Bruins Benders Podcast

Hockey, Sports

Get Bent with Matty and Smitty! Your weekly dose of Boston Bruins banter from two longtime friends who know their hockey, but can't skate cause of them weak ankles.

We’ll bring you:
The latest news, analysis, live postgame recaps on YouTube, and rumors with a dash of unfiltered opinions and lively debates.

Join us for a fun, irreverent take on all things Bruins. We may not be able to lace up the skates, but we're f*cking passionate about the Black and Gold! (sorry John)
