| 10/8/26 | Bruins Veterans Need to Step Up after Ottawa Loss | After a 2-2-0 start to the season following a 4-1 loss to the Senators, the Bruins will look to bounce back against the Utah Mammoth at home Thursday night. In this episode of Poke The Bear, Conor Ryan is joined once again by Evan Marinofsky to discuss the lackluster play of Boston's veterans, Wednesday's lineup reshuffle, and the latest trade rumors regarding Pavel Zacha. They start with the loss to Ottawa. What went wrong? What needs to change if this team wants to take a step forward from last season? After the break, they discuss a recent report claiming that the Bruins discussed moving Zacha, and the two parties ‘haven’t been close’ on agreeing to an extension. Could Zacha be on the move? What’s his trade value? Will he and the Bruins come to an agreement? The guys break it down. Don’t miss another insightful episode of Poke the Bear!

| 9/18/26 |  What stood out at start of Bruins training camp? | Conor Ryan goes solo on Poke the Bear to break down the biggest takeaways from the Bruins’ first training camp practice. Conor starts with James Hagens and Boston’s young forward group, including the early look at Hagens alongside Fraser Minten and Marat Khusnutdinov and why giving the Bruins’ young players meaningful opportunities will be crucial this season. He also dives into Frederic Brunet opening camp next to Charlie McAvoy and why Brunet’s skating, puck movement and transition game could make him an intriguing fit on Boston’s blue line. Later, Conor examines the Bruins’ top six, David Pastrnak’s early line combination with Elias Lindholm and Morgan Geekie, and whether Fraser Minten could eventually be an option alongside Pastrnak. Plus, he discusses Boston’s captaincy decision, Nikita Zadorov’s dark-horse case, and the latest on Pavel Zacha’s contract talks and uncertain long-term future with the Bruins. 0:00 Intro 2:43 James Hagens & the Bruins’ Young Line 8:55 Frederic Brunet’s Opportunity With Charlie McAvoy 14:49 PrizePicks 16:16 David Pastrnak & Bruins Top-Six Lines 19:00 Pavel Zacha, Casey Mittelstadt & JJ Peterka 21:32 Bruins Captaincy & Nikita Zadorov 22:20 Pavel Zacha’s Contract Situation 25:36 Training Camp Takeaways & Outro Bruins on CLNS Media is Powered by: 💰 PrizePicks - Sign up at http://prizepicks.onelink.me/LME0/CLNS & Download the app today and use code CLNS to get $150 instantly in Lineups if you win your first $5 Lineup!

| 8/6/26 | Could Bruins be interested in late summer PTO contract? | In this episode of Poke The Bear, Conor Ryan and Evan Marinofsky run through Boston's potential free agent and PTO options at this stage of the season, and explain why right now it doesn’t make sense for the Bruins to pursue any of these veteran free agents & shut down the idea of even pursuing a guy like Vladimir Tarasenko.
