    3/2 @NYI: Close the Barzal Down

    That's one regulation win in the books finally. Let's see if the Bruins can do it again tonight at 7:30PM against an Islanders squad with a -25 goal differential.

    2/29 VGK: Blood from a Stone

    These puns are about as good as the Bruins' clearing attempts. Anyhow, the Cup champs are in town with old friend Bruce Cassidy behind the bench. Tonight at 7:00PM.

    2/26 @SEA: You're Dunn Son

    We're on our last 10:00PM EST start tonight at Greenwash Pledge Arena. How about a regulation win?

    2/24 @VAN: Whole Hoglander

    Thought the Bs were cooked in the first period in Calgary, but they found their game and salvaged a point out of it. So the puns continue onto Vancouver, who has lost their last 4 in a row. Let's make it 5. 7:00PM EST time start to this one, which is a nice break from the late night proceedings.

    2/22 @CGY: Back to Backlund

    Not the prettiest of wins the past two games, but who cares. The Bruins got it done. Another uphill climb for two points tonight—Bruins are playing their 3rd in 4 days against a rested Flames squad that they struggled against during the homestand. A much more merciful 9:00PM EST start to this...

    2/21 @EDM: High and Draisaitl

    The good news is that the Bruins finally won a game. The bad news is that they're traveling far to face a team that, after a significant slump of their own to start the season, have been on a tear ever since. Two points don't come easy this time of year and tonight will be no exception. 10:00PM...

    2/19 DAL: We've Benn Here Before...

    The Bruins are in a deep slump right before the trade deadline you say? Everything old is new again, I guess. Speaking of which, here's my hackneyed game thread title(s). So what'll it be, a further slide into suckitude or a parade of puns out west? Tune in to find out! On that note, it's a...

    1/28 @FLA: All Barkov, No Bite

    Last year's President's Trophy winners find themselves behind Pittsburgh, Buffalo, and the Islanders for the final playoff spot in the East. In other words, the Cats have been doggin' it, and last night's loss to the Kings isn't helping their cause. And unfortunately for them, they're running...

    January NHL Game Thread

    Hurricanes-Devils is pretty entertaining hockey so far, great tempo. Canes potting a SHG, Devils equalizing with a low-angle shot that squeaked in off Kochetkov's right pad.

    Game 2 @CAR: Not So Fast

    Calming down from Monday night, I still like the B's chances. No reason to panic until you lose on home ice, as the old wisdom goes. It was a pretty close contest until Matt Grzelcyk made a foolish pinch and killed the comeback momentum. Leave the mistakes in Monday, pick yourselves up and get...

    3/1 @ANA: The Riddle of Steel

    What is best in life? To crush your enemies, see their starting goalie driven to the bench, and hear the lamentation of their fanbase. Third game in four days tonight. Dig deep and get another two points, please.

    2/28 @LAK: Where You Go, Iafallo

    The west coast road trip heads south to Los Angeles, with the competition picking up in the #2 team in the Pacific, the Kings. Another two points, please.

    2/26 @SJS: A Hertl To Overcome

    Bruins looked pretty jetlagged last time out - only mustering a 50.8% expected goals (5v5) against an abysmal Kraken squad. But they got the job done, secured 2 points and produced further reasons for optimism. DeBrusk seems energized by his 1RW assignment, as he should. Pasta is firing lasers...

    2/24 @SEA: One Bad Appleton

    Well, this is a surprise. The B's have been looking shaky at best since the "Olympic break," but they completely embarrassed one of the best teams in the league last time. They head west with my awful gamethread title gimmick and a freshly unsuspended Brad Marchand to face a frankly awful...

    2/21 COL: Take the Helm

    Bruins have been barely hanging on lately and got a tough opponent coming into town. I'll take any points out of this one.

    2/19 @OTT: Holden On (to a playoff spot)

    Last time I started a set of game threads it was following @NYCSox and it turned out pretty well. Might as well try it again. Let's see how much the B's like my terrible puns. Awful opponent tonight following a bad loss. The Bruins' goal differential is down to +1. Time to restock.

    1/18 CAR: Trocheck Yourself

    The B's finally got a couple days off after an onslaught of 9 games in 15 days. But it's right back to work tonight against another quality opponent. In the first half of this season, the Hurricanes have shown themselves to be an elite defensive team. It's time for the "new look" Bruins of...

    1/15 NSH: Don't Be A Duchene

    The B's keep racking up points, which means y'all have to put up with my terrible puns and oddball references yet again. Big test today against a division leader, and also the 9th game in 15 days. Keep playing your 2022 game, get the win, and enjoy a couple days off.

    1/13 PHI: Shots Through The Hart

    Another crappy opponent. It's time for two U's, two K's, two points.

    1/12 MTL: Petry Dish

    The B's just put up some crooked numbers on top-of-the-conference teams. Don't play down to the competition tonight and get 2 points.
