Bruins vs. Panthers
Quietly and without Aleksander Barkov and Brad Marchand, the Florida Panthers have worked their way into a playoff spot, albeit the second wild card in the NHL’s Eastern Conference. Both players are with the team but not yet ready for action. Coach Paul Maurice told media that their participation in morning skates will accelerate their…
Bruins vs. VGK: a 60-minute script
The Boston Bruins pulled out an undeserved victory over the Chicago Blackhawks on Saturday, and every good team needs to have a few of those over the course of an 84-game season. The forgiveness for their chronic slow starts and recent chaos in transition comes to an end. This win they will have to earn…
Bruins reset vs. Chicago
In his scheduled pregame meeting with the media, Boston Bruins Coach Marco Sturm referenced his team’s disappointing showing in Thursday’s 4-1 loss at St. Louis (which caused Friday’s scheduled day off to become a practice), and his message was basic as in back to basics. Defense, checking (including the forecheck) and “identity” were key words.…
Bruins vs. Sharks
Mike Grier’s programs to accelerate the San Jose Sharks’ climb back to Stanley Cup contention hasn’t seen the actualization intended, Darnell Nurse, the Sharks’ big acquisition of 2026, has yet to begin adding the offense that he had as a decade-long Edmonton Oiler. Yaroslav Askarov, 24, has gotten seven of the team’s 11 starts but…
Bruins-Flyers
Why is a team that made the playoffs last season off to an 0-3-2 start? Today’s matinee in which the Boston Bruins are hosting the Philadelphia Flyers should provide some clues, regardless of the outcome. Every generation of living Bruins fans knows Saturday matinees tend to bring out the worst in the home team, and…
Bruins – Mammoth:
So far it’s been a simple matter of Jeremy Swayman’s superb goaltending in a matchup against Utah’s backup keeper Sebastian Cossa. Cossa has size (6-foot-6), but he couldn’t get in the way of Casey Mittelstadt’s first goal of the season that came midway through the first period, only a couple of shifts after Swayman denied…
Bruins face a Mammoth question
The Pavel Zacha question won’t go away, and there are two ways to look at it: One is a problem, the other an opportunity. It could be in this era of the National Hockey League’s sharply rising salary cap that the die is cast. Reports are circulating that the 29-year-old Boston Bruins center, whose $4.75…
Bruins-Rangers: Swayman Paves Way for Late Heroics
David Pastrnak debuted his new “C” on “B” sweater during the pregame warmup for tonight’s season opener against the New York Rangers, following starter Jeremy Swayman onto the TD Garden ice. With Charlie McAvoy serving the first of six games on NHL suspension for retaliating after a slewfoot, Tanner Jeannot joins Hampus Lindholm as the…
Bruins Cook with Pasta
The Boston Bruins became David Pastrnak’s team on March 7, 2025, the day Brad Marchand was traded to the Florida Panthers. It just took a year and a half for it to become official. Pastrnak’s appointment as the 28th captain in franchise history comes with the feeling that – all due respect to top defenseman…
Bruins vs. Flyers Part 1: Brunet, Locmelis Look The Part
Former Bruins’ goaltending prospect Dan Vladar left tonight’s game early, yielding the net to Aleksei Kolosov, who has been good when needed. The Bruins have gotten a solid preseason debut from Jeremy Swayman, who has only surrendered a late, first-period goal to Jacob Gaucher as Boston and Philadelphia took a 1-1 into the third period.…
