The Burning Question: Have the Bruins Hibernated for the Winter? (Spoiler Alert: No, They're Just Taking a Long Summer Break)
Die-hard Bruins fans, fear not! While the ice at TD Garden has melted away for the summer sun, that doesn't mean your favorite team has packed it in for an early snooze. But with the regular season a distant memory (and the sweet taste of victory, hopefully, lingering on your tongue), you might be wondering: just how many more games do the Bruins have left before we can unleash the celebratory chants once more?
Well, grab a Dunkin' Donuts iced coffee (because let's face it, it's never too early for a pick-me-up in Boston), and settle in for some good news and a little...well, hockey reality.
The Truth, the Whole Truth, and Nothing But the Not-So-Grueling Schedule (Because Let's Be Honest, We All Need a Break Sometimes)
The answer, my fellow puckheads, is zero. Zilch. Nada. The Bruins, like all other NHL teams, are currently enjoying a well-deserved summer hiatus. They've battled through the grueling regular season, faced off in epic playoff moments (hopefully!), and now they're recharging for the season ahead.
But Wait! There's More (Because Hockey Season Will Be Here Before You Know It!)
Don't fret, because while we can't fast forward to slap shots and cheering crowds just yet, the wait for the puck to drop again isn't as long as you might think. Mark your calendars, because the NHL season typically starts around October, which means you'll have plenty of time to dust off your jerseys, perfect your Zamboni impression in the living room, and brush up on those offside calls (because let's be real, sometimes even the most devoted fans need a refresher).
