Bearly On Topic: The Boston Bruins Podcast

This week we're talking about the games you wanted us to watch and talk about against the Fancy Cats (Panthers) and the Hurricanes (Canes). Both games were tallied in the loss column for the Bruins but that doesn't mean they were bad games nor that we didn't learn something. We touch on some Bruins news including Nick Foligno, aka The Candy Corn King. Tim gives us an update on how the Providence Bruins have been doing.

We're back for season 7. NHL hockey is back and the Bruins have a perfect record so far with one game in the books. How did we think they looked against Dallas? Who did we like? Who needs some work? We also talk about the big news of the week: Charlie McAvoy's new extension. Tim brings some Providence Bruins talk as well.

We're back for the final episode of Season 6. We wrap up some Bruins news from over the past two months. There's also some Rhode Island nonsense in here inspired in part by crafty Isles GM , Lou Lamiorello. It wouldn't be complete if we didn't have some regular and bold predictions heading into the next season. We'll be back in two weeks!

This week's episode is full of foreshadowing. Don Sweeney's moves seem to dictate a need for versatility while tipping his hand to what could happen to the second line center position. *whispers* Foreshadowing! And then the news that we knew could come did and we all discuss how we feel about it.

This week we're talking about the Expansion Draft. Seattle is doing so many good things we just have to talk about it. We also talk about the Bruins draft picks in the NHL Entry Draft.

This week we talk about the first 4 games of the Bruins-Islanders playoff series. We're a little frustrated by the Isles who can really make a defensive game look pretty dull. Not 2016-2017 Ottawa Senators Neutral Zone Trap dull but still . Geoff shares the secret to Mathew Barzal's recent success. And of course, we complain about the Bruins because we can (and should).

This week, we really try (and fail) to stay on topic regarding the Bruins-Islanders playoff series. It's hard to talk about such an exciting team like the Islander...zzzzz. Anyway, we talk about how the series will go. We also talk a little bit about Wayne Gretzky's new gig and Zdeno Chara's future.

This week we're talking about the 4 playoffs games this week between the Boston Bruins and the Washington Capitals. How do we feel about the team right now? How funny is it that Chris Wagner is in Tom Wilson's head? Is Taylor Hall handsome? Find out these things and more!

This week, we talk as much as we can about the Bruins as this season is winding down. They made the playoffs! As of Sunday, we had no idea who they would face in the postseason. We wrap our heads around the situation with the New York Rangers and wtf happened against the Capitals this week. For some reason, we take an interlude to speak about pop and other forms of music because we aren't names Bearly on Topic for nothing.

This week, we revel in the week that David Krejci had, returning to his Matrix form. We also talk about the new look third line. The NHL has a couple if new broadcast partners for the next seven years and we discuss the finer details of the deals. Will it be good for the NHL? Will it help grow the game? Find out what we think.

This week we decide not to take a deep dive on the games but talk about interesting aspects of them. NIck clarifies his comments last week on the Reilly trade and we compare the trade deals this season to the 2019 deadline deals. We have a spirited discussion of what the Seventh Player Award really means as it seems that NESN has tweaked that. They have also presented a curated list of who fans can vote for: hint, it cannot be Brad Marchand. Geoff and Nick discuss the week in which relegation and the Super League were stories and how they could/ couldn't work in the US.

This week, we're talking about the exciting week of hockey that happened after the trade deadline which saw the additions of 2LW Taylor Hall, 4C Curtis Lazar, and D Mike Reilly. What do we like so far? Who do we like right now? Will Bruins hockey be fun to watch again?

This week, we're talking about the trade deadline. What we think the Bruins should do, what they will do. And of course, we're very wrong. So listen to us make fools of ourselves.

This week, we talk about how the Bruins are sidelined with several members of the team on the Covid list. We talk about the play as of late and the NHL debut of goalie Dan Vladar. Geoff describes the four states of teams in the NHL and has a radical idea for what the Bruins will do should they fail to go all in by the trade deadline.

This week we shift our focus from talking about the Bruins play to a couple of incidents that occurred over the two games against the Washington Capitals that resulted in little to no penalty time but fines or more after the games by the NHL Department of Player Safety.

This week we talk about the terrible games in New York, the one good game in New York, and how everybody hates Ryan Lindgren. Nick Ritchie fought and that was a decision he made. We also talk about defensive depth, injuries, and how you should never be ashamed to love a specific player even if they aren't a star.

This week we mostly focus on the fantastic Lake Tahoe game. Why is Pasta not the face of the NHL? Is Trent Frederic living his best life? Why are we recording on a Monday night? Also, we dip our toes into other NHL waters: Should Eichel be traded? What about McDavid? What do we think of the Artemi Panarin situation? And we talk about the game at the end of tis week. Which will the Bruins win and which will they lose?
