Line Changes with Alex & Brad

We are back as the 2025-26 NHL season gets underway. It won't take long for you to see what our level of optimism is for the 2025-26 Boston Bruins. We discuss the roster, its flaws, and why are they STILL not playing the young guys?? We give an Atlantic Division preview as we look ahead to the season and.... It is certainly going to be a hockey season. Bradley finds out mid-episode that the Blue Jays have been cheating, and Alex is at the center of the controversy.

After two months, we're back to talk about the Summer of Brad, the NHL draft, and all of the latest news around the NHL! James Hagens DROPPED to 7, and is officially a Boston Bruin! Will we see him in the re-designed spoked B or will he be back at Boston College? Meanwhile Brad Marchand has been thriving, celebrating his second Stanley Cup after being freed from the crumbling Bruins. Marco Sturm has been named head coach, what are our expectations? (There are none)Please, let us know what you think and make sure to check out our twitters:Podcast - @LineChangesPodAlex - @bigbadbruins73Brad - @bradiey98

After a season full of disappointments, the 2024-25 Boston Bruins cannot hurt/bore us any more. Tune in as we recap the end of season notes and give our predictions for the Stanley Cup Playoffs, which will not feature the Bruins for the first time in 8 years. Where do the B's go from here? Who should be the next captain? Next coach? Please, let us know what you think and make sure to check out our twitters:Podcast - @LineChangesPodAlex - @bigbadbruins73Brad - @bradiey98

We're back! Because of Don Sweeney, the bruins commenced a "re-tool" trading Frederic, Coyle, Carlo, and Marchand. Carlo and Marchand stay in the division, being dealt to Toronto and Florida, respectively. Don Sweeney's bad moves in the past have led to this reality that Brad Marchand is actually playing for another franchise. We discuss the future of the Bruins. What good are draft picks when it's Sweeney and company making the picks? Where do the bruins go this summer? Why must we be fans of this team?Please, let us know what you think and make sure to check out our twitters:Podcast - @LineChangesPodAlex - @bigbadbruins73Brad - @bradiey98

We're back! Team Canada wins a thrilling Championship game against the United States in what was a slam dunk 4 Nations Faceoff. Meanwhile, back in Bruins' land, everything sucks. Hampus Lindholm is likely out for the remainder of the season, Charlie McAvoy is out for a while after suffering a "significant" AC Joint injury and subsequent infection in Montreal. The Bruins are just "meh." The trade deadline is coming, and it's clear there is only one correct path for Don Sweeney.Please, let us know what you think and make sure to check out our twitters:Podcast - @LineChangesPodAlex - @bigbadbruins73Brad - @bradiey98

We're back! After a brief hiatus, we are back to discuss the continued trends and flaws of this team! Jeremy Swayman seems to be rounding into form after two 40+ save wins, Marchand and Pastrnak hate each other (lol), and it is way past time for the Bruins to embrace the youth movement fully. The B's playoff chances seem slim- will they make it? Please, let us know what you think and make sure to check out our twitters: Podcast - @LineChangesPod Alex - @bigbadbruins73 Brad - @bradiey98

We're back! After a disappointing start to the season filled with underperforming players in roles they shouldn't be in, Don Sweeney has fired his 3rd coach after letting Jim Montgomery go after Monday's 5-1 loss to Columbus. How much is Montgomery to blame? We quickly answer that question, as every player has been disappointing this season. There are only TWO Bruins on pace for 40 points or more. This is a management issue with players not playing up to par. We also discuss Thursday's 1-0 win over Utah, which saw Joonas Korpisalo once again play well. Should Korpisalo get more starts in the short term while Swayman works through his struggles? We then touch on some around the NHL notes, NFL talk, and more!

We're back! The Bruins are... off to a bizarre start to the season, and they cannot stop taking penalties. The Bruins are 3-4-1, but it feels much worse. The Bruins have a decent fourth line.. but that's about it. Just about everyone and everything has been off to start the season. How do the Bruins fix the lack of chemistry? Is it time to call up Lysell? How much blame should Montgomery get? Bare with us as we try to remember it's only October...

The 2024-25 NHL season is here! Tune in as we discuss the Bruins opening night roster ahead of Tuesday's (potential) season opener in Florida! We give our take on the Bruins strengths, weaknesses, and where we think they'll end up in the Atlantic division standings. We then go division by division, giving our complete standings predictions! Will Ottawa finally break through? Is there magic brewing in Utah? We then give our award predictions as we look forward to another year of... Connor McDavid dominating the league.

Well... we're back. Tune in as we discuss the tragic deaths of Johnny & Matty Gaudreau, who were tragically murdered by a drunk driver in New Jersey a couple of weeks ago. Do not drink and drive. Call a friend, uber, ANYTHING. We then make the difficult transition to talk about Jeremy Swayman's contract situation and Brad Marchand undergoing 3 offseason surgeries. Are we at all worried about Swayman not having been signed yet? Any worries about Marchand heading into his 16th season? We also talk about Torey Krug's unfortunate injury that is going to keep him out all season, and Leon Draisaitl getting a huge extension. We wrap up the episode talking baseball, Bowden Francis, and the first week of the NFL season.
