Coming back form the Christmas break, the Bruins put together an impressive performance in Buffalo with a 4-1 victory over the Sabres. Joey and Rob discuss how this time away may help the Bruins moving forward, who is due to have a big performance, what the trade market could look like for the Bruins, Georgii Merkulov getting the call to Boston, and the scouting reports on potential new mascots.
The Bruins have been dealing with some refereeing issues, injuries to key players, prospect drama, and Matt Poitras' recent departure for the World Juniors. Despite that, they've been in every game, with mixed final results. Joey and Rob break down all the biggest news around the B's, and much more.
Three games. Three wins. Three goals from Captain Brad Marchand in less than 6 minutes. The Bruins beat the Sharks, get redemption against the Blue Jackets, and beat the Leafs in the funniest fashion imaginable. Joey and Rob recount the games, some comments from Jim Montgomery, and get a hearty chuckle at the expense of Leafs fans.
Bruins are stinkin it up. They lost to the Blue Jackets. The Columbus literal Coats beat the Boston Bruins. The B's have dropped 4 of 5 and have issues that are as unexpected as it gets. The goaltending is struggling, the defense is shaky at best, and they have zero physical presence. But everything is fine, it's early, we're good, it's fine. Also, the Corey Perry stuff.
The boys pull one out over the Florida Panthers on the Dads' Trip. Joey and Rob go through the trip and highlight the biggest moments form this Panthers game. They also pay their respects to the icon known as John Grzelcyk. That, and much more!
Back on top where they belong, the Boston Bruins are atop the National Hockey League once again, now touting a 12-1-2 record. Joey and Rob go through the biggest moments of the past week in Bruins hockey, and look ahead to what to expect in the upcoming stretch.
It's a surprise episode of Bear With Me after two very eventful games against the Maple Leafs and the Red Wings. Leafs fans are in shambles over a hit and a smile, and the Red Wings game ends in misconducts and "abuse of officials" calls. Joey and Rob bring logic and reason into the conversation as the Bruins face their first regulation loss of the year.
Matthew Poitras gets the nod and will stay with the club beyond his first 9 NHL games. Joey and Rob discuss how easy that decision must have been, Charlie McAvoy's suspension, and go game-by-game through the Bruins' most recent 3 including a late collapse against Anaheim, a convincing win against Detroit, and a comeback against Florida. Our thoughts and condolences are with the family and friends of Adam Johnson who tragically lost his life this past week.
The first road trip of the year is in the books, and the Bruins remain undefeated, now boasting a 6-0-0 record. Joey and Rob go through the biggest moments of the trip including Matt Poitras' first 3 NHL goals, Jake Debrusk getting benched, Lucic missing the last few games, a massive Trent Frederic fight, Marchand continuing to pummel the Kings every chance he gets, and much much more!
The 2023-24 season is underway, and the Boston Bruins come out of the gate 2-0-0. Joey and Rob break down the biggest moments form the start of the season including the centennial celebration before the opener, seeing Connor Bedard's first NHL goal, Matt Poitras fitting right in, Hall and Foligno's return to Boston, Lucic looking surprisingly good, some frustrating refereeing in the Nashville game, and the naming of the All-Centennial Team.
