The Bruins hit another low point in a 5–4 loss to Detroit, playing listless, sloppy hockey for most of the night.

Bruins Resume the Rivalry vs Habs, Fight for First Place | Snap Shot 62
The Bruins outlast the Canadiens 3–2 in a fiery rivalry game filled with fights, big moments, and big concerns. Khusnutdinov, Lohrei, and Arvidsson (200th goal) score, Swayman closes the door late, and Boston jumps to first in the Atlantic.

Bruins Win Seventh Straight as Pastrnak Scores 400th Goal | Snap Shot 61
🎙️The Boston Bruins are officially on a heater — seven straight wins and another statement game against the Toronto Maple Leafs. David Pastrňák hit the 400-goal milestone (and 401 for good measure), Jeremy Swayman steadied the net, and Nikita Zadorov continued his campaign to make the league afraid again. With Toronto in the rear-view and Ottawa up next, the Bruins look confident, physical, and united under Marco Sturm’s system.

Boston Bruins are Finding Ways to Win, but Can They Hold the Standard? | Ep. 116
🎙️ The Bruins hit November 10 in a playoff spot. The vibe has shifted from chaos to accountable hockey: Sturm set the standard, Arvidsson added a veteran voice, Swayman shut the door, and Boston found multiple ways to win, overtime included.
Caution flags remain: penalties, puck protection from the top line, and surviving a division-heavy grind while Mittelstadt heals and Lindholm sits on IR.

Are the Bruins a Wagon Again? | Snap Shots Episode 60
🎙️ The Boston Bruins just might be a wagon. With a 4–3 win over the Maple Leafs on Hockey Night in Canada, the Bruins extended their streak to six straight and looked every bit like a team finding its rhythm. Jeremy Swayman was outstanding in his 200th career start, bailing out a few defensive miscues while Fraser Minten iced the game against his former team. Nikita Zadorov threw another statement hit, the blue line held firm, and Boston’s confidence continues to grow under Marco Sturm.
With David Pastrnak sitting at 399 goals, all eyes now turn to Tuesday’s rematch at TD Garde...
Bruins Get Even and Stay Hot | Snap Shots Episode 59
🎙️ The Boston Bruins keep rolling; now on a five-game win streak after avenging their worst loss of the season with a gritty 3–2 OT victory over the Ottawa Senators. Pavel Zacha buried the game-winner with six seconds left in overtime off a beauty from Charlie McAvoy, who was in full beast mode. Marco Sturm’s steady hand continues to pay off as the current lineup hums along, even with Mason Lohrei still watching from above. From Sean Kuraly’s glass-jumping goal celebration to Andrew Peeke’s toughness and resilience, this was a win built on grit, structure, and patience.

Faith in the Kids: Sturm’s System Takes Hold | Snap Shots Episode 58
🎙️Marco Sturm’s young Bruins are starting to click. Marat Khusnutdinov continues to earn trust, Hampus Lindholm’s return has steadied the defense, and Jeremy Swayman once again stood tall in a 4–3 shootout win over the Islanders. Boston’s structure is finally taking shape — and it’s showing in the details.
But Thursday’s rematch with Ottawa looms large. The Senators embarrassed Boston 7–2 last time out, and with Brady Tkachuk still on IR and Linus Ullmark struggling, this is the Bruins’ chance to prove their progress is real.

Three Wins, One Message: Bank Points or Bust | Ep. 115
🎙️Maria and Karoline shake off daylight savings fatigue and dive into a pivotal week for the Boston Bruins — a team that seems to have finally found its footing after the 7–2 meltdown in Ottawa. With Marco Sturm tightening the reins, the “Bash Brothers” pairing of Zadorov and McAvoy emerging as a force, and the youth movement starting to click, the Bruins look balanced, disciplined, and dangerous again.
But as Maria says, “It’s not enough to find your game — now you have to keep it.”

