🎙️ In this week’s episode, Karoline and Maria grab their morning coffee and dive into the Bruins’ undefeated start — a 3-0 run built on discipline, depth, and a surprising sense of calm. Is this what happens when expectations drop… or has Marco Sturm truly reset the culture in Boston?

🚨 Early Tests Passed

After three games, the Bruins are checking every box they failed last year:

* No lazy stick infractions or emotional meltdowns 🧊

* Locked-in penalty kill, sharper puck movement, and smart structure

* Full 60-minute efforts and genuine pushback when they fall behind

“Everything is a test — and so far, they’re passing every single one.”

🧱 Foundation First, Flash Later

The scoring may not be flashy yet, but the Bruins are building something solid:

* Lindholm (Elias) is dominating faceoffs and showing two-way consistency

* Jeannot and Eyssimont are grinding hard, creating chemistry in the bottom six

* Depth players like Kastelic and Kuraly are quietly carrying their weight

“Secondary scoring wins games — and this year, they’ve got it.”

⚡ Standouts & Stick Taps

* Special Teams: PK looks elite; PP finally functional (and fun to watch)

* Zadorov: Wrecking-ball energy without crossing the line

* Goalies: Swayman and Korpisalo both locked in, confident, and calm

* Jordan Harris: Seamless debut after Lindholm injury — composed, responsible, ready

🧊 Penalty Box

* Too many penalties early — even if most are disciplined, the volume’s got to drop

* Scoring consistency still missing; plenty of missed open looks against Buffalo

🌍 Around the Rink

The NHL somehow scheduled zero games on Friday, then 14 on Saturday — a classic “what are you doing?” moment from the league.“The NHL knows how to put on a show… they just choose not to.”

🔥 Looking Ahead

Tampa Bay comes to town next — and despite Vasilevskiy’s rough start, the Bruins aren’t underestimating anyone.Then it’s the real test: a road swing through Vegas, Colorado, and Utah.

“If they can come back 500 from that stretch — with structure intact and identity forming — that’s a win.”

💬 Final Thoughts

This “pissed off” Bruins team looks focused, united, and driven. They’re not at “oh no, we have to play Boston” status yet… but you can feel it coming.
