NESN's Judd Sirott joins, previews the upcoming Bruins' season
Wiggy puts Bruins success on Swayman's shoulders
The full edition of The Christian Arcand Show for Wednesday, October 8th, 2025.
The Patriots' victory over the Bills is starting to wear off and the focus is on the Saints in New Orleans. Christian details the only issues Mike Vrabel is faced with and how Vrabel is addressing them. Then, with a new Bruins' season approaching, The Skate Pod's Bridgette Proulx joins in studio to detail what has to go right for the B's to be in the playoff hunt. And, there aren't any definite expectations of the Bruins regarding if they'll be the a contender or the worst in the NHL so they are literally in no man's land.
In the final hour, Arcand gives an update on the Yankees trying to stave off elimination from the Blue Jays only to discover Cam Schlittler not looking as dominant as he did against the Red Sox. Why this should make Red Sox Nation furious? Then, Giannis talks about his future, LeBron gets sued for fraud, and producer Joe Braverman gives his thoughts on this Bruins season in Arcand Fire. And, a robot uprising might be put on hold in Clickbait.
Lots to get to in the Arcand Fire including Giannis Antetokounmpo making his future in Milwaukee more murky, the debate for NFL MVP, and a LeBron fan who fell for his "second decision"
On a special 90 minute edition, there is lots of backtracking regarding Bill Belichick and North Carolina's eye on the future. Does this joint statement mean anything or is Belichick still on track to be canned by UNC? Then, the Bruins got their season off to a great start with a victory which could fuel what would be a key to how they can shock some people and make the playoffs. And, the Red Sox may be out of the playoff picture, but at least we celebrate the Yankees not making the World Series either.
Jones and Keefe debate whether or not it makes sense for Jayson Tatum to play for the Celtics this season. Which NBA team had the best offseason? The Bruins need a bounce back season from Jeremy Swayman to have any playoff chances.
MLB Division Series recap, NLDS Game 4 previews, Celtics vs. Grizzlies preseason recap, Jack Eichel signs extension with Golden Knights, Thursday Night Football preview, Clip du Jour.
Jones and Keefe got into the Boston Bruins, last night's season-opening win over the Capitals in Washington, and tonight's home-opener against the Chicago Blackhawks. The guys were joined by Rob Bradford, of Audacy Sports and WEEI Red Sox insider, to discuss the end of the Red Sox season and the team's offseason expectations. Finally, Jones and Keefe got into the New England Patriots and the play of the Pats when they played three straight road games.
Marco Sturm and the Bruins are 1-0 thanks in large part to David Pastrnak. Jones and Keefe list their reasons to feel good about the win. Could Jeremy Swayman bounce back this season? Where will the offense come from aside from the first line?
Hart is rooting for Marco Sturm and the Bruins, Fitzy thinks the Patriots offense would be dangerous if they add another playmaker, and Ted loves the Patriots' deep passing game.
HR 1 - Expectations for Patriots vs. Saints | Will Belichick complete his first year at UNC? HR 2 - Three-Point Stance | Tom E. Curran joins the show HR 3 - Andrew Raycroft joins | How will the Celtics' offense look without Jayson Tatum? HR 4 - The Drive | The Patriots cannot underestimate the Saints
Hart, Fitzy, and Ted give their Three-Point Stance takes of the day. Tom E. Curran has the Patriots going 10-3 before their bye week. He predicts a narrow victory for the Patriots in New Orleans, and likes what he sees from Stefon Diggs in terms of play and leadership.
Andrew Raycroft thinks we will see more structure from the Bruins under Marco Sturm. He also thinks Jeremy Swayman will improve after a full preseason with no contract disputes. The Celtics won their preseason opener, who will step up for the team without Jayson Tatum? The Yankees were eliminated from the playoffs by the Blue Jays.
Former Bruins Goalie and NESN Analyst Andrew Raycroft joins WEEI Afternoons to recap the Bruins season opening win. The Bruins have to be better on both sides of the Power Play this season. Raycroft expects to see improvement from Jeremy Swayman this season. He also thinks the Bruins are still looking to add to their offense and scoring.

It's clear the Bruins are going to have problems scoring goals
On opening day, Scheim begs the Bruins for a competitive season
In the final hour of the show, Arcand gets into the Bruins now less than 24 hours away from starting a new season and why the goals should remain pretty lofty. Why Jeremy Swayman is the key to the entire B's success. Then, Christian gives his thoughts on the intensifying mess at UNC with Bill Belichick along with other topics in the Arcand Fire. And, LeBron James gets back into athletes making beer commercials in Clickbait.
WEEI's Bruins writer and host of The Skate Pod Bridgette Proulx stops by the studio to give a full depth analysis of the Bruins' season which starts tonight. What actually has to happen for the B's to have a successful season and will Jeremy Swayman rebound from am tough year last season?
On the even of a new season of hockey for the Bruins, a tough season prior has fans down on the team entering the new campaign. However, with the talent still on the roster, expectations of the B's making the playoffs might need to be raised.

The Washington Capitals are making tough roster decisions as training camp winds down. With preseason cuts piling up and a long list of waiver-eligible players at risk, the battle for roster spots has never been tighter. Rising young talents like Andrew Cristall, Hendrix Lapierre, and Vincent Iorio are putting pressure on veterans and bubble players alike, while the team also weighs the goaltending logjam between Logan Thompson, Charlie Lindgren, and Clay Stevenson. We break down the latest moves, including Lynden Lakovic being sent back to juniors, Spencer Smallman and Calle Rosen hitting waivers, and what the Capitals' expected lineup could look like on opening night. In this episode of the Caps Minutecast Podcast, host Dan Holmi dives deep into Washington's biggest preseason storylines. From Cristall's highlight-reel goal in Hershey to Iorio's physical transformation, we analyze which young players are ready to force their way onto the roster. Plus, we discuss the uncertainty surrounding veteran defenseman John Carlson's future, how the Capitals can balance youth development with competing for a playoff spot, and what to watch as the team prepares for their October 8 season opener against the Boston Bruins.
