This article was originally written in October, 2015. TD Garden, home of the Boston Bruins, has only been open for a few decades. But in that time, it’s seen countless unforgettable moments. Playing host to the Bruins, Celtics, the Beanpot, Hockey East championships, figure skating, concerts, professional wrestling, and even box lacrosse has given plenty […]

With the NHL regular season officially complete, there are a number of things to look forward to as hockey fans eagerly prepare for the return of the game.

Ongoing discussions about how to finish the 2019-20 NHL season appear to be making progress this week with various reports that the NHL and NHL Players’ Association (NHLPA) are devising an unprecedented 24-team playoff format. While the timeline to close out the season remains undecided, the playoff format being discussed would create a postseason unlike […]

Over the last couple of seasons, the Boston Bruins have been blessed with excellent backup goaltending. Jaroslav Halak, who signed with the club ahead of last season, has played his role very well behind Tuukka Rask. Halak’s .922 save percentage (SV%) last season was his best since the 2011-12 season. He did this with a […]

One of the biggest storylines for the Boston Bruins this season is taking place off the ice. Instead, it’s progressing at the negotiating table, as Bruins management and Torey Krug decide whether they have a future together. Krug has made it clear that he loves wearing black and gold. He stated as much earlier this […]

The rapid spread of COVID-19 and its effect on daily life has been difficult, including on sports. Hockey fans were just weeks away from the best postseason sports has to offer – the Stanley Cup Playoffs – before the NHL suspended its season. Many fans are doing their best to look forward to the future, […]

This offseason will be a defining one for the Boston Bruins. Discussions about Torey Krug’s contract talks have already hit the news, but beyond Krug, the Bruins have a lot more decisions to make. Jaroslav Halak, Kevan Miller, Zdeno Chara, and Joakim Nordstrom join Krug as unrestricted free agents. Matt Grzelcyk, Anders Bjork, Karson Kuhlman, […]

Another trade deadline has come and passed with all of the late-February drama that we’ve come to expect from the modern NHL. Despite rumors of a move for a definitive top-six forward, the Boston Bruins played it safer at the trade deadline, opting to free up some cap space while making two notable moves to […]

The deep defensive core of the Boston Bruins has helped to propel last year’s Stanley Cup runners-up back into serious Cup contention as the trade deadline approaches. The Bruins, who currently sit at the top of the NHL standings, have given up an NHL-best 145 goals against, largely as a result of their effective blue […]

When David Backes signed a five-year, $30 million dollar deal with the Boston Bruins in 2016, many people were left scratching their heads. At the time, the 32-year-old former St. Louis Blues captain was coming off his lowest goal-scoring season since 2009-10 but was impressive in the playoffs the season before. More important to the […]

Anders Bjork has been a bright spot for the Boston Bruins this season. In his first full NHL season, Bjork if finally clear (knock on wood) of the injuries that have nagged him for the past two seasons, and his quality of play has reflected a level of growth that the Bruins should be excited […]

The Boston Bruins are in a precarious position. With a six-point lead in the Atlantic Division and the second-best record in the National Hockey League, a quick glance at the standings would indicate smooth sailing for last year’s Stanley Cup runners-up. But a deeper look at the Bruins of late reveals issues – potentially serious […]

The end of December brings great things.

The all-teenager tournament has become a holiday season staple for hockey fans eager to get a […]

June 24, 2006, was one of the most important days in recent memory for the Boston Bruins. It marked the 2006 NHL Entry Draft, a day that would lay the groundwork for a much-needed turnaround in the organization. That draft day landed the Bruins some of their most important talent for their Stanley Cup contender […]

When you’re describing the 2017-18 Boston Bruins, what word comes to mind? You could use many descriptors to summarize last season’s Bruins campaign, but one that stands out to me is “budding.” Under a head coach taking on his first full NHL season, a rejuvenated Bruins roster budding with fresh young talent exceeded expectations in the Eastern Conference. The […]
