Please help me figure this out.

At the very end of the regex you have:
Match the closing </a>, followed by one or more whitespaces or linebreaks one time followed by the closing </b> tag.
The source code has:
The line break occurs before the </a>, not after. So no match.
Should work.
</a>([\s|\r\n]+)?</b>
