I didn't have any plans going back home over that summer but then as the season got closer, I played with that thought a little bit and just ended up signing there a week before the season started. It was good for me. I got back to my game a lot more to the way I want to play. Now afterwards, I don't regret anything. I think that was a good decision for me.
Oct. 21 vs Florida - In Brad Marchand's homecoming, the B's battle back from an early two-goal deficit and then another late one-goal disadvantage to tie it on Morgan Geekie's 6-on-5 goal at 18:29. But in the final minute, the B's allow the Panthers to attack the zone with speed and Carter Verhaeghe's shot goes off the post then Andrew Peeke's skate for the GWG with 26 seconds left.
The Bruins have been a resilient and admirable group for the most part this season. But the depleted B's learned on Monday night that vim and vigor can take you only so far in the National Hockey League. The Carolina Hurricanes were clearly the better team at the Garden and used two second period goals to power their way to the 3-1 win at the Garden
Don't get me wrong. It would be wise to hold back a piece of your heart before throwing it all on the bandwagon. Every game in this current seven-game win streak that has them at 11-7 has been a battle - even Tuesday's 5-3 win over Toronto when the Maple Leafs looked disinterested to start and then lost Auston Matthews in the middle of the game. Three of their seven wins have gone to extra time.
"I remember how strong the Bruins alumni was and how I was instantly accepted by them...Wayne Cashman, we still talk weekly...but there was no one bigger in my time with the Bruins than Johnny Bucyk...to the people of Boston, you were so good to me. Thank you." - Jumbo Joe pic.twitter.com/shvWYbL1I7- Boston Bruins (@NHLBruins) November 11, 2025
"No, not at all," Bergeron said in reply. "I feel like it's almost like I don't consider myself a part of that group. I think it's hard for me to believe that," he said of his own candidacy. "But also at the same time, I'm obviously here to support [Zdeno], but also [Duncan Keith] and [Joe] for their amazing careers. I'm just happy to be a part of this night."
You can watch the Toronto Maple Leafs with reverent attention, and it may still not be enough to figure out how this team operates. It appeared that the Maple Leafs were turning the corner, boasting the best 5-on-5 offence in the NHL. Saturday evening presented a winnable game against a divisional rival, but the Maple Leafs fell short in a 5-3 loss to an undermanned Boston Bruins side.
The B's extended their winning streak to five games after Pavel Zacha's goal beat the clock with 5.5 seconds left in overtime, lifting the B's to a 3-2 win over the Ottawa Senators at the Garden on Thursday. Charlie McAvoy carried the puck in deep and got the puck on goalie Linus Ullmark and it trickled through him. Zacha stuck with it and tapped home the GWG, giving the B's their fourth win in as many tries in extra time this year.
