Another Day, Another L for the Boston Bruins | Snap Shots Episode 43

0:00 Speaker 1: You may ask yourself, will we ever see another Boston

0:04 Speaker 1: Bruins victory, particularly one that doesn't happen by accident? Maybe,

0:09 Speaker 1: but when your team isn't having any fun out there

0:12 Speaker 1: and is comprised of a lot of ahl players, it's

0:16 Speaker 1: gonna take a while. Hang in there, friends, this is

0:19 Speaker 1: a Bruins tape to tape snapshot.

0:25 Speaker 2: The Boston Bruins dropped another game during their West Coast

0:29 Speaker 2: trip on Wednesday night, iiO of all teams, the Anaheim Ducks,

0:34 Speaker 2: losing by a score of six to two. In talking

0:38 Speaker 2: to a friend and co worker of mine, I said

0:42 Speaker 2: to him, how am I supposed to do a snapshot

0:46 Speaker 2: anymore for these games for our Boston Bruins And his

0:50 Speaker 2: response was just simply asked the question are you good

0:54 Speaker 2: with watching these games? Because I'm all set? And he

0:59 Speaker 2: is absolute lutely right. So thank you Stewie for that

1:03 Speaker 2: lead in how can we continue to watch these games

1:08 Speaker 2: and watch the team just fall further and further behind

1:14 Speaker 2: in the standings and in their progress. The only silver

1:19 Speaker 2: lining which we talked about during our recent podcast is

1:24 Speaker 2: the fact that we will have some semblance of excitement

1:29 Speaker 2: during the lottery draft that will be held either on

1:33 Speaker 2: May fifth or May sixth. In the meantime, this has

1:38 Speaker 2: become a team and a product that is virtually unwatchable.

1:45 Speaker 2: It is becoming an embarrassment to the team and to

1:50 Speaker 2: the players that are pulling that spoke to Bee Jersey

1:54 Speaker 2: on over their heads. There seems to be very little

2:00 Speaker 2: emotion pride in taking the ice for these games, and

2:06 Speaker 2: other than perhaps the players who are somewhat auditioning to

2:12 Speaker 2: be a future part of this team, I believe in

2:17 Speaker 2: my heart of hearts that players have literally checked out

2:22 Speaker 2: on the season. The one additional thing that we may

2:26 Speaker 2: have to look forward to as Bruins fans and core

2:31 Speaker 2: traditional hockey fans is the fact that with the Washington

2:36 Speaker 2: Capitals coming to the Ted Garden on April second, there

2:40 Speaker 2: is a real chance that Alex Ovechkin could break Wayne

2:47 Speaker 2: Gretzky's all time goal scoring record in our house, and

2:53 Speaker 2: as a hockey fan, I guess that would be a

2:59 Speaker 2: fitting and to the Bruins season.

3:03 Speaker 1: Boston is playing Detroit on Saturday, their third and final

3:06 Speaker 1: matchup of the season. In spite of their best efforts,

3:09 Speaker 1: the Red Wings are unlikely to make the playoffs once again,

3:12 Speaker 1: but with a new coach taking on a full season

3:15 Speaker 1: with the team their youth and drive, we are likely

3:18 Speaker 1: going to see the rise of another divisional challenger. Much

3:22 Speaker 1: like the San Jose and Anaheim games. I expect this

3:25 Speaker 1: matchup to be between a young team having fun out

3:28 Speaker 1: there with minimal pressure and expectations against a team that's

3:33 Speaker 1: been decimated and beaten down. Maria is absolutely right that

3:37 Speaker 1: this is the opportunity for ahl Bruins players to showcase

3:41 Speaker 1: their skills and hope for a spot on the team

3:43 Speaker 1: next season. This is also likely the one chance that

3:47 Speaker 1: Fabian Licel is going to get to make it onto

3:50 Speaker 1: the team. For his sake, I just hope it's not

3:53 Speaker 1: too late. In playoff news, the Nashville Predators have become

3:57 Speaker 1: the next team to be statistically eliminated for from the

4:00 Speaker 1: playoff structure. As we inch closer and closer to April,

4:04 Speaker 1: expect more teams to fall away, including the Bruins. They

4:08 Speaker 1: currently have the fourth worst goals differential in the league

4:12 Speaker 1: at minus fifty, and only four teams separate Boston from

4:17 Speaker 1: the eliminated teams in terms of points percentage. If you
