As the calendar shifts from August to September (seriously, what happened to July, man?), there’s no denying that winter is indeed and inevitably coming. And at a pace that’ll stun you right out of your shorts and sunglasses.
For a Bruins team that’s certainly going through their own set of changes following the retirements of both Patrice Bergeron and David Krejci, and with their cap situation a complete mess for 2023-24 after a failed ‘all in’ year, that means a slow-and-steady reporting back to Boston ahead of training camp.
And things got real on Wednesday with the release of the national TV schedule, which will feature the Bruins a staggering 13 times in 2023-24 (that number excludes the streaming exclusive games). That’s the second-most in the NHL, trailing only the Colorado Avalanche, who have 15 national TV games on deck for 2023-24.
