Signs The Bruins Are Finding Identity Under Sturm

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 3 Nov 2025 14:58:23 +0000

Host Ian McLaren breaks down Boston's 2-1 victory over Carolina, highlighting Jeremy Swayman's bounce-back performance and the dominant pairing of Charlie McAvoy and Nikita Zadorov. The episode examines Marco Sturm's coaching philosophy through Mason Lohrei's benching—a clear message about defending before creating. McLaren analyzes the team's three-game winning streak while acknowledging they remain at .500 with the lowest point percentage in the Eastern Conference. Jonathan Aspirot earns Bruin of the Day honors for his steady, under-the-radar play filling in on the blue line. With secondary scoring emerging from Casey Mittelstadt and Victor Arvidsson, plus upcoming divisional matchups against the Islanders, Senators, and Maple Leafs, the Bruins face a critical stretch to prove this defensive reset is sustainable.

Khusnutdinov's OT Heroics: Have the Bruins Found Their Spark?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 31 Oct 2025 14:56:30 +0000

The Boston Bruins secured a thrilling 4-3 overtime victory against the Buffalo Sabres, with Marat Khusnutdinov netting his first goal of the season as the hero. After being a healthy scratch for over a week, Khusnutdinov seized his opportunity on the first line alongside Elias Lindholm and David Pastrnak. Morgan Geekie's scorching streak continued with his ninth goal in six consecutive games, keeping pace with Pastrnak as the NHL's top scorers since January. Joonas Korpisalo earned his second straight start over Jeremy Swayman, validating coach Marco Sturm's decision to ride the hot hand. The win marks three victories in four games for Boston, though concerns linger after Lindholm left with a lower body injury. Despite being outshot 40-22 and dominated in underlying metrics, the Bruins found a way to win. They face a tough test Saturday afternoon against the high-powered Carolina Hurricanes, who lead the NHL in goals per game.

Atlantic Division Power Rankings: Why Boston Can't Escape Last Place

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 30 Oct 2025 14:41:17 +0000

The Boston Bruins sit dead last in the Atlantic Division despite several powerhouse teams struggling alongside them. Ian McLaren breaks down the division's bottom-dwellers—including Toronto, Florida, and Ottawa—all hovering at .500 while Boston languishes below with a 5-7 record and the worst goal differential. He previews tonight's crucial matchup against Buffalo, a vulnerable opponent the Bruins desperately need to beat. Meanwhile, the Providence Bruins are flying at 7-0, led by Riley Tufte's scorching 11 points in seven games. McLaren makes a compelling case for recalling Tufte and shaking up the NHL roster, questioning whether struggling players deserve their spots over red-hot AHL performers. With defensive issues plaguing both Swayman and Korpisalo, and special teams becoming critical, the Bruins face a pivotal stretch that could define their season's trajectory.

Buyers or Sellers? Bruins’ Comeback Win Raises Bigger Questions

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 29 Oct 2025 15:15:00 +0000

The Boston Bruins are fighting to stay relevant in a season full of turbulence. Despite sitting at the bottom of the Eastern Conference, back-to-back wins have sparked a hint of optimism — capped by a 5–2 comeback victory over the Islanders. Hampus Lindholm’s return gave the defense new life, while Morgan Geekie’s red-hot streak — now eight goals and counting — continues to drive the offense. The power play came through with two key tallies, signaling long-awaited progress on special teams.

Host Ian McLaren breaks down how this win fits into the bigger question surrounding the Bruins: Are they clawing back into the playoff race, or inching closer to a strategic reset? Trade rumors continue to swirl around Pavel Zacha and Casey Mittelstadt, though sources indicate management still views Zacha as part of the long-term core. With David Pastrnak in his prime and the team’s direction uncertain, Boston faces a defining moment — stay the course and push for contention, or embrace a full retool for the future.

It’s Opening Night for the Boston Bruins — and this season feels like a toss up.

Piss and Vinegar: The Bruins' New Blueprint Success

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 7 Oct 2025 14:10:43 +0000

The Boston Bruins are embracing a new identity under head coach Marco Sturm — one built on structure, accountability, and, as Cam Neely put it, “a little piss and vinegar.”

Ian McLaren breaks down the key takeaways from the Bruins’ start-of-season press conference:

Why Don Sweeney says this team will “play the players that are playing the best.”
How Fraser Minten earned the 3C job and reshaped the lineup.
What Zdeno Chara’s mentorship means for the leadership group.
And how Boston plans to win tight, physical 2-1 games with defense, special teams, and grit.

Plus: the front office’s faith in the fanbase, and why the pressure to perform in Boston never goes away.

Boston Bruins Final Roster Breakdown: Grit Over Skill AGAIN?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 6 Oct 2025 14:23:14 +0000

The Boston Bruins have made their final roster decisions — and they’re choosing grit over skill once again. Jeffrey Viel beats out Matej Blümel and Matthew Poitras for the last forward spot, signaling Marco Sturm and Don Sweeney’s commitment to a heavy, hard-to-play-against identity heading into the 2025-26 NHL season.

Host Ian McLaren breaks down what Viel’s inclusion means for Boston’s lineup philosophy, the ripple effects for Poitras and Blümel, and whether the Bruins risk losing scoring depth for free.

Then, Jeremy Swayman’s 30-save performance in a 4-1 preseason win over the New York Rangers proves he’s ready to anchor the team’s redemption campaign. We also highlight Nikita Zadorov’s two goals, Fraser Minten’s breakout play, and the new Bruins defensive pairings featuring Mason Lohrei, Charlie McAvoy, and Hampus Lindholm.

Finally, we zoom out to the big question: Is this a redemption story or a repeat of last year’s struggles? Can Marco Sturm’s structured system and Don Sweeney’s roster philosophy coexist with the offensive creativity Boston needs to compete in 2025-26?

How Is David Pastrnak Not Top 10?!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 3 Oct 2025 13:59:44 +0000

David Pastrnak has been left out of the NHL’s Top 10 player rankings again — sitting at No. 11 despite leading the league in goals over the past three seasons.

Host Ian McLaren breaks down why Pastrnak deserves Top 5 recognition, reacts to Charlie McAvoy being ranked 38th and Jeremy Swayman 85th, and recaps the Boston Bruins’ 3-1 preseason win over the Washington Capitals.

Brett Harrison scored twice in his debut, Joonas Korpisalo stopped 33 of 34 shots, and Don Sweeney announced new roster cuts as the team gets closer to opening night.

Pastrnak Shines, Swayman Rusty, Kuraly Scores Emotional Goal

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 30 Sep 2025 14:15:33 +0000

David Pastrnak returned to preseason action looking sharp, picking up an assist and throwing his weight around, while Jeremy Swayman made his first start in net with a mix of highlight saves and costly mistakes.

The Bruins rolled out their “dress rehearsal” lineup in a 3-2 shootout loss to the Flyers, showing encouraging signs on defense and special teams but continued uncertainty in the middle six.

The emotional highlight of the night came from Sean Kuraly, who scored in his TD Garden return just weeks after the passing of his father, Miami University Hall of Famer Rick Kuraly.

Host Ian McLaren breaks down Pastrnak’s impressive debut, Swayman’s performance, and Kuraly’s meaningful goal, plus what it all means for Boston’s roster with just a week to go before opening night.

Lindholm's Return, Preseason Progress, Playoff Prospects

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 29 Sep 2025 15:23:43 +0000

Hampus Lindholm returned to the Boston Bruins lineup for the first time since fracturing his patella last November, and Marco Sturm says the team finally played with the kind of detail he’s been demanding. Dalton Bancroft continues to impress after his standout career at Cornell, John Beecher scored a key goal, and Group A’s lineup looked almost identical to what we’ll see on opening night.

But oddsmakers still aren’t convinced, giving Boston just a 20% playoff probability — 15th in the Eastern Conference. Is that fair, or are the Bruins being underrated heading into 2025–26?

Ian McLaren breaks it all down on today’s Locked On Boston Bruins: Sturm’s blueprint, roster battles, Bancroft’s rise, Beecher’s goal, and why sportsbooks may be underestimating the B’s.

