Boston.com’s Bruins reporter Conor Ryan offers up weekly thoughts, opinions and analysis on all things surrounding the Black and Gold in “Poke The Bear” — a new podcast centered on the Original Six club. Each week, Conor and a number of guests offer in-depth breakdowns on the latest news surrounding the B’s — and having plenty of fun along the way. So sit back, grab a libation (or Dunks, no one’s judging here) and let’s talk some hockey.
In this episode of Poke The Bear, Conor and Ty talk about James Hagens’ future at center, the value of Boston’s first-round pick, and what lessons Boston can take from the Golden Knights and Hurricanes.
