowing a 3-1 stranglehold, manage to mulch the Leafs in game 7 at TD Garden again. Tune in as we give our fresh reaction to game 7, Pastrnak's OT heroics and the overall stress sports create. We recap what an out-of-this-world series was for Jeremy Swayman, Mason Lohrei stepping up nicely, and David Pastrnak coming through when it matters most. We then briefly look ahead to the rematch against Florida, and the challenge that the Panthers present as the series is set to get underway Monday Night in Florida.

We're back! The B's split the first two games of the series as the series shifts back to Toronto. Bradley recounts his trip to Boston for game 1, as the Bruins and the 4th line make their presence felt early in game 1, and then have quite the bad game in game 2. We discuss the goaltending decisions, Peeke's injury, and more! We touch on DeBrusk's excellence so far, Max Domi doing Max Domi things and talk about the play of Brad Marchand. We wrap up the episode talking lineup decisions as we look ahead to games 3 and 4!

We're back! Yeah... this was inevitable... The Bruins are set to take on the Leafs in round 1 of the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs! Tune in as we recap the end of the season, discuss the B's injury updates and preview another highly anticipated playoff matchup! Who has the advantage, and where? We then go through each playoff series and give our thoughts and predictions as the action gets underway Saturday night! We also discuss the Coyotes becoming an "inactive" franchise and the assets of the Coyotes moving to Salt Lake City, Jeremy Lauzon setting an NHL record for hits in a season, and the sports world continues to embarrass themselves as Logan Mailloux suits up for Montreal after facing no real consequences.
