Sun, 07 Dec 2008 19:57:53 -0800

The Bruins swept Florida and CJ and Russ recap the action. The show, however, starts right off with an extended rant and just goes on from there. Some 1988 reminiscing goes on, more of that "Lemelin/MOOOOOOOOG" talk, and some more reader/listener feedback on the Bruins and the state of the NHL.

Sun, 23 Nov 2008 19:02:34 -0800

Russ recaps last week's action - 4 games and 4 wins. What's up with BGL chasing Lucic like a little puppydog, anyways? Hunwick impresses, Krejci undresses (the other team's D, that is), and Savard is on FIRE!

Sun, 16 Nov 2008 19:05:47 -0800

CJ returns to the show this week as he and Russ recap the Bruins solid wins over the Blackhawks and Habs, and the near-win against the Rangers that was foiled by the prevent defense.

Anytime CJ's on there's guaranteed to be a rant and this week is no exception as the show veers off into the world of sports talk/yell radio.

The Bruins Report Podcast Episode 56 10/26/08

Sun, 26 Oct 2008 18:45:57 -0700

It's yet another solocast this week as Russ goes "blah blah blah" about more shootout losses, some lacksadaisical play, and getting points without killer instinct.

Listener emails address Mike Ryder, Manny Fernandez, and the "new" NHL. The weekly Providence Bruins recap remains intact, sans CJ.

Sun, 19 Oct 2008 19:16:46 -0700

It's a solocast this week as Russ recaps the Bruins games against the Habs and the Sens, does some quick stats glances, runs down some pros and cons (so far), and welcomes back The Rant.

The Bruins Report Podcast Episode 54 10/05/08

Sun, 05 Oct 2008 19:27:04 -0700

It's time for season three of the Bruins Report!

Russ and Cj give a quick rundown on the preseason, roster activities, and discuss some questions about the team to start the season. Players on the bubble, who could get moved, who *should* get moved, and who might be playing where.

The Bruins Report Podcast Episode 53 7-06-08

Mon, 07 Jul 2008 17:31:13 -0700

Hey! Put on your sunscreen, grab a beer, and kick back for episode 53 of The Bruins Report! Russ and CJ update everyone on the Bruins recent draft, and also discuss the beginnings of the Unrestricted Free Agent Frenzy. Much chatter about the B's recent signings makes the rounds, with some salary and stat comparisons tossed in just so they sound somewhat smaaaaht.

This week's band is The Mudbloods http://www.myspace.com/mudbloods

The Bruins Report Podcast Episode 52 4/21/08

Mon, 21 Apr 2008 19:36:21 -0700

It's another first round exit, but this one sure feels a heck of a lot different. Russ and CJ recap the final few games of the playoffs, including the recently concluded (like 15 mins before this was recorded) Game 7, and provide some positive outlook towards next season. Oh and Habs fan bashing too.

CJ gives a PB's update and some listener voicemails and emails get their input from the guys.

Our next episode will probably be in a few weeks, so keep an eye out!

The Bruins Report 4/13/08

Sun, 13 Apr 2008 20:06:25 -0700

Thanks to OT in Game 3, it's a solocast this week with Russ handling the show. No music, no frills, no BS, just Bruins playoff talk. The 3 games so far are recapped, and the Kessel situation is discussed, along with the fickle Boston fans who's seats are taken up by too many red sweaters.

The Bruins Report Episode 50 4/06/08

Sun, 06 Apr 2008 19:13:04 -0700

It's a live show tonight as CJ and Russ get together to celebrate the Bruins making it back to the playoff dance! Of course, it doesn't get easier now as the B's will be facing Montreal in the first round, so the guys recap the week that got the Bruins into the playoffs and discuss what the Bruins will need to do in order to make the first round a competetive one.

History and PB's playoff news are in "Puttin' On The Foil"

The Bruins Report Podcast Episode 49 3/30/08

Sun, 30 Mar 2008 20:07:59 -0700

CJ looks prophetic once again in calling the past 3-0 week, so the guys ride his hot hand headed into the final week of the season. The playoffs aren't a given, so Russ and CJ recap the 3 wins plus the OT loss to the Sabres earlier in the day, and look ahead to the remaining 3 games, and what other schedules could mean for Boston.

The Bruins Report Episode 48 3/23/08

Sun, 23 Mar 2008 19:30:52 -0700

1 point out of a possible 4 against the Scabs = the Bruins almost out of the playoff hunt. Russ and CJ discuss the offense (or lack thereof) (again), the team's ability to match up against a faster squad, how on earth it came to be that Habs fans have been taking over the New Garden, and rant about Bruins fandom. A look ahead shows another home and home on tap and the guys discuss the potentials.

Not much history and some more PB's updates are in "Puttin' On The Foil"

The Bruins Report Podcast Episode 47 3/16/08

Sun, 16 Mar 2008 20:06:48 -0700

One thing works, another thing breaks. The goaltending is back, and the offense decides to take a vacation. More of the same this week as CJ and Russ discuss the losses, OT win, and more on this week's episode.