Bruins Separate NHLers from Bubble Guys + Zdeno Chara Returns

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 26 Sep 2025 15:34:04 +0000

The Boston Bruins made their first real roster split on Thursday at Warrior Ice Arena, with Marco Sturm separating NHL regulars from bubble hopefuls as camp cuts loom. Ian McLaren breaks down what it means for players like Fabian Lysell and Johnny Beecher, while also examining the decision to move Matt Poitras to wing alongside Casey Mittelstadt and Tanner Jeannot.

Plus, the Bruins announced that Zdeno Chara is returning to the organization as a Hockey Operations Advisor and Mentor. Ian explains how Chara’s leadership and legacy will impact the current roster and young defensemen like Mason Lohrei.

And it’s Fantasy Friday — Casey Mittelstadt is our sleeper draft target and today’s Bruin of the Day. We dig into his career context, new linemates, and why he could bounce back in Boston as both a late-round fantasy steal and a pivotal 2C.

Boston Bruins’ Best & Worst-Case Scenarios for 2025-26

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 25 Sep 2025 14:11:55 +0000

What’s the best- and worst-case scenario for the Boston Bruins this season? Host Ian McLaren breaks it down on today’s Locked On Boston Bruins. The nightmare? Missing the playoffs by a single point — stuck in hockey purgatory with no playoff run and no draft lottery reward. The dream? Either winning the Stanley Cup or winning the 2026 NHL Draft Lottery, where elite prospects like Gavin McKenna, Keaton Verhoeff, and Ivar Stenberg headline a loaded class to join James Hagens in Boston’s future core. Most realistically, the Bruins project as a playoff team with limitations, leaning on Jeremy Swayman’s bounce-back, David Pastrňák’s prime years, and the kids vs. veterans depth battle in Marco Sturm’s first season as head coach.

Host Ian McLaren breaks down Mikey Eyssimont’s three-point third period, Joonas Korpisalo’s full 60-minute test amid glaring defensive miscues, and why Matěj Blümel, Casey Mittelstadt, and Marat Khusnutdinov are pushing for roster spots while Fabian Lysell and Matt Poitras remain on the bubble.

Pastrňák’s Knee, The Athletic’s 79-Point Projection, Depth Concerns

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 23 Sep 2025 14:22:42 +0000

David Pastrňák is back at Boston Bruins training camp after missing the opening days with knee tendinitis. He insists it’s nothing new — he played through it last season while posting 106 points — but should fans be concerned about his long-term health?

Host Ian McLaren breaks down Pastrňák’s return, including Marco Sturm’s reaction and the impact on Boston’s top line with Elias Lindholm and Morgan Geekie.

Then, The Athletic’s 2025–26 season preview projects the Bruins for just 79 points (27th overall) and a 16% playoff chance. Why do national analysts see Boston as closer to the draft lottery than the postseason? Ian digs into the concerns about Charlie McAvoy’s regression, Jeremy Swayman’s inconsistency, and a lack of scoring depth.

Finally, we look at today’s practice line combinations and wrap up with a Bruin of the Day spotlight on Torey Krug, who is officially at peace after a career-ending ankle surgery.

Sloppy Start for Sturm’s Boston Bruins: What We Learned from Loss to Capitals

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 22 Sep 2025 14:28:11 +0000

The Boston Bruins opened their preseason with a 5-2 loss to the Washington Capitals, and it wasn’t pretty. Defensive miscues and Michael DiPietro’s shaky outing overshadowed Marco Sturm’s debut behind the bench. Host Ian McLaren breaks down what went wrong in the D-zone, why DiPietro may have missed his chance to seize the backup goalie role, and how it ties into the Bruins’ “redemption or repeat” storyline for 2025-26.

There were positives, though — Morgan Geekie scored on the top line with Elias Lindholm and Viktor Arvidsson, the Bruins played with more pace, and youngsters like Fraser Minten, Matt Poitras, and Frederic Brunet made a push for NHL jobs. Most importantly, Charlie McAvoy returned to action for the first time since February, logging over 21 minutes and immediately stabilizing the blue line.

Sturm’s Locker Room Shake-Up Sparks New Era For Bruins

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 19 Sep 2025 14:05:18 +0000

On today’s episode of Locked On Boston Bruins, Ian McLaren breaks down the biggest takeaways from Day 1 of training camp at Warrior Ice Arena.

Culture Reset: Head coach Marco Sturm is tearing down old locker room hierarchies by mixing veterans and prospects, with Nikita Zadorov praising the change as a way to build real chemistry from Day 1.

Pastrnak’s Tendinitis: David Pastrnak was the lone absence due to a precautionary knee issue, though Sturm stressed it’s not serious and Pasta was even skating on his own.

Line Combos: From Viktor Arvidsson filling in on the top line to Fraser Minten centering Fabian Lysell and Johnny Beecher, Ian analyzes what these “way-too-early” lines reveal about Sturm’s blueprint.

New Faces: Matěj Blümel explains why he chose Boston, betting on opportunity and Czech camaraderie, while Sean Kuraly returns as a veteran depth piece and earns our Bruin of the Day spotlight.

It’s a new season, a new vibe, and maybe a new Bruins identity.

Bruins Should Reunite Andersson, Kadri with Other Former Flames

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 15 Sep 2025 14:03:42 +0000

The Boston Bruins already have Nikita Zadorov and Elias Lindholm in black and gold — but could a full Calgary reunion be on the horizon? Host Ian McLaren talks about the possibility of adding Rasmus Andersson and Nazem Kadri:

Why Andersson would instantly stabilize Boston’s blue line, but comes with only one guaranteed season before free agency in 2026.

The real price of adding Kadri at $7M through 2029, including moving out Pavel Zacha and Casey Mittelstadt to fit the cap.

How Zadorov’s leadership and Lindholm’s steady presence could tie this Calgary connection together.

Would this be the bold gamble Boston needs to redeem itself — or a dangerous repeat of past mistakes?

Kaprizov Turns Down $128M - Pastrnak’s Deal Looks Even Better

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 11 Sep 2025 14:04:08 +0000

Kirill Kaprizov just rejected an eight-year, $128M contract extension from the Minnesota Wild — the richest deal in NHL history. Meanwhile, the Boston Bruins have David Pastrnak locked in long-term at $11.25M AAV, despite outproducing Kaprizov across the board the last three seasons.

In this episode of Locked On Boston Bruins, Ian McLaren dives into:

Why Kaprizov said no to $128M and how the rising salary cap changes superstar contracts.

The loaded 2026 UFA class (Connor McDavid, Jack Eichel, Kaprizov, Kyle Connor, Artemi Panarin, Adrian Kempe, Martin Necas, and more).

How Boston’s $83M in cap commitments stack up — including bargain deals for Pastrnak, Charlie McAvoy, and Jeremy Swayman, alongside tougher contracts like Lindholm, Jeannot, and Zadorov.

Bruin of the Day: Cameron Clarke — the defenseman Boston drafted with a pick tied to Kaprizov, now building his career behind the bench.

Could McDavid hit $18M AAV in 2026? Is Pastrnak already the best-value superstar contract in the NHL? And do the Bruins have enough flexibility to build around their core?

NO GUARANTEES: Sweeney’s Standards for Bruins Training Camp

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 10 Sep 2025 15:13:48 +0000

Boston Bruins GM Don Sweeney set the tone for the 2025–26 season at the team’s annual golf outing, stressing that nothing will be handed out at training camp — every spot must be earned. He outlined a reset built on better health, stronger defensive structure, and much-needed special teams improvements, while leaning on stars like David Pastrnak, Charlie McAvoy, and Jeremy Swayman to lead the charge. Sweeney also left the door open for PTO signings to fuel even more competition, setting the stage for a battle between veterans and prospects. On today’s podcast, Ian McLaren breaks down how this mandate for higher standards could shape camp — with a spotlight on new signing Matej Blümel, the AHL’s leading goal scorer, who could be Boston’s surprise weapon in their quest to rebound.

Special Teams Will Make or Break the Bruins’ Season

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 9 Sep 2025 16:49:06 +0000

Boston’s special teams were a disaster last season — ranking near the bottom of the NHL on both the power play and penalty kill — and it cost them any shot at competing. On today’s Locked On Boston Bruins, Ian McLaren breaks down just how badly those struggles hurt the team’s goal differential and standings, and why improvement is non-negotiable in 2025-26.

He also examines how new head coach Marco Sturm and assistant coach Steve Spott plan to overhaul the offense and special teams, highlighting how players like David Pastrnak, Elias Lindholm, and Mason Lohrei could be deployed in new roles. Plus, with the Prospects Challenge in Buffalo around the corner, McLaren spotlights Fraser Minten as Boston’s most intriguing young player to watch.

