Bruins Blowup: When 5 Goals Still Isn’t Enough | Snap Shots Episode 54
Oct 24, 2025🎙️ 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?
Up next: a rematch with the undefeated Colorado Avalanche —...
Bruins Heartbreak & Heart Ache: Marchand’s Return and the Curse That Won’t Lift | Snap Shots Episode 53
Oct 22, 2025🎙️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?

Sturm’s message was clear: the top guys need to lead, the details need tightening, and the heart needs to keep showing.Visit OldGlory.com and use promo code TAPETOTAPE to get 15% off in store and help support the podcast.

Bruins Need to Break Bad Habits Fast | Snap Shots Episode 52
Oct 17, 2025🎙️ 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?

With one year left at a $4M cap hit, is he the low-risk, high-reward offensive jolt Boston desperately needs, or another injury-prone veteran gamble?

Is he the missing grit-and-leadership piece for Boston’s bottom six, or an overcommitted gamble on a role player?

Eyssimont: Bruins’ Sneaky Signing You Can’t Ignore | Ep. 102
Aug 06, 2025🎙️ In this episode of Bruins Tape to Tape, Karoline and Maria take a closer look at new Bruins forward Michael Eyssimont — a bargain-bin signing with top-tier speed. 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?

Nikita Zadorov and the Bruins’ Search for Identity | Ep. 101
Jul 30, 2025🎙️ In this episode of Bruins Tape to Tape, Karoline and Maria revisit the most polarizing addition to the Bruins blue line: Nikita Zadorov. Was he really a bad pickup… or did he quietly become a leader on and off the ice? The hosts unpack his league-leading penalty minutes, shocking +25 plus-minus, and the intangible leadership he brought after the trade deadline.They also discuss how the Bruins' identity crisis last season impacts expectations for 2025, and how new head coach Marco Sturm could make or break Zadorov’s future in Boston. Will a clearer role unlock his full potential — or will the chaos conti...

The Return of the (Grape) King: Jakub Lauko | Ep. 95
Jun 18, 2025🎙️ One of the key elements that Don Sweeney failed to acquire during the summer of 2024 was a player with speed; in trading away Jakub Lauko and letting Jake DeBrusk walk, there was no long a speedy presence on the roster. To our surprise (and delight), Sweeney brough back our favorite grape-loving fourth-liner. We take a look at this kid and discuss his potential future with the team.

The Philosophy of Forward Lines | Ep. 87
May 01, 2025🎙️ 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.

Out of Touch Bruins Management Team Insults Fans | Ep. 86
Apr 25, 2025🎙️ 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 no...

The players shared some tidbits about their season and our opinion of Nikita Zadorov has changed - for the better. Will Pastrnak be our next captain? How much will management stiff Morgan Geekie?

Sweeney Gaslights Us as Bruins Lose to Chicago | Snap Shots Episode 47
Apr 11, 2025🎙️ It was awards night for the team last night and, no surprise, David Pastrnak won the number 1 star for best player on the team. Geekie was awarded the third star; to the surprise of many, Swayman walked away with the number 2 star. So much good that did him, getting clobbered by three former Bruins in a loss against Chicago. Don Sweeney spoke to Judd and Brick during the game and actually criticized the team for lacking a shot-first mentality - which actively flies in the face of the company line from the last two seasons.

David Pastrnak has had a career season - made even more impressive by the fact that he didn't really get going until January, was down 2 defensemen, had half his team traded, and had a totally ineffective powerplay unit. Morgan Geekie was the first beneficiary of Pasta's re-awakening and since the trade deadline, Elias...

They showed real promise with an impressive win against Carolina, led by Pastrnak’s incredible 5-point performance and a standout effort from Morgan Geekie. But any optimism was quickly crushed the next night in Buffalo, as Boston completely unraveled during yet another painful second period. Jeremy Swayman gave us brief moments of hope, but don’t be fooled—consistency just isn't there. The Bruins head to New Jersey Tuesday night to face a Devils squad looking to lock down their playoff spot. With New Jers...

Then came the second and third periods where they simply didn't have it and might as well have not come out of the dressing rooms. Jeremy Swayman made some incredible saves but it didn't matter in the end. The Bruins host the Carolina Hurricanes on Saturday and it's sure to be a horror show. We've got 6 games left and it's going to be brutal the whole way down.

Mar 29, 2025🎙️Another day, another blowout loss—this time to the Anaheim Ducks. The Bruins are fielding what feels like an AHL squad, skating with zero emotion, zero pride, and zero hope. With the playoff dream slipping away and the product on the ice becoming borderline unwatchable, fans are left asking: is this still worth watching? The only thing left on the horizon is the lottery draft—and maybe the chance for Ovechkin to break the all-time goal record in our own building. As the team prepares for Detroit and another young, hungry opponent, this season feels like it’s spiraling into something f...

Mar 27, 2025🎙️ The Bruins are checked out and ready for summer vacation. With the collapse of the locker room culture, Swayman playing everything BUT his assigned position, and a total lack of enthusiasm on the bench, the only potential reward for such a terrible season is the legitimate shot at the top draft pick for this year. Based on how everything has NOT gone our way, though, don't be surprised if Boston ends up winning just enough games at the very end to lose out on that chance.

How the Mighty Bruins Have Fallen | Snap Shots Episode 42
Mar 24, 2025🎙️The Bruins are spiraling, and it’s getting hard to call this anything but a full-blown collapse. Questions are mounting about management’s direction, the team’s culture, and whether key players even want to stick around. With free agents unsigned, morale in the basement, and the losses piling up, we’re wondering if Boston could challenge the Sabres’ infamous losing streak. Don Sweeney’s shaky draft history adds to the unease, especially with little to look forward to in free agency. As the road trip continues in Anaheim and Detroit, is there any hope left in this season—or are we watching a o...

Bruins Put on Embarrassing Display....Again | Snap Shots Episode 41
Mar 17, 2025🎙️The Bruins are spiraling, and their season is slipping away fast. Despite adding pieces at the trade deadline, the same problems that haunted this team a month ago remain. A brutal loss to another Eastern Conference opponent highlighted Boston’s inability to generate offense, culminating in a disastrous second period with zero shots on goal.

How Do We Move on from Marchand? | Snap Shots Episode 39

Of the players on the historic run season from 2 years ago, only 5 players remain.
