0:21 Speaker 1: down with goalie Scars. Oh my one a move by

0:24 Speaker 1: the rookie too on one Pastor not moving in Marsh

0:26 Speaker 1: getting Jost on his own oil dances in podcast wat

0:32 Speaker 1: home right away corner Pastor Chester, what is that for? Most?

0:51 Speaker 1: Welcome in everyone to another episode of Bruin's Tape to Tape.

0:55 Speaker 2: We are recording on Monday, January twelfth. Bruins have had

1:01 Speaker 2: a significant amount of activity to start twenty twenty six.

1:06 Speaker 2: But before we dive into the week that was for

1:10 Speaker 2: the Boston Bruins, I want to welcome in, my lovely

1:14 Speaker 2: but I'd last a bit tired. Hockey Mom co host

1:19 Speaker 2: Caroline with a k. You are on hockey overload.

1:23 Speaker 1: My friends him Maria, Oh my god, it's if I'm

1:27 Speaker 1: not at a rink. Something must be seriously wrong at

1:31 Speaker 1: this point in the season.

1:33 Speaker 2: Been there, done that, been there, done that. Don't I'm

1:37 Speaker 2: not going to say, don't care to do it again

1:39 Speaker 2: because there are times that I miss it. Yep, Oh,

1:43 Speaker 2: where are you off to? Where do you think another ring. Well,

1:49 Speaker 2: having experienced many an arena myself across the New England area,

1:55 Speaker 2: we felt pretty goddamn lucky to have the rinks that

1:58 Speaker 2: we had in State of Maine. Given some of the

2:02 Speaker 2: arenas that.

2:03 Speaker 1: Our boys have played at, it's always a crapshoot when

2:07 Speaker 1: you're going to a new one, so you never know

2:09 Speaker 1: what you're gonna get.

2:09 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, yeah, when you have to tell the kids

2:12 Speaker 2: when you put your equipment on and you're done, make

2:16 Speaker 2: sure you zip up your bags so no critters can

2:18 Speaker 2: get inside your hockey bags.

2:20 Speaker 1: Okay, no, it's horrible. AnyWho.

2:25 Speaker 2: The Bruins have had themselves a week since we last recorded.

2:31 Speaker 2: Most of it has been has been good, and we'll

2:35 Speaker 2: talk about what the difference has been or is in

2:39 Speaker 2: the fact that they've you know, figured out and corrected

2:42 Speaker 2: some things in their games. But before we get gone,

2:46 Speaker 2: there's a little bit of news in that just quickly,

2:50 Speaker 2: I don't know, for those of you who haven't been

2:53 Speaker 2: on social media or are curious, the Patriots played their

2:57 Speaker 2: first playoff game in New England in quite some time

3:01 Speaker 2: and actually won the game. I believe it's the first

3:04 Speaker 2: playoff game they've won since they won Super Bowl in

3:06 Speaker 2: twenty nineteen, believe it or not, and Christian Gonzales arrived

3:13 Speaker 2: at Jillette Stadium pregame rocking his Zadano. Shara attires, if

3:18 Speaker 2: anyone hasn't seen that, it's a pretty pretty cool photo

3:21 Speaker 2: that's been circulating on social media.

3:24 Speaker 1: So put on.

3:25 Speaker 2: Christian for paying homage to Big Z. In addition to that,

3:31 Speaker 2: we have a little injury to talk about. Another injury

3:35 Speaker 2: to campus lind Home, a bit of a mysterious injury

3:39 Speaker 2: and one in which we haven't gotten a great deal

3:42 Speaker 2: of insight on or transparency from the Boston Bruins at

3:47 Speaker 2: this point in time. But troubling nonetheless, because this is

3:53 Speaker 2: becoming a little bit of a pattern with this player,

3:57 Speaker 2: and not in a good way. Also, so, Jonathan Asparo

4:02 Speaker 2: signed a two year extension with the Boston Bruins at

4:08 Speaker 2: eight seven five.

4:10 Speaker 1: Not a bad not a bad little deal. And this

4:12 Speaker 1: guy's been solid. You know, I've liked his play.

4:18 Speaker 2: I like his fopus and his intensity and his I'm

4:22 Speaker 2: just gonna work my butt off attitude.

4:24 Speaker 1: What are your thoughts on this player? I love this guy.

4:28 Speaker 1: We've affectionately called him the Mustache. In our discord because

4:33 Speaker 1: he's rocking the pretty solid mustache out there. As a

4:36 Speaker 1: young guy, I can't quite put my finger on it yet.

4:41 Speaker 1: I got to spend a little bit more time actually

4:43 Speaker 1: just specifically watching him because the circus that has been

4:47 Speaker 1: going on the last few.

4:48 Speaker 2: Weeks has made it hard.

4:49 Speaker 1: But the stats don't lie. The Bruins have been what

4:53 Speaker 1: five one and zero or something like that, since he's

4:57 Speaker 1: he cam back and he's a traditional defenseman, which sometimes

5:06 Speaker 1: you just need to have on the team. You know,

5:08 Speaker 1: every team needs those stay at home yes, and Eddie

5:13 Speaker 1: Eddie's yeah. And I think the Bruins, with the departure

5:17 Speaker 1: of Brandon Carlow last March, really then put themselves in

5:23 Speaker 1: a position where they didn't have a completely stay at

5:28 Speaker 1: home defenceman on the roster. You know, we've got a

5:32 Speaker 1: lot of guys who played defense who are obviously very defensive,

5:38 Speaker 1: but not really completely in the way that Asparo really

5:42 Speaker 1: plays his game. And you just need it, especially if

5:46 Speaker 1: the core values of the Bruins franchise includes extremely solid

5:53 Speaker 1: defensive structure, you have to have that as part of

5:56 Speaker 1: the recipe. Very exciting to see that. I think if

6:00 Speaker 1: I was not expecting it. The announcement, yes, no, no,

6:04 Speaker 1: I came out of a little bit of nowhere, right,

6:06 Speaker 1: a little bit out of left field. But I think

6:09 Speaker 1: in all the best ways, it kind of pumped everyone up.

6:13 Speaker 1: We're like, yes, management sees him, they recognize his contribution,

6:19 Speaker 1: and they're rewarding players who are coming in, working within

6:25 Speaker 1: the confines of the system and executing on it. And

6:28 Speaker 1: I think that that's going to have a huge return

6:31 Speaker 1: on what's happening in that locker room, because it's saying

6:34 Speaker 1: we reward players who come in. We had no expectations,

6:39 Speaker 1: and he's doing more than what we asked. So let

6:44 Speaker 1: me ask you this.

6:47 Speaker 2: Hear me out, or is this laying the foundation to

6:55 Speaker 2: lock this guy in, who is a very serviceable defenseman

7:00 Speaker 2: to a two year deal, had a good amount of

7:03 Speaker 2: money in order to be able to either move him

7:07 Speaker 2: at the trade deadline or in the off season to

7:11 Speaker 2: a team that again you have to if we're you know,

7:17 Speaker 2: just something that popped into my head. I like the

7:20 Speaker 2: way he plays. I like what he's done now. Nakeda

7:26 Speaker 2: Zadora leads the team of plus minus. He's played forty

7:30 Speaker 2: six games. He hasn't missed a game, he's a plus fifteen.

7:34 Speaker 2: Jonathan Asparo, who has played in only twenty six games,

7:39 Speaker 2: is a plus fifteen. Now, I know that's not the

7:43 Speaker 2: bo and end all, but clearly this guy, he's doing

7:49 Speaker 2: his job and he's doing it well. And if he's

7:53 Speaker 2: still a member of this roster come March, April, May,

7:57 Speaker 2: June and rate. But if Dawn Sweeney is actually doing

8:01 Speaker 2: what he should be doing as a general manager, which

8:05 Speaker 2: is trying to line things up for the future, good

8:07 Speaker 2: on him.

8:08 Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, no matter how you slice it, even

8:10 Speaker 1: if that I think, you know, I think this is

8:12 Speaker 1: one of those things where two things could absolutely be true.

