In just over three weeks, the Boston Bruins will usher in a new era with a new look and new Captain. Last Saturday, the Bruins debuted three new commemorative jerseys for the Centennial season with a runway show event. The home and away jerseys draw most of their inspiration from the 70s and 80s era sweaters most prominently worn by …
The mass exodus of talent from the Boston Bruins this summer has been spoken about ad-nauseum. While Don Sweeney did what he could to patch up as many holes as possible under the salary cap, there are still plenty of spots up for grabs on the roster. In addition to the free agent signings and graduating prospects, multiple veterans have …
The retirement of Patrice Bergeron is going to have a significant impact on the Boston Bruins this upcoming season and several years to come. His absence will be felt on the ice, particularly on defense, but even more so in the locker room. Despite only officially being the Bruins Captain for three seasons, he was a de-facto co-Captain with Zdeno …
Despite August being a relatively quiet off-season period, it’s been a rollercoaster month for the Boston Bruins. The Good Boston successfully re-signed Jeremy Swayman and Trent Frederic to reasonable contracts. Fredric signed for two years at $2.3 million prior to arbitration, which is fair value for a bottom-six forward coming off a career-best season. Swayman signed for one year at …
It’s been just over a month since the Stanley Cup was awarded, and the NHL offseason kicked off. Most of the big moves have been made by now, and free agency has died down to the occasional rumor. Most of the talking points surround the Erik Karlsson sweepstakes, Olympic participation, and salary arbitration, the latter of which is very relevant …
With the growing uncertainty of David Krejci returning to Boston for the 2023-24 season, it would fit with the theme of the team’s 100th year to look back at an unappreciated moment by the Bruins’ perennially underrated star. It’s October 24th, 2013; the Bruins are hosting the San Jose Sharks in an early season heavyweight bout between two of the …
Heading into the offseason, it was already known that the Bruins had a lot of work to do and little room to work with. Even after dealing away Hall and Foligno, Don Sweeney wasn’t done making moves to clear cap space. Just before the start of Free Agency, Mike Reilly was bought out from the last year of his contract, …
The Bruins’ Centennial Season kicked off with a frenzy of activity. On the eve of the NHL Awards, Taylor Hall and Nick Foligno became the first casualties of Boston’s cap crunch. The two of them were dealt to Chicago for a pair of RFA minor-league defensemen. It was rumored that Boston was looking to move Hall’s contract for cap flexibility, …
It’s been just over a week since Vegas hoisted the Stanley Cup and basked in the adulation of the hockey world (also beer), and now the media’s collective attention has shifted to the summer. The NHL Draft is less than a week away, and Free Agency opens on July 1st. There is plenty of speculation over the Draft and who …
It certainly hasn’t been a spring for the history books in the Boston sports world. The Bruins’ dream season came to a screeching halt in historic fashion. The Celtics followed up that act by laying an egg in Game 7 of the Eastern Conference Finals after becoming the 4th team in NBA history to climb out of a 3-0 deficit. …
