Lace-up your skates and hit the ice with "Missing a Point" podcast, where the hottest topics in hockey are always in play! This week, we teamed up with Shukri Wrights, who knows everything there is to know about the Boston Bruins and Boston Celtics.

Things got started on an emotional note, as the group paid tribute to the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing on the ten-year anniversary of the tragic event. But soon enough, they were firing on all cylinders, breaking down the Bruins' record-breaking season and all the reasons why this team has been on fire lately.

From discussing the role of coaching to analyzing the performances of individual players, the group left no stone unturned in their quest to understand what makes the Bruins tick. They even touched on the importance of chemistry and teamwork, as well as the challenges of managing a team's salary cap.

And let's not forget the heart-pumping action on the ice! The group took a deep dive into the performances of key players like Thomas Noshek and Taylor Hall, as well as the emergence of Linus Ullmark.
