B’s playoff opponent update: Who will Boston play in the first round?

B’s playoff opponent update: Who will Boston play in the first round?

Photo by Fred Kfoury III/Icon Sportswire via We’re about to that point where we need to start thinking about post-season hockey, and we gotta see how the competition is doing. The Bruins may have been struggling recently, but their playoff position has realistically only one challenger this year thanks to a stout goaltending pair and some truly exceptional work by some of the team’s main forwards. Yes, we’re finally to that point in the year where we start thinking of who the dance partner of the Bruins will be once the postseason begins. Which of course means,...

Women’s Recap: Neutral ice, sweet neutral ice. Boston escapes Detroit beating Ottawa 2-1 in a shootout.

Women’s Recap: Neutral ice, sweet neutral ice. Boston escapes Detroit beating Ottawa 2-1 in a shootout.

Photo by Minas Panagiotakis/ In a game they couldn’t lose, they didn’t even if they only took one point extra over Ottawa. Another close call, this time it went the way of Boston. In front of a record setting American crowd with Boston technically being the home team, Boston scored first but couldn’t hold on to a regulation victory. Instead both teams had opportunities in the overtime but were left off the books forcing a shootout. Game Notes The extra point puts Boston back ahead of Ottawa into 4th place, the last playoff spot. Both teams forced the goalies to...

Recap: Bruins edge out Flyers, 6-5, after rollercoaster third period

Photo by Brian Fluharty/ A seven-goal period had all types of momentum swings. The Boston Bruins defeated the Philadelphia Flyers after a wild third period which saw the team leading by three and holding onto a one-goal lead by the grit of their teeth twice. “We have to learn you have to close out games,” Jim Montgomery said. “You can’t think it’s over. The other teams are desperate. Charlie Coyle netted two goals in the win while Jake DeBrusk and Brad Marchand each ended the night as well with two points. Jeremy Swayman made 24 saves in the win. But there...

Photo by Danielle Parhizkaran/The Boston Globe via In a must win game Boston heads to neutral turf as the PWHL takes over Detroit. Neutral ice might be just what a free falling Boston team needs. No pressures of home, no disadvantage of the road. In a must win game if Boston isn’t tanking early for the draft picks we shall see if they can turn the season around.

Recap: DeBrusk’s OT goal gives the Bruins a 2-1 win in Montreal

Photo by Minas Panagiotakis/ It was a quick one! It was another overtime game, but at least this one was quick! Jake DeBrusk and Brad Marchand perfectly executed a 2-on-1 that led to DeBrusk’s winner just 25 seconds into overtime, sending the Bruins home happy with a 2-1 win at the Bell Centre. Danton Heinen got the scoring started when he put in the hockey version of a fadeaway jumper from the top of the crease to make it 1-0 Bruins early in the first.

The Bruins had an optional practice at TD Garden yesterday after a 5-1 thumping by St. Louis on Monday.

Recap: Bruins lack finish in 5-1 loss to Blues

Photo by Richard T Gagnon/ The Bruins had some good looks, but didn’t finish on chances they created. The Boston Bruins fell to the St. Louis Blues, 5-1, as they lacked finished and the Blues capitalized on their chances on Monday night at the TD Garden. David Pastrnak scored the lone goal for the Bruins on a night where the B’s outshot the Blues 37-22 — but just didn’t have any puck luck. There wasn’t a shortage of opportunities for the Bruins, but rather poor execution to find the back of the net tonight. While the Bruins got off to a slow start, the Blues...

PWHL Half-Season Round-up: Green around the Gills

Photo by Maddie Meyer/ As PWHL Boston meets the half-way point of the season; we look back on the last 15 games and ask...what’s going on here? The PWHL season is short; a mere 24 games and four months long not counting the breaks for international competition baked in, and already the league has the momentum of a freight train. Games in Canada are routinely sold out, the Minnesota squad has absolutely killed it in recent months, and in general it really feels as if the league, though many it’s initial stumbles were and still are sticking points, has found it’s...
