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. Going back to the 1967-68 season — Bobby Orr’s second year with the team — the Bruins had made an appearance in the postseason 49 […]

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 have finally hired a new coach after firing Jim Montgomery early in the 2024-25 campaign. The organization has named former player Marco Sturm their 30th head coach, becoming the last team in the NHL to find its next boss. The Bruins announced the news with this video on X: https://t.co/HMRAYtic9x pic.twitter.com/cGQG0zvxZW — […]

The Boston Bruins are entering a very important offseason after their wildly disappointing 2024-25 campaign. After making a run to the Eastern Conference semifinals the year before and swinging some big moves last offseason, the Bruins fell flat on their face this past campaign, resulting in head coach Jim Montgomery getting fired just 20 games […]

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. Not only did the Bruins fail to make the playoffs for the first time since the 2015-16 season, they finished in last place in the Atlantic Division. The Bruins had many flaws […]

The Boston Bruins have seen teams like the New York Rangers and the Chicago Blackhawks hire new coaches since the end of the regular season. The Bruins are still in the process of interviewing candidates, and while they are getting closer, they are still working out the details before they hire their next head coach. […]

The Tampa Bay Lightning were eliminated in the first round of the playoffs by the Florida Panthers. With an aging roster and limited cap space, the Lightning are expected to make major offseason moves. One of those moves could be to let Yanni Gourde go in free agency. If the Lightning are unable to re-sign […]

The Boston Bruins finished in last place in the Atlantic Division in 2024-25. While former coach Jim Montgomery led the Blues to the playoffs, Joe Sacco saw the team spiral down the standings. After getting a contract extension, general manager Don Sweeney hired a new coach to lead Boston. Former Bruins player Marco Sturm has […]

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. But it was a strong campaign for forward Morgan Geekie, who finished second in team scoring with 33 goals and 57 points in 77 games. And as newly extended […]

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. Sullivan is tasked with returning this team to competitive hockey. Their work begins this offseason, and one item on the agenda is […]

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. Montgomery ended up leading the Blues to the playoffs while Sacco and the B’s finished last in the Atlantic Division. Now, the […]

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. But despite that, CEO Charlie Jacobs believes the team will be back in the dance in 2026. “We’ve […]

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. Not only did the Bruins fail to make the postseason, but they were also one of the worst teams in the league. One player who certainly disappointed on the ice […]

The Boston Bruins lost their final game of the season on Tuesday to the New Jersey Devils. That closed the book on the 2024-25 season, finishing last place in the Atlantic Division and tied for last in the Eastern Conference. Even with the playoffs long gone, David Pastrnak had a spectacular season in Boston. Defenseman […]

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 Bruins were on top of the world when they set regular season records in 2022-23. However, they’ve been on a downward trajectory after […]

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. The proud franchise has been experiencing a rapid fall from grace, punctuated by trading their captain, Brad Marchand, to the Florida Panthers at the trade deadline. It hasn’t been […]

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. So their decline to the bottom of the Eastern Conference standings just two years later comes as a bit of a shock. As of […]

The Boston Bruins picked up a big win over the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday. Unfortunately, the win did little to change their fortunes this season. The Bruins have had an overall miserable season. And it has resulted in their elimination from playoff contention in 2025. In turn, their attention shifts to the 2025 NHL Draft […]

The Boston Bruins have struggled mightily this season. One reason for this is the play of goalie Jeremy Swayman. Swayman, who signed an eight-year contract extension before the season, has played well below his previous standards. This has factored into an extremely disappointing season for the Bruins. However, Swayman gave Boston fans a glimmer of […]

The Boston Bruins have been in a free fall since dealing away several key pieces at the trade deadline, as they lost their 10th straight game on Thursday night when they fell 4-1 at the hands of the Montreal Canadiens. While the B’s have been out of playoff contention for a while now, their players […]

It has been some time since Boston Bruins star Charlie McAvoy has played in a game. The Bruins star suffered an injury at the 4 Nations tournament back in mid-February. McAvoy was even hospitalized due to complications of this injury. The Boston defenseman is not ready to skate in a game at this time. However, […]

Two teams on losing streaks face off as the Washington Capitals face the Boston Bruins.  It is time to continue our NHL odds series with a Capitals-Bruins prediction and pick. The Capitals come into the game at 47-17-9 on the year, which is the best record in the Eastern Conference. Still, they have now lost […]

The Boston Bruins named Joe Sacco interim head coach back in November. The Bruins fired Jim Montgomery, believing they needed a new voice in the locker room following a poor start. Unfortunately, things have not gone well for Boston under Sacco’s watch. The Bruins are near the bottom of the Eastern Conference and are likely […]

Morgan Geekie has been a bright spot in what has been a miserable 2024-25 campaign for the Boston Bruins. The pending restricted free agent is third in team scoring with a career-high 26 goals and 41 points over 68 games. And Bruins GM Don Sweeney made it clear he is hoping to keep the 26-year-old […]