The Bruins Hit Reset and It Finally Looks Right | Snap Shots Episode 57
🎙️The Boston Bruins finally played a full 60 minutes and it showed. In their most complete game of the season, the Bruins beat the Carolina Hurricanes 2-1 at TD Garden for their third straight win. Jeremy Swayman silenced any hint of a goalie controversy with a sharp performance, while Casey Mittelstadt and Viktor Arvidsson powered the offense in the third.
For the first time in weeks, the Bruins looked like a team with structure, discipline, and identity. McAvoy and Zadorov were wrecking balls on the back end, Khusnutdinov held his own on the top line, and Sturm’s adjustments are fin...
Bruins' Ugly Win is Still a Win | Snap Shot Episode 56
🎙️The Boston Bruins squeaked out another home win; this time a 4–3 OT victory over the Buffalo Sabres, thanks to Marat Khusnutdinov's first NHL goal and Joonas Korpisalo’s steady play in net. With Korpi starting back-to-back games, Marco Sturm may be sending a message: perform, and you stay in.
It wasn’t pretty. Boston was outshot 40–22 and continues to flirt with disaster on the penalty kill and power play. BUT a win is a win. Mason Lohrei remained scratched as Sturm stuck with the hot lineup, while Hampus Lindholm returned to the ice fresh off becoming a new dad.

Bruins Rise from the Ashes (At Least for a Night) | Snap Shots Episode 55
🎙️Just two games after their worst loss of the season, the Boston Bruins actually remembered how to play hockey — and delivered a much-needed 5–2 win over the New York Islanders. After a nightmare first period, Boston stormed back with five unanswered goals, powered by Elias Lindholm on the power play, Pastrnak’s spark, and Morgan Geekie’s continued hot streak. Hampus Lindholm’s return stabilized the blue line, while Mason Lohrei watched from the press box — raising questions about his role going forward. Was this the turning point the Bruins needed, or just a brief break in the chaos before facing Buffalo? We’ll fi...

Bruins Blowup: When 5 Goals Still Isn’t Enough | Snap Shots Episode 54
🎙️ The Bruins just played one of the most chaotic games in recent memory — a 7–5 disaster against the Anaheim Ducks that exposed every crack in Boston’s so-called “defensive structure.” Offense isn’t the issue; it’s the lack of accountability, direction, and basic defensive awareness. From blunders in their own zone to leadership going MIA, this was an embarrassment top to bottom. As fans stare into the abyss, the question becomes: can Marco Sturm stop the bleeding, or will management finally shake up this coaching staff before it’s too late?

Bruins Heartbreak & Heart Ache: Marchand’s Return and the Curse That Won’t Lift | Snap Shots Episode 53
🎙️The hockey gods were merciless Tuesday night. The Bruins’ 4–3 loss to Florida wasn’t just another tick in the losing column — it was an emotional gut punch. Brad Marchand’s return to TD Garden as a Panther reminded fans of what was lost and why this team feels cursed. From Lohrei’s costly turnovers to another wasted power play night, Boston let a winnable game slip away. Still, there’s fight left in this group — and they’ll need it with Anaheim up next. Can desperation finally fuel a turnaround, or will the curse deepen?

Bruins Need to Break Bad Habits Fast | Snap Shots Episode 52
🎙️ Old habits are creeping back — and it’s costing the Bruins games. After a tumultuous 6–5 loss to Vegas, Boston’s second straight defeat exposed defensive lapses, risky pinches, and costly turnovers that undid five goals of offensive effort. Marco Sturm wasn’t pleased, and neither were we because this team isn’t built for run-and-gun hockey. With back-to-backs looming against Colorado and Utah, the B’s need to tighten up fast. Can they stay disciplined, avoid penalties, and take advantage of Colorado’s goalie uncertainty? Or will the Avs and Mammoth expose Boston’s defensive cracks even further?

Is he just another bottom-six depth piece, or could his forechecking and zone entry skills shake up the lineup? With insight from Professor Moe, the hosts explore Eyssimont’s sneaky value, his surprising shot metrics, and whether he has what it takes to push players like Beecher and Kastelic for a full-time role. Could this quiet pickup turn out to be a low-key steal?