8:15 Speaker 1: Because he certainly was deserving of it, and I'm thrilled

8:20 Speaker 1: to see someone being rewarded in that way. But there's

8:23 Speaker 1: you know, it is still a business. And if some

8:26 Speaker 1: of that motivation for front office to make this deal

8:32 Speaker 1: happen was, hey, we want to kind of value him

8:36 Speaker 1: a little higher so that way he has a higher

8:40 Speaker 1: rate of return from that time.

8:43 Speaker 2: I mean they know that he has value.

8:47 Speaker 1: It's not a false inflation, like falsely inflated value that

8:52 Speaker 1: they're placing on him because they're hoping to get more

8:54 Speaker 1: than they could for him.

8:57 Speaker 2: And they can ill afford to do that on this roster. Now,

9:00 Speaker 2: I mean that would be just egregious on the part of.

9:04 Speaker 1: Swinging.

9:05 Speaker 2: You don't have a whole ton of room to begin

9:08 Speaker 2: with everything, But yeah, not a lot of breathing wiom.

9:14 Speaker 2: The next big event coming up for the Boston Bruins

9:18 Speaker 2: is the Zadano Chara Retirement, which is sounding and shaping

9:25 Speaker 2: up to be the event of.

9:27 Speaker 1: The season here.

9:28 Speaker 2: It's going to be hosted by Andrew Ferrence and those

9:32 Speaker 2: of us who are season ticket holders have been receiving

9:36 Speaker 2: all kinds of information about timetables and timing and this

9:40 Speaker 2: is when this is happening, and red carpet entrances and

9:43 Speaker 2: be in your seats, and the itinerary is four fifteen.

9:50 Speaker 2: There's a gold carpet entrance at the main hub and

9:55 Speaker 2: entrance of the TV Garden. Five o'clock the doors will

9:59 Speaker 2: open all ticket holders. They're encouraging all ticket holders to

10:05 Speaker 2: be in their seats by six', ten six twenty the

10:11 Speaker 2: ceremony begins and the game is not scheduled to start

10:15 Speaker 2: until eight. Pm eight.

10:16 Speaker 1: Pm that's according to.

10:19 Speaker 2: This, Now i'm assuming then that means that the ceremony

10:23 Speaker 2: itself is going to be a, minimum likely an hour

10:26 Speaker 2: lawn and they're going to want the teams to be

10:29 Speaker 2: able to warm up as they would normally warm.

10:32 Speaker 1: Up so there you have.

10:34 Speaker 2: It that was the information that we received from The Boston. Bruins,

10:38 Speaker 2: well and it's rightly.

10:40 Speaker 1: So The Boston bruins haven't retired a number Since january

10:45 Speaker 1: of twenty twenty, two so it's been four years since

10:48 Speaker 1: they last did one of, these SO i don't remember

10:52 Speaker 1: all of the details around that as. Well but he

10:56 Speaker 1: is also the First european player to have his number

10:59 Speaker 1: one retired by The, bruins and only the thirteenth overall

11:04 Speaker 1: retired by the, organization and quite, frankly this one was

11:07 Speaker 1: a long time. Coming you've said before in the past

11:11 Speaker 1: that whether it's The jacob's family or whomever makes those,

11:15 Speaker 1: decisions that The bruins are, notorious notorious for being particularly

11:23 Speaker 1: slow at giving this kind of honor to players who

11:30 Speaker 1: have defined this. FRANCHISE i, mean for crying out, loud

11:34 Speaker 1: the only reason Why Ray bork's number got retired as

11:37 Speaker 1: fast as it did was because they were retiring it In,

11:40 Speaker 1: colorado And boston, said we'll be damned if that happens,

11:45 Speaker 1: First like he spent twenty one years In.

11:49 Speaker 2: Boston so, Yeah AND i, mean as much AS i

11:53 Speaker 2: like to crap on The jacob's, family you, know sometimes,

11:55 Speaker 2: too it's also a timing. Issue if they're a particular

11:59 Speaker 2: pece both that are, critical crucial and important to this

12:05 Speaker 2: ceremony Or Za dan, o'chara they want to make sure

12:08 Speaker 2: that they're able to get them get them. There LIKE

12:12 Speaker 2: i believe that a lot of members of the two

12:14 Speaker 2: thousand and Eleven Stanley cup championship team are going to

12:19 Speaker 2: be at this ceremony and somewhat active in the ceremony yeah.

12:26 Speaker 1: Itself, yes, yeah and all but one are retired at this,

12:31 Speaker 1: point so time has to pass and obviously scheduling is

12:35 Speaker 1: a legitimate. Thing shortly after he had, retired we then

12:38 Speaker 1: we had The willie, o'reewan and you don't want to

12:41 Speaker 1: have one every. YEAR i understand. That then it was

12:43 Speaker 1: the centennial and there was a question mark of is

12:46 Speaker 1: that going to be part of it or? Not and it,

12:48 Speaker 1: didn't which was, Okay like that made sense as, well

12:51 Speaker 1: and SO i THINK i wouldn't be surprised if there

12:55 Speaker 1: were a couple of extenuating circumstances that were then really

13:01 Speaker 1: forcing The jacob's family to all, right it has to

13:05 Speaker 1: happen now because a he was inducted to The hall Of.

13:10 Speaker 1: Fame how how long do you make a person who

13:13 Speaker 1: is induction into The hall Of fame wait for? That

13:15 Speaker 1: but B i mean not to count chickens before eggs

13:20 Speaker 1: have been. Hatched but another former captain of The Boston

13:26 Speaker 1: brewers who is retired becomes eligible for The Hockey hall Of.

13:31 Speaker 1: Fame this jew this, Juice he's going in first. Ballot

13:34 Speaker 1: it's a no. Brainer he's going. In and how you

13:37 Speaker 1: can't possibly then make that man wait to retire that

13:43 Speaker 1: number number thirty Seven for those of you who are

13:46 Speaker 1: new and are not, following uh, like it's it has

13:50 Speaker 1: to happen because of just the timing of. It so

13:52 Speaker 1: they really kind of put it, off so to, speak

13:57 Speaker 1: as late as they possibly. Could they're they're doing this

13:59 Speaker 1: at the elene the hour to squeeze in because it's

14:03 Speaker 1: it's gonna. Happen we're gonna see too very, quickly which is.

14:06 Speaker 2: Great we don't see and deserves These these are no

14:09 Speaker 2: brainers in terms of numbers of The Boston bruins whose

14:13 Speaker 2: numbers should go up into the. Rafters and you, know

14:17 Speaker 2: that's a conversation for another, day because sometimes there's too many,

14:21 Speaker 2: Numbers like you look at The Boston celtics when you

14:24 Speaker 2: go into THE Tv garden and see how Many celtics

14:27 Speaker 2: numbers have been, retired and you're, like how many more

14:30 Speaker 2: can we put up?

14:31 Speaker 1: There? Right but you can't deny that that The Boston

14:37 Speaker 1: bruins have had arguably Two golden. Eras there was The

14:42 Speaker 1: Golden era where we see a large number of players

14:46 Speaker 1: from that are hanging up there from you, know the

14:49 Speaker 1: late sixties into the, seventies and then The Golden era

14:53 Speaker 1: that was basically the tenure Of zadanochara up until.

14:58 Speaker 2: Last year it and we were really pushing it really

15:01 Speaker 2: it was through twenty. Nineteen so the fact that.

15:05 Speaker 1: There's Patrice bergeron is not going to be the last

15:10 Speaker 1: number retired from this, Era like it's it's just.

15:16 Speaker 2: Unavoidable you can't not these people made that era happen.

15:22 Speaker 1: BECAUSE i don't know who ELSE i would put up

15:24 Speaker 1: there After patrese right, Now, no, well there there's where

15:29 Speaker 1: there's one who's gonna have his number up there, eventually eighty.

