Boston Bruins

Brad Marchand is at it again, and he sure knows how to make the headlines. The Hallifax, Nova Scotia native appears to have a new trademark lately, which entails borderline licking or kissing his opponents somewhere in the face region. Just ask Tampa Bay Lightning forward, Ryan Callahan, about Marchand’s latest antics. Marchand and Callahan began to get in each …

To have an NHL related question featured in Hooked On Hockey Magazine tweet to @KMcKenna_tLT5 by using the hashtag #McKennasDigest.  In a quick turnaround McKenna’s NHL Mailbag takes to Hooked on Hockey Magazine just in time for the …

It’s still much too early into the season to be worrying about the playoffs. However it is never too early to be concerned with inconsistent play that can hinder giving teams good habits to form to create winning ways. In the case of the Boston Bruins and their 2-3-0 start through the first 5 games, there truthfully hasn’t been anything …

The Eastern Conference wild card chase could not be any more confusing at the moment. Three teams are fighting to clinch a playoff appearance, with no situation more pressing than the Detroit Red Wings. Their 24-season post-season appearance streak is on the line. If it is extended, it would tie the St. Louis Blues, a team that made the playoffs …

We’re only a little over two weeks into the 2015-16 NHL season and the Bruins find themselves with a 2-3-1 record heading into their game against the New York Islanders tonight. Although only a small sample size (not even 10 games in yet) to this point, the Bruins currently hold the best powerplay in the league that is converting at …

This is it, folks. The moment we’ve all been waiting for. The moment when our beloved sport of hockey returns, along with fights starting over spilled beer, that one guy who wore a Habs Jersey to a B’s game, and disputing arguments over who really should’ve gotten traded over the dreaded offseason. BUT WORRY NO MORE. The NHL’s 2015-16 season …

Ladies and Gentlemen, I have a confession to make. As much of a die-hard Bruins fan as I am and as much as I live and breathe the city of Boston and all it stands for, I have to admit to you all that I am completely and irreversibly in love with a Montreal Canadiens devotee. Now, I must ask …

June 26, 2015 may forever be known as the worst day in Boston Bruins history. Some are calling it the second doing of the Boston Massacre. Others are claiming this was the “Boston Tear Party” and there is plenty more to be shed. Bruins nation and their fans are seeking answers to what just went down the past 24 hours …

It’s almost that time of year again, folks. The Stanley Cup Playoffs are winding down as the last two (sort of) expected teams finish their brutal, well fought battle to claim the championship in a (sort of) valiant way. And with that comes the dark, ominous cloud of the offseason looming in the miserable distance for all hockey fans. After …

It didn’t take that long for newly appointed general manager Don Sweeney to make his first organizational move. In-fact all but twenty-four hours since taking on as GM of the Bruins, Sweeney sparks headlines by signing Finnish forward Joonas Kemppainen to a one-year, two-way contract. The Bruins announced Thursday that the deal includes a $700,000 NHL salary cap hit. The 27-year …

Don Sweeney has now become the eighth general manager to serve the Boston Bruins after being announced earlier Wednesday morning to his new role. Sweeney served as assistant general manager the past six seasons and will be introduced at a 1:30 p.m. press conference at TD Garden today as the official new Boston Bruins general manager. “I am fully aware …

The Boston Bruins announced earlier on Wednesday that after nine seasons with the club, GM Peter Chiarelli has been let go. For what was only the second time in Chiarelli’s tenure as GM, the Bruins failed to qualify for the playoffs this season. Chiarelli’s overall regular season record as the Bruins general manager is 386-233-85, with his teams topping the …

We all knew that the day would come; the day when the mighty and righteous Boston Bruins fell to their knees in a not-so-hardly-fought fight to scrape by and make it into the Stanley Cup Playoffs. Putting on the back nine is coming early for these fellas this year. Heartbreak and despair plague the team’s fan base across the nation …

Bruins fans seemed to have had it pretty rough these past few months; from injuries and trades to just flat out losses. So naturally, it’s nice to hear some good news every now and again so you know, they can lift our spirits up before comPLETELY TEARING US DOWN AGAIN. But I digress. With that being said – Defensemen Torey …

Well. Congratulations. You did it! You survived what could have been the worst day of your life and came out with what might be a look of joy but probably more like a look of absolute distaste in what Peter Chiarelli made from the NHL Trade Deadline. The good news? Jordan Caron is GONE. BYE. HASTA LA VISTA. CATCH YA …
