Locked On Bruins - Daily Podcast On The Boston Bruins

In this episode of Locked On Boston Bruins, host Ian McLaren delves into the team's recent struggles, particularly focusing on their lackluster performance in a 3-2 overtime loss to the Ottawa Senators. 

The Bruins failed to register a single shot on goal in the third period, a feat not seen since 2006. McLaren discusses the implications of this performance, questioning both coaching strategies and team composition. 

He highlights the challenges faced by key players like David Pastrnak, who is recovering from an off-season injury, and the impact of recent roster changes. 

As the Bruins prepare for upcoming games against Western Conference teams, McLaren explores potential strategies for improvement and the possibility of management changes if the team's performance doesn't improve. 

Tune in for an in-depth analysis of the Bruins' current state and what lies ahead.

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.

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.

"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.

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.

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.

The Boston Bruins hosted Fan Fest over the weekend, opening up some opportunities to hear from some key people over the weekend.

Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren breaks down head coach Jim Montgomery's belief that a still to be signed Jeremy Swayman will be a full participant at training camp. 

Next, some thoughts on Charlie Coyle and Matt Poitras looking to take next steps, and The Athletic's belief the youngster may not be a long term NHL player.

Finally, David Pastrnak as one regret from last season, and it should push the team to be even better.

Get ready folks - training camp is right around the corner!

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.

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.

In today's episode of Locked on Boston Bruins, host Ian McLaren dives into Jeremy Swayman's impressive ranking as the 4th best goalie in the NHL by NHL Network.

Plus, we celebrate Judd Sirott being named NESN's new play-by-play voice for the Bruins. What does this change mean for the broadcast team, and what can fans expect from Sirott in his new role?

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.

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.

Plus, farewell Matt Grzelcyk and Pat Maroon.

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?

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.

It may not seem improbable, but there's a path to Steven Stamkos signing with the Boston Bruins on July 1.

The Tampa Bay Lightning captain can become an unrestricted free agent, and the club doesn't have the cap space to do so at the moment. Enter Don Sweeney, who has the money and a need to add a scoring center.

Locked on Boston Bruins host Ian McLaren breaks down why Stamkos at 3 or 4 years for $7-million is better than signing Elias Lindholm to a longer term, bigger money deal.
