Celine Dion pays surprise visit to introduce Boston Bruins’ starting lineup

Habs fans probably had mixed feelings Thursday night when Quebec’s beloved Celine Dion was spotted introducing the Boston Bruins’ starting lineup at a hockey game in Boston.

The Bruins, who have a famous rivalry with the Montreal Canadiens, were playing the New York Rangers that night.

Bruins coach Jim Montgomery, who also happens to be a Montreal native, brought Dion and her two sons to the players’ locker room and she proceeded to sing the team’s lineup.

The video was posted on Boston’s social media feeds with the comment, “Now THAT’s a legendary lineup read!”

The Bruins players clapped and cheered, and the singer was later spotted catching the game.

Why Bruins should give Swayman a rest and start Ullmark to begin road trip

BOSTON — Goaltending has been the Bruins’ primary strength for most of the 2023-24 NHL season, but Jeremy Swayman’s dip in performance of late is starting to become a concern as the Stanley Cup Playoffs approach.

Swayman entered Thursday night’s showdown against the Metropolitan Division-leading New York Rangers having given up nine goals on 50 shots over his last two starts. This matchup at TD Garden was a great opportunity for him to get back on track with a quality outing against a top contender in the Eastern Conference.

But Swayman was not at his best. In fairness, the Bruins certainly didn’t help him much. An inability to clear the puck from the defensive zone and a couple bad turnovers led to the Rangers’ first two goals, but all three goals Swayman allowed Thursday were shots he could have stopped. And when the margin for error is so slim against a high-powered team such as New York, the B’s needed their goalie to make a couple more clutch saves.

The first Rangers goal beat Swayman five-hole. Pavel Zacha might have screened his goalie a little bit.
