Line Changes with Alex & Brad

We are back as the 2025-26 NHL season gets underway. It won't take long for you to see what our level of optimism is for the 2025-26 Boston Bruins. We discuss the roster, its flaws, and why are they STILL not playing the young guys?? We give an Atlantic Division preview as we look ahead to the season and.... It is certainly going to be a hockey season. Bradley finds out mid-episode that the Bl...

After two months, we're back to talk about the Summer of Brad, the NHL draft, and all of the latest news around the NHL! James Hagens DROPPED to 7, and is officially a Boston Bruin! Will we see him in the re-designed spoked B or will he be back at Boston College? Meanwhile Brad Marchand has been thriving, celebrating his second Stanley Cup after being freed from the crumbling Bruins. Marco Stu...

After a season full of disappointments, the 2024-25 Boston Bruins cannot hurt/bore us any more. Tune in as we recap the end of season notes and give our predictions for the Stanley Cup Playoffs, which will not feature the Bruins for the first time in 8 years. Where do the B's go from here? Who should be the next captain? Next coach? Please, let us know what you think and make sure to check out...

We're back! Because of Don Sweeney, the bruins commenced a "re-tool" trading Frederic, Coyle, Carlo, and Marchand. Carlo and Marchand stay in the division, being dealt to Toronto and Florida, respectively. Don Sweeney's bad moves in the past have led to this reality that Brad Marchand is actually playing for another franchise. We discuss the future of the Bruins. What good are dr...

We're back! Team Canada wins a thrilling Championship game against the United States in what was a slam dunk 4 Nations Faceoff. Meanwhile, back in Bruins' land, everything sucks. Hampus Lindholm is likely out for the remainder of the season, Charlie McAvoy is out for a while after suffering a "significant" AC Joint injury and subsequent infection in Montreal. The Bruins are just...

We're back! After a brief hiatus, we are back to discuss the continued trends and flaws of this team! Jeremy Swayman seems to be rounding into form after two 40+ save wins, Marchand and Pastrnak hate each other (lol), and it is way past time for the Bruins to embrace the youth movement fully. The B's playoff chances seem slim- will they make it? Please, let us know what you think and make sure to...

We're back! After a disappointing start to the season filled with underperforming players in roles they shouldn't be in, Don Sweeney has fired his 3rd coach after letting Jim Montgomery go after Monday's 5-1 loss to Columbus. How much is Montgomery to blame? We quickly answer that question, as every player has been disappointing this season. There are only TWO Bruins on pace for 40 points or more....

We're back! The Bruins are... off to a bizarre start to the season, and they cannot stop taking penalties. The Bruins are 3-4-1, but it feels much worse. The Bruins have a decent fourth line.. but that's about it. Just about everyone and everything has been off to start the season. How do the Bruins fix the lack of chemistry? Is it time to call up Lysell? How much blame should Montgomery get? Bare...

The 2024-25 NHL season is here! Tune in as we discuss the Bruins opening night roster ahead of Tuesday's (potential) season opener in Florida! We give our take on the Bruins strengths, weaknesses, and where we think they'll end up in the Atlantic division standings. We then go division by division, giving our complete standings predictions! Will Ottawa finally break through? Is there magic brewing...

Well... we're back. Tune in as we discuss the tragic deaths of Johnny & Matty Gaudreau, who were tragically murdered by a drunk driver in New Jersey a couple of weeks ago. Do not drink and drive. Call a friend, uber, ANYTHING. We then make the difficult transition to talk about Jeremy Swayman's contract situation and Brad Marchand undergoing 3 offseason surgeries. Are we at all worried...

We're back! The Bruins made some big splashes on the first day of Free Agency, locking up Elias Lindholm and Nikita Zadorov. They essentially swap players with the Canucks as DeBrusk, Heinen, and Forbort sign with the Canucks. It is going to be BIZARRE to see Jake DeBrusk in another jersey after being a Bruin for 7 seasons. The Bruins also signed Max Jones, leaving them with just under $8M as...

We're back... and Linus Ullmark is an Ottawa Senator. In return, the Bruins get a first-round pick and the worst statistical goalie from the 2023-24 season- Joonas Korpisalo (at 25% retained), who is signed for four seasons at $3M, and gritty forward Mark Kastelic. We give our reactions to what was a very disappointing trade. Oh yeah, the Florida Panthers won the Cup. Wow, it was brutal to wat...

