Telling observation in the early going of tonight’s Oilers-Bruins game from Matt Vautour of Mass Live. Vautour noted that the sight of Connor McDavid on TD Garden ice served a reminder of what it was like to have the 4 Nations Tournament in this building last winter. McDavid, of course, scored the winning goal ofContinue reading “Oilers at Bruins”

Bruins vs. Mammoth
The Boston Bruins are back home after a 2-1 road trip that ended Sunday with a predictably loss to the Minnesota Wild, who were debuting fresh acquisition Quinn Hughes after a blockbuster trade with the Vancouver Canucks. The banged-up Bruins, meanwhile, made a waiver-wire pickup of 24-year-old. left-shot defenseman Vladislav Kolyachonok, who is not inContinue reading “Bruins vs. Mammoth”
Join Joe Bertagna on Tuesday, Dec. 16, to support the Sports Museum
The great Joe Bertagna, a man of many talents, is still busy and producing wonderful contributions to Boston’s and New England’s sporting culture. In addition to having been a great goaltender, goalie coach, Hockey East and ECAC commissioner and book author, it turns out Mr. Bertagna is a needlepoint artist. The work he has doneContinue reading “Join Joe Bertagna on Tuesday, Dec. 16, to support the Sports Museum”
Devils at Bruins
It’s a big game tonight not only because they’re all big but because the Bruins are about to go on a three-game road trip, and it would be beneficial morally to win two in a row, something the Bruins have not accomplished since sweeping the home-and-home with Toronto on Nov. 11. It’s been an especiallyContinue reading “Devils at Bruins”
Blues at Bruins
It’ll be Jordan Binnington against Joonas Korpisalo tonight on TD Garden ice, all 200×85 feet of it, as the St. Louis Blues visit the Boston Bruins tonight. Extraordinary goaltending, a component of some outstanding records posted by the Bruins in recent years, has been essential to wins over two segments of the 2025-26 season, includingContinue reading “Blues at Bruins”
Black & Gold Friday: Rangers at Bruins
This is not the stinker the Edmonton Oilers played at home upon their return from a 3-out-4-point finish to their road trip last week in Florida. If there is any too-much-turkey in the Bruins today after falling behind 2-0 to the Rangers in the first period of the annual Black Friday matinee, then it’s aContinue reading “Black & Gold Friday: Rangers at Bruins”
Bruins need to make the right deal
When asked about their favorite game atmospheres, National Hockey League players usually mention the Bell Centre, but it’s become the house of horrors for Charlie McAvoy. If Boston Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney is on the phone this week, he’s trying to identify an available, experienced, right-shot defenseman he can acquire and not only toContinue reading “Bruins need to make the right deal”
Canes at Bruins
Roster changes were made in advance of tonight’s game between the Boston Bruins and the Carolina Hurricanes. While local media awaited word on the status of defenseman Charlie McAvoy (who took a puck to the jaw, knocking him out of Saturday night’s win in Montreal – it’s still a waiting game), GM Don Sweeney announcedContinue reading “Canes at Bruins”
Sens at Bruins
The Boston Bruins certainly owe a shellacking to the Ottawa Senators after the embarrassing L stuck on them by the home team that incidentally led to this winning streak that the Bruins are now on. It’s also weird that Brady Tkachuk was not part of that debacle on Oct. 27 and won’t be part ofContinue reading “Sens at Bruins”
Canes at Bruins
Under coach Rod Brind’Amour, the Carolina Hurricanes have been playing a man-to-man defense for defensive-zone coverage for several years so, while most of the chatter around the Boston Bruins has focused on goaltending, the story today is the Bruins’ comparative struggles to pick up the new system installed by coach Marco Sturm and live upContinue reading “Canes at Bruins”