15:34 Speaker 2: Eight oh, yeah but we're taught that's going every. Time

15:38 Speaker 2: that's down down the road and currently retired no, no, no,

15:42 Speaker 2: no currently.

15:42 Speaker 1: Retired. No But i'm thinking sixty three is going to

15:47 Speaker 1: be up. There eighty eight is going to be up.

15:49 Speaker 1: There they're part of that olden.

15:50 Speaker 2: Era sixty three popped into my, head AND i wonder

15:53 Speaker 2: how that would be handled by The bruins. ORGANIZATION i, mean,

15:58 Speaker 2: espo he can't back right that ORLY i think time

16:04 Speaker 2: not not without being. Did he was a bit, Disgruntled

16:07 Speaker 2: he had some animosity towards the organization and, right but

16:12 Speaker 2: he came back for and And ray bork erased all

16:16 Speaker 2: of the the shittiness Of Harry sindon when he took

16:21 Speaker 2: off that.

16:22 Speaker 1: Jersey. Yeah, Yeah SO i think those are, we're you,

16:26 Speaker 1: know very far into the, future but those are two

16:30 Speaker 1: players also from this golden age that it's just kind

16:35 Speaker 1: of something that happens when you have such a magnificent

16:38 Speaker 1: stretch for a. TEAM i can't speak to what that

16:41 Speaker 1: what's happening with The celtics BECAUSE i don't watch.

16:43 Speaker 2: Basketball oh, no IT'S i, mean you look up at

16:48 Speaker 2: the numbers and you're, like, OKAY i can see why

16:50 Speaker 2: these numbers are up, there but at some point you

16:53 Speaker 2: say to, yourself, like how many more are we gonna

16:57 Speaker 2: lift up? There? RIGHT i, Mean Jason tatum will likely

17:00 Speaker 2: be up there at some point in. Time but moving,

17:07 Speaker 2: on and for anyone who has tickets to the, game

17:10 Speaker 2: everyone will be provided with A Zadane olchara. Bobblehead so amazing,

20:51 Speaker 2: JERSEY i don't know what is happening with The New

20:56 Speaker 2: Jersey devils And Dougie hamilton and he's being healthy scratched

21:02 Speaker 2: and being told it's.

21:03 Speaker 1: Just a numbers. Game and this guy's back in the

21:06 Speaker 1: lineup and he's playing, better and he's got no movement,

21:10 Speaker 1: clauses and he said no to The San Jose sharks

21:13 Speaker 1: over the summer to be. Moved but now his agent is,

21:17 Speaker 1: saying you, know we're open to looking at a trade

21:21 Speaker 1: and may look the past are no you, know our

21:25 Speaker 1: list of teams and have no movement. Closet, well what

21:28 Speaker 1: the hell is happening? THERE i don't, KNOW i, mean

21:32 Speaker 1: what is going on In New? JERSEY i? KNOW I, well,

21:38 Speaker 1: hopefully well we'll have a new friend of the pot

21:40 Speaker 1: on sometimes soon to kind of enlighten, us because this

21:46 Speaker 1: seemed a little bit out of left field for me

21:48 Speaker 1: WHEN i saw this come, out AND i tend to

21:50 Speaker 1: be pretty aware of what's happening around the, league and

21:54 Speaker 1: so clearly something's a mess because between g uonder what

22:00 Speaker 1: actually happened at that rookie dinner With Jack, hughes.

22:06 Speaker 2: AND i still think there's more to meet the eye

22:08 Speaker 2: to that, story and only because we've had experience with

22:12 Speaker 2: that here In boston with a little hand injury To DAVID.

22:15 Speaker 1: Pastrona, okay so, right that's All i'm going to. Say about.

22:20 Speaker 1: That but then you, KNOW i Thought dougie was a

22:24 Speaker 1: pretty well liked member of the team and critical part

22:28 Speaker 1: of the, organization and then you, see, uh they're just

22:35 Speaker 1: in a tail spin as a, team and you're, like,

22:38 Speaker 1: what what is what is happening down? THERE i don't,

22:43 Speaker 1: Know so we're going to keep our eyes, open especially

22:46 Speaker 1: as we get closer and closer to the trade. Deadline

22:49 Speaker 1: there is a freeze for The olympics in terms of,

22:54 Speaker 1: Business so if we don't see anything in the next

23:00 Speaker 1: what is, it like two and a half, weeks we're

23:02 Speaker 1: not gonna see anything until almost the, deadline which we

23:06 Speaker 1: kind of have been speculating would be the case. Anyway

23:09 Speaker 1: so this is one that we're gonna we're gonna be

23:12 Speaker 1: keeping an eye on because he's a good, Player so

23:15 Speaker 1: this could be a pretty big deal that goes. DOWN

23:18 Speaker 1: i don't. Know it'll be interesting to see what.

23:21 Speaker 2: Happens and, yes he has been a solid player for,

23:24 Speaker 2: them AND i know he's he's had some some significant, injuries,

23:29 Speaker 2: yeah that have impacted him during his time with With New.

23:35 Speaker 2: JERSEY i also think he's a little bit of an odd.

23:38 Speaker 2: Ball that was some of what we've heard when he

23:41 Speaker 2: was here In, boston that he's kind of a, different different.

23:46 Speaker 2: Guy different cat doesn't mean good or, bad just, yeah but. Yeah,

23:51 Speaker 2: anyways it's just. Interesting it's like this stuff comes out of.

23:54 Speaker 2: Nowhere and you, KNOW i don't know if we want

23:57 Speaker 2: to give this story any life for food and want

24:00 Speaker 2: to just move.

24:00 Speaker 1: On but some of the the.

24:06 Speaker 2: Shitty stuff that's been heaved at Linus omark and members

24:11 Speaker 2: of The Attawa senators by people who should just stay

24:18 Speaker 2: in their basement and don't crawl out of the cesspool

24:22 Speaker 2: that is your basement. Awful and for those who are

24:26 Speaker 2: not familiar with what's happening here is Linus omark has

24:32 Speaker 2: taken a personal leave of absence from The Ottawa. Senators

24:36 Speaker 2: AND i think sometimes there are fans and maybe to

24:40 Speaker 2: some degree, media BUT i don't think media takes it

24:43 Speaker 2: this far that just feel that they need to know everybody's.

24:49 Speaker 2: Business they need to know why he's away from the

24:54 Speaker 2: team and why he's not there for the, team and you,

24:57 Speaker 2: know he's getting paid to play and block blah blah blah. Blah,

25:01 Speaker 2: Okay so then a story starts circulating which sounds so far.

25:09 Speaker 2: Fetched the fact that someone could just throw this shit

25:13 Speaker 2: out there and saying that players on The Ottawa senators

25:19 Speaker 2: are having extramarital, affairs that those affairs were and this

25:27 Speaker 2: was telling his wife about, them his wife told the other.

25:31 Speaker 2: JET i, mean it's just beyond ridiculous to the fact

25:36 Speaker 2: that The Ottawa senators issued a very very strong statement

25:45 Speaker 2: because in my, view the only way to respond to

25:49 Speaker 2: a bully is to be a bully. Back, Yeah and

25:53 Speaker 2: that statement basically pushed back on the bully or bullies

25:57 Speaker 2: who are dragging in a send people and families into

26:04 Speaker 2: this shit storm that shouldn't even be a shit. Storm

26:08 Speaker 2: And brady could choock, agreed spoke out and basically, said

26:14 Speaker 2: leave af freaking families.

26:16 Speaker 1: Alone this is.

26:17 Speaker 2: Bullshit we're Supporting lenus whatever he's going, through and they

26:22 Speaker 2: clearly know as teammates what he's going, through and the

26:27 Speaker 2: fact that they all have to be responding to this.

26:31 Speaker 2: Crap and, today this is WHY i say social media

26:36 Speaker 2: has been to some degree the ruination of society because

26:41 Speaker 2: it's so easy to hide behind your keyboard and type

26:44 Speaker 2: whatever the hell you want and see if it.

