🎙️The Bruins once again took the scenic route to two points — weathering a rough opening before flipping the switch and taking control. After being outplayed in the first period by the Utah Mammoth, Boston responded with a dominant second frame and never looked back, skating away with a 4–1 win at TD Garden.<br /><br />Jeremy Swayman was steady and sharp when the Bruins needed him most, while Morgan Geekie continued his heater with two goals, including one just 23 seconds into the second period that completely changed the tone of the game. Goals from Casey Mittelstadt and a highlight-reel, end-to-end effort from Mikey Eyssimont sealed the deal as Boston leaned into its ability to self-correct and dictate play. <br /><br />Now the challenge ramps up. Edmonton comes to town with McDavid and Draisaitl looming, plus some familiar faces and storylines. The Bruins have been elite on home ice — and with divisional games and the holiday break ahead, setting the tone on this homestand matters. Expect fireworks Thursday night.<br /><br />Become a supporter of this podcast: <a href="https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bruins-tape-to-tape-a-boston-bruins-hockey-podcast--6575298/support?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=rss">https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bruins-tape-to-tape-a-boston-bruins-hockey-podcast--6575298/support</a>.<br /><br />✨<a href="https://www.patreon.com/c/BruinsTapetoTape" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Join the Patreon for Ad Free Listening</a>✨<a href="https://bruins-tape-to-tape-shop.fourthwall.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Get Our Merch</a> ✨<br /><br />📲 Follow us on X, Instagram &amp; Blue Sky ➡️ @TapetoTapeMK<br />📲 Join our Discord ➡️ <a href="https://discord.gg/AQfC73RbnS" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">https://discord.gg/AQfC73RbnS</a><br />📧 Get Snap Shots in Your Inbox ➡️ <a href="http://tapetotapemk.substack.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">tapetotapemk.substack.com</a><br />🛍️ Shop with us ➡️ We are an NHL Shop affiliate!
