    Dec 23 2025
    On this episode of the Garden Level Podcast, Cam Stuart and Dan Conlon break down the Boston Bruins’ ugly 3-game skid — all at home — and why goaltending has been right at the heart of the problem. With the Bruins dropping key games in TD Garden and momentum slipping in the Atlantic Division race, Cam and Dan take aim at the backup situation, arguing that Joonas Korpisalo isn’t even good enough to be a reliable NHL backup and is disrupting the goalie rotation Jeremy Swayman needs to succeed. Korpisalo has struggled this season with a sub-.900 save percentage and multiple rough outings that have cost Boston points — spotlighting just how critical the goalie play is to the Black & Gold’s fortunes. 🎙️ Plus — Eamonn McLean of Black N Gold Hockey joins the show to preview the 2026 World Junior Championships, which kick off later this week. Eamonn breaks down why this tournament is a huge showcase for Bruins prospects: • Will Zellers — the sharpshooting forward added to Team USA’s preliminary roster and making a serious push for a final spot. Black N' Gold Hockey • James Hagens — Boston’s No. 7 overall pick and returning U.S. World Junior contributor looking to shine again on the international stage. Wikipedia • Vashek Blanar — the big Czech defenseman with upside and currently in the mix for a Czechia roster spot at the tourney.