26:46 Speaker 1: Sticks as AS i always like to, say just because

26:49 Speaker 1: you can doesn't mean you. Should SO i applaud The

26:52 Speaker 1: Attawa senators for having their players backs and responding so.

26:58 Speaker 2: STRONGLY i think they even referred to them as liars and.

27:02 Speaker 2: Trolls all, right, now we're going to talk about some.

27:05 Speaker 2: Hockey when last we met The, bruins, well we're trending

27:10 Speaker 2: not in the right. Direction and it started with a

27:14 Speaker 2: disgusting loss to frustrating but disgusting loss to The Seattle

27:20 Speaker 2: kraken by a score of seven to. Four and this

27:25 Speaker 2: was not the first time that a six or seventh

27:29 Speaker 2: spot had been put up against The bruins this, season

27:34 Speaker 2: and it seems to be Consistently Jeremy, swayman who is

27:38 Speaker 2: in net when this. Happens now we can talk about

27:43 Speaker 2: whether or not you know this, workload if he's being

27:46 Speaker 2: impacted by this, workload because he was bearing the burden

27:51 Speaker 2: of a bunch of work where we hadn't Seen Jones

27:55 Speaker 2: corposalo in what seemed like it seems like weeks but

27:58 Speaker 2: likely days this. Point but the goaltending was not good

28:03 Speaker 2: in This nothing was really good in That seattle.

28:06 Speaker 1: Game and they gave up three power play goals on four,

28:10 Speaker 1: opportunities which again so first, reading, yeah it was.

28:14 Speaker 2: Frustrating it was. Frustrating you're again on a game where

28:18 Speaker 2: they were their own worst, enemies their own.

28:22 Speaker 1: Worst, yeah it was you know. What and it didn't

28:26 Speaker 1: start off. Terrible, uh they were in it for about

28:33 Speaker 1: thirty eight. Minutes they were doing what they needed to.

28:36 Speaker 1: Do was it their best?

28:37 Speaker 2: Hockey? No But alsto was basically putting the team on his.

28:41 Speaker 2: Back brady scored two beautiful. Goals.

28:44 Speaker 1: Yes, Well and as a, sidebar if this past week

28:50 Speaker 1: hasn't convinced, if if if The Boston bruins front office

28:56 Speaker 1: is telling, us these are your three candidates for who's

29:00 Speaker 1: to get THE ce, next let's assume that those are

29:03 Speaker 1: the only three candidates that we are allowed to choose.

29:05 Speaker 1: From if this past week has not convinced, you That

29:12 Speaker 1: David posternach should be the next one with, that, SEE

29:16 Speaker 1: i want to hear why because that, game the game

29:20 Speaker 1: against The.

29:21 Speaker 2: Rangers how many games does he have to put this

29:26 Speaker 2: team on his?

29:27 Speaker 1: Back and not in the way like we would see

29:32 Speaker 1: let's Say Brad, marshan who had a tenacity and he

29:35 Speaker 1: would just kind of have the attitude of all, right

29:38 Speaker 1: if you're not gonna do, It i'm gonna do, it

29:41 Speaker 1: And i'm gonna get you excited Because i'm gonna do it, right, correct.

29:44 Speaker 2: Because you're gonna follow. Me you're gonna follow, me yes, Promised.

29:48 Speaker 1: Lamb posternach's approach has Been i'm gonna feed you who the,

29:56 Speaker 1: Passes i'm gonna set up the, plays and by, god

30:01 Speaker 1: you're going to score the.

30:02 Speaker 2: Goal and that's what he did all. Week that is

30:07 Speaker 2: what he did all.

30:07 Speaker 1: Week and people have been, saying, well how Come David,

30:11 Speaker 1: pasternak you know his goal?

30:13 Speaker 2: Scoring where's his goal?

30:14 Speaker 1: Scoring my?

30:16 Speaker 2: Dude the points that he is wrecking.

30:19 Speaker 1: Up SO i just in the last four, games in

30:22 Speaker 1: the last four games the stretch that we're going to

30:24 Speaker 1: talk about right, now, folks from starting with the sixth

30:29 Speaker 1: and ending with the game that The bruins played On

30:31 Speaker 1: sunday night Against. Pittsburgh four, games, yep two goals and

30:36 Speaker 1: seven assists for pasta and you, know not far behind.

30:39 Speaker 1: Him and we're going to talk about, this kiddo when

30:42 Speaker 1: we get to The rangers, game because that was his

30:44 Speaker 1: coming out. Party Is marrekstadina four, games four, goals three,

30:50 Speaker 1: assists seven. Points and then you've got a steady diet

30:54 Speaker 1: of solid points From Pablo Zach Victor, Ardwardson Elias. Slyndholm,

31:00 Speaker 1: okay after That seattle game and the fact that they

31:03 Speaker 1: were embarrassed yet, again nobody was happy with the way they,

31:07 Speaker 1: played including. Themselves they come home on home ice and

31:12 Speaker 1: finally start turning things.

31:14 Speaker 2: Around Why Why because they finally play five the five

31:22 Speaker 2: hockey and staying for the most, part staying out of

31:27 Speaker 2: the dam penalty. Box.

31:29 Speaker 1: Yeah the other thing THAT i realized that you, know,

31:33 Speaker 1: yes we have said basically since almost since day, one

31:38 Speaker 1: the penalty box is the biggest. Issue that they have

31:42 Speaker 1: to be five on.

31:43 Speaker 2: Five but it's not even just that being at five

31:46 Speaker 2: on five is so key to their.

31:49 Speaker 1: Success it also.

31:52 Speaker 2: Then allows lines like the cast elect lines to do their.

31:59 Speaker 1: Job we have not seen The identity line do their

32:04 Speaker 1: thing in forever because they have not been able to

32:10 Speaker 1: play their game because of being in the penalty. Box

32:15 Speaker 1: you it's it's it's the penalty box has a multitude

32:21 Speaker 1: of negative. Impacts, Right it's not just, okay you're down a, Player,

32:26 Speaker 1: okay you then you may allow a. Goal it means

32:29 Speaker 1: that critical players can't be out there on the lines

32:34 Speaker 1: that they're most effective for the number of minutes that

32:37 Speaker 1: they need to be out there to be, effective and

32:40 Speaker 1: we are seeing a very immediate direct result of what

32:45 Speaker 1: happens when you're not going to the box constantly for

32:48 Speaker 1: stupid stick in, fractions.

32:49 Speaker 2: Right and it's a very different thing when you can

32:52 Speaker 2: put that trio that you referred to on a on

32:55 Speaker 2: a penalty kill as opposed to doing their regular. Job

32:59 Speaker 2: they can really be as aggressive as they are and

33:04 Speaker 2: as tenacious as you are because they're charged with the responsibility,

33:10 Speaker 2: of you, know helping to kill off a.

33:12 Speaker 1: Penalty.

33:13 Speaker 2: Right so it just stands to reason and IF i

33:20 Speaker 2: have said all along that in order for this team

33:24 Speaker 2: to be able to compete and play within the structure

33:29 Speaker 2: that they want to play, in it has.

33:31 Speaker 1: To be by the bye. Hockey, yes, yes and AMAZINGLY

33:38 Speaker 1: i mean not to jump too far. Ahead but not

33:43 Speaker 1: only did we see a reduction in trips to the penalty,

33:48 Speaker 1: box the trips we did see to the penalty box

33:51 Speaker 1: were not the idiotic stick in. Fractions you, know we're

33:55 Speaker 1: talking about trips. Holds not Because hampus Lind holme's not

34:01 Speaker 1: in a lineup right, now.

34:07 Speaker 2: Your favorite player right. Now the penalties are NOT.

34:11 Speaker 1: I LOVE i like his game when he's able to,

34:14 Speaker 1: play and he's not in the penalty. Box he's being

34:17 Speaker 1: a bonehead right, now well not now because he's out

34:20 Speaker 1: with them as three.

34:21 Speaker 2: Injury but.

