Photo by Christian Petersen/Getty Images In more ways than one. It is Wednesday, my dudes. It was not the best of Tuesdays for your Boston Bruins, as the B’s dropped a 4-3 OT decision to the Coyotes in Arizona and lost goalie Linus Ullmark to injury in the process. Ullmark reached high above his head …
Brad Penner-USA TODAY Sports What’s behind the name “Giolito” and what can he mean for our team and city? I’ll admit right now that as someone with a background in language and fine arts, I am a words-and-pictures nerd. In an earlier era, I taught art and art history in Italy and developed enough language …
Photo by Fred Kfoury III/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Juuuuust a bit outside. It is Wednesday, my dudes. You kind of knew as soon as that Jake DeBrusk shot missed the net that the game was over, right? It seems like any time there’s a missed shot (like off the glass and bouncing around, not …
Photo By Winslow Townson/Getty Images Standings, etc. Monday is here folks, and a new week is upon us. It’s the last week before Christmas, meaning for many, it’ll be one of those “full work weeks” in name only as we trickle toward the holiday. If you work in a retail setting, however, godspeed as you …
Photo by Kavin Mistry/NHLI via Getty Images A little sunshine, perhaps. It is Wednesday, my dudes. The Bruins are in San Jose, where the forecast highs for Wednesday and Thursday are 92 and 96 degrees (Fahrenheit), respectively. Unsurprisingly, the forecast calls for plenty of sunshine on those days as well. My point with this weather …
Photo by Suzanne Kreiter/The Boston Globe via Getty Images Centennial celebrations, baby. Welcome to a new week, folks! August is humming right along, bringing us ever closer to the start of hockey season. The Bruins got their two biggest pieces of offseason news (Patrice Bergeron’s and David Krejci’s retirements) out of the way already and …
Photo by John Tlumacki/The Boston Globe via Getty Images I’m not sure how you say that in Czech. It is Wednesday, my dudes. The David Krejci news we all expected finally came this week, with the Czechia assist wizard announcing his retirement from the NHL. (It’s worth noting that Krejci isn’t necessarily retiring from hockey, …
Photo by Jamie Squire/Getty Images/NHLI Some really bad ones. Welcome to Monday, folks! Another week begins. Happy belated Mother’s Day to all of the moms out there as well. This weekend saw a truly sad event, as the Toronto Maple Leafs were eliminated from the postseason, losing in OT to the Panthers (too soon). We’ve …
Photo by Maddie Meyer/Getty Images For individuals, that is. Happy Friday, folks! We’ve got 80+ degrees in the forecast for the Boston area, meaning it is officially playoff hockey weath…never mind. While the Bruins on-ice time is done, they continue to reap the benefits of their outstanding regular season, with two more individual award finalists: …
Photo by Erica Denhoff/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images A lot of them. It is Wednesday, my dudes. Hopefully you’re having a decent week thus far. The Bruins held what is likely their last 2023 post-mortem yesterday, with Don Sweeney, Cam Neely, Jim Montgomery, and Charlie Jacobs addressing the media. It went about how you’d expect: …
Photo by Maddie Meyer/Getty Images Double yikes, even. There are some games where bounces don’t go your way, when it seems like it’s not your night, etc. Last night was not one of those games for the Bruins, who only have themselves to blame after falling flat in a 6-3 Game 2 loss. The B’s …
Photo by Fred Kfoury III/Icon Sportswire via Getty Images Hopefully. Happy Friday, folks! And Happy early Easter to those who will be observing this weekend. A stomach-bugged David Pastrnak gave the Bruins a 2-1 OT win over Toronto last night, with Pastrnak carelessly giving the puck away right into the Leafs’ net. When will he …
Photo by Jaylynn Nash/Getty Images A good one. Welcome to another week, folks! While we didn’t have a recap for you, by now I’m sure you’re caught up on the Bruins’ 4-3 shootout win over Carolina in Raleigh yesterday. It was a good weekend for the B’s, who beat two contenders in back-to-back games, the …
Photo by Rich Gagnon/Getty Images Not quite for Swayman. Happy Friday, folks! Believe it or not, we have reached the second-last Friday in March — April is right around the corner, and we all know that April means playoffs. While it wasn’t quite a playoff atmosphere, last night’s Bruins win over Montreal did have a …
Photo by Brian Fluharty/Getty Images My, how things change. It is Wednesday, my dudes. Last time it was Wednesday, my dudes, the Bruins were coming off of their second loss in a row, a 6-3 flop against the Chicago Blackhawks. Was the team tired? Had they peaked too early? Was this the beginning of the …
Photo by Darcy Finley/NHLI via Getty Images much better. Happy Friday, folks! And Happy St. Patrick’s Day for those who observe. Please don’t drink and drive. Walk, call a cab, take an Uber, etc. Be responsible. The Bruins rebounded nicely from the Chicago debacle, leaving Winnipeg with a tidy 3-0 win last night. It wasn’t …
Photo by John Tlumacki/The Boston Globe via Getty Images Can’t win ‘em all. Happy Friday, folks! We’ve got sunshine and decent temperatures in Boston today, so hopefully that eases some of the sting of a rare regulation loss last night. (If your weather is poor elsewhere, I apologize.) Last night’s loss was frustrating for a …
Photo by Derek Leung/Getty Images W-W-W-W. It is Wednesday, my dudes. Last night sure was something, eh? Watching that game, you got the feeling it was only a matter of time before Calgary took the lead. Once that happened, my feeling was “oh well, scheduled loss and still a great road trip.” Then…yeah. You know …
Photo by Maddie Meyer/Getty Images Quite an evening. Monday is upon us, folks! Hopefully the New England winter storm didn’t hit you too hard overnight. Seems like we’re well overdue for a big snowstorm in the Boston area, but now that I’ve said that, I’m sure one will pop into the forecast sometime in the …
Photo by Bruce Bennett/Getty Images Not this time. Happy Friday, folks! I regret to inform you that the Bruins decided once again last night that they simply weren’t interested in a so-called “scheduled loss,” instead winning a game in New York for the second time in 24 hours. It seems like this is the 3rd …
Winslow Townson-USA TODAY Sports Is it even possible anymore? Happy Friday, folks! It’s just about the weekend before American Thanksgiving, so if you’re American, hang in there — weekend, then short week. The Bruins extended their home unbeaten run to ten games to start the season last night, beating the Philadelphia Flyers, 4-1. Last night …
Timothy T. Ludwig-USA TODAY Sports Served last night in Buffalo. Happy Friday, folks! The Bruins sent you into the weekend in a good mood with a 3-1 win over Calgary last night, extending their home unbeaten run to franchise-record levels. It was a weird game in that the Bruins didn’t record their first shot on …
Photo by Ben Jackson/NHLI via Getty Images Some news on the injured. Happy Friday, folks! The Bruins had themselves a decent New York time last night, pulling away from the Rangers in the latter portion of the game to earn a 5-2 win. Seven wins in a row! Not bad. To make things even more …
Jerry Lai-USA TODAY Sports Logos unveiled. Are you still buzzing after last night’s chaos? It’s OK, no one can blame you. Overshadowed by the night’s on-ice events, the Bruins and Penguins made big announcements prior to the game too: both teams unveiled their logos for the 2023 Winter Classic. First, the good guys: Bears are …