The Stanley Cup Final is here.... and we couldn't feel more "meh" about it. We briefly talk about the cup final before turning our focus to the Bruins, and more specifically, Don Sweeney. Should this be his last chance? We take a look back at some prior free agency and draft decisions as Don Sweeney gets set to have more than $20M in cap space. We give our thoughts on the state of th...

We're back... and the Bruins have been eliminated from the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs. We give our takes on the series, and the B's centennial season as a whole. This one feels different, and not in a bad way. The B's overachieved and had a great season -- even advancing in the playoffs, which they hadn't done since 2021. For the first time in seemingly forever, they have flexibilit...

The Bruins are down 3-1. It's much deserved as the Bruins have been thoroughly outplayed..... but the referees still find a way to insert themselves. Sam Bennett sucker punches Brad Marchand, knocking him out of games 3 and 4. No penalty, no suspension, and no fine, but a new camera angle appeared two days later, confirming what we already knew. Then in game 4, it is legal to Crosscheck Charli...

We're back! The Bruins split the first two games in Florida, and head back to Boston looking to regroup after a poor showing in Game 2. The Bruins started the series with a great Game 1 win where they got goals from some unexpected names. But... in Game 2, the Bruins only have 15 shots on goal, Jeremy Swayman is left out to dry as no defenseman wanted to play defense, David Pastrnak fights Mat...

We're back! The Bruins, despite blowing a 3-1 stranglehold, manage to mulch the Leafs in game 7 at TD Garden again. Tune in as we give our fresh reaction to game 7, Pastrnak's OT heroics and the overall stress sports create. We recap what an out-of-this-world series was for Jeremy Swayman, Mason Lohrei stepping up nicely, and David Pastrnak coming through when it matters most. We then brie...

We're back! The B's split the first two games of the series as the series shifts back to Toronto. Bradley recounts his trip to Boston for game 1, as the Bruins and the 4th line make their presence felt early in game 1, and then have quite the bad game in game 2. We discuss the goaltending decisions, Peeke's injury, and more! We touch on DeBrusk's excellence so far, Max Domi doing M...

We're back! Yeah... this was inevitable... The Bruins are set to take on the Leafs in round 1 of the 2024 Stanley Cup Playoffs! Tune in as we recap the end of the season, discuss the B's injury updates and preview another highly anticipated playoff matchup! Who has the advantage, and where? We then go through each playoff series and give our thoughts and predictions as the action gets unde...

We're back! The Bruins head down to Florida for a much-anticipated battle against the Panthers and Lightning! The Panthers, to no one's surprise, are still VERY unlikable. We also discuss the trend of the Bruins blowing leads, which leads to a fiery Montgomery at practice. We discuss Brazeau's impact, Andrew Peeke's fresh start in Boston, and David Pastrnak hitting 100 points on th...

We're back for the 2024 trade deadline recap... and the Bruins traded for Pat Maroon and Andrew Peeke! That's on us for joking about both of them last episode. Our apologies. The B's take on an injured Pat Maroon and a defenseman in Peeke that had trouble seeing the ice for a bad Blue Jackets team this year. We break down the trades and what almost was a Linus Ullmark trade! We then ta...

We're back! The Bruins, despite their recent horrible play, beat the Leafs as trade deadline week begins! Tune in as we discuss the Toronto game, along with the horrific Isles game. We discuss how badly the Bruins are missing Hampus Lindholm, Ullmark and Swayman suffering from bad defensive play, and Jake DeBrusk's last 16 games. We look ahead to the trade deadline and what is looking to b...

We're back! Tune in as we discuss the Bruins 7-game homestand! We discuss the Bruins' defensive issues, which primarily stem from their left-side defensemen. Where do they go from here? Is Mason Lohrei the answer? On the bright side, Brad Marchand played his 1,000th NHL game, and was honored before the B's took on the Stars! We dive into the Ridly Greig empty net saga, where the "...

We're back! More heartbreaking and infuriating news comes out of the NHL, as Dillon Dube, Michael McLeod, Cal Foote, Carter Hart and Alex Formenton have been charged with sexual assault in regards to the Team Canada 2018 WJC investigation. If you wish to not hear this, the conversation regarding this topic ends at the 6:45 mark. We then make a difficult transition and talk about the Bruins rec...

We're back! It has been almost a full month since we last recorded, and the Bruins went 6-3-3 in the games since. We discuss the continued 4th line benching, Injuries galore, and Sidney Crosby is still Sidney Crosby. Brad Marchand hits 900 points and closes in on 1000 NHL games... and we cannot believe how old we are getting. We then take a brief look ahead as the trade deadline draws near, an...
