  • What is a Powerplay Goal? - April 14th, 2022

    We're back! The Bruins stay consistent and lose on the night we record, lose another player to injury, and still cannot score on the Powerplay. They are just 1 for 24 on the man advantage in the month of April (6 GP). We spend the majority of the episode discussing the bruins recent struggles. Where do they go from here? Were there some misses at the deadline? Can the Bruins just start wrapping everyone in bubble wrap? We discuss Torey Krug's return to Boston, take listener questions, and much more!

  • Erik Haula for MVP? - April 6th, 2022

    We're back! Yet again, despite winning every other game, the Bruins lose on the night we record... Alex apologizes, as it is totally his fault. Frederic, Pastrnak, and Lindholm all go down with injuries ahead of Friday night's tilt against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Will Pasta and Lindholm be ready for that game? Should Pastrnak be rested as the bruins are comfortably in a playoff spot? We also discuss the play of Jeremy Swayman who, despite winning 7 of 10 games since March 1st, has a sub .900 Sv% in that span. Should we be concerned about the Bruins goaltending? We wrap up the episode with our World Series predictions + listener questions!

  • What on Earth was THAT? - March 29th, 2022

    We're back! On Monday, it was announced that Ottawa Senators owner Eugene Melnyk had passed away. RIP Eugene Melnyk. We discuss his impact on the Ottawa community. We then transition to the best hockey team in Boston... the Boston Pride who won the PHF'S Isobel Cup for the second consecutive year! The Bruins played the Maple Leafs on Tuesday night.. and well... it did not go as planned. Tune in as we break down the Bruins' last three games with a focus on the mess we just witnessed against the Maple Leafs. What do the Bruins do with the bottom Defense pairing? What is wrong with Brandon Carlo? NHL refs??? We wrap up the episode by taking a peek at the Bruins' upcoming schedule and the Eastern Conference standings, along with listener questions!

  • Trade Deadline! - March 22nd, 2022

    We're back! Hampus Lindholm is a Bruin, and for 8 additional years! Tune in as we break down the trade that sends the 28 year old defenseman to the Bruins, where he fits on the team, as well as the other important trades around the NHL! Did the Bruins shoot themselves in the foot not trading for scoring help, or even a depth forward? We discuss and dive into the chaos that will ultimately be the Eastern Conference, as 8 of the top 10 teams in the league come from the East. Every Atlantic team got better at the deadline, setting up for an interesting race for seeding. The NHL Playoffs are just around the corner.

  • The Trade Deadline is Upon Us - March 16th, 2022

    We're back! The NHL trade deadline is just 5 days away, and some trades are already going down! We break down the 3 trades made in the NHL on Wednesday and discuss what options are realistically available for the Bruins as the deadline looms. Will Jacob Chychrun be a Bruin? Should the Bruins make a bigger splash at forward or defense? Tune in to find out what we think! We also break down the Bruins' last four games and look ahead at the B's upcoming schedule.

  • Depth Scoring in 2022? - March 7th, 2022

    We're back! The Bruins have their depth scoring FINALLY show up, as they have won 7 of their last 10 games, and went 4-1-1 on their 6 game road trip. They return home to choke away a lead against the Kings... but we focus on the positives. Jake DeBrusk looks like 2019 DeBrusk, Craig Smith is scoring again, and Trent Frederic is looking like a real hockey player. Patrice Bergeron is having the best defensive season of his career, should unanimously win the Selke, and Jeremy Swayman is making a push for the Calder. 11-13-12 has become a formidable third line. What does this mean for the  ̶l̶e̶a̶f̶s̶? Bruins deadline plans? We take a look at the TSN trade bait list, as well as CapFriendly, to see what may be in the cards for the impending deadline.

  • Perception vs. Reality - February 19th, 2022

    We are back! The Bruins have been playing without Bergeron and Marchand for much of the last week and a half... and it shows! We choose to disregard that and take a deep dive into the highly controversial players on the Bruins this season, compare their advanced stats against the eye test and put them to the test. We continue on to discuss and laugh at more CapFriendly armchair GM trades- from both deadline approaches of buying and selling. We look at the Bruins' seemingly inevitable path to the playoffs and the harsh truths of the 2021-22 Boston Bruins.

  • Thank You, Tuukka Rask - February 10th, 2022

    We are back! Tuukka Rask retires from professional hockey after his comeback attempt suffers a setback. Tuukka is the best goalie the Bruins have ever had. Full stop. With that, the Bruins are in full-on chaos mode right now. After news of Tuukka's potential retirement was leaked, the Bruins blew a 2-0 lead to Danton Heinen, (I mean the Penguins), Patrice Bergeron suffered a head injury, and Brad Marchand punched and high stuck Tristan Jarry to earn a 6 game suspension. We discuss all of the bad, and some of the good. We take a look back at Tuukka's remarkable, HHOF worthy career as well as the NHL Department of Player Safety once again proving their incompetence when it comes to setting a standard.

  • Goaltending, Goals & Boarding Galore - January 24th, 2022

    We're back! Just like last week, the bruins play awful on the night we record! Tuukka Rask struggles to make saves as the Bruins drop a tough one to Anaheim. What is up with Tuukka Rask?  Is he just starting slow like he usually does, or is this a sign of things to come? Brad Marchand has quite the week, as he chirps Vincent Trocheck & the Hurricanes, makes a fan's day with a great video after warmups, and overall just continues to shine as the best winger in the league! Garnet Hathaway thanks him for his service to grow the game with a nasty board that knocked Marchand from the game. Boarding would become a theme as Grzelcyk was on the wrong end of a board from Dubois against Winnipeg, and Steen ended the trend with a nasty board against the Ducks tonight. If you can imagine, the referees made a bad call on all three! We then wrap the episode up with the latest in the NFL, and take your listener questions!

  • Rocked by a Hurricane - January 18th, 2022

    We are back... and boy did the Bruins get demolished by the Hurricanes! But we choose to focus on the brighter things like Willie O'Ree's beautiful jersey retirement ceremony, and much more! We also touch on the good games from the past week, including Pastrnak and Marchand earning Hat tricks, Tuukka Rask returning to NHL game action, and updated NHL COVID protocols. We wrap up the episode taking listener questions and catching up on everyone's favourites, David Krejci and Ryan Spooner!
