Sturm: “He’s Sway again. The way he played today was even better than Philly. If you look at him, the way he smiles the way he talks, he’s back to normal.”

(Sturm said Swayman’s first practice back was a “wild one.”)

After allowing a goal on the first shot, Jeremy Swayman stops the next 33 shots he faces to lead the Bruins to a 2-1 win.

Bruins kept the Penguins pinned in for an additional 1:14 after that Clifton penalty had expired.

Casey Mittelstadt makes it 2-1. He's up to 13 goals and 30 points in 50 games this season. Almost a 50-point pace.

Marat Khusnutdinov. 1-1 game.

Probably first bad challenge of the season from the Bruins. Not even close to anything there.

The Bruins are going to challenge for goalie interference.

Pittsburgh scores on their first shot of the game. Erik Karlsson.

Bruins vs. Penguins. Live from TD Garden. We have you covered the whole way.

Yeah, and this is always the silly time of year. I stand by what I said that the Bruins are itching for a big hockey trade, likely involving one of those first round picks. But the market is so inflated right now for imperfect fits. It makes the perfect fits cost even MORE.

Yeah, I think the biggest and most fair critique on Sweeney is that he nibbled along the edges for too long with an aging core thinking they’d be great forever. Almost realized mortality a bit too late. I don’t blame him for 2023. Failures came at ice level that year.

Takeaway from this presser is that I wouldn't expect anything big. Prices are 'exorbitant' and they aren't ready to sacrifice pain of last year for quick fixes. I asked if those exorbitant prices would push B's to sell for their benefit, but didn't seem like that was of interest.

Asked Sweeney about their latest firsts and the next four coming up and his approach on trading them: “You’re right that we’ve traded too much, but I’m not going to apologize for trying to win. I’m gonna apologize for not winning.” Says he’s not anxiously trying to trade them.

Sturm's full quote on his goaltenders. Feels like you could read into this a touch.

Sturm: “Korpisalo was unbelievable. I thought the last two days of practice were very important for him.”

Kuraly on his goal: “Usually when I don’t know what I’m doing, good things happen.”

Sean Kuraly with a much-needed insurance tally. 3-1, Bruins.

Haha, not a problem! They are actually just generic music beds from a catalog we have. I pitched other things, but the big wigs said it had to be from this database and royalty-free.

Prior to tonight, Bruins most recent brush with almost needing an emergency backup came back in 2022, and it was Chris Hemhauser (Assumption College) who was on call that night. Obviously, Kevin Segee's been in the mix for a long time before but not sure if he's still in rotation.

Korpisalo is back in the game. So, not EBUG necessary. There's not a set EBUG here every night. It varies game to game.

Korpisalo bumped on a goalie interference. Might be a spotter call.

Michael DiPietro coming into the game.

A frustrated Korpisalo just whipped the puck down the ice after that bump he took. This is where it landed. Get this man involved in the intermission games. Absolute marksman.

The last two minutes of this game:

One thing you can say about this game out of the gate is that it's absolutely the first game in 22 days.

Marchenko in all alone, and it's 1-0, Columbus. On CBJ's third shot of the night.

Hi! We are back.

My only complaint from the halftime show with Bad Bunny is he didn't play a snippet of Booker T. That song is NASTY.

Favorite team can't move the ball and every commercial is about some AI bullshit, gambling bullshit, or fake money bullshit.

Matt Poitras, like most, prefers his face unpunched. All that and more from a week in Florida. 985thesportshub.com/2026/02/05/b...