It’s a deep dive into what went wrong, what needs to change, and why fixing special teams is the key to a true redemption season for the Bruins.

Bruins Risk Leaving Wins on the Table — Just Like They Did With Dryden

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 8 Sep 2025 14:18:02 +0000

The Boston Bruins MUST learn from their past. With Ken Dryden’s passing this weekend, we’re reminded of how Boston once undervalued a young star and handed Montreal the backbone of a dynasty.

Now, in 2025–26, Marco Sturm and Don Sweeney face a similar choice: lean on stopgap veterans like Jeannot, Arvidsson, and Kuraly — or trust Mason Lohrei, Fraser Minten, Fabian Lysell, and the next generation.

On today’s episode:

Why the Kids vs Veterans depth war will define the Bruins’ season.

How Don Sweeney’s grit-over-skill philosophy (see: Beleskey, Backes) keeps blocking Boston’s upside.

And today’s Bruin of the Day: Ken Dryden — a legend who could have backstopped Boston to multiple Cups in the ’70s.

This isn’t just about the past. The Bruins can’t afford to undervalue young talent again, or risk wasting another era of Pastrnak and McAvoy.

Swayman Dialed In, Tuning Out The Haters

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 5 Sep 2025 16:33:19 +0000

Jeremy Swayman is heading into Boston Bruins training camp with confidence and swagger — even calling himself “a completely different human being” in third person. After last year’s struggles and heavy fan criticism, the 26-year-old goalie looks locked in following a gold medal performance at the World Championships.

Host Ian McLaren explains why Swayman is ready to rebound, why goalies in Boston always take the heat, and how Tuukka Rask’s career proves that even the best aren’t immune from critics.

Boston Bruins Hitting Reset: No Captain. New Coach. Fresh Start?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 4 Sep 2025 14:16:37 +0000

For the first time in 20 years, the Boston Bruins are starting a season without a captain. Ian McLaren breaks down why the team is going with a leadership-by-committee approach, with David Pastrnak and Charlie McAvoy front and center. Pastrnak’s 106-point season, early arrival at camp, and renewed mindset prove he’s already the Bruins’ true leader. Plus, Bruin of the Day spotlights Marco Sturm — a familiar face and first-time NHL head coach — tasked with building structure, grit, and buy-in to pull Boston out of last year’s basement finish.

Elias Lindholm’s Redemption Will Define the Bruins’ Season

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 2 Sep 2025 14:06:37 +0000

Elias Lindholm admitted last year with the Boston Bruins was “a season I’d rather forget.” Now, entering the 2025–26 NHL season healthy and motivated, Lindholm is determined to redeem himself — and that redemption will define whether the Bruins bounce back into playoff contention.

Host Ian McLaren breaks down:

- Why Lindholm struggled in his first season with Boston (injuries, missed camp, distractions).

- His outlook on a healthier lineup featuring David Pastrnak, Charlie McAvoy, and Viktor Arvidsson.

- Why Lindholm’s redemption is central to the Bruins’ success in 2025–26.

Plus: Bruin of the Day is Marat Khusnutdinov (#92). The 22-year-old forward, acquired at the 2025 trade deadline and signed to a new two-year extension, brings speed, energy, and responsible two-way play to the Bruins’ lineup.

Bruins Will Smash 76.5 Point Projection (Season 7 Premiere)

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 1 Sep 2025 15:05:39 +0000

The Boston Bruins are being disrespected by oddsmakers. FanDuel has set their 2025–26 over/under at 76.5 points — the same total they finished with last year when they were last in the Eastern Conference.

In the Season 7 premiere of Locked On Boston Bruins, host Ian McLaren explains why this line is too low and why betting the over is the smart play.

On today’s show:

Segment 1: Why 76.5 is an insult — the Bruins aren’t the same team that limped through last year.

Segment 2: Health, second-year stability for Elias Lindholm and Nikita Zadorov, offseason additions like Victor Arvidsson, Tanner Jeannot, Matej Blümel, and Alex Steeves, plus internal growth from Morgan Geekie and Marat Khusnutdinov — all reasons Boston’s floor is higher. Add in All-Star goalie Jeremy Swayman, and this isn’t a 76-point roster.

Segment 3: Bruin of the Day debuts with the one and only Bobby Orr. Ian shares a personal story about seeing an incredible Orr memorabilia collection, reflects on his complicated legacy, and explains why Orr remains the DNA of the franchise.

Boston might be a bubble playoff team in a tough Atlantic Division — Toronto, Florida, and Tampa are strong, and Ottawa and Montreal are pushing up — but 76.5 is still too low. Tune in daily for analysis, stats, storytelling, and fan perspective on your team, every day.

End of Summer Mailbag: Playoff Push or Another Lost Season?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 22 Aug 2025 15:21:57 +0000

The Locked On Boston Bruins podcast dives into the team’s uncertain position between retooling and competing. Host Ian McLaren breaks down the offseason moves — from new head coach Marco Sturm to veteran additions like Viktor Arvidsson, Tanner Jeannot, and Sean Kuraly.

We tackle the Bruins’ biggest questions:

Can the roster construction support both immediate competitiveness and long-term growth?

Which prospects — including James Hagens, Fraser Minten, and Matthew Poitras — are most likely to make an impact?

How crucial is a healthy defense led by Charlie McAvoy and Hampus Lindholm?

Can Jeremy Swayman handle the full-time starter’s workload in net?

It’s a comprehensive outlook on the Bruins’ present and future — from offensive depth and leadership voids to goaltending stability and prospect development.

Bruins Rumors: Fabian Lysell Linked to Oilers Trade Talks

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 21 Aug 2025 13:58:32 +0000

On today’s Locked On Boston Bruins, Ian McLaren dives into the latest trade chatter linking Fabian Lysell to the Edmonton Oilers. Would Boston move their 2021 first-round pick—and should they? Ian explains why the Bruins would jump at the chance if top prospect Matt Savoie were on the table, but also why that scenario is highly unlikely given Savoie’s upside and Edmonton’s roster needs.

Plus, Jeremy Swayman speaks out on last season’s frustrations and why he’s confident about the year ahead. Ian breaks down Swayman’s mindset, his new contract, and what his trajectory could mean for both the Bruins and Team USA at the 2026 Olympics.

Bruins’ Biggest Weakness: Who's Scoring Beyond Pastrnak?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 19 Aug 2025 14:20:34 +0000

The Boston Bruins know David Pastrnak will light the lamp this season - but who’s going to help him carry the load? Host Ian McLaren breaks down Boston’s biggest scoring concerns heading into 2025–26, from the fallout of Brad Marchand’s departure to whether Morgan Geekie can sustain last season's scoring surge.

Ian also digs into internal options who could surprise like Fabian Lysell, Matt Poitras, and Fraser Minten, plus potential PTO targets like Victor Olofsson, Jacob Vrana, and Robby Fabbri who might bring much-needed secondary scoring.

With questions about offensive depth beyond the top line, this is a crucial storyline for the Bruins if they want to stay competitive in the Eastern Conference.

Bruins Can’t Keep Korpisalo: Buy Him Out or Bury Him?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 18 Aug 2025 14:39:17 +0000

The Boston Bruins cannot afford to go into the 2025–26 season with Joonas Korpisalo as Jeremy Swayman’s backup.

On today’s episode of Locked On Boston Bruins, Ian McLaren breaks down why Korpisalo’s contract and play are holding the team back, compares the pros and cons of a buyout vs. burying his deal in Providence, and explains why Michael DiPietro — fresh off an AHL Goaltender of the Year campaign and a new two-year, one-way contract — is the obvious replacement at a lower cap hit.

Whether it’s trade, buyout, or bury, the Bruins must move on from Korpisalo by any means necessary if they want to avoid another disastrous season.