34:23 Speaker 1: You, know there are certain acceptable and unacceptable, penalties and

34:32 Speaker 1: the fact of the matter is That boston was not

34:35 Speaker 1: only just getting a ridiculous number of, penalties the type

34:41 Speaker 1: of penalty is also. Huge and so the penalties that

34:45 Speaker 1: we did see WERE i almost want to call them

34:50 Speaker 1: either justifiable penalties because they were maybe a match penalty

34:56 Speaker 1: or like a not necessarily match but simultaneous penalty with

35:01 Speaker 1: the other, team or sometimes they're, unavoidable you, know watching

35:04 Speaker 1: my nerves right or like it, happens it's a it's

35:10 Speaker 1: a stupid. Penalty but like look. Physics you, Know i'm

35:15 Speaker 1: not going to be mad At MASON lowrii for sending

35:18 Speaker 1: a puck. Out it's not like he does it all the.

35:20 Speaker 1: Time but you, know the rest of, Them, OKAY i

35:24 Speaker 1: can live with that because this is. Hockey that's that's

35:28 Speaker 1: what the game. Is SO i was pleased on the,

35:31 Speaker 1: whole especially in that.

35:33 Speaker 2: Regard, no it was it was nice to see because,

35:38 Speaker 2: again concern was building up for me in that you,

35:42 Speaker 2: know you keep leaving points or losing. Games and This Eastern, conference,

35:47 Speaker 2: right no one really seems to want to separate themselves

35:51 Speaker 2: in The, east so you're leaving crucial points on the

35:56 Speaker 2: table at this point in. Time so you, know The

36:01 Speaker 2: bruins come.

36:01 Speaker 1: Back home and they right the ship against The Calgary,

36:07 Speaker 1: flames a little bit of redemption after having lost to

36:10 Speaker 1: them on the.

36:11 Speaker 2: Road came up with a four to one. Win we

36:14 Speaker 2: had a little bit of balance scoring in that, game

36:16 Speaker 2: which was nice to. See we had goals From Sean,

36:19 Speaker 2: Corally Elias lindholme and even strength goal From Elias lindholme

36:24 Speaker 2: And Mason murai And Casey middlestat Or pasalo saved their

36:30 Speaker 2: ass in this, game especially in the second period where you,

36:36 Speaker 2: know The bruins Let calgary think that they had some

36:39 Speaker 2: signs of life and you, know spent a little bit

36:43 Speaker 2: more time than they should have in The bruins defensive.

36:47 Speaker 2: Zone and here's a good stat in this, game this

36:51 Speaker 2: is where you start to see a little bit of

36:53 Speaker 2: a turnaround for The. Bruins only three penalties taken in this,

36:59 Speaker 2: game one for a. Period that's not a lot to ask.

37:02 Speaker 2: Guys one penalty per period is. Doable, yeah and not

37:09 Speaker 2: a single one of them was a stick in, Fraction

37:11 Speaker 2: so you, know.

37:12 Speaker 1: These are penalties that are part of, game you, know,

37:16 Speaker 1: interference a, trip, okay, fine you. Know the other key

37:20 Speaker 1: element was That boston scored. First they are definitely a

37:26 Speaker 1: team that needs that right, now because it's it's it's

37:31 Speaker 1: always going to be harder when you're you're the team

37:36 Speaker 1: that doesn't score first to have you always then have

37:40 Speaker 1: to score two goals to get at least, ahead you,

37:44 Speaker 1: know and.

37:46 Speaker 2: It's just a much harder.

37:48 Speaker 1: Lift and this, team while they are not a bad,

37:52 Speaker 1: team their ability to convert on their many many excellent,

37:58 Speaker 1: plays many excellent, chances all these, opportunities it's just something

38:03 Speaker 1: that's not happening with a frequency that we would certainly

38:07 Speaker 1: like to. See and so to start a game ahead

38:12 Speaker 1: is particularly critical for this team this, season and chasing

38:17 Speaker 1: a game takes more energy and it just. Does it

38:22 Speaker 1: stands to, reason it just. Does, Yes And i'm still

38:26 Speaker 1: super nervous when we go into a second. Period that

38:30 Speaker 1: still seems to be for the most part the time

38:37 Speaker 1: that If boston has a good control over the, first

38:41 Speaker 1: the second period is still seemingly the exception of The

38:45 Speaker 1: rangers game their weakest, period so it's still mildly. Stressful

38:52 Speaker 1: BUT i was glad That boston was able to capitalize

38:56 Speaker 1: in The calgary game on the continued chances That corposollo gave,

39:01 Speaker 1: them because many a time we have seen them squander those,

39:04 Speaker 1: chances AND i think in this case some of this

39:08 Speaker 1: was luck Because Dustin wolf had played the night, before

39:13 Speaker 1: and typically you don't in MODERN nhl. Games you're not

39:17 Speaker 1: seeing your starting goaltender do that that you're really seeing

39:23 Speaker 1: those get. Split and you, know Whatever calgary's strategy, was

39:29 Speaker 1: they're fighting to try and make the, playoffs so they're

39:32 Speaker 1: throwing whatever they can at. Them wolf is a fantastic.

39:36 Speaker 1: Goaltender the travel wasn't very. Far he really stymied The

39:42 Speaker 1: bruins forwards in their last, game like they really just

39:46 Speaker 1: couldn't get past. Him and so maybe the fact that

39:49 Speaker 1: he had played the night before was just enough that

39:54 Speaker 1: they were then able to actually get through.

39:56 Speaker 2: HIM i don't, know but it worked.

39:59 Speaker 1: OUT i don't. Care as long as we get the

40:02 Speaker 1: w that's that's that's that's A calgary, problem not A

40:05 Speaker 1: ruin ye, As i'm. Concerned so the fact that you

40:10 Speaker 1: know they, have they're taking advantage of those. Opportunities, yeah

40:14 Speaker 1: is is big in my. View so then let's fast

40:19 Speaker 1: forward to the game that Was NATIONAL tv Game january

40:25 Speaker 1: tenth or two original. Sixteens, Yeah York rangers celebrating their centennial,

40:31 Speaker 1: season so they wore their centennial, jerseys which Gave They've

40:36 Speaker 1: bruins the opportunity to wear their home whites for a,

40:41 Speaker 1: change which was cool to. See i'm still old. SCHOOL

40:45 Speaker 1: i PREFER i would like to see from whites more

40:49 Speaker 1: often than. Not but whatever the case may.

40:52 Speaker 2: Be and you thought at Pet drop that this was

40:57 Speaker 2: going to be don't even tell me this is going

41:00 Speaker 2: to be the same as The Black friday game because

41:05 Speaker 2: second shot on Goal micausavanajad sport to WHICH i said

41:11 Speaker 2: in our, Discord swimon better be on a short leash

41:14 Speaker 2: today Because i'm not watching another seven spot and put

41:19 Speaker 2: up on The.

41:19 Speaker 1: Growers, yeah but, boy oh, boy did they make me

41:24 Speaker 1: eat my. Words The Boston Ruins yeah. Yeah ten.

41:30 Speaker 2: Goals, Yeah it's been a minute since they've had a

41:34 Speaker 2: game like.

41:34 Speaker 1: THAT i mean ten freaking, goals two different players with

41:41 Speaker 1: hat tricks.

41:42 Speaker 2: And a third on a hattie WATCH.

41:46 Speaker 1: I Mean maret Wh's tadanov? Like four? Goals, yeah four.

41:52 Speaker 2: Goals David pasternak six six assists points tied the, record

41:58 Speaker 2: the franchise record from most points in a single, game

42:02 Speaker 2: currently held by Both Ken hodge And Bobby.

42:06 Speaker 1: ORR i, mean it's, unbelievable. Unbelievable and not to take

42:13 Speaker 1: away anything from The bruins at, all because they they

42:21 Speaker 1: obviously they played really. Well but, again the thing That

42:27 Speaker 1: boston was able to do was to actually take advantage

42:30 Speaker 1: of the situation and, convert because the situation was the

42:39 Speaker 1: fact that Surprisingly Jonathan QUICK i believe he's the Winningest

42:46 Speaker 1: american goaltender in any tel AND i think that was.

