The NHL shared several photos of a handmade table hockey game on its social media, Tuesday. The game features the Boston Bruins and the Montreal Canadiens playing each other in a stunningly realistic Boston Garden.
“Absolutely amazing!” one commenter wrote.
“The detail is incredible! 👏🏾,” said another.
The Boston Bruins bring smiles every year on Halloween and this year was no different – even with the coronavirus pandemic.
The Bruins did their annual visit with kids at Boston area hospitals on Zoom and each player that participated dressed as a Sesame Street character.
It’s incredible.
When we last checked in with ex-Caps defender Karl Alzner, he had been bought out by the Montreal Canadiens. But rather than be dispirited by the buyout, Alzner was excited. “I’m looking forward to hopefully getting another chance to play in the league and walk into the Bell Centre again,” Alzner said in a statement.
That chance might be coming sooner than later. Boston reporter Joe Haggerty says the Bruins might be interested in picking Alzner up.

Tuukkka Rask is heading home.
The Boston Bruins’ starting goaltender announced on Saturday morning through the team that he’s leaving the bubble.
The news comes as the Bruins and Hurricanes are tied 1-1 in their first-round series. Game Three is Saturday at noon.
Round-robin hockey is finally over, and thank goodness. This just isn’t good hockey. Anyway, the Caps beat the Bruins, so now the real hockey can begin.
The Caps got roundly dominated in the first period but emerged with a lead anyway, thanks to TJ Oshie’s tenacity down low against Zdeno Chara. The second period was scoreless, but Tom Wilson had a heap of hustle to beat Charlie McAvoy and make it 2-0 early in the third. Jake DeBrusk made a nice move on a broken play to get the Bruins on the board with ten minutes left, but that was it.
Caps win.

Full disclosure: I’m getting tired of these round-robin games. I’m ready for them to really count. I also don’t like losing. Luckily, this is the final one. The Capitals will face off against the Bruins this afternoon in a match that will decide who they will be playing in the first round of the playoffs. Will it be the New York Islanders or the Carolina Hurricanes?
Personally, I don’t want the Capitals to play either, those options do not sound fun to me. But, no matter who the opponent is, it’ll be an absolute pleasure to watch the first round with all of you. God gives his toughest battles to his strongest soldiers. Let’s do this.
The puck drops at 12 PM, and, yes you guessed it, Peter will put the cherry on top of your afternoon with a recap.

The Washington Capitals will play the Boston Bruins at 12 PM on Sunday. The game will be aired on NBC Sports Washington. The Caps will be the home team.
The matinee will be the Capitals’ final game played in the Round Robin to determine their final seeding in the opening round of the 2020 Playoffs.
With the eliminations on Friday, the list of the Washington Capitals’ possible opponents for the first round of the playoffs has dwindled. Sunday’s round-robin game against the Boston Bruins will decide if the Caps will face the Carolina Hurricanes or New York Islanders.

The Boston Bruins took to the basketball court to warm up on Thursday.
The video was an immediate reminder that they should, and I cringe writing this, #sticktohockey.
The NHL announced Monday that the Capitals-Bruins game (which you may not have known was on August 8) will now be played on Sunday, August 9.
