• NO GUARANTEES: Sweeney’s Standards for Bruins Training Camp

  Boston Bruins GM Don Sweeney set the tone for the 2025–26 season at the team’s annual golf outing, stressing that nothing will be handed out at training camp — every spot must be earned. He outlined a reset built on better health, stronger defensive structure, and much-needed special teams improvements, while leaning on stars like David Pastrnak, Charlie McAvoy, and Jeremy Swayman to lead the charge. Sweeney also left the door open for PTO signings to fuel even more competition, setting the stage for a battle between veterans and prospects. On today’s podcast, Ian McLaren breaks down how this mandate for higher standards could shape camp — with a spotlight on new signing Matej Blümel, the AHL’s leading goal scorer, who could be Boston’s surprise weapon in their quest to rebound.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!GametimeToday's episode is brought to you by Gametime.

• Special Teams Will Make or Break the Bruins’ Season

  Boston’s special teams were a disaster last season — ranking near the bottom of the NHL on both the power play and penalty kill — and it cost them any shot at competing.

Plus, with the Prospects Challenge in Buffalo around the corner, McLaren spotlights Fraser Minten as Boston’s most intriguing young player to watch.It’s a deep dive into what went wrong, what needs to change, and why fixing special teams is the key to a true redemption season for the Bruins.Support Us By Supporting Our Sponsors!GametimeToday's episode is brought to you by Gametime.

• Bruins Risk Leaving Wins on the Table — Just Like They Did With Dryden

  The Boston Bruins MUST learn from their past. With Ken Dryden’s passing this weekend, we’re reminded of how Boston once undervalued a young star and handed Montreal the backbone of a dynasty.Now, in 2025–26, Marco Sturm and Don Sweeney face a similar choice: lean on stopgap veterans like Jeannot, Arvidsson, and Kuraly — or trust Mason Lohrei, Fraser Minten, Fabian Lysell, and the next generation.On today’s episode:Why the Kids vs Veterans depth war will define the Bruins’ season.How Don Sweeney’s grit-over-skill philosophy (see: Beleskey, Backes) keeps blocking Boston’s upside.And today’s Bruin of the Day: Ken Dryden — a legend who could have backstopped Boston to multiple Cups in the ’70s.This isn’t just about the past. The Bruins can’t afford to undervalue young talent again, or risk wasting another era of Pastrnak and McAvoy.📲 Subscribe to Locked On Bruins for daily insight, analysis, and honest fan-first perspective on your team.
