Line Changes with Alex & Brad

We're back! The Bruins have their depth scoring FINALLY show up, as they have won 7 of their last 10 games, and went 4-1-1 on their 6 game road trip. They return home to choke away a lead against the Kings... but we focus on the positives. Jake DeBrusk looks like 2019 DeBrusk, Craig Smith is scoring again, and Trent Frederic is looking like a real hockey player. Patrice Bergeron is having the best...

We are back! The Bruins have been playing without Bergeron and Marchand for much of the last week and a half... and it shows! We choose to disregard that and take a deep dive into the highly controversial players on the Bruins this season, compare their advanced stats against the eye test and put them to the test. We continue on to discuss and laugh at more CapFriendly armchair GM trades- from bot...

We are back! Tuukka Rask retires from professional hockey after his comeback attempt suffers a setback. Tuukka is the best goalie the Bruins have ever had. Full stop. With that, the Bruins are in full-on chaos mode right now. After news of Tuukka's potential retirement was leaked, the Bruins blew a 2-0 lead to Danton Heinen, (I mean the Penguins), Patrice Bergeron suffered a head injury, and Brad...

We're back! Just like last week, the bruins play awful on the night we record! Tuukka Rask struggles to make saves as the Bruins drop a tough one to Anaheim. What is up with Tuukka Rask?  Is he just starting slow like he usually does, or is this a sign of things to come? Brad Marchand has quite the week, as he chirps Vincent Trocheck & the Hurricanes, makes a fan's day with a great video...

We are back... and boy did the Bruins get demolished by the Hurricanes! But we choose to focus on the brighter things like Willie O'Ree's beautiful jersey retirement ceremony, and much more! We also touch on the good games from the past week, including Pastrnak and Marchand earning Hat tricks, Tuukka Rask returning to NHL game action, and updated NHL COVID protocols. We wrap up the episode taking...

We're back! The Bruins continue their strong play in 2022 as they convincingly beat the Lightning and the Capitals, but drop a close one to the Wild! We break down those three games and discuss Tuukka Rask's return to the NHL suffering a setback as Providence suffers another COVID postponement, Trent Frederic's hit on Kirill Kaprizov and the Wild (pun intended) takes from Minnesota fans, as well a...

We are back as the Bruins have returned from the COVID-19 Pause, and are 3-0 in the New Year! Oskar Steen is making his presence felt as he scored his first NHL goal, Frederic-Nosek-Lazar is coming together as a real solid fourth line, and NHL players are not going to the Olympics in 2022! Tuukka Rask is reportedly beginning his NHL comeback with a short stint in Providence, perhaps as soon as thi...

We are back... and the Bruins have 7 players and 2 staff members in the NHL's  COVID protocol as cases skyrocket in the NHL, NFL, & NBA. Why are teams being forced to play with half of their roster out? What a mess. The Bruins head to Canada on Friday for a scheduled back to back with Montreal and Ottawa, but we will see if these games will even happen, let alone if more players will join...

We are back! The Bruins have played some fairly decent hockey as of late, but don't have all of the results to show for it, dropping a couple games that they deserved to win. The good news is Brad Marchand's suspension is done, and the best winger in hockey will be back as the Bruins head out on their Western Canadian road trip. Jack Ahcan looked good in his 2021-22 season debut, filling in for th...

We are back... and all hell is breaking loose! Brad Marchand is the latest player to get screwed over by the NHL's Department of Player Safety's lack of consistency, as he was suspended for 3 games for "slewfooting.." it was more of a dangerous trip if anything. Which.. is an infraction PK Subban has been fined for THREE times this season already. Literally, minutes later, news breaks that Jake De...

We are back, and joined by returning guest Zach Jezioro, (@ZachJ_13) to discuss the Sabres' start to the season, the fallout from the Jack Eichel trade, Rasmus Dahlin's growth, and much more! We have some fun running through CapFriendly trade ideas for the Bruins, Sabres, and Leafs! We briefly touch on the Bruins' horrible performance against Calgary, as Brad was (unfortunately) back at TD Garden...

