The Colorado Avalanche are hoping for better results in the 2025-26 season after losing to the Dallas Stars in the first round. Ultimately, the Avalanche may have trouble doing it through free agency, as they currently have $1.2 million in cap space. Because of that, the Avs need to finesse some trades to open up […]

The Boston Bruins came into the 2024-25 season as one of the contenders in Atlantic Division of the Eastern Conference.

Roberto Luongo and Brad Marchand are celebrating a Stanley Cup victory together following the Florida Panthers’ 5-1 Game 6 win over the visiting Edmonton Oilers on Tuesday night.

The New York Islanders are primed for a massive offseason. They already let Lou Lamoriello walk and named Mathieu Darche the lead hockey executive.

The Boston Bruins and Chicago Blackhawks hooked up on a trade involving minor league defensemen on Friday, and general manager Don Sweeney is already making sure that the short-term future of one of the pieces in the deal is secured for next season.

The Boston Bruins are going hard on free agency after missing the playoffs. Under the best of circumstances, the Bruins get plenty out of acquiring new offensive players and resigning Morgan Geekie.  Under the worst of circumstances, the Bruins could lose top talent to free agency due to money issues. But for now, Boston can […]

The Boston Bruins traded team captain Brad Marchand to the Florida Panthers at the trade deadline in March, a move that most Bruins fans never would have believed would be possible when he was named the successor to previous team captain Patrice Bergeron upon his retirement in 2023. Marchand has been a stellar addition for […]

The Boston Bruins have been one of the NHL’s most consistent and successful teams. Prior to this season, they had been to the Stanley Cup playoffs in eight consecutive seasons.

The 2024-25 season was a disaster for the Boston Bruins. This perennial playoff team stumbled badly at the start of the season and head coach Jim Montgomery was fired early in the year. After a brief surge that indicated a return to playoff form was possible, the Bruins fell of a cliff in the Eastern […]

The Boston Bruins are entering a very important offseason after their wildly disappointing 2024-25 campaign.

The Florida Panthers are back in the Stanley Cup Final. They won their third consecutive Eastern Conference Final, beating the Carolina Hurricanes in five games. A key to the Panthers’ success has been Brad Marchand, who came over from the Boston Bruins in a deadline-day deal. The former Bruins captain spoke with NHL.com’s Amalie Benjamin […]

The Boston Bruins have been one of the most consistent teams in the NHL, but that tendency escaped them during the 2024-25 season.

The Tampa Bay Lightning were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by the Florida Panthers.

The Boston Bruins just endured one of the most challenging seasons in recent memory, finishing dead last in the Atlantic Division for the first time ever.

The New York Rangers failed to make the Stanley Cup Playoffs in 2025. The team is now under the watch of veteran head coach Mike Sullivan, who came over from the Pittsburgh Penguins.

The Boston Bruins had a miserable 2024-25 season. Coming in with massive expectations, they fired coach Jim Montgomery in November and finished last in the Atlantic Division. Now, they are looking for a full-time head coach as the pool narrows. The Bruins already gave general manager Don Sweeney an extension, and he has narrowed down […]

Don Sweeney will continue to be the Boston Bruins’ general manager for years to come. On Tuesday, the Bruins announced a new deal with Sweeney, who’s been serving Boston in that same capacity since 2015. “The #NHLBruins and General Manager Don Sweeney have agreed to a two-year contract extension,” Boston’s post on X (formerly Twitter) […]

Former Boston Bruins teammates Brad Marchand and Patrice Bergeron will have a special relationship. After the Bruins traded Marchand to the Florida Panthers, the latter has bolstered their squad. Most notably, though, that experience came in handy in yet another Game 7. Marchand extended his winning streak against the Toronto Maple Leafs in Game 7’s. […]

The Florida Panthers’ dominant 6–1 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Semifinals was more than just a ticket to the next round. It marked the final chapter in the blockbuster trade that brought Brad Marchand to Florida. With the Panthers advancing past the second round, the team is […]