42:50 Speaker 2: THAT abc was, right was a. MCDONAUGH i forget who said.

42:53 Speaker 2: It that was a Mercyful that wasn't all On. QUICK

42:57 Speaker 2: i mean, no, no it wasn't continue, dude after he got.

43:01 Speaker 1: Pulled you, know he's he's a fantastic, goaltender so and

43:06 Speaker 1: he's been put in this position where you, know he's

43:08 Speaker 1: an older. Goaltender his job is back, up it's just

43:13 Speaker 1: striking is. Out he hurt his knee and Then Adam, fox,

43:18 Speaker 1: yes and so it just seemed And quick also wasn't

43:23 Speaker 1: on his. GAME i mean to quote, you he was

43:26 Speaker 1: throwing a lot of pizzas out. There an just absolutely,

43:30 Speaker 1: unreal and this is something that this is not something

43:32 Speaker 1: that we have seen from a player of quick. Pedigree

43:37 Speaker 1: so they had a goaltender that was just giving them

43:41 Speaker 1: shots back to continue to pepper him. With and it

43:46 Speaker 1: seemed like The rangers just didn't show, up which is

43:52 Speaker 1: a surprise because they have been one of the best

43:56 Speaker 1: road teams and not just like good they annihilate teams

44:03 Speaker 1: on the.

44:03 Speaker 2: Road and that's WHY i was so shocking and WHY

44:06 Speaker 2: i was clenching my guts as soon as the buck

44:09 Speaker 2: dropped Where i'm, like.

44:11 Speaker 1: Are you kidding?

44:11 Speaker 2: Me be one of these games where The rangers are

44:14 Speaker 2: going to score a boatload of goals on someone else's.

44:17 Speaker 2: Ice that was the third loss in a row for The. Villagers,

44:22 Speaker 2: YES i was JUST i just pulled up thirteen. Stats

44:25 Speaker 2: so they lost To utah in overtime three to.

44:29 Speaker 1: Two they had a couple of days, off they lost

44:33 Speaker 1: The sabers five to, two and then they lost to

44:36 Speaker 1: The bees into two ouch OUCH. I this game for

44:43 Speaker 1: The Boston, BRUINS i think was one of the most

44:48 Speaker 1: important games that they could have right, now And i'll

44:52 Speaker 1: tell you why we are in the dog days of the.

44:59 Speaker 1: Season this is when it becomes a real. Slog you're

45:03 Speaker 1: at that point where you've been playing all of these.

45:08 Speaker 1: Games it's been compounded by the fact that they've been

45:13 Speaker 1: playing more games in a shorter period of. Time april

45:18 Speaker 1: still feels like a long ways away because it, is, yes,

45:23 Speaker 1: okay it is still very far away for this team

45:27 Speaker 1: that has gone up and. Down they have struggled as

45:32 Speaker 1: a team, mentally things just not going their. WAY a

45:36 Speaker 1: game like this hopefully reminded them that it's fun to

45:40 Speaker 1: play that it reminded them of the joy of what

45:45 Speaker 1: they get to do all every day of the, week and.

45:51 Speaker 2: Hopefully took some of that pressure off and just.

45:55 Speaker 1: Gave Them i'm not GONNA i don't want to say

45:58 Speaker 1: an easy, win because no win in The National Hockey

46:00 Speaker 1: league is an easy.

46:01 Speaker 2: Win but to just have a game like this where

46:06 Speaker 2: you've got all these fun things.

46:09 Speaker 1: Happening you've Got Pavel, zaka who's been in the league

46:13 Speaker 1: for a while, now he's a.

46:14 Speaker 2: Veteran ever first hat trick like that's. Phenomenal the team's gonna.

46:19 Speaker 2: LINE i felt a little badly for, him BECAUSE i

46:21 Speaker 2: don't think it was as celebrated as it would normally

46:24 Speaker 2: be because of that very late. Goal was it in

46:28 Speaker 2: the first, Period that wasn't really it wasn't looked at

46:33 Speaker 2: until you, know after the period was overain some degree

46:37 Speaker 2: and called a, Goal so things might not have been

46:40 Speaker 2: aware of the fact, that oh he got credited.

46:43 Speaker 1: With that they were.

46:44 Speaker 2: GOAL i mean friend of the Pod Mary, beth she

46:47 Speaker 2: was at the. Game she was already in line at

46:49 Speaker 2: the bathroom when.

46:49 Speaker 1: They called them.

46:50 Speaker 2: Back she didn't know that it.

46:51 Speaker 1: Happened but you, know it's gonna be an uplifting thing

46:55 Speaker 1: for the team to have him experience, this a veteran

46:58 Speaker 1: getting his first, kid getting his first In Husnadina minton

47:03 Speaker 1: get in two goals and contributing like he's been, contributing

47:08 Speaker 1: and pasta just being at the center of all of these.

47:11 Speaker 1: Plays like they needed a game like this with a

47:15 Speaker 1: result like, that to just lift them up out of

47:20 Speaker 1: the doldrums of this time of, year because the very

47:24 Speaker 1: next game was against The, penguins and it's back to.

47:28 Speaker 1: Business it's buckled down and get serious because they are

47:32 Speaker 1: fighting for a wild card spot up against The, penguins

47:36 Speaker 1: and AND i thought it was?

47:38 Speaker 2: Hysterical was it early on in the? Game where was

47:42 Speaker 2: It rempi who was wanting to go With zadorov or

47:46 Speaker 2: the other way? Around and the kid is just, like

47:48 Speaker 2: are you are you? Stupid are? You karin is already Toothpaste?

47:52 Speaker 1: Marina, YES i, mean are you truly? Stupid good On

47:55 Speaker 1: nikita for like saying TO i can't even? Bother Was

47:58 Speaker 1: someway right? Away? Exactly. Yeah and we joke in the

48:05 Speaker 1: in the discord, like, okay so is If boston scored ten,

48:11 Speaker 1: goals are they going to have any goals to score

48:13 Speaker 1: against The?

48:14 Speaker 2: Penguins, well.

48:17 Speaker 1: They had one goal and that's all they needed to

48:21 Speaker 1: get through that. Game that one was.

48:24 Speaker 2: Stressful that one was very stressful for.

48:27 Speaker 1: Me, WELL i think that game is the very definition

48:31 Speaker 1: of the grinded out games that we thought we would

48:34 Speaker 1: see when they announced, That, okay this is the way

48:37 Speaker 1: we want to, play this is our defensive.

48:39 Speaker 2: Structure JUST i just want to quickly go back one.

48:43 Speaker 2: Point on The rangers, game there was a penalty shot

48:49 Speaker 2: awarded To Vincent trocheck which was just fucking, ridiculous fucking.

48:56 Speaker 2: Ridiculous i'm sorry that was that was only made. Twofold

49:01 Speaker 2: in my, view the ref's feeling sorry for The New

49:04 Speaker 2: York rangers and the fact that they're on NATIONAL. Tv,

49:07 Speaker 2: oh let's throw a penalty shot in here for our

49:10 Speaker 2: NATIONAL tv. Audiences like it was Just, Lane it was absolutely.

49:16 Speaker 2: Lame you didn't have a clean, breakaway he was.

49:18 Speaker 1: Not there was not enough separation between him And charlie

49:22 Speaker 1: McAvoy to warrant a penalty. Shot so very, lame very.

49:28 Speaker 1: LAME i agree on the part of the.

49:31 Speaker 2: OFFICIALS i thought it was a Garbage to, me it's

49:34 Speaker 2: embarrassing as an official that you're making that call to

49:38 Speaker 2: award a penalty.

49:39 Speaker 1: Shot we move, on we move. On, yeah so uh it.

49:43 Speaker 2: Wins The penguins came to. Town Sidney crosby came to.

49:46 Speaker 2: Town he's always still very much so a threat That.

