Morning Skate: Central

Welcome to a new week, folks! The first week of December is behind us, and a new week awaits. Let’s have fun out there. The Bruins had themselves a decent time on Saturday night, beating the New Jersey Devils 4-1 at TD Garden. While that game came against a slumping opponent on the second night […]

PWHL Update: Fleet lead the league after three games

So, stop me if you’ve heard this before: A team after losing lots of marquis talent due to outside circumstances comes into a new professional season and stuns everybody by playing much better than most prognostication expected. I know, this is a really hard mindset for 2025 Boston hockey fans to get into, but I […]

Morning Skate: Blue

Welcome to Friday, folks! Sorry about the lack of a full recap of last night’s game — the night got away from me and then Friday morning came quickly. By now, you likely know that the Bruins beat the St. Louis Blues 5-2 on Thursday night, bouncing back from Tuesday’s loss in Detroit. Highlights from […]

Public Skate: Bruins vs. Blues

Get excited, folks: it’s Thursday night and the St. Louis Blues are coming to town! Just three more weeks until Santa Claus himself will be coming to town, but until then, we have to settle for…oh no, not Jordan Binnington! Well, maybe not, depending on whether or not Jim Montgomery wants to start him, but […]

Public Skate: Bruins vs. Red Wings, Part Deux

Fun fact: Detroit gets its name from the French word détroit, which means strait, which is a narrow body of water connecting two other bodies of water. That’s not to be confused with Streit, which is the last name of Mark Streit, a Swiss guy who used to play for the Canadiens, who play in […]

Public Skate: Atlantic

Welcome to December, folks! A new month is upon us, with November and all of its turkey trappings now firmly in the rearview mirror. Just 24 more shopping days until Christmas, for your awareness. The Bruins ended November on a high note on Saturday night, beating the Detroit Red Wings in the shootout at TD […]

Recap: Morgan Geekie ties the Red Wings, B’s win in a shootout!

JUST GIVE THE ROCKET RICHARD TO HIM NOW ALREADY First Period There was a ruckus! There was also a lot of penalty killing…But no scoring. Ultimately, that would have ‘till the middle frame. Second Period It’s a day ending in Y, and thus the B’s, deep in the Red Wings’ zone, managed to get the […]

Public Skate: Bruins vs. Red Wings

Annnnnnnnnd we’re back! Just a day after a Black Friday game that saw the home team giving away goals at deeply discounted prices, the Bruins are back at it, hosting Atlantic Division rivals Detroit at TD Garden. If anything, Detroit should be at a slight disadvantage tonight, as they also played Friday but had to […]

Public Skate: Bruins vs. Rangers

Welcome to Black Friday, folks! Hope you had a good Thanksgiving/Thursday. Sorry about the lack of official preview for today’s game, but Thanksgiving Night got away from me a bit. Here are your basics: The Rangers haven’t had the best start to the season, as they sit at the bottom of the Metropolitan Division with […]

Recap: Swayman shuts down Isles as Bruins win, 3-1

Behind 44 saves from Jeremy Swayman and the first multi-goal games of Alex Steeves’s career, the Bruins beat the Islanders, 3-1, on Long Island Wednesday night. The win gives the Bruins a season-series sweep over the Islanders. While Steeves deserves plaudits for his two goals (one of which was shorthanded), Swayman was the story in […]

Public Skate: Bruins vs. Islanders

Welcome to Thanksgiving Eve, folks! I hope you’ve hung your stockings by the chimney with care, in hopes that they’ll soon be filled with gravy, turkey, mashed potatoes, etc. I might be mixing up my holidays here, but it’s the Internet, there’s no truth anymore. Now that we’ve gotten the nihilism out of the way, […]

Morning Skate: Chomped

Monday begins, and a new week is upon us! The Bruins ended their California road trip with a loss on Sunday night, falling to the San Jose Sharks, 3-1. The B’s fell behind 2-0 with a Shark goal in each of the first two periods, but Morgan Geekie (who else) got one back midway through […]

Public Skate: Bruins vs. Sharks

Welcome to Sunday Night Hockey, folks! I’m putting this post together Saturday night, so hopefully your NFL team did OK today. If not, I’m sorry. The photo that accompanies this post is both cool and a symbol that time comes for us all. On the ice, wearing a white jersey, you’ll find none other than […]

Recap: Bruins beat Kings in OT behind two Geekie goals

With a cold New England winter on the horizon, it may behoove New England officials to see how they can tap into Morgan Geekie’s heat source to lower energy bills across the region. (That will be my platform when I run for President of New England, don’t steal it.) Geekie scored twice for the B’s […]

Public Skate: Bruins vs. Kings

Or maybe not! Time will tell. The magic of live sports. Anyways, it’s the Bruins vs. the Kings tonight at the […]

RECAP: B’s can’t complete comeback against Anaheim

Welp. 1st Period Things started bad. Things started very, very bad. Starting the game down 2-0 after about 7 minutes of gametime is not how you want your night to go. Thankfully, the Boston Bruins have a golden scoring force in Morgan Geekie, who said his Rocket Richard campaign is BACK ON! After 20? The […]