3 Locks, 2 Maybes: Boston Bruins in the Locked On NHL’s Top 100

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 14 Aug 2025 15:35:19 +0000

The Locked On NHL Top 100 list is coming — and if it doesn’t include these Boston Bruins, the rankings are broken. David Pastrnak is a Top 10 player in the league, Charlie McAvoy is a top defenseman, and Jeremy Swayman is (still) one of the NHL’s best goalies. Those three are locks. But what about Hampus Lindholm and Morgan Geekie? Ian McLaren makes the case for why both deserve consideration based on recent performance, impact, and upside — and why leaving them out could be a big mistake. We’ll also compare Boston’s elite talent to other top NHL teams like the Colorado Avalanche, Florida Panthers, New York Rangers, Edmonton Oilers, and Tampa Bay Lightning — clubs that could have 5+ players on the Top 100 list. What does this say about the Bruins’ roster, their ability to contend in the Atlantic Division, and the moves Don Sweeney still needs to make? This is your definitive Bruins ballot for the Locked On NHL Top 100, with in-depth analysis, stats, and context that you won’t get anywhere else.

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 5 Aug 2025 14:17:49 +0000

The Boston Bruins have played in some of the NHL’s most iconic outdoor games—and won most of them. But which ones stood the test of time?

On today’s episode of Locked On Boston Bruins, host Ian McLaren ranks all five official outdoor games the B’s have played, from the snowy spectacle at Fenway in 2010 to the postcard-perfect (but fanless) showdown at Lake Tahoe.

Tougher, But Better? Breaking Down Bruins’ Free Agency Moves

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 2 Jul 2025 14:22:11 +0000

The Boston Bruins made a flurry of free agent signings on July 1, but did Don Sweeney do enough to improve a roster that finished last in the Eastern Conference?

Host Ian McLaren breaks down the front office’s strategy and comments, starting with the addition of Victor Arvidsson and the controversial five-year deal for Tanner Jeannot. In Segment 1, we dig into why these two players were targeted, what Sweeney said about toughness and protection for younger players, and whether these moves align with his offseason pledge to boost scoring.

In Segment 2, Ian evaluates the rest of Boston’s free agent signings — including Sean Kuraly, Michael Eyssimont, Matej Blumel, Alex Steeves, Jordan Harris, and Riley Tufte — and how they increase internal competition. Sweeney emphasized “guys who drag others into the fight,” but have these depth additions squeezed out players like Matt Poitras, Fabian Lysell, and Georgii Merkulov?

In Segment 3, Ian compares the projected 2025-26 lineup with last year’s Opening Night roster and asks the big question: Are the Bruins actually any better now? With more grit but not a lot more scoring, and prospects still facing a blocked path to NHL minutes, the Bruins may be set for another season of stagnation.

Is this another Matt Beleskey or David Backes situation in the making? And did the Bruins really learn anything from last year’s failures?

Host Ian McLaren evaluates each signing — including Tanner Jeannot, Sean Kuraly, and Michael Eyssimont — with a thumbs-up or thumbs-down approach. He questions the length and value of Jeannot’s five-year deal, especially given Boston’s stated focus on adding offense.

The episode also explores the ripple effect on top prospects like Matthew Poitras, Fabian Lysell, and Georgii Merkulov — and whether these new additions are blocking the path to NHL opportunities. McLaren offers a full assessment of Don Sweeney’s offseason strategy so far, praising the smart depth adds while raising concerns about long-term development being sacrificed for short-term grit.

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 9 Jun 2025 15:26:50 +0000

Brad Marchand is chasing a Stanley Cup with the Florida Panthers, but what if the Bruins had taken a different path?

Trading him—either to Florida or somewhere with a better return

What the Bruins Will Look Like in a Month: Sturm, O’Brien & Cap Space

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 28 May 2025 15:33:04 +0000

A month from now, the Boston Bruins could look very different — and today, we’re breaking down exactly how.

Segment 1: Marco Sturm is officially behind the bench. We dive into why the Bruins chose the former fan favorite, what he brings as a coach, and how his development success in LA with players like Quinton Byfield and Brandt Clarke fits Boston’s new direction.

Segment 2: Meet Jake O’Brien — Boston’s 2025 first-round pick. He may not have the flashiest highlight reel, but he’s the kind of responsible, high-IQ center the Bruins desperately need. We break down his game, his upside, and how he could fit in under Sturm.

Segment 3: Cap crunch time. With over $26M to start, we project how the Bruins can shape their roster while still having $10M+ in flexibility. Who gets re-signed, who’s out, and what the opening night lineup could look like — including the trade of Korpisalo and promotion of DiPietro.

Why Boston Bruins' penalty issues are costing them games

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 25 Oct 2024 16:01:17 +0000

Are the Boston Bruins facing a crisis? With a 5-2 loss to the Dallas Stars, Coach Jim Montgomery and captain Brad Marchand are calling for a shift in attitude and respect for the game. The Bruins, leading the NHL in minor penalties at 5.6 per game, are struggling to maintain their performance, putting extra pressure on their penalty kill unit.

Key players like Brad Marchand, Charlie Coyle, and Trent Frederic are underperforming, with Marchand yet to score this season. Speculation surrounds Jim Montgomery's job security, as management and ownership prepare for tough conversations. The upcoming clash with the Toronto Maple Leafs is crucial, with both teams under scrutiny early in the season.

Will the Bruins turn their season around? Tune in for an engaging discussion on the team's challenges and potential strategies for success.

Bruins' Coaching vs. Roster: Who's to Blame for Struggles?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 24 Oct 2024 14:37:23 +0000

Is Jim Montgomery's Role with the Boston Bruins in Jeopardy? The Boston Bruins are off to a shaky start with a 3-3-1 record and a concerning negative goal differential. Could head coach Jim Montgomery be on thin ice?

This episode explores the Bruins' offensive struggles, highlighting the impact of personnel changes. Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren dives into the criticism surrounding Montgomery's coaching tactics, including his controversial line shuffling and focus on high-danger chances over shot volume.

The discussion also touches on whether the blame lies with Montgomery or GM Don Sweeney's roster decisions. As the Bruins prepare to face the formidable Dallas Stars, boasting a 5-2 record, the stakes are high.

Bruins 4-0 Loss to Predators: Trusting the process or time for action?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 23 Oct 2024 15:45:41 +0000

The Boston Bruins are grappling with a significant penalty issue, having taken 40 minor penalties in just seven games. This "discipline issue," as Coach Montgomery describes it, is disrupting their game flow and raising concerns.

Their recent loss to the Predators highlights these struggles, with only one goal scored in their last six periods plus overtime. The team is exploring potential personnel changes, including the possibility of bringing in Tyler Johnson or recalling prospect Fabian Lysell to boost their offense. As new players acclimate to the Bruins' system, leadership is crucial in implementing the coach's strategies and reducing penalties.

Will the Bruins' leadership step up to guide the team through this challenging period? Tune in for an in-depth discussion on the Bruins' path forward and potential solutions to their current challenges.

Are the Bruins a Top 4 Team in the Atlantic?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 22 Oct 2024 16:19:33 +0000

Don't look now (or do, whatever), but the Boston Bruins are slightly outside the top 4 in the Atlantic Division in terms of point percentage.

Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren updates the Atlantic Division power rankings for the first time this season, and wonders whether the Ottawa Senators could possibly bump the black and gold out of the top 4 in the division.

What We Know About the Bruins After 5 Games

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 18 Oct 2024 15:20:33 +0000

Here's what we know about the 2024-25 Boston Bruins through 5 games: they're a decent playoff level team that struggles to score and isn't as strong defensively as most think.

They're likely a playoff team without true Stanley Cup hopes, but who knows what can happen once in the postseason?

When you have a core of Jeremy Swayman, Charlie McAvoy, David Pastrnak, and Brad Marchand, you go for it as much as possible.

Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren discusses the scoring and defensive issues and early conclusions we can draw about this team, and also previews Saturday's tilt with Utah HC.

Bruins 4th Line Bookends Big Win Over Avs + New Jerseys!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 17 Oct 2024 16:07:23 +0000

Any Bruins fan penciling in a loss on Wednesday can be forgiven. The Bruins were facing a winless Avalanche club in Denver with Joonas Korpisalo in net. Still, despite giving up three power play goals, Boston came out on top thanks to continued offense from the 4th line, a couple big power play goals of their own, and yes, timely saves from Korpisalo.

Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren breaks down the key storylines, stats, and signals from an important 5-3 road win over the Colorado Avalanche.

The Bruins still need to figure out the middle 6 (as discussed on yesterday's podcast), but you take this win and run to Utah any day of the week.

Plus, the Bruins unveiled a special jersey for the Centennial Game on Dec. 1 - are they a preview of an upcoming permanent look?

