Bruins Bamboozle us Again | Snap Shots Episode 46

0:00 Speaker 1: As they say, fool me once, shame on you. Fool

0:04 Speaker 1: me twice, shame on me. The Bruins tease their skills

0:07 Speaker 1: with a surprisingly solid win against the Carolina Hurricanes, but

0:12 Speaker 1: they couldn't keep it up long enough into the second

0:14 Speaker 1: half of a back to back against the Buffalo Sabers.

0:17 Speaker 1: We should have known better than to get excited. This

0:20 Speaker 1: is a Bruins tape to tape snapshot.

0:25 Speaker 2: If we're all looking for a reason to continue watching

0:28 Speaker 2: the remainder of the Bruins games this season after they

0:32 Speaker 2: have been officially eliminated from playoff contention, I'm here to

0:38 Speaker 2: tell you that the newly formed line of David Pasternach,

0:43 Speaker 2: Morgan Geeky, and Elias Lindholm is becoming much must watch TV.

0:50 Speaker 2: I'll start with the game against the Carolina Hurricanes, and

0:54 Speaker 2: who saw this coming, Folks, certainly not me. The Bruins

0:58 Speaker 2: beat a very good Carolina Hurricane by a Hurricanes team,

1:03 Speaker 2: excuse me, by a score of five to one, and

1:07 Speaker 2: the stars of the show were David Pasternach, Eliaslundholm, and

1:13 Speaker 2: Morgan Geeky. They single handedly dismantled the first line and

1:21 Speaker 2: one of the top defensive pairings in the league single handedly,

1:26 Speaker 2: with David Pasternach netting a natural hat trick, and his

1:32 Speaker 2: name is now being spoken in the same sentences of

1:38 Speaker 2: records with held by Bobby Orr and Phil Esposito, which

1:43 Speaker 2: is pretty damn good company in my book. Jeremy Swayman

1:47 Speaker 2: was also extremely solid in this game, and the Bruins

1:52 Speaker 2: played one of the best games that they have played

1:57 Speaker 2: since the trade deadline. And they also finally snapped their

2:03 Speaker 2: losing streak and treated the Boston Garden crowd with the

2:08 Speaker 2: Ted Garden crowd, to a much needed entertaining game. Now

2:14 Speaker 2: fast forward to Sunday night against the Buffalo Sabers, where

2:20 Speaker 2: the Bruins lost by a score of six to three,

2:25 Speaker 2: and once again their demise was the second period. It

2:30 Speaker 2: has become befuddling, frustrating, mind boggling as to what happens

2:38 Speaker 2: to the Boston Bruins in the second period of hockey games.

2:43 Speaker 2: They made things for the Sabers so easy, extremely easy,

2:49 Speaker 2: too easy. You had instances of two Bruins players covering

2:56 Speaker 2: the same Sabers player and other players being left alone

3:01 Speaker 2: and unattended. It's unfortunate that they weren't able to build

3:06 Speaker 2: on the good things that they did in the game

3:09 Speaker 2: against Carolina, but the one steadying force was once again

3:15 Speaker 2: the trio of Morgan Geeky, Elias Lindholme and David Pasternach.

3:21 Speaker 2: This newly put together line is doing magical things on

3:27 Speaker 2: the ice together, and in my opinion, they are likely

3:31 Speaker 2: going to be one of the few reasons that we

3:35 Speaker 2: will continue tuning in to watch the rest of this

3:40 Speaker 2: very disappointing and frustrating season for the Boston Bruins.

3:45 Speaker 1: Maybe all this adversity will help bring the new team

3:48 Speaker 1: leaders together. It's certainly been evident in the play of Pasternach,

3:51 Speaker 1: Geeky and Linholm. The Bees play next on Tuesday night

3:55 Speaker 1: down in New Jersey against the Devils. The last time

3:58 Speaker 1: the Bruins played the Devils, they were spanked five to one.

4:02 Speaker 1: Not surprisingly, in game one of the season, the Bruins

4:05 Speaker 1: started out strong with a goal just shy of six

4:08 Speaker 1: minutes in by Morgan Geeky, assisted by Pasta and Zaka.

4:13 Speaker 1: They then fell apart during this second period, which is

4:16 Speaker 1: clearly the theme and likely the epitaph on the twenty

4:20 Speaker 1: twenty four twenty twenty five season Tombstone. Jeremy Swayman has

4:24 Speaker 1: shown some improvement over the weekend, but as I said

4:27 Speaker 1: at the top of the snapshot, don't get fooled and

4:30 Speaker 1: assume that there will be any consistency in this department.

4:34 Speaker 1: We've been hoodwinked too many times this year. New Jersey

4:38 Speaker 1: will be looking to punch their ticket to the playoffs

4:40 Speaker 1: as soon as possible. The Devils have eighty nine points

4:44 Speaker 1: and are five four and one in their last ten

4:47 Speaker 1: with a three game win streak. They are breathing a

4:50 Speaker 1: sigh of relief that the two wild card teams are

4:53 Speaker 1: both in the Atlantic Division. Ottawa currently has ninety points

4:57 Speaker 1: and Montreal has eighty five. The Ranger are still very

5:01 Speaker 1: much so a threat to the Devils at this time,

5:04 Speaker 1: even though it's not likely that they will catch New

5:07 Speaker 1: Jersey by midnight next week. Regardless, expect a hungry and

5:11 Speaker 1: focused Devil's team to come out and try to take

5:14 Speaker 1: care of business. This one might be rough. Make sure
