The Boston Bruins are being disrespected by oddsmakers. FanDuel has set their 2025–26 over/under at 76.5 points — the same total they finished with last year when they were last in the Eastern Conference.

In the Season 7 premiere of Locked On Boston Bruins, host Ian McLaren explains why this line is too low and why betting the over is the smart play.

On today’s show:

Segment 1: Why 76.5 is an insult — the Bruins aren’t the same team that limped through last year.

Segment 2: Health, second-year stability for Elias Lindholm and Nikita Zadorov, offseason additions like Victor Arvidsson, Tanner Jeannot, Matej Blümel, and Alex Steeves, plus internal growth from Morgan Geekie and Marat Khusnutdinov — all reasons Boston’s floor is higher. Add in All-Star goalie Jeremy Swayman, and this isn’t a 76-point roster.

Segment 3: Bruin of the Day debuts with the one and only Bobby Orr. Ian shares a personal story about seeing an incredible Orr memorabilia collection, reflects on his complicated legacy, and explains why Orr remains the DNA of the franchise.

Boston might be a bubble playoff team in a tough Atlantic Division — Toronto, Florida, and Tampa are strong, and Ottawa and Montreal are pushing up — but 76.5 is still too low. Tune in daily for analysis, stats, storytelling, and fan perspective on your team, every day.