How to Fix the Bruins Middle 6 + Avalanche Preview!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 16 Oct 2024 17:28:31 +0000

The Boston Bruins have a good problem in that their 4th line has been posting crazy offensive numbers so far this season. Unfortunately, their middle 6 has been very unproductive, and we can't expect Mark Kastelic, Johnny Beecher, and Cole Koepke to keep producing at this clip.

Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren discusses some options for the middle 6, including swapping Charlie Coyle and Matthew Poitras, recalling Fabian Lysell, or signing Tyler Johnson already.

Plus, a preview of tonight's game against a Colorado Avalanche team that's plain stunk to start the season but could be ripe for getting things on track against our Bruins.

Bruins Easy Prey, Even for Depleted Panthers

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 15 Oct 2024 20:45:54 +0000

Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren brings you all the storylines, stats, and signals you need to know from a 4-3 loss to the Florida Panthers on Monday.

As much as they may deny it, the Bruins clearly struggle mentally when playing the Panthers, as evidenced by the undisciplined reaction to AJ Greer hitting David Pastrnak in the first period.

This was a game in which the Bruins should have made more of a statement on the scoreboard, seeing as Florida was without Aleksander Barkov and Matthew Tkachuk. It was fairly even 5v5, but special teams let the Bruins down, and a lack of scoring from the middle two lines is becoming a problem. You simply can't rely on Johnny Beecher, Cole Koepke, and Mark Kastelic to carry the offense. Seriously, that's what's happening.

Up next: a 3 game Western Conference road trip, where the Bruins will have a chance to build on a 2-2 start if they can figure out the offense and muster more traction on the power play.

Bruins-Kings OT Win Breakdown: Poitras is a Difference Maker

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 13 Oct 2024 22:25:37 +0000

Matt Poitras made his season debut for the Boston Bruins, and wowed in what was his first game since January.

Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren breaks down the key storylines, stats, and signals from a 2-1 overtime win over the Los Angeles kings on Saturday, where Poitras continued to look like the second coming of David Krejci.

Not only did the youngster help set up the game winner from David Pastrnak (and assisted by Mason Lohrei), but Poitras excelled at both ends of the ice and drew praise from head coach Jim Montgomery.

Next, a look at some key stats, like possession dominance from the bottom 6, Elias Lindholm's offensive outburst to start the season, and 2 points combined on the second line.

Jeremy Swayman was excellent and will likely get the start against the Florida Panthers on Monday, and team without Aleksander Barkov and maybe also Matthew Tkachuk.

Bruins Beat Canadiens in Home Opener: Storylines, Stats, Signals

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 11 Oct 2024 15:16:34 +0000

Jeremy Swayman made his season debut and the new-look 4th line is clicking.

Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren breaks down the storyline, stats, and signals from a 6-4 win over the Montreal Canadiens on Thursday.

Storylines include Swayman's appreciation of Bruins fans, offensive outbursts from Cole Koepke and Mark Kastelic, and some lingering defensive issues that made the game closer than it should have been.

As for stats, here's one: newcomer Elias Lindholm leads the team with 4 points in 2 games.

The Bruins dominated periods 1 and 2, but Montreal was all over them in the 3rd. That's not something that can keep happening against upcoming opponents like Los Angeles, Florida, Colorado, Utah, and Nashville.

A few not-too-early questions to ask about these Bruins

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 10 Oct 2024 13:14:42 +0000

Yes, the Boston Bruins didn't look great in their season opening loss to the Florida Panthers, and optimism could be restored with a definitive win over the rival Montreal Canadiens in tonight's home opener.

Still, Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren has some lingering questions about the makeup of the roster and they style they play. Can they continue to succeed by prioritizing high danger shots over shot volume? Can the goaltending maintain near league-leading numbers with Jeremy Swayman and Joonas Korpisalo? Who's going to score beyond David Pastrnak, and can the supporting past be counted on to extend career highs set last year?

Plus, a preview of tonight's game vs. the Habs, a team that shut out the Toronto Maple Leafs last night.

Bruins Fall Flat in Season Opening Loss to Panthers

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 9 Oct 2024 13:52:51 +0000

Faced with an opportunity to make a statement against the Stanley Cup champions, the Boston Bruins fell flat in a season opening 6-4 loss to the Florida Panthers.

Locked on Bruins host Ian McLaren breaks down the key storylines, stats and signals from the loss, including the poor play of Joonas Korpisalo, the Bruins continuing their trend of getting out shot and out chanced, and the need for more skill over size in the lineup.

Ultimately, it's just 1 of 82, but the Bruins can't get caught up playing physically at the expense of playing responsibly.

Meanwhile, Linus Ullmark signed a 4-year extension with the Ottawa Senators worth $8.25M per season. Sound familiar?

Expectations for 2024-25 Bruins, and Could Swayman Start?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 8 Oct 2024 13:08:27 +0000

The opening night roster is set, and the Boston Bruins are out to once again prove everyone who thinks this team is in decline wrong.

Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren discusses how Cole Koepke and Riley Tufte were surprise additions over Matt Poitras (injury) and Tyler Johnson (unsigned), and whether the team defense is strong enough to make up for an apparent lack of scoring.

Boston's over / under is set at 97.5 - where will they land?

Jeremy Swayman could very well be for tonight's season opener against the Stanley Cup champion Florida Panthers, which would certainly give the club a boost.

Swayman Gets His Payday; Bruins Agree to 8 Years, $66M

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 7 Oct 2024 04:05:00 +0000

On Sunday, the Boston Bruins signed goaltender Jeremy Swayman to an 8-year contract extension through the 2031-32 season with an annual NHL cap hit of $8.25 million.

The $66M deal comes less than a week after team president Cam Neely disclosed to the media a $64M deal was on the table, and Swayman's agent said they needed a few days to regroup after the breach in confidence and a note saying his client had received no such offer.

Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren breaks down how cooler heads prevailed, and the Bruins locked up their franchise goalie for his prime years at what SHOULD prove to be a very reasonable cap hit as his ceiling - and the NHL's salary ceiling - continues to rise.

8 years is risky, but they have their man in net, and that's all that matters right now.

Plus, Brandon Bussi and Jiri Patera were put on waivers, both of whom are real candidates to be scooped.

Kings-Bruins Preseason Loss Breakdown + the Latest on Swayman

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 4 Oct 2024 15:20:22 +0000

The Boston Bruins didn't give hockey fans in Quebec City much to cheer about on Thursday other than an appearance from hometown hero Patrice Bergeron.

The Bruins were outshot by the Los Angeles Kings, and Quinton Byfield dropped a hat trick on Joonas Korpisalo.

Locked on Boston Bruins argues they simply can't count on consistent, above average goaltending from Korpisalo, which leads into the latest on Jeremy Swayman.

Other storylines include Bergeron being interested in being part of a Quebec City National Hockey League franchise.

Flyers-Bruins Breakdown + Latest on Swayman

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 2 Oct 2024 14:26:48 +0000

Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren breaks down the storylines, stats and signals from a preseason win over the Philadelphia Flyers on Tuesday, and discusses the very latest on the Jeremy Swayman contract stalemate.

Brandon Bussi put in a decent performance as the projected opening night backup, while captain Brad Marchand was forced to leave early due to illness. Justin Brazeau and Tyler Johnson both scored, though, and continue to warrant inclusion in the lineup on a regular basis.

The Bruins and Swayman are in a cooling off period but are still reportedly $1M apart in negotiations. Can the relationship be repaired or will the goalie want a fresh start elsewhere.

How the Bruins Changed the Swayman Contract Narrative

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 1 Oct 2024 13:56:08 +0000

"Well, I don't want to get into the weeds with what (Jeremy Swayman's) ask is, but I know that I have 64 million reasons why I'd be playing right now.”

With that, Boston Bruins team president Cam Neely put the team's offer on the table, turning the tables on the narrative that they're not doing enough to sign their young star goaltender.

Swayman's agent, however, denies the $64M amount, and the Bruins' preseason press conference has suddenly become the talk of the National Hockey League.

Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren breaks down Neely's comments and the response, and asks whether a deal can still be reached or if the Bruins have alienated Swayman to the point of a trade request.

Plus, what's the plan for Fabian Lysell? And will Jim Montgomery soon be extended?

What we do know is Joonas Korpisalo will be the opening night starter.

