After the postponement of Game one between the Boston Bruins and the Carolina Hurricanes, the two teams will potentially play back to back nights twice in their first-round series. Games one and two will be played on consecutive days and if necessary, so will game five and six.

A few weeks ago, I published articles on how the Bruins were offensively and defensively this season using shot heatmaps. You can find those here and here, respectively. They haven’t looked like that team since returning to play, but I’m not worried about that given the exhibition-like nature of those games. The … Keep Reading

We are midway through December, and there is plenty of panic in Boston.
OK, can everyone just take a deep breath, please? By having the injury bug eviscerate this roster early, the Bruins may just have stumbled into their best-case scenario come the playoffs. Also, the goaltending hasn’t been the problem, … Keep Reading

The National Hockey League has passed over the American Thanksgiving – a common milestone date for tracking the progress of teams and players alike. Twenty-four games into the 2018-19 season, some major storylines have been present across the league, but even more so with the Boston Bruins.
