He wasn’t shooting enough?!? Where are all the folks pissed off that I said it last week? I’ll wait. @BruinsBenders
Marco Sturm on Morgan Geekie, who has one goal in the first 12 games:  “Every forward, every goal scorer needs to feel good. If you’re not scoring, then you get a little tight. That’s absolutely normal. With him, just for example, the other night, he had some really good looks on the power play. He just missed the net. Last year it went in. So that’s the fine line, and that’s something you just need to continue to work on and you got to work through it. That’s just part of being a goal scorer. Last year, he had a little taste at the end. This year, again. So I think he’s just learning how to deal with those kind of stretches. The one area he was not shooting enough, and when he had the opportunities, he missed the net a lot too. So it’s a little bit of a combo, I’d say.” @BOSHockeyNow | #NHLBruins

But Morgan Geekie’s shooting % has taken the turn back to human. 2023-24: 13.1% - 17G, 130S 2024-25: 22% - 33G, 150S 2025-26: 21.5% - 39G, 181S 2026-27: 10% - 1G, 10S If we give Geekie a bump to 15% and give him the same 84 shot pace, he will score ~13 goals this season — not good. Regardless of what he’s feeding the media, he needs to up the shot volume. @BruinsBenders

I’m working to build Powerhaus Hockey for the Girls Harrow Invite this summer. Defense is nearly full, but we’re still looking for 2017 girls at forward and a second goalie. Know someone interested? Reach out. powerhaushockey.com #girlsplayhockey #girlshockey #youthhockey

A new @X feature? Looks like a sports team now lists the players in their organization, giving you the ability to follow their accounts (if they have one). Neat! @inside_the_rink

Legitimately funny & shows you how great hockey players are. @inside_the_rink
Last game Michael McCarron apparently handed a fan $20 through a hole in the glass after knocking his beer over earlier in the evening. What a beauty 😂 #mnwild via @seanzysix9 on TikTok

The Boston Bruins may be the sloppiest passing team in the NHL.

Cinema. Absolute cinema. So of course it won’t happen.
🚨 Alexander Volkanovski says he wants to move up to fight Justin Gaethje for his retirement fight 👀 "I don't want to hold divisions up, but I believe we could do this and not hold the divisions up. That's something I'd retire for. If they want to give me that opportunity, win or lose I'd retire."

Alex Nedeljkovic is going to have nightmares about Mittlestadt, Hagens, and Lindholm tonight after that shift.

Re-fucking-tweet Almost ALL of the stats or analytics accounts you follow, weigh or value things differently. Which creates different outcomes. Mehta specifically mentioned their saves above expected calculations includes defensive positioning, giving them a truer value of that metric. @inside_the_rink
Analytics are subjective and this imperfect. It's the same as "old school" scouting. One person's expected goals is not the same as someone else's. The science is in the flesh and blood details. The science is an also art. It's imperfect but it can help you get close to math. I love math--it's spiritual. But, we will never reach math--because math is perfect. Plus/minus IS perfect but it's not art. Same as shots on goal. Noah Kahan's song "Downfall" is perfect art---according to my analytics.
