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 Boston Bruins have been all about consistency. Going into the 2024-25 season, they had made the playoffs every year since the 2016-17 season. They had been to the Stanley Cup Finals in 2019 and set the league record for most points and most wins in the 2022-23 season. While they were not expected to […]

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 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 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 have been one of the most successful teams in the NHL throughout the past decade. They have been to the playoffs  every year since 2016-17, making the Stanley Cup Finals in 2019 and setting the league record for wins and points in 2023. However, they have fallen apart in recent weeks and […]

The captain of the Boston Bruins may have played his last game for the Original 6 team. Brad Marchand, who suffered a possible concussion in a game in late February against the Pittsburgh Penguins, may be headed out of town before the March 7 trade deadline. The Bruins have struggled throughout the season and they […]

The Boston Bruins have been one of the most successful North American professional sports franchises of the last 56 seasons. Starting with the 1967-68 season — coinciding with Bobby Orr’s second year on the team — the Bruins have made the Stanley Cup playoffs 49 times and only failed to make the postseason tournament seven […]

The Boston Bruins have endured a difficult 2024-25 NHL season that resulted in them firing head coach Jim Montgomery thanks to their inconsistent play that failed to meet expectations. But adding to the drama of their season was an explosive report from WEEI’s Rich Keefe that there was an issue between longtime teammates Brad Marchand […]

The Boston Bruins went into their game Saturday on the road against the Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers with a six-game losing streak. While they were outplayed and outshot by the Panthers for large portions of the game, they got a lucky deflection in overtime on an attempted pass by David Pastrnak to earn a […]

The Boston Bruins have long been one of the NHL’s top performing franchises, but the first half of the 2024-25 season has been something of a nightmare. A poor start led to the firing of head coach Jim Montgomery, and after a brief surge under interim coach Joe Sacco, the Bruins are currently in the […]

Frank Vatrano is not a superstar in the NHL and any team that is pursuing the Anaheim Ducks forward in a potential trade knows that. However, Vatrano is a player with multiple skills, and his best skill is his ability to put the puck in the net. This is an asset that is always valued […]

While the Boston Bruins defeated the Metropolitan Division-leading Washington Capitals by a 4-1 score at TD Garden Monday night, they suffered a significant loss up front. Sniper David Pastrnak suffered an upper-body injury midway through the second period and did not return to action, though he was briefly seen on the bench following the injury. […]

The Boston Bruins appear to be a team that can’t make up it’s mind on how the season will play out. As the year got underway, there was quite a bit of optimism that the Bruins would challenge the Florida Panthers and Toronto Maple Leafs for first place in the Atlantic Division. However, as soon […]

The Boston Bruins acted quickly when the New York Islanders placed forward Oliver Wahlstrom on the waiver wire, claiming him and bringing him to the team that he grew up rooting for. He’s the newest face on the Bruins roster that has struggled to put together consistent performances this season, resulting in the termination of […]

The Boston Bruins have been an elite NHL team for years, and they came into the 2024-25 season expecting to maintain that position and possibly make a surprise run at the Atlantic Division title. However, the balance and strength that has been a hallmark of the franchise under multiple coaches appears to have become nothing […]

The Boston Bruins have been one of the most consistent teams in the league for years, but that has not been the case at the start of the 2024-25 season. The Bruins have lost their touch with the man advantage (11.8 percent, tied for 31st) and killing penalties (75.0 percent, 26th in NHL), after regularly […]

It’s been a difficult start to the 2024-25 NHL campaign for the Boston Bruins. After two phenomenal regular-seasons — one of them historic — with Jim Montgomery at the helm, the head coach’s future could be up in the air as the turmoil surrounding the team continues. The B’s are 6-6-1 through 13 games, and […]

The Boston Bruins have now suffered back-to-back losses to division rival Florida Panthers, the same team that has eliminated them from the playoffs for the past two seasons. Their latest setback came in a 4-3 defeat at TD Garden on Monday, leaving the Bruins with a 2-2 record through their first four games. This follows […]

The Boston Bruins have been at or near the top of the NHL for 16  years. Since the start of the 2007-08 season, they have made the playoffs in all but two seasons. They have won one Stanley Cup and been to the Stanley Cup Finals two other times. The Bruins had the best regular-season […]

After the Boston Bruins dominated Game 1 of their second-round series against the Florida Panthers, the home team reversed its fortunes and overwhelmed the Bruins in Game 2 to tie matters up.