49:49 Speaker 1: Core you Got, Crosby, malkins still got gas in the.

49:53 Speaker 2: Tank. Tang the tang is still a little gnat on.

49:57 Speaker 1: Defense and no shortage of Former bruins players on that.

50:02 Speaker 1: Team apparently people's favorite colors are black and, yellow because

50:07 Speaker 1: we had we saw Justin, brazo.

50:10 Speaker 2: We Saw Parker.

50:11 Speaker 1: Wilderspoon he's he's he's their number he's one of their

50:15 Speaker 1: number One darren, guys that's. Yeah Conor clifton, There, YES i.

50:20 Speaker 1: Forgot he got traded From buffalo And corpusalo was just,

50:26 Speaker 1: Fantastic AND i think he was that fantastic because he

50:30 Speaker 1: had played within the.

50:31 Speaker 2: Week we know he's.

50:32 Speaker 1: Good he a Good, God, yeah he's he's, yes, yes, yes,

50:37 Speaker 1: yes and. Yes but you can't go oho for six

50:41 Speaker 1: on the power.

50:41 Speaker 2: PLAY i understand that The penguins are the number one

50:45 Speaker 2: penalty killing team in the, league but you still can't

50:48 Speaker 2: Go oho for six in a one nothing. Game you've

50:53 Speaker 2: got to capitalize on one or two of those opportunities

50:57 Speaker 2: to give yourself. Separation because what you do in an

51:01 Speaker 2: instance like, that when you have the likes Of Sidney

51:05 Speaker 2: crosby And Guinny malkin and the rest of the cast of, characters,

51:10 Speaker 2: hey you are giving them an opportunity to get themselves

51:14 Speaker 2: back in the. Game and there was no shortages of, that,

51:18 Speaker 2: ESPECIALLY i believe was it in the second period Where

51:23 Speaker 2: jonas had to make SOME a plus plus saves Against Sidney.

51:28 Speaker 1: Croski, yes he took a direct shot and then sid

51:31 Speaker 1: got the puck back on a rebound and then tried

51:34 Speaker 1: to do a backhanded shot right along the post And

51:38 Speaker 1: corpie was there with his.

51:39 Speaker 2: Glove it was unbelievable to see him.

51:43 Speaker 1: Just so on his. Game and you, Know boston came

51:47 Speaker 1: out really strong in that. Game in the first, period

51:50 Speaker 1: they led in shots on, goal but then from There

51:53 Speaker 1: pittsburgh was just throwing everything that they had at The,

51:56 Speaker 1: bruins at Corpus allo and they just couldn't get couldn't get.

52:01 Speaker 1: THROUGH i will Say i'm in one hundred percent agreement with.

52:05 Speaker 1: You when you have six power play, opportunities you got

52:08 Speaker 1: to convert on at least one of. Them, however if

52:11 Speaker 1: the trade off is staying out of the, box staying

52:15 Speaker 1: at five on at least having five players out there

52:18 Speaker 1: at all, Times i'm. Okay i'm okay with that trade.

52:21 Speaker 1: OFF i would rather see you know WHAT i, mean

52:24 Speaker 1: if we're only allowed to have one thing, again, yes,

52:28 Speaker 1: yes and. NO i mean you only had four shots on.

52:32 Speaker 1: Goal The bruins only had four shots on goal in

52:35 Speaker 1: the second period and many four shots on goal in

52:37 Speaker 1: the third, Period and So i'm looking at that going

52:40 Speaker 1: you had six kicks at a power play, opportunity even

52:43 Speaker 1: if you make it tune an. Up you have.

52:45 Speaker 2: To i'm, sorry you've got to be able to.

52:47 Speaker 1: Convert you have.

52:48 Speaker 2: To, so but they walk away with the crucial points

52:54 Speaker 2: that we. Need they are maintaining a push for a.

52:59 Speaker 1: While spot ahead of them right now is The Buffalo, sabers,

53:07 Speaker 1: who for some, reason pretty much everyone else in these

53:10 Speaker 1: races has played like forty four to forty five to

53:13 Speaker 1: forty six. Games buffalo's only played forty. Three it just

53:16 Speaker 1: doesn't make any sense to. Me but you are maintaining

53:20 Speaker 1: pace with The Washington.

53:21 Speaker 2: Capitals, yeah the only they have more loser points than you,

53:25 Speaker 2: do which is why they are ahead of you in That,

53:30 Speaker 2: well you have the same number of, points but because

53:33 Speaker 2: they have more loser, points.

53:35 Speaker 1: Yes they have, Also so The, capitals they've played forty six.

53:40 Speaker 1: Games they have twenty three wins To boston's twenty five,

53:44 Speaker 1: wins which is just. Obnoxious But boston, has you, know nineteen.

53:51 Speaker 1: Losses washington has seventeen. Losses but the difference there is

53:57 Speaker 1: again the overtime losses for The capitals is six and

54:01 Speaker 1: The bruins is. Two otherwise they are identical at fifty two.

54:05 Speaker 1: Points their points percentage is the same at five sixty

54:08 Speaker 1: five it's it's the.

54:12 Speaker 2: OVERTIME i, mean it's. Idiotic it's. Idiotic this, whole this

54:18 Speaker 2: whole wild card scenario race is is crazy because you've

54:23 Speaker 2: got The caps The bruins at fifty two. Points don't look,

54:29 Speaker 2: now but The Maple leafs are starting to figure things

54:32 Speaker 2: out In toronto and they're only they got their games in, hand,

54:36 Speaker 2: right and they have two games in. Hand they're sniffing

54:38 Speaker 2: on everyone's feels at fifty one, points as are The Pittsburgh. Penguins,

54:43 Speaker 2: now those those points last night were crucial for The

54:46 Speaker 2: bees as well as very hurtful to The.

54:49 Speaker 1: Penguins, yeah so. Yep, well and one other stat THAT

54:53 Speaker 1: i want to throw out there to point out to

54:55 Speaker 1: folks that's really really easy to understand and see when

54:59 Speaker 1: you're looking at the you, know let's say THE nhl

55:02 Speaker 1: dot com standing or any place that you go to

55:04 Speaker 1: look at the, standings typically teams that makes the playoffs

55:11 Speaker 1: are the ones that have a positive goal. Differential it's

55:14 Speaker 1: that diffdiff column that you'll, see and everyone below The

55:20 Speaker 1: Pittsburgh penguins has a negative gold, differential and that's typically

55:25 Speaker 1: not a good sign of things to. Come everybody, ELSE

55:30 Speaker 1: i mean is in the in the positive of for

55:33 Speaker 1: crying out. Loud The Tampa Bay lightning are at a

55:35 Speaker 1: plus thirty nine and The Red wings have come seemingly

55:39 Speaker 1: out of nowhere as, well BECAUSE i think it's just

55:42 Speaker 1: because we haven't seen much Of detroit play against The.

55:45 Speaker 1: Bruins all the other divisional team.

55:47 Speaker 2: Know and talk about a guy who's found the fountain of,

55:50 Speaker 2: youth As Patrick kane has. Been, yeah for, them they

55:55 Speaker 2: they're coming.

55:56 Speaker 1: In they're coming into THE Td garden having one three

56:00 Speaker 1: games in a, row, yes five three win Against, ottawa

56:05 Speaker 1: five one win against The canucks and a four nothing

56:09 Speaker 1: drubbing of The Montreal.

56:10 Speaker 2: Canadiens, now The Red wings are playing Tonight Monday night

56:17 Speaker 2: against The Carolina hurricanes and then need to make their

56:21 Speaker 2: way To boston play The bruins On tuesday, night which

56:24 Speaker 2: is a seven thirty start time because the game is

56:27 Speaker 2: being carried BY. Tnt detroit is at the top of

56:32 Speaker 2: The ATLANTIC ps standings right.

