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 Bruins victory, particularly one that doesn't happen by accident? Maybe, but when your team isn't having any fun out there and is comprised of a lot of ahl players, it's gonna take a while. Hang in there, friends, this is a Bruins tape to tape snapshot.

0:25 Speaker 2: The Boston Bruins dropped another game during their West Coast trip on Wednesday night, iiO of all teams, the Anaheim Ducks, losing by a score of six to two. In talking to a friend and co worker of mine, I said to him, how am I supposed to do a snapshot anymore for these games for our Boston Bruins And his response was just simply asked the question are you good with watching these games? Because I'm all set? And he is absolute lutely right. So thank you Stewie for that lead in how can we continue to watch these games and watch the team just fall further and further behind in the standings and in their progress.

1:18 Speaker 2: The only silver lining which we talked about during our recent podcast is the fact that we will have some semblance of excitement during the lottery draft that will be held either on May fifth or May sixth. In the meantime, this has become a team and a product that is virtually unwatchable. It is becoming an embarrassment to the team and to the players that are pulling that spoke to Bee Jersey on over their heads. There seems to be very little emotion pride in taking the ice for these games, and other than perhaps the players who are somewhat auditioning to be a future part of this team, I believe in my heart of hearts that players have literally checked out on the season.

2:23 Speaker 2: The one additional thing that we may have to look forward to as Bruins fans and core traditional hockey fans is the fact that with the Washington Capitals coming to the Ted Garden on April second, there is a real chance that Alex Ovechkin could break Wayne Gretzky's all time goal scoring record in our house, and as a hockey fan, I guess that would be a fitting and to the Bruins season.

3:03 Speaker 1: Boston is playing Detroit on Saturday, their third and final matchup of the season. In spite of their best efforts, the Red Wings are unlikely to make the playoffs once again, but with a new coach taking on a full season with the team their youth and drive, we are likely going to see the rise of another divisional challenger. Much like the San Jose and Anaheim games. I expect this matchup to be between a young team having fun out there with minimal pressure and expectations against a team that's been decimated and beaten down.

3:35 Speaker 1: Maria is absolutely right that this is the opportunity for ahl Bruins players to showcase their skills and hope for a spot on the team next season. This is also likely the one chance that Fabian Licel is going to get to make it onto the team. For his sake, I just hope it's not too late. In playoff news, the Nashville Predators have become the next team to be statistically eliminated for from the playoff structure. As we inch closer and closer to April, expect more teams to fall away, including the Bruins.

4:07 Speaker 1: They currently have the fourth worst goals differential in the league at minus fifty, and only four teams separate Boston from the eliminated teams in terms of points percentage.