The Boston Bruins avoided disaster Saturday night, winning Game 7 of their Stanley Cup Playoffs first-round series against the Toronto Maple Leafs. The 2-1 overtime victory is credited, at least from prominent members of the Bruins, to goaltender Jeremy Swayman, who received extensive praise from head coach Jim Montgomery and right winger David Pastrnak. After […]

The Boston Bruins have watched a 3-1 lead slip away in the first-round of the Stanley Cup Playoffs for the second straight year. The Toronto Maple Leafs prevailed against their Original Six rivals for the first time on home ice this season in Game 6, squeaking out a 2-1 victory in front of the home […]

The Boston Bruins have been able to surprise their critics throughout the 2023-24 season. The retirement of future Hall of Famer Patrice Bergeron and game-changing center David Krejci was supposed to doom this team and drive them out of the playoffs. Instead, the Bruins flirted with a second consecutive Presidents Trophy and they ultimately finished […]

Boston Bruins forward David Pastrnak isn’t letting anyone tell him that it will be easy to knock out the Toronto Maple Leafs in their NHL playoff series. Pastrnak knows that a team with its back against the wall facing elimination is a very hard out. “It’s going to be the hardest game tomorrow, so have […]

The Boston Bruins have been playing under a cloud of failure dating back to last year’s playoffs. As they head into the final games of the 2023-24 regular season, they are in first place in the Atlantic Division and they have a solid chance of holding off the Florida Panthers for the division crown. Instead […]

The Boston Bruins have been one of the most consistent teams in the NHL for the last two decades. The Bruins clinched their most recent playoff appearance Thursday after losses by the Philadelphia Flyers and Detroit Red Wings, and they have earned a spot in the postseason in 15 of the past 17 seasons. The […]

The National Hockey League announced a new ‘4 Nations Face-Off’ during All-Star Weekend that will replace the ASG in 2025. And much to the chagrin of Boston Bruins superstar forward David Pastrnak, Czechia will not be included in the festivities. Only Canada, the United States, Sweden and Finland will be participating in the tournament next […]

The Toronto Maple Leafs made their hometown crowd proud during NHL All-Star weekend, but Boston Bruins forward David Pastrnak wasn’t impressed, according to Dan Rosen of NHL.com: “Bruins forward David Pastrnak on the four Maple Leafs winning the All-Star Game: ‘Good for them. They needed some wins. They got one.’ And then he smiled.” Even […]

It has been another memorable start to the season for the Boston Bruins. The team that set the regular-season record for both points and victories last year has been at or near the top of the Eastern Conference since the start of the season. That, in itself, has been an achievement for a couple of […]

The Boston Bruins have a mission during the 2023-24 season. The team that set the NHL regular season record for wins and points last year, is determined to bounce back from the shocking first-round loss that knocked them out of the Stanley Cup playoffs last year. The Bruins were beaten in 7 games by the […]

David Pastrnak has been the best player on the Boston Bruins for years — as well as one of the NHL’s premier forwards — but in 2023-24, he’s making a legitimate Hart Trophy case as the league’s Most Valuable Player. But despite his excellence in the early going, to the tune of 11 goals and […]

It’s going to take some time for the pain to completely subside for the Boston Bruins following their meltdown in the first round of the 2023 NHL Stanley Cup Playoffs against the Florida Panthers. Bruins forward David Pastrnak perfectly encapsulates the feeling of losing the way they did to the Panthers in just three words. […]

David Pastrnak, David Krejci and Patrice Bergeron have all played their entire career with the Boston Bruins — but the team could look a lot different next year after a stunning first-round collapse against the Florida Panthers. Pastrnak shared an emotional response to the fact that Sunday night could have been his last game playing […]

Two games into their first-round playoff series against the Florida Panthers, some alarms were ringing for the Boston Bruins. They didn’t look great in the first two games to open the series, and were going to be without Patrice Bergeron for at least two more games as they traveled to Florida. But as this series […]

David Pastrnak and the Boston Bruins made NHL history with their incredible 63rd win of the 2022-23 regular season on Sunday, becoming the first team in the league’s over 100 year history to achieve the feat.