Are Elias Lindholm and Nikita Zadorov enough to keep the Boston Bruins in contention?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 30 Sep 2024 22:00:00 +0000

After years of dominating the NHL’s Atlantic Division, is this finally the year one of the Toronto Maple Leafs, Boston Bruin, Florida Panthers or Tampa Bay Lightning fall out of the playoff picture?

Bruins Preseason Game 2 Breakdown: Forward Competition Heating Up

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 25 Sep 2024 13:57:36 +0000

Following a lackluster preseason debut, Fabian Lysell impressed in a win over the Washington Capitals, specifically by drawing a penalty and scoring on the ensuing power play with a high level wrist shot.

Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren breaks down the victory by looking at the key storylines, stats, and signals.

Storylines: Lysell's improvements and Joonas Korpisalo's successful Bruins debut.

Stats: Justin Brazeau, Georgii Merkulov, Tyler Johnson appear on scoresheet, while Matt Poitras dominates in faceoff circle.

Signals: There's a battle intensifying up front, where several contenders are vying for 2nd and 3rd line roles instead of AHL assignments or press box seats for the season opener.

Bruins-Capitals Preseason Preview + Is Swayman Panic Rising?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 24 Sep 2024 13:31:33 +0000

The Boston Bruins will host the Washington Capitals in preseason action on Tuesday.

Locked on Bruins host Ian McLaren pinpoints a few players to keep an eye on, including the so far underwhelming Fabian Lysell and Georgii Merkulov as well as an always rising to the challenge Matt Poitras.

Next, one prominent hockey insider suggests panic over the Jeremy Swayman contract stalemate is rising.

Finally, David Pastrnak and Swayman will be featured in a new Amazon doc, which should prove to be a fascinating look back at last year's playoff push.

Rangers-Bruins Preseason Breakdown: Storylines, Stats, and Signals

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 23 Sep 2024 14:08:53 +0000

Boston Bruins hockey is back ... sort of!

A concept of a Bruins roster lost 3-2 to the New York Rangers on Sunday. A key storyline was the deployment of Georgii Merkulov and Fabian Lysell, both of whom underwhelmed in their bids to make the opening night roster.

Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren also digs into the key stats, including saves made and goals allowed by Brandon Bussi and faceoffs won by John Beecher.

What signals can we glean? Matthew Poitras was not in the lineup, so that's a great sign for his return to Boston over an assignment in Providence.

Bruins Remain Focused at Training Camp Without Swayman

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 20 Sep 2024 13:53:30 +0000

Boston Bruins star goaltender Jeremy Swayman is not at training camp, but it's full steam ahead for the rest of the roster hopefuls.

The Bruins did sign Kasimir Kaskisuo to a PTO, but all eyes are on Joonas Korpisalo and Brandon Bussi, as well as goalie coach Bob Essensa.

The big storylines are also up front, where a trio of Elias Lindholm, David Pastrnak, and Pavel Zacha looks very good.

Youngsters Matthew Poitras and Fabian Lysell are also looking to prove they're NHL ready.

Who's to blame for the Jeremy Swayman contract stalemate

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 19 Sep 2024 15:57:56 +0000

Jeremy Swayman is not in attendance as the Boston Bruins take to the ice for training camp on Thursday.

Who's the blame for this contract stalemate? Is it general manager Don Sweeney and Bruins management for not wanting to pay up? Or is it on the player for asking for too much, too soon?

Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren argues it's a bit of both.

Plus, what else we learned from Sweeney and head coach Jim Montgomery (who's also in need of a contract extension) on Day 1 of camp, including a goaltending contingency plan, how to incorporate new faces, the Tyler Johnson PTO and more.

Is a Jeremy Swayman Deal Imminent as Training Cap Begins?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 18 Sep 2024 13:54:26 +0000

There's a bunch of smoke out there with respect to Jeremy Swayman and the Boston Bruins agreeing to a new deal as training camp begins today.

The goaltending situation is one big question as camp opens. Even with Swayman in the mix, Locked on Bruins host Ian McLaren wonders who will be his backup seeing as both Brandon Bussi and Joonas Korpisalo require waivers to be sent down to the AHL.

Expect Swayman to play the majority of games, though.

Next, a look at the forwards, highlighted by the addition of Elias Lindholm. Will Fabian Lysell grab the 2RW spot? Will Tyler Johnson make the team? Will Matthew Poitras start in the AHL?

Fewer questions on defense, where Nikita Zadorov is ready to pop as a fan favorite.

How to Evaluate Prospects + Daily Swayman Update

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 17 Sep 2024 15:38:01 +0000

A few Boston Bruins put in very strong showings at the Prospects Challenge in Buffalo over the weekend, namely Brett Harrison and Jackson Edward. Those two have a chance at playing for the big club one day, but the likelihood is most of the guys playing over the weekend won't sniff NHL action.

Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren breaks down how to evaluate prospects, and why it's important to temper expectations. The NHL is a hard league to crack, after all.

Plus, a daily update on Jeremy Swayman, who remains unsigned, and unworthy (yet) of a big time contract according to one prominent Bruins writer.

3 Established Boston Bruins Needing Big Seasons

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 16 Sep 2024 15:08:57 +0000

While there are some new faces and young players looking to make an impact for the Boston Bruins this season, there's also 3 established guys needing big seasons for both personal and team success.

Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren breaks down why Trent Frederic, Brad Marchand, and Jeremy Swayman need to step up. Frederic is looking to establish himself as a core Bruin, Marchand is playing for a new deal and his legacy as captain, and Swayman will (ideally) be looking to justify his big new contract.

The episode ends with the very latest on that front, by the way.

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 13 Sep 2024 17:58:26 +0000

Jeremy Swayman may not be present at the start of Boston Bruins training camp. Head coach Jim Montgomery has a timeline for getting the core players ready for the season.

Plus, could Phil Kessel be a PTO option?

Why Lysell, Merkulov Aren't at Bruins' Rookie Camp

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 12 Sep 2024 13:53:17 +0000

Boston Bruins rookies gathered for a mini camp in advance of the Prospects' Challenge in Buffalo this weekend. NOT present were Fabian Lysell and Georgii Merkulov, who are being given extra time to be ready for training camp next week.

Every opportunity will be given to Lysell to play on the 2nd line with Charlie Coyle and Brad Marchand.

There are some rookies to keep an eye on, though: Riley Duran, John Farinacci, Frederic Brunet, and Trevor Kuntar.

Plus, scratch Kailer Yamamoto from a potential PTO.

Boston Bruins Defense: Training Camp Preview

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 10 Sep 2024 18:05:00 +0000

On paper, the Boston Bruins have a pretty nice group of 6 or 7 defensemen. But while the team allowed few goals last season, they were regularly outshot, and they won't have the luxury of 2 elite goalies.

Can the core 4 of Charlie McAcvoy, Brandon Carlo, Nikita Zadorov, and Hampus Lindholm lock things down for Jeremy Swayman and Joonas Korpisalo to make key saves?

Can Mason Lohrei continue to emerge as a dynamic option? And will Andrew Peeke and Parker Wotherspoon push each other for the 7th spot?

Plus, an updated look at the Prospects Challenge schedule coming up this weekend.

Bruins Forwards Training Camp Preview + PWHL Boston Name and Logo Reveal!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 9 Sep 2024 15:28:59 +0000

There will be quite a lot at stake for Boston Bruins forwards when training camp opens next week.

While the top line of Pavel Zacha, Elias Lindholm, and David Pastrnak is set, there's the question of who will play right wing alongside Charlie Coyle and Brad Marchand. Fabian Lysell will get a shot, but others will be in the mix too: Morgan Geekie, Trent Frederic, even Tyler Johnson.

That battle will help decide the bottom 6. Is a trio of Max Jones - John Beecher - Mark Kastelic a lock for the fourth line? Is Matthew Poitras going to start the season in the AHL? What about Justin Brazeau and other candidates from the AHL.

Plus, Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren discusses the PWHL Boston name and logo reveal!

Impact of Brad Marchand's 3 Offseason Surgeries

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 4 Sep 2024 15:25:04 +0000

Brad Marchand hosted a Captains' practice on Tuesday, after which he revealed he underwent 3 offseason surgeries and is behind on his normal summer training.

Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren breaks down what this means for Marchand and the team with a focus on the captain entering the final year of a very team-friendly deal through his prime offensive output years.

