Random Bruins fan is my spirit animal
During a long quarantine and shut down, this is the humor we all need.

Kazakhs Blow Out Germany in Game 2, Force Relegation Rubber Match on Sunday
Here’s a wild guess – Germany’s pregame market to win Relegation Game 3 on Sunday won’t be 1-to-14 in London. Not after what happened on Saturday in Ostrava. Kazakhstan roared back from the brink of relegation at the 2020 World Juniors, whipping Germany 4-1 in a Game 2 victory that […]
Victor Soderstrom: from odd man out to rising star at 2020 IIHF World Juniors Championship
Victor Soderstrom wasn’t supposed to be on this Team Sweden roster at the 2020 World Juniors Championship. Anyone you would have asked a month ago would have said that’d he’d be the odd man out when the Chicago Blackhawks eventually announce that prospect Adam Boqvist is being loaned to Team […]

US tournament comes to an end at the hands of Finland
Something’s got to give for the US going forward. Dominating the tournament in the earlier parts of the decade and a gold against Canada in the shootout in 2017. The Americans fell to the Finns in a tight 1-0 game. Did it come down to a hot goalie? Absolutely. But […]
