The Burning Question: Do the Boston Bruins Have More Important Dates with the Zamboni Than Opponents?
Ah, the plight of a Bruins fan in July. The Stanley Cup dreams have faded (or perhaps they're fermenting in a vat of determination for next season?), the ice rink is a distant memory (unless you have a particularly enthusiastic neighbor with a malfunctioning sprinkler system), and the question hangs heavy in the air: do the Bruins have any more games left?
Fear not, fellow fan! The answer, like a perfectly placed slap shot, is a resounding NO. The boys (and Rask, because let's be honest, he's practically family at this point) have played their 82-game regular season and are most likely lounging on beaches, coaching Little League (Pasta definitely has a team called "The Pastabilities"), or mastering the art of the summer barbecue (looking at you, Marchand, with a spatula that suspiciously resembles a hockey stick).
However, fret not if this lack of Bruins action leaves you with a puck-shaped void in your life. Here are some alternative activities to fill the summer with Boston Bruin-themed fun:
QuickTip: Stop scrolling, read carefully here.
- Dust off your jersey and take up rollerblading. It's not exactly the same, but hey, at least you'll have the freshest wheels on the rink... metaphorically speaking of course.
- Host a Bruins-themed barbeque. Burgers? Make them "Chara-burgers." Hot dogs? "Krejci-dogs," obviously. Don't forget the "Pasta Salad" (extra points for hidden shells).
- Channel your inner sportscaster and re-enact your favorite Bruins moments. Bonus points for dramatic sound effects and the liberal use of couch cushions as hockey sticks.

But Wait! There's More! (Because We Know You Crave Bruins Hockey)
The good news? The NHL schedule gods haven't abandoned you entirely. The 2024-2025 season kicks off in October, which is basically just around the corner, right? crickets chirping In the meantime, you can:
- Stalk (responsibly, of course) the Bruins' social media pages for training camp updates, hot stove rumors (will Pasta finally sign that contract?), and adorable pictures of players with their summer puppies.
- Brush up on your Bruins trivia. Who has the most career goals? Who holds the record for most penalty minutes in a single season? (We all know who that is...)
- Binge-watch old playoff highlights. Remember that epic comeback against the Maple Leafs in '19? Or that time Marchand... well, you know what Marchand does. Relive the glory days, my friend.