Marchand doesn't want to talk about his contract, and says he expects to be ready for training camp, but won't exactly becoming in hot. What's clear is he's expecting to remain a key member of the club with a view to making Team Canada for the 2026 Winter Olympics.

What a Tyler Johnson PTO Means for Bruins Training Camp

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 3 Sep 2024 15:29:20 +0000

The Boston Bruins signed veteran forward Tyler Johnson to a professional tryout over the weekend. The two-time Stanley Cup champion will come to training camp without a contract for the upcoming season and will try to earn a spot with the black and gold.

Johnson most recently played for the Chicago Blackhawks, scoring 17 goals in 67 games last season.

While he's past his prime days with the Tampa Bay Lightning, he's still got some gas in the tank, and Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren breaks down what Johnson's presence at camp means and how it could impact younger guys like Matthew Poitras, Justin Brazeay, Georgii Merkulov, and Fabian Lysell.

Plus, Brad Marchand hosted a captain's practice this morning and Jeremy Swayman was there, so that's a good sign.

Swayman's Strong Stand: Should the Bruins say yay or nay to (reported) $10M ask?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 28 Aug 2024 15:05:54 +0000

With only a few days remaining in August, the Jeremy Swayman contract saga drags on. There was a report earlier this week that's he asking for $10M annually on his deal, and while that's yet to be corroborated, recent comments made by the goaltender suggest he is indeed taking a strong stand in negotiations.

Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren breaks down Swayman's understanding that the cap is going up, his comparables, and how he can't ruin the goalie market for other guys that are going to be in his shoes down the line.

Looking at his numbers, Swayman is an elite goalie. But, he doesn't have the accolades of some of his peers. The balance is paying for what's expected vs. what's been achieved. At Swayman's age, though, surely the hardware is coming.

Plus, some comments on Andrew Raycroft's take on the challenge ahead for Swayman as the bona fide No. 1 in Boston.

It's a miscellaneous topic Friday on Locked on Boston Bruins!

Host Ian McLaren breaks down team president Cam Neely's confidence in getting a deal done with Jeremy Swayman despite reports they two sides are far apart in length and value.

Next, a look at the NHL's Top 20 center list and the lack of Bruins on it. Could Elias Lindholm make it next summer?

And are the Bruins in danger of having the wheels fall off? Probably not with Swayman, David Pastrnak, and Charlie McAvoy to build around.

What Patrik Laine to the Canadiens Means for the Bruins

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 21 Aug 2024 14:13:58 +0000

The Montreal Canadiens took a gamble by acquiring Patrik Laine from the Columbus Blue Jackets, and it's a smart one that shows how well run the Habs are and makes them more dangerous in the Atlantic Division.

Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren breaks down what Laine to the Habs means for the Bruins. For starters, it removes any possibility of the Canadiens signing Jeremy Swayman to an offer sheet. It also means the Bruins need to level up offensively to contend with all the star power in the Atlantic Division.

To that end, the Bruins are reportedly considering a PTO for Kailer Yamamoto.

Analyzing ESPN Point Projections for the 2024-25 Bruins

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 19 Aug 2024 15:17:59 +0000

ESPN has released point projections for the 2024-25 National Hockey League season, and Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren is analyzing what they're expecting from our Boston Bruins.

David Pastrnak will have another elite season to lead the team in scoring and prove he's a Hart Trophy candidate, while Charlir McAvoy needs a bump in offensive production to jump into the highest tier of defensemen.

Jeremy Swayman will have a career year in starts and wins as the clear cut #1 goalie, although he still needs a contract. He expects one to be signed soon, though, as he shared after participating in a triathlon over the weekend.

2 PTOs Boston should consider (and 1 they should avoid)

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 16 Aug 2024 15:20:07 +0000

It's PTO season in the NHL, and the Boston Bruins will surely be looking to invite a forward or two to training camp.

Locked on Boston Bruins host proposed two possible invites: Blake Wheeler and Tyler Johnson.

Yes, both are past their primes, but they can still contribute and bring a hunger for a Cup in Wheeler's case / Cup experience in Johnson's case.

Milan Lucic is reportedly still hoping to play in the NHL, but this is a guy who burned his opportunity with the Bruins last season and should not be revisited.

Why Pastrnak, Marchand Slipped in Winger Rankings

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 15 Aug 2024 16:40:54 +0000

NHL Network producers and analysts revealed their list of the top 20 wings in the NHL right now on Wednesday. Both David Pastrnak and Brad Marchand slipped in this year's NHL.com / NHL Network winger rankings.

Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren discusses while it kind of makes sense for an aging Marchand, Pastrnak was unfairly bumped from the top spot and even out of the top 3.

Marchand still being in the top 20 is a big deal, though.

Finally, a look at whether any other Bruins might make an appearance on this list anytime soon.

Everything You Need to Know About a Possible Swayman Offer Sheet

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 14 Aug 2024 14:23:39 +0000

There were TWO offer sheets signed on Tuesday, both by the St. Louis Blues and involving Edmonton Oilers restricted free agents.

Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren jumps on the mic to discuss the possibility of an offer sheet for Jeremy Swayman, what it would cost in terms of compensation, and what team has the means to do so. Beware the Montreal Canadiens here.

Bruins CEO Charlie Jacobs offered an update and believes the two sides will reach a deal, but an offer sheet remains a possibility the longer this goes on.

Circling Back on van Riemsdyk, Shattenkirk

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 12 Aug 2024 14:46:54 +0000

Deep into August, James van Riemsdyk and Kevin Shattenkirk remain unrestricted free agents. While they weren't going to be highly coveted at this point in their careers, Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren wonders whether general manager Don Sweeney could circle back on the veterans once Jeremy Swayman is signed.

At 35, they won't provide premium value, but the Bruins could use cheap, established veterans, and in the case of JvR, a guy who's hungry for a Stanley Cup and who could push the younger players to live up to the moment.

Swayman is the domino that needs to fall in order for the cap space to be revealed, and the podcast ends with an update on his contract situation.

3 Things Still on Bruins' Summer To-Do List

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 30 Jul 2024 15:11:00 +0000

Deep in the dog days of summer, the Boston Bruins still have a few things to take care of before training camp.

The biggie is signing Jeremy Swayman, and they also need to get new backup Joonas Korpisalo up to speed to avoid a huge drop-off when their new No. 1 needs a break.

Also in there is adding some options on the wing to boost the scoring and/or give young guys like Fabian Lysell a push.

Prepare for Emotional Returns by Former Bruins in November

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 24 Jul 2024 16:06:27 +0000

The returns of Linus Ullmark and Jake DeBrusk to Boston will highlight the Bruins schedule in November this season.

The Bruins will host Ullmark and the Ottawa Senators and Jake DeBrusk - along with Danton Heinen and Derek Forbort - and the Vancouver Canucks that month. Jeremy Swayman will be playing against his best friend for the first, while Nikita Zadorov and Elias Londholm will be facing off against their former mates after having played the Calgary Flames earlier in the month.

Why this October won't be like last October

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 23 Jul 2024 15:45:42 +0000

Let's be honest - the Boston Bruins had a fairly soft schedule to begin last season, and, to their credit, they took full advantage of it with a fantastic record in the opening month.

That won't be the case in 2024-25, though, and the Bruins will need to bring new players up to speed - especially Joonas Korpisalo - to come out with a winning record.

Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren compares Boston's schedule in October 2024 to October 2025, and why the Bruins can't afford to drop points. The pressure will be on Korpisalo to perform, and maybe also on Jeremy Swayman to carry a heavier load.

Scratch Sprong from List of Scoring Winger Options

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 22 Jul 2024 15:11:37 +0000

The Boston Bruins are betting on Fabian Lysell and/or Georgi Merkulov to add some scoring depth, but probably still need to hedge those bets with external options. One name off that list Daniel Sprong, who signed a very team friendly $975,000 deal with the Vancouver Canucks over the weekend.

Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren discusses why Sprong would have been a good option for the Bruins despite some questions marks, and why the Bruins should still contemplate adding a winger or two. That's once they know how much cash they have to work with as the Jeremy Swayman contract is still pending.

Plus, sincere condolences to the family of Mike Loftus.

What's More Likely? Filling out Bruins' Top 6

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 10 Jul 2024 14:24:51 +0000

After signing Elias Lindholm and Nikita Zadorov, and with a conract for Jeremy Swayman still needing to be signed, the Boston Bruins still have a pretty glaring need: a top 6, scoring winger.

Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren discusses what's more likely as the Bruins look to fill this hole. Option 1 is Fabian Lysell; Option 2 is a free agent signing like Daniel Sprong or a PTO for Filip Zadina or Kailer Yamamoto; and Option 3 is waiting until the trade deadline - or maybe even next summer - to address this need.

Bruins, Swayman Avoid Arbitration; Is an offer sheet possible?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 8 Jul 2024 16:53:48 +0000

The good news is that neither Jeremy Swayman nor the Boston Bruins filed for arbitration as the two sides continue to work out a contract extension.

The bad news is a contract hasn't been signed, and the Bruins could fall prey to an offer sheet, with their oldest rival primed to make that move if they choose to do so.

Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren breaks down all the latest on the Jeremy Swayman contract situation, and predicts where they two sides will land on a new deal.

But, beware the Montreal Canadiens.

State of the Bruins Roster after the NHL Free Agent Frenzy

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 5 Jul 2024 14:57:40 +0000

The Boston Bruins added two key players in Elias Lindholm and Nikita Zadorov during the NHL Free Agency signing period after trading for Joonas Korpisalo and Mark Kastelic the week before. Max Jones and Riley Tufte are also on board, as well as some AHL depth signings.

BUT, gone is Linus Ullmark, Jake DeBrusk, Danton Heinen, Matt Grzelcyk, Derek Forbort, Jesper Boqvist, while Kevin Shattenkirk and James van Riemsdyk remain unsigned.

So, what's the actual state of the Bruins roster on July 5? The defense looks nice, but help is still needed on the wings (particularly scoring wingers), and Jeremy Swayman needs to be signed asap.

Locked on Bruins host Ian McLaren discusses each position, and suggests a couple guys to look at for RW scoring help.

The Boston Bruins lost several players in free agency, most notably Jake DeBrusk, who signed a 7-year, $38.5M deal with the Vancouver Canucks. Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren is joined by Canucks reporter Thomas Drance (The Athletic, Sportsnet) to discuss where DeBrusk will fit with the Canucks, as well as why Vancouver also signed Danton Heinen and Derek Forbort.

Later, Drance offers insight and context into Elias Lindholm's tenure with the Canucks and why he'll be a great fit with the Bruins, and why Nikita Zadorov is one of his favorite players to watch league wide.

When Will Swayman Sign? 2024-25 Bruins Schedule Highlights

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 3 Jul 2024 14:41:14 +0000

After making a splash in free agency by signing Elias Lindholm and Nikita Zadorov, all attention turns to the Boston Bruins signing goaltender Jeremy Swayman.

They have the cap space, so what's the hold up? Neither party wants to go to arbitration, so it seems like a matter of time before the deal gets done, but every day that passes raises the anxiety a little bit.

Other than that, is Boston done looking at free agent? The Bruins did not sign a prominent winger, hoping instead that Max Jones can provide value and someone internally can step up.

Plus, a look at some notable games on the 2024-25 Bruins schedule.

Why the Bruins Targeted E. Lindholm, Zadorov in Free Agency

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 2 Jul 2024 14:11:56 +0000

The Boston Bruins landed the two free agents they were most keen on, signing center Elias Lindholm to a 7 year deal worth $7.75 million annually along with defenseman Nikita Zadorov to a 5 year contract worth $6 million annually.

Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren discusses why General Manager Don Sweeney targeted these two players specifically, and why they're both being compared to (but don't want to be compared to) Patrice Bergeron and Zdeno Chara.

The length and value of the deals may be higher than we want, and these players are both nearing 30, but they should make the team better in the near term.

Plus, the Bruins are hoping to get value out of 2016 first round picks Max Jones and Riley Tufte.

Later this week we'll touch on Jeremy Swayman, the now former Bruins who signed elsewhere, and what Boston still needs to fill out the roster.

Draft Recap: High Hopes for Letourneau + Why Lauko Was Traded

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Sun, 30 Jun 2024 00:05:24 +0000

It's a bonus episode of Locked on Boston Bruins as host Ian McLaren recaps what the Boston Bruins achieved at the NHL Entry Draft and previews Monday's free agent frenzy.

With the 25th overall pick, the Bruins selected Dean Letourneau. Why him? Well, others they likely preferred were already taken, and Letourneau's ceiling is as high as his vantage point.

Later in the draft, the Bruins traded Jakub Lauko to the Minnesota Wild in order to move up in the 4th round, shed a bit of cap space, and declutter the bottom 6.

All attention turns to Monday, where the Bruins will be looking to land a big fish in Steven Stamkos or Elias Lindholm, among other needs.

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Fri, 28 Jun 2024 16:26:51 +0000

Boston Bruins General Manager Don Sweeney is set to have a busy next few days. The team will be on the clock to pick 25th overall at the National Hockey League Entry Draft on Friday (with some later picks incoming Saturday), and will be looking to swing big in free agency on Monday.

Sweeney addressed the media Thursday from Vegas, and Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren breaks down what Sweeney had to say about the first-round pick (and potentially trading it), the priorities in free agency, Jake DeBrusk likely signing elsewhere, Fabian Lysell, Joonas Korpisalo and more.

Plus, Brad Marchand and Charlie McAvoy were named to their respective 4 Nations Face-Off rosters, and could the Bruins be in on Winnipeg Jets prospect Rutger McGroarty?

3 Priorities for the Bruins After Ullmark Trade

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Thu, 27 Jun 2024 15:58:29 +0000

Boston Bruins General Manager took care of a big piece of business by trading Linus Ullmark to the Ottawa Senators earlier this week. Next, he needs to re-sign Jeremy Swayman, hit on the 25th overall pick, and spend well and wisely in free agency.

Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren touches on some prospects the Bruins should target, mentioning again Jett Luchanko and Sacha Boisvert while adding Cole Beaudoin and Dean Letourneau to the conversation.

Plus, a look at what the team needs in free agency, including a center, one or two wingers (depending on what happens with Jake DeBrusk), and depth on the blue line.

Finally, Ullmark will not be signing an extension right away, nor will he be hugging his new goaltending partner.

The plan for Joonas Korpisalo + RIP Bruins Centennial logo

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Wed, 26 Jun 2024 14:49:58 +0000

Heads were scratched when the Boston Bruins added goaltender Joonas Korpisalo in a trade with the Ottawa Senators involving Linus Ullmark. Sure they got a 1st round draft pick, but is it work picking up a guy who really struggled in 2023-24? Do they plan to buy him out out try to flip him?

Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren breaks down the options, and why all signs point to Korpisalo backing up Jeremy Swayman for the foreseeable future.

Plus, the Bruins' Centennial logo is officially shelved.

Ullmark Traded to Senators: Did the Bruins Get Enough?

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Tue, 25 Jun 2024 14:09:48 +0000

Minutes before Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Final, the Boston Bruins traded goaltender Linus Ullmark to the Ottawa Senators for forward Mark Kastelic, goaltender Joonas Korpisalo and a 2024 first-round draft pick (25th overall).

Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren argues while it's great to get back into the first round, and Ottawa is retaining 25% of Korpisalo's salary, the return for the 2023 Vezina Trophy winner is underwhelming. Ullmark for a late first would have been fine, and late first to take Korpisalo's contract is reasonable, but altogether, it's not great.

Ullmark not immediately signing an extension with the Senators surely diminished the return, and there's questions about whether Korpisalo will stick around (which we'll discuss in a future episode).

At the end of the day, Ullmark is moving to Ottawa, and the podcast ends with a quick look at his legacy in black and gold.

Latest on Ullmark + Mitchell Re-Signs + GAME 7!

lockedonpodcasts@gmail.com (Locked On Podcast Network) — Mon, 24 Jun 2024 15:32:59 +0000

There was no movement on the Linus Ullmark front over the weekend, although there are rumblings of a third team being involved along with the Ottawa Senators, as well as two other teams on the radar.

Locked on Boston Bruins host offers the absolute latest on the Ullmark trade front, with the Bruins no doubt wanting to get something locked down before the Draft on Friday. An extension could be needed, though, which can't be signed until July 1.

Plus, the Bruins re-signed depth defenseman Ian Mitchell, and it's Game 7 of the Stanly Cup Final! Who you got?
