Out of Touch Bruins Management Team Insults Fans
🏒 The Bruins management press conference on Wednesday morning was worse than we expected. In an unexpected turn of events, the Boston media did not kowtow to the Bruins leadership and, instead, asked some tough questions - including "why are Don and Cam still here" and "will you rescind the 4% increase in ticket prices"? Charlie Jacobs shows us that he is not actually in charge and is so out of touch that he is the embarrassment, not this team. Cam flexed his iron grip on Boston and Don came away sounding relatively competent. One thing is for certain, these three adults do not understand the definition of accountability.
The Philosophy of Forward Lines
🏒 What is the philosophy behind NHL forward lines—and does Boston even have one right now? We dive into the long-standing roles of the top 3 lines (sorry, fourth line), what each line is supposed to do, and how past Bruins teams executed this balance to near perfection. Then we look at the current roster and ask: who’s actually filling these roles—and who’s leaving a gaping hole in the lineup? This episode is one part hockey theory, one part forensic analysis, and a whole lot of wishful thinking that Don Sweeney understands any of it.
NHL Draft Lottery Watch Party
🏒 It's the first time any of us have paid attention to the Draft Lottery and it shows. We live react to the drawing with some special guests and have fun guessing what happens next.
Defining Defense: How the Bruins Can Re-Build
🏒 Moe joins us again to share his doctrine of defense - what makes ideal defensive pairings, what the Bruins have to work with in the offseason, and how they need to build back better and return the team to it's strong defensive identity.
Bruins: A Failure of Power Play Principles
🏒 What makes a good power play? What were the Bruins supposed to be doing out there all year? Do they have the personnel to turn their power play system around? Learn more this week with us and our friend Moe!
Whatever Happened to the Bruins' Penalty Kill?
🏒 The Boston Bruins have been known for their incredible penalty kill for years - until this last season when it suddenly dried up. With the departure of captain Brad Marchand as well as the recent retirements of Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci, this team no longer looks like it once did. Can they reclaim their spot atop the PK pole? Or will it take much longer to figure this problem out? Join us for our final segment with professor Moe and read about his philosophies more here!