The Boston Bruins did not make the Stanley Cup Playoffs in 2025. It was certainly a disappointing result for one of the proudest franchises in the NHL today. Goalie Jeremy Swayman is one of the more notable players who failed to recapture his 2023-24 form. And he is motivated to ensure this team does not […]

Former Vancouver Canucks coach Rick Tocchet may not be unemployed for long. There are three teams interested in hiring Tocchet as head coach, per TSN. They are the Seattle Kraken, Boston Bruins and Philadelphia Flyers. One of those teams may have the inside track on hiring the veteran coach. “The Flyers want to be aggressive. […]

The Boston Bruins are one of a handful of NHL teams with a head coach vacancy this offseason. They fired Jim Montgomery early in the season, turning the keys over to Joe Sacco.

The 2025 NHL Draft Lottery took place on Monday night before the Toronto Maple Leafs and Florida Panthers kicked off the second round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs. It was a rather stunning outcome, as well. The Boston Bruins slipped in the top 10, as many other teams did. In the end, it was the […]

The Pittsburgh Penguins fired Mike Sullivan on Monday after ten years as the head coach. He leaves with the franchise record for games coached, regular-season wins, playoff wins, and as the only coach to win two titles in Pittsburgh. With that resume, he became the hottest name on the coaching market. James Murphy of RG.org […]

The least of Don Sweeney and Cam Neely’s worries is how many starts Joonas Korpisalo received for the Boston Bruins this season. This season, the Bruins took a downward spiral, finishing 15th in the Eastern Conference after becoming sellers at the trade deadline. It was the worst season for the Bruins in nearly three decades, […]

The Boston Bruins just endured one of their worst seasons in franchise history, finishing dead last in the Atlantic Division and shipping out heart and soul captain Brad Marchand, among others, ahead of the NHL trade deadline.

Don Sweeney has one year remaining on his contract as general manager of the Boston Bruins — and that could be his last. President Cam Neely still hasn’t decided if he’s going to extend the longtime executive, he said on Wednesday. “I’m still contemplating what the best course of action is,” Neely told reporters at […]

The Boston Bruins massively played below expectations in 2024-25. Many expected Boston to make a push for the Stanley Cup Playoffs once again this season.

The Boston Bruins lost their final game of the season on Tuesday to the New Jersey Devils.

The Boston Bruins conducted their exit meetings on Thursday, two days after the conclusion of a hugely disappointing 2024-25 season. It was especially brutal for Charlie McAvoy, who suffered a shoulder injury during the 4 Nations Face-Off in February that cost him the rest of the campaign. McAvoy opened up about the entire situation on […]

It has been a season to forget for the Boston Bruins. One of the league’s best and most consistent teams for decades, the Bruins are fighting to stay out of last place in the Eastern Conference this season. One of the reasons for their fall from grace has been injuries, and they will not have […]

The Boston Bruins have had a horrific season in 2024-25. And for the first time in eight seasons, the Bruins will not go to the Stanley Cup Playoffs. This has drawn questions over what the Bruins will do this offseason. Perhaps they make a splash and trade star winger David Pastrnak. If this is the […]

The Boston Bruins (32-38-9) took a bulldozer to an already shaky season, deciding to enter rebuild mode for the first time in ages. They fired head coach Jim Montgomery in November and dealt away franchise great Brad Marchand and fixtures Charlie Coyle, Brandon Carlo and Trent Frederic ahead of the trade deadline. But they did […]

The Boston Bruins’ fall from grace is a case study for sports fans. The lesson is to never take success for granted, as you never know how quickly it can end.

The Boston Bruins knew that their run of regular-season excellence wouldn’t last forever, but they had no way of knowing that it would end so soon.

In the 2022-23 season, the Boston Bruins put together one of the most impressive regular seasons in NHL history. Their incredible 65 wins ranked as the most in regular season history.
