The 2022 NHL Playoffs have begun and the Bruins definitely got off on the wrong foot with loses in games 1 and 2 that were tough to swallow to say the least.

All this plus an extended bit of predictions including our one-month early NHL Awards. Foll...

It was a great week until it wasn't. Our Boston Bruins got big wins over the arch-rival Canadiens, Tampa Bay Lightning and the New York Islanders only to put forth an uneven and mostly uninspiring effort against the Toronto Maple Leafs. Was it all bad? Not at all -- and the boys dive into that. Namely: Hampus Lindholm is very, very good. Lot's of other things to discuss on the show inclu...
