Bruins Can't Afford Panarin

Bruins Can't Afford Panarin

February 12th, 2019 Barring a major collapse, the Boston Bruins will return to the playoffs for the third straight season this spring. The only thing really left to decide is whether or not the Bruins will be the third seed in the Atlantic Division or if they will be in a wild card position. That battle with the Montreal Canadiens is likely to come down to...
Bruins Trade Targets - New Jersey Devils

Bruins Trade Targets - New Jersey Devils

February 1st, 2019 A season ago, the New Jersey Devils shocked the NHL and made the playoffs on the back of Taylor Hall's MVP performance. This season, with Hall out of the lineup, the Devils have sank back towards the bottom of the standings and won't be playing in the postseason this April. General manager Ray Shero is a smart man, and he has slowly...
Bruins Trade Targets - Los Angeles Kings

Bruins Trade Targets - Los Angeles Kings

January 25th, 2019 After making the playoffs a season ago, 2018-19 has been nothing short of a disaster for the Los Angeles Kings. A team with an aging core that's time to compete is now, the Kings find themselves sitting near the basement of not only the Western Conference, but the entire league. Gone is head coach John Stevens, replaced with...
Bruins Trade Targets - New York Rangers

Bruins Trade Targets - New York Rangers

January 17th, 2019 Earlier this week, we matched the Boston Bruins with the St. Louis Blues as potential trade partners this deadline season. Today, we will take a look at one of the biggest potential sellers in the east in the New York Rangers. The Rangers have fully embraced the rebuild, and will be heading to their second straight deadline...
Bruins Trade Targets - St. Louis Blues

Bruins Trade Targets - St. Louis Blues

January 15th, 2019 The Boston Bruins had an impressive stretch in the last 72 hours. They knocked off the Toronto Maple Leafs on Saturday night, and then played a strong game that resulted in an overtime defeat to the Montreal Canadiens on Monday night. Sure, losing to the Canadiens is a tough hit, but the Bruins managed to collect a point and I thought...
Bruins' Trade Deadline Targets

Bruins' Trade Deadline Targets

January 13th, 2019 It is hard to believe that trading season is here once again, but as the NHL's annual All-Star Game creeps a little bit closer that means the deadline is right around the corner. This season there appears to be more of a buyer's market than anything, which greatly benefits a team like the Boston Bruins. As the Bruins get...
5 Boston Bruins Predictions for 2019

5 Boston Bruins Predictions for 2019

January 2nd, 2019 What a way to kick off the New Year, huh? The Boston Bruins walked into Notre Dame Stadium (in style, might I add) and took two points from the Chicago Blackhawks in the annual NHL Winter Classic. After an up and down 2018 filled with moments both good and bad, 2019 couldn't have kicked off in better fashion for the B's....
Boston Bruins' Christmas Wish List

Boston Bruins' Christmas Wish List

December 24th, 2018 Merry Christmas, my friends! It's hard to believe, but it is the time of year again where we put out the milk and cookies and wait for Santa to come drop our presents. The Boston Bruins are no different than we are, and they will be hoping that Santa is awfully good to them this time around. Like all of us, GM Don...