We are back! Jack Eichel has FINALLY been traded... and the Bruins continue to struggle to play even close to a full 60 as they host Connor McDavid & the Edmonton Oilers with both teams honouring the life and memory of Colby Cave with an emotional pre-game ceremony. We discuss what is truly wrong with this team and... Tuukka Rask was spotted at Warrior Ice Arena this past week.... (eye emojis)...

We are back! We start the episode off talking about Kyle Beach, and his bravery as he reveals himself as "John Doe" to TSN. We also discuss both the NHL's and Blackhawks' failure to protect Kyle and so many others. If you do not wish to listen to this heavy segment, the segment ends at the 21:00 minute mark.    We then discuss the last three Bruins games, including the horrible FLA/CAR b...

We are back! The B's have finally played some games, and we discuss everything from their last 3!

We're back! The NHL season is just 8 days away, and we are just 12 days away from the Bruins opener! Some... interesting things have happened around the NHL... Zdeno Chara signed with the Islanders... and Jack Eichel has been stripped of the captaincy in Buffalo... can this saga just end already?? We move on to discuss the Bruins preseason and what we like and dislike! We wrap up the episode talki...

We are back! After a nearly month-long break, we return to discuss a bunch of NHL news we missed. We start by discussing the tragic passing of former Bruin and NHLer Jimmy Hayes, who passed away at just 31 years old. We then talk about the Bruins core; whether Bergeron is gone after this season, if Rask is coming back at all, and how (former Bruin) David Krejci is completely destroying the Czech l...

We are back, and we are once again joined by Will ( @CharlieGOATavoy ) to hand out grades for the B's 2020-21 forwards! Jake DeBrusk, Charlie Coyle, and Chris Wagner are hot topics! We then move on to discuss all of the recent major news in the NHL, including Matthews (again) being named the EA NHL cover athlete, Henrik Lundqvist retiring, the Coyotes are in search of a new home, and the B's have...

We are back! David Krejci has decided to step away from his NHL career to play in the Czech Republic. We begin the episode by taking a look back at his 962 Game NHL career, and all he meant to the B's throughout the years. Which brings us to one of the biggest questions facing the Bruins: Who replaces Krejci? We then move on to discuss what the B's opening night roster might look like as Bruce Cas...

We're back! The Bruins drafted Fabian Lysell in round 1 of the 2021 NHL Draft and made some big moves as free agency is underway! Erik Haula, Nick Foligno, Tomas Nosek, Derek Forbort, and Linus Ullmark (who is elite) all sign with the Bruins. What does this mean for Jake DeBrusk as the B's load up on bottom 6 left-handed wingers? With Ullmark signed, Dan Vladar is dealt to Calgary- what's next for...

We are back! The Seattle expansion draft is complete, as the Kraken took Jeremy Lauzon from the Bruins and a lot of other unknown players, passing up on big-name, high cap hit players. TAYLOR HALL IS allegedly A BOSTON BRUIN FOR FOUR MORE YEARS (per almost every insider). The 2021-22 NHL schedule was revealed, and we mention the key dates and games, including Torey Krug's return to Boston. We diss...

We are back! With protected lists being released, we play the part of Ron Francis and draft the roster and lineups for the 2021-22 Seattle Kraken! Will Carey Price, Vladimir Tarasenko & Mark Giordano be heading for Seattle? We then move on to discuss Kevan Miller's retirement, Brandon Carlo's extension, and the latest rumors for what should be an insane off-season! We'll be back later this wee...

We are back, and joined by Will (@CharlieGOATavoy) to discuss Tampa winning the cup, and what will happen as the Bruins have cap space for the first time in forever - discussing what the bruins need to do as the critical dates for the off-season approach. We then go through the B's defensemen and goalies for the 2020-21 season, and give grades to those who played at least 10 games. Tune in for the...
