This week we discuss the disappointing play of the Western Canada Roadtrip. Do we have a problem with secondary scoring? (Yes) We also talk about the rash of injuries, which seem all too familiar, and still try to solve for 3C. You'll also learn far more than you want to about Bo Horvat and the former Senator from Maine and one time Secretary of State of the US, Edmund Muskie.
VA and Geoff viewed a game in a suite and will never be able to enjoy a game again otherwise. What's also sweet is that the Bruins are playing well and beating teams they should beat, including the Red Wings. We plot of the career path of a prospect, and give history lessons on Wagner (the composer) and the Vancouver Canucks, all of which are probably wrong.
We're back with the first episode of fourth season of Bearly on Topic. In this episode, we discuss the newest mascot on the block, Gritty. We also touch on a wide array of subjects not pertaining to the Bruins in the first 17 minutes. After that, we talk about what's going on with the third center position, a little bit about the defense and we make our season predictions.

We're back with another episode! John Tavares signed with the Toronto Maple Leafs, how does that make us feel? How do we really feel about Dougie Hamilton. What moves did the Bruins make that we're puzzled about? Can the Bruins get Artemi Panarin and at what cost? We answer these questions and more.
You knew we weren't done yet. This week we're discussing all the information we could gather from the annual breakup day. Who was injured? Who wasn't? What's going to happen now? Find out by listening. now!
This week were going through the five stages of grief about the Boston Bruins, who lost their second-round series against the Tampa Bay Lightning. Recorded just hours after the game 5 loss, we're mourning and celebrating so that we and you can heal.
In this episode, we discuss the failures that were games 2 and 3 of the series. After the airing of grievances, the complaining about the terrible officiating, and a general discussion of what isn't working, we start up Donato Watch: Series 2. This episode gets a little hot takey at times, so keep in mind that can come with extreme frustration.
So far, the Bruins and Lightning have played one game in their second round series and it went pretty well for our team. But, it wasn't perfect, so we'll be talking about what we liked, what we didn't, and other stuff.
We made it through another week! We survived the series! After the exhausting seven game series between the Bruins and Leafs, we take the time to wrap up with the last two games and start preparing for the next team, the Tampa Bay Lightning.
In this episode we're talking about the highs of Game 4 and the lows of Game 5. What happened? What bugged us? Also, we talk about that Brad Marchand piece in the Players Tribune.
The crew takes on Game 3 in Toronto. What went wrong for the Bruins? What adjustments did Mike Babcock make? How did he neutralize our top line? Are we worried that the Bruins are exposed as looking like a one-line team? How was the officiating? What does the team need to do to come back and win game 4 in Toronto?
This week, we discuss the first two games of the opening round series between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Boston Bruins. David Pastrnak is having a time! We love our first line! What's Rick Nash doing? Kevan Miller we owe you an apology.
In this very special episode of Bearly on Topic, we're celebrating our 100th episode! What better way to celebrate than to talk about two of our favorite subjects, Brad Marchand and Patrice Bergeron. We're also talking about the Stanley Cup Playoffs because those are happening and the Bruins are in them, making bets, and getting completely off topic.
This week we talk about the week in games including that lovely Tampa game from last Thursday. We take Jake DeBrusk and Zdeno Chara off the injury pile and add Brandon Carlo. Someone predicted three 30-goal scorers...last season but we still celebrate the moral victory. We're one week from the 100th episode. Are you excited?
In this very special episode of Bearly on Topic, VA, Geoff, and Tim all watch a game together...well, in their respective homes but together through the magic of a series of tubes that forms the information superhighway. Yes, the internet. We have adventures with closed captioning, talk about some Bruins news that we might have missed last week due to timing, and other random stuff. Yes this episode os long so pace yourself. We hope you enjoy this experiment.
This week we talk about the wacky week of Bruins games, that Backes ejection, that Backes injury and some news on Bruins past, present, and future.
What constitutes goaltender interference? Who are the B's going to sign? Who is secretly pretending to be Brian Gionta? All these things and more this week!
This week the crew tackles a garb bag of topics related to the Bruins and the NHL at large. We catch up on injuries, talk about the new guys, and talk about a couple of games from the week.
This week we're talking about the Bruins trades and transactions that occurred by Sunday morning, most notably about Rick Nash. Geoff doesn't like the NHL for allowing a certain trade. And we worry about moves the Lightning will make.
This week Geoff and Ben are in, with their respective cats Tuukka and Miro, to discuss the trade deadline. What do the Bruins need? Should they trade for McDonagh? Are they going to get better than Tampa Bay with a trade? Who would the boys trade for without limitations? We have answers for all these things and more. We also talk about that weird game at New Jersey, what a Torey Krug hat trick should be, how Jim Benning still has a job, and how much hate in our hearts there is for Dougie Hamilto...
This week we give you some Bruins content, some not. We discuss how the Rangers are imploding and how the Bruin had a part in it. What's the deal with Austin Czarnik? How perfect is Patrice? We also talk about plural hockey players and some other hockey stuff.
This week we talk about a great many things. Austin Czarnik and Frank Vatrano are on our minds. So is Henrik Lundqvist and his loyalty problem with the NYR. We celebrate Charlie's return, the Captains 1400th game, and we get misty eyed over the departure of the TTDW and what could have been. Come from the Bruins talk, stay for the Super Bowl food rant.
This is an episode in which we talk about bad behavior in the sports world, both with regards to play and just outside of it. It was a conversation that occurred during the previous episode but didn't quite fit the tone of the other and deserved it's own time and space. We barely scratched the surface of this topic and will probably have a longer conversation later.