56:35 Speaker 1: Now so, yeah and this IS i, mean this is

56:37 Speaker 1: this is one where we can't leave points on the

56:39 Speaker 1: table because, oh absolutely. Not The Red wings Are they're

56:43 Speaker 1: twelve seven and three when they're, away so they're not

56:48 Speaker 1: necessarily guaranteed to run away with. It when it comes

56:52 Speaker 1: to playing In, boston they have more overtime losses on

56:58 Speaker 1: the road than they do at. Home so hopefully this

57:03 Speaker 1: means that we're going to see a good competitive game

57:07 Speaker 1: and That boston just, again if they stay out of the,

57:09 Speaker 1: box they continue doing what they've been doing this past,

57:12 Speaker 1: week they're gonna be. Okay they're gonna be. Okay then

57:14 Speaker 1: we have The.

57:16 Speaker 2: Kraken coming into town on a Reneaf thursday, night, yese

57:22 Speaker 2: The bruins will exact a little bit of, revenge, Yes

57:25 Speaker 2: and then they head off To chicago for An original

57:29 Speaker 2: six matchup against The, blackhawks who they've had a bit

57:34 Speaker 2: of an up and, down up and, down up and down.

57:37 Speaker 1: Season and that's another centennial. Team so there are three

57:40 Speaker 1: centennial teams in twenty twenty, six And detroit seems to

57:45 Speaker 1: be the only one that's having a good centennial season

57:49 Speaker 1: as opposed to The New York rangers and The chicago

57:52 Speaker 1: Black rangers and the Black.

57:54 Speaker 2: Hawks where, YEAH i DON'T i don't feel. THAT i

57:59 Speaker 2: don't feel after, that all, Right so but, Again, Bruins

58:04 Speaker 2: bruins are doing what they need to, do figured out

58:07 Speaker 2: that they need to stay out of the penalty.

58:09 Speaker 1: Box is it? Sustainable let's hope that it, is because

58:13 Speaker 1: clearly they've seen the benefit of successful results when they

58:18 Speaker 1: play five on five.

58:19 Speaker 2: Hockey And i'm not saying that they're. Not there's not

58:22 Speaker 2: going to be a game where there's an abundance of.

58:25 Speaker 2: Penalties but it can't be the norm any.

58:29 Speaker 1: LONGER i just.

58:30 Speaker 2: Can't here's hoping for a good. Week let's, hope all,

58:34 Speaker 2: Right so now we're going to get to our stick

58:36 Speaker 2: taps and penalty. Box, yes why don't we start with stick?

58:40 Speaker 1: Taps. UNSCORPUSLO i, mean he was amazing in his two

58:46 Speaker 1: games that we saw in the past. Week he gave

58:49 Speaker 1: The bruins every opportunity they actually took advantage of, it

58:54 Speaker 1: AND i WAS i couldn't believe. IT i, MEAN i

58:58 Speaker 1: should not have been so, prize BUT i. Was that

59:01 Speaker 1: it was the first shutout of the season by The.

59:03 Speaker 1: BEES i, KNOW i found that that was a very standarding,

59:07 Speaker 1: statistic but, wow, Yeah usually we're not seeing that happen

59:11 Speaker 1: for the first time In. January usually it's, LIKE i don't,

59:14 Speaker 1: know end Of, october sometime In, november right, right, Right

59:19 Speaker 1: but stick taps to the entire team for staying well

59:23 Speaker 1: behaved and keeping their hands to, themselves for their limited. Penalties,

59:28 Speaker 1: finally and of course the ultimate stick tap to That

59:34 Speaker 1: corally you Know castel like, LINE i mean that identity line.

59:39 Speaker 2: When they have they were they were good against The,

59:42 Speaker 2: rangers but, shit they were really good against The. Penguins

59:46 Speaker 2: they gave The penguins fits last, night app And marco

59:51 Speaker 2: wasn't afraid to play them Against crosby's, line which is

59:57 Speaker 2: that speaks volumes the job that those guys are. DOING i, agree,

1:00:03 Speaker 2: Yeah and you Know corrally's for like he's gonna jokingly

1:00:07 Speaker 2: say an old, man but old by hoppey standards on this.

1:00:10 Speaker 2: Team wropping the, gloves, yes, right mixing it, up not

1:00:14 Speaker 2: afraid to mix it.

1:00:15 Speaker 1: Up he's been waking up the you, know in the past,

1:00:18 Speaker 1: month so it's it's good to. See it's good to see.

1:00:20 Speaker 1: Him was in the penalty. Box what's in the penalty?

1:00:23 Speaker 1: BOX i mean the power, play which is just kind of.

1:00:26 Speaker 1: Ironic it's, like, uh, what what's that game The woodchucks

1:00:31 Speaker 1: or The gophers whatever that popped their head up and,

1:00:34 Speaker 1: oh whack them moll, as not even closed whack them

1:00:36 Speaker 1: all whack a. Mole, yeah you, know so this this

1:00:39 Speaker 1: week it's it's the power. PLAY i, mean one for

1:00:42 Speaker 1: three Against, seattle oh for Two, calgary one for three

1:00:46 Speaker 1: Against New, york oh for six against The.

1:00:49 Speaker 2: Pens not good, Enough not good.

1:00:52 Speaker 1: Enough and it's not for a lack of not having

1:00:54 Speaker 1: people that are able to. Score you.

1:00:58 Speaker 2: Know the one thing we didn't touch upon during this

1:01:01 Speaker 2: series of, games and we can just do it quickly

1:01:03 Speaker 2: here BECAUSE i know we're at just about a time Is.

1:01:07 Speaker 2: Morgan geeky has seemed to have hit a little bit

1:01:10 Speaker 2: of a roadwalk with, scoring and he had some game

1:01:15 Speaker 2: close in a couple of. OPPORTUNITIES i think he had

1:01:17 Speaker 2: been he was deferring a little too much in these

1:01:22 Speaker 2: in these recent.

1:01:23 Speaker 1: Games but we need to get him back back on

1:01:27 Speaker 1: his scoring scoring.

1:01:29 Speaker 2: Track And i'm not putting him in the penalty box

1:01:32 Speaker 2: because if it's not for, him, no, no this team

1:01:35 Speaker 2: would be in a freaking rail of heart right.

1:01:38 Speaker 1: Now but it's just something to look out.

1:01:40 Speaker 2: FOR i think his particular situation is two, things.

1:01:44 Speaker 1: Right it's the league has gotten wise to him and

1:01:50 Speaker 1: now are they're viewing him as a legitimate, threat and

1:01:53 Speaker 1: so they're going to cover him.

1:01:55 Speaker 2: More they're going to go after him, more just like

1:01:56 Speaker 2: they do With.

1:01:57 Speaker 1: Pasta and the other thing is players have these things,

1:02:00 Speaker 1: happen and he just needs something to spark. Him so

1:02:06 Speaker 1: if that means hopefully when he's, back that he gets

1:02:09 Speaker 1: some playing time With pasta to get lit up, Again

1:02:12 Speaker 1: i'm sure they're going to figure it out and they're

1:02:14 Speaker 1: going to get him squared, away BECAUSE i don't he

1:02:16 Speaker 1: is not a flash in the. PAN i really don't think. So,

1:02:19 Speaker 1: NO i don't think so.

1:02:20 Speaker 2: EITHER i know that that was something that was kind

1:02:23 Speaker 2: of a monkey on his back right where he came from.

1:02:26 Speaker 2: Previously but let's just. Hope and, AGAIN i think all

1:02:31 Speaker 2: all scores go through a little bit of a. Lull

1:02:35 Speaker 2: we've seen it happen across the. League we've seen it

1:02:38 Speaker 2: happen To David. Postorov just let's hope it's just.

1:02:42 Speaker 1: Temporary. Yes so with that, said folks know The ruins

1:02:46 Speaker 1: are still fighting for a wild card. Spot all we

1:02:49 Speaker 1: can ask them to do is continue, fighting continue playing

1:02:53 Speaker 1: up to their.

1:02:54 Speaker 2: Abilities and with, THAT i would like to thank everyone for.