History, PB's are IN baby, and listener emails are on "Puttin' On The Foil"

The Bruins Report Podcast Episode 46 3/09/08

Sun, 09 Mar 2008 20:10:11 -0700

"Drink 'em if you got 'em" is the motto this week as CJ and Russ do their best to recap the 10-2 and 8-2 shellackings without actually talking about them. Auld has been good when in, Timmy not so much so. The amazing invisible offense, injuries on D, imedded teeth in lips and MORE this week.

History, PB's notes, and even more emails on "This Week In Bruins History" and the show recap mostly involves Queen and Dream Theater CD discussion. Yup, it's been one of those weeks.

This week's show is guaranteed to be Freddie Mercury Free. Well.... almost.

CJ and Russ recap the trade deadline that wasn't, and how it affects the team going forward. The vote of confidence from the front office appears to have worked based on their recent play, which gets recapped this week, along with the usual stats and the upcoming "crazy week" - 5 games in 7 days.

Sun, 24 Feb 2008 19:54:39 -0800

Reverse psychology FTW! this week as the guys build on last week's success and call for some ridiculously bad record this week in hopes of another 3 wins. Comebacks and beatdowns are on tap in review, and much discussion of the potential trades that are rumoured here there and everywhere. Names are tossed in, tossed out, you name it.

The Bruins Report Episode 41 2/10/08

Mon, 11 Feb 2008 03:48:51 -0800

This week's show kicks right into it with a rant against the Boston media's coverage (or lack thereof) of the Bruins, along with their lack of effort to actually know what's going on with the team.

The lack of effort on the Bruins side as well is talked about in the two losses this past week, along with a look ahead and some brief discussion about the upcoming trade deadline (will Murray actually stay healthy long enough?)

More Bruins history (if anyone has a clip of that B's/Habs game let us know!), a PB's update, and some listener feedback/contributions in "Puttin' On The Foil".

Mon, 28 Jan 2008 16:42:48 -0800

Savvy gets the winnah!! That's the bright point of this week's podcast with Russ and CJ. Actually, it's not so bad, although the lengths the guys go through to NOT talk about the Scabs whupping gets a bit ridiculous.

PB's news, Providence Police vs Providence Fire for charity, and some guy Russ won't mention in "Puttin' On The Foil"

The Bruins Report Podcast Episode 40 1/20/08

Sun, 20 Jan 2008 20:11:03 -0800

It's a ranting ramblecast this week with Russ and CJ on The Bruins Report. The B's had 3 decent games, getting points in all 3 (2 of them wins) but you'd think they barely played at all based on all the off tangent rambling between the two.

What would YOU do if you ran the NHL? Russ lets everyone know his ideas... and then keeps them coming long after they should have stopped. Plus, all your up to the minute Giants/Packers updates that'll already be a day old when you hear this!

Do you know what a bag skate is? The Bruins do, and so do Russ and CJ after this past week. Not aggressive enough, too aggressive, it's all covered on this week's episode of The Bruins Report. 2 losses and a win, some banged up players, and more cap talk.

PB's updates and hat tricks galore in "Puttin' on the Foil".

Mon, 07 Jan 2008 03:50:50 -0800

It's a happy happy happy show this week on TBR as Russ and CJ discuss the 3 wins this past week. We got called out on last week's show so we're here to bleed more Black and Gold.

New Bruin Shane Hnidy gets some discussion, as well as the complete lack of major trades this season thanks to the CBA and the tightness in the standings. The new improved first line earns some discussion as well.

Sun, 30 Dec 2007 20:20:47 -0800

It's a blah show this week as the guys are faced with even more losses to discuss. Is the team finally done overachieving? Do trades need to be made? Do they get a mulligan due to all the injuries?

Potential trade talks are brought up (Kessel? Um... no), as well as some goal scoring stats compiled by Chris from Cow Hampshire.

It's a somber solocast this week with Russ bringing everyone up to date on how the Bruins can't seem to score, skate, or win this past week. 2 more regulars are out, more sloppy D, and a total lack of scoring means ZERO wins for Boston. Although there was that sweet comeback.

4 wins in a row? A shutout by the much maligned Manny? No way!

Yes way. The Bruins have been playing much better than ESPN would like you to believe, and the guys are more than happy to tell you all about it (along with running commentary on Game 7 in the Sox/Indians series).

Coaching, hitting, playing the kids, it's all there in this week's episode. Even some topical politics! Weird, huh?

Once that's out of the way, the final West Coast games are discussed, including the re-emergence of Chuck Kobasew, and Julien's coaching styles and systems. Stats are tossed out, although at this point, they don't mean much.

Listener emails are out on "Puttin' On The Foil", along with a look back at Bruins history and a Providence Bruins update.

The Bruins Report Episode 25 9/30/07

Mon, 01 Oct 2007 04:12:37 -0700

It's a news-filled show today with Russ trying to play catch-up on all the things we've missed... like a new coach, a new goaltender, a few new draft picks, and a new free agent signing (at least, there was only 1 when we recorded, so who knows who'll be on the roster when you actually listen to this.
