Have the Boston Bruins Given Up? | Bruins Playoffs News - Bonus Episode

0:00 Speaker 1: Welcome in everyone to an emergency Bruins tape to tape

0:04 Speaker 1: podcast episode. I'm your host this afternoon, Caroline with a K,

0:10 Speaker 1: and let's cut to the chase, because this Boston Bruins

0:14 Speaker 1: team is an absolute disgrace, and so what better way

0:18 Speaker 1: to welcome back my fantastic co host Maria. Hey, Maria,

0:23 Speaker 1: how you feel I.

0:24 Speaker 2: Came back from Italy for this shit today? Sunday, April

0:29 Speaker 2: twenty six has to be one of the worst and

0:34 Speaker 2: most disgusting and embarrassing playoff losses in recent Boston Bruins history.

0:41 Speaker 2: Never mind the fact that since twenty nineteen you have

0:47 Speaker 2: virtually sucked eggs at home during the playoffs, and here

0:52 Speaker 2: we find ourselves with a relatively new core because we've

0:58 Speaker 2: flushed out the core from all of those previous playoff heartbreaks,

1:02 Speaker 2: and we find ourselves in a similar situation. You show

1:07 Speaker 2: up for an afternoon playoff game, or any playoff game,

1:12 Speaker 2: and start in the manner in which you did in

1:15 Speaker 2: the first period, looking unprepared, lost, lack of focus, disengagement,

1:23 Speaker 2: and disinterest in playing. It is deplorable, absolutely deplorable. And

1:30 Speaker 2: the fact that Jeremy Swayman ultimately ended up, pulling himself

1:37 Speaker 2: and skates over to his bench and gives the business

1:42 Speaker 2: to his teammates on the bench deservedly. So everybody who

1:47 Speaker 2: listens to this podcast knows that I'm not a Swayman fangirl,

1:51 Speaker 2: but in this instance, he has every right to rip

1:55 Speaker 2: the heads off of every single player, including his coach,

2:01 Speaker 2: who stands there with his goddamn hands in his pocket.

2:06 Speaker 1: What are you waiting for?

2:08 Speaker 2: To me, there was no good reason to have Jeremy

2:12 Speaker 2: Swayman come back out and start the second period of

2:15 Speaker 2: that game when you're already down for it to nothing.

2:17 Speaker 1: I gotta tell you, Maria, Look, I'm not proud to

2:20 Speaker 1: admit this, but I feel like this was an exception.

2:23 Speaker 1: You know, I don't quit on this team. You know

2:25 Speaker 1: I don't quit on this pod. I sit and I watch,

2:28 Speaker 1: and I sit through as close to eighty two of

2:32 Speaker 1: those games as I possibly can. You know, I take

2:35 Speaker 1: one for the team and I watch them, no matter

2:39 Speaker 1: what gorgeous day it was not supposed to be a

2:41 Speaker 1: gorgeous day outside sit down to watch this, which is

2:46 Speaker 1: what the games.

2:46 Speaker 2: Will be doing very soon if they don't get their

2:50 Speaker 2: heads out.

2:50 Speaker 1: Of their asses. I didn't even make it through the

2:54 Speaker 1: first period, they scored. Buffalo scored four goals. They had

2:58 Speaker 1: eight shots on goals, but Boston had one shot on goal.

3:02 Speaker 1: And I said to everyone in the discord online, if

3:05 Speaker 1: the Boston Bruins are going to try to waste my

3:11 Speaker 1: time and disrespect the seventeen thousand fans in TD Garden,

3:19 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm not going to allow that. And I

3:23 Speaker 1: left the back and then say, in Boston, right, kids

3:28 Speaker 1: in the building an afternoon game.

3:31 Speaker 2: The building was allowed to start the game. The fans

3:36 Speaker 2: were ready to go. The fans were ready to go.

3:40 Speaker 2: The problem was the team immediately was not ready to go.

3:44 Speaker 3: I knew immediately as soon as the very first crashing

3:52 Speaker 3: to the net by Buffalo on Jeremy Swayman, where the

3:55 Speaker 3: net got knocked off its moorings and there were.

3:59 Speaker 1: Bodies all all over the place. In that moment, I knew,

4:04 Speaker 1: oh boy, that's the kind of game we're going to have.

4:07 Speaker 1: And I have to say, and I mentioned this a

4:09 Speaker 1: little bit on the pod last week. We've talked before

4:16 Speaker 1: in the past about Okay, you can see the youth

4:19 Speaker 1: in an experience when you have teams that are new

4:23 Speaker 1: to the playoffs, right, but and we saw a little

4:27 Speaker 1: bit of that from the Buffalo Sabers when they got

4:29 Speaker 1: started in the beginning of the series. They were excited

4:32 Speaker 1: because they've never been pretty much in a very long time,

4:36 Speaker 1: and Boston was the team that was measured and controlled

4:39 Speaker 1: and experienced, and they played that way for the first

4:41 Speaker 1: two games. However, of all of the people on the

4:45 Speaker 1: Bruins' staff that showed me their incredible lack of experience,

4:53 Speaker 1: Marco's term was the biggest offender. And I thought to

4:58 Speaker 1: myself in Game one, Okay, I will allow it. That's

5:02 Speaker 1: his first time as an NHL head coach. He's been

5:05 Speaker 1: a player, but he's never been a head coach. In

5:08 Speaker 1: a playoff game. Game one, mistakes can be made. I

5:14 Speaker 1: will allow it. I will allow it. How else are

5:16 Speaker 1: you supposed to learn? Right in game two when Jeremy

5:21 Speaker 1: Swayman had to be the one all a time out

5:27 Speaker 1: after the game before, when Marco Sturm was explicitly asked

5:33 Speaker 1: by the media, hey, should you have called a time

5:37 Speaker 1: out when you started to lose control of the game,

5:40 Speaker 1: and his answer being man, I didn't even think of it. Okay,

5:46 Speaker 1: maybe you were just saying that because you didn't want

5:51 Speaker 1: to publicly admit that you made a mistake. Okay, I

5:53 Speaker 1: can understand that, I get it, I get it. But

5:57 Speaker 1: then it showed me. He showed me in game two,

6:03 Speaker 1: the fact that he did not call the time out,

6:06 Speaker 1: that Jeremy Swayman had to call the time out made

6:09 Speaker 1: me think his comments about not even thinking about doing

6:14 Speaker 1: it were actually real, that he literally did not even

6:18 Speaker 1: think for a second to call a timeout. And I

6:21 Speaker 1: gotta tell you because again I didn't see this, and

6:24 Speaker 1: now I feel like I gotta go watch part of

6:26 Speaker 1: this shit show atrocity of a hockey game. The fact

6:30 Speaker 1: that Jeremy Swayman was the one who had to go

6:33 Speaker 1: to the bench and lasen to everyone, what is the

6:37 Speaker 1: job of a coach?

6:39 Speaker 2: He's at the bench, There's clear video of him looking

6:43 Speaker 2: over at the bench, like, are you going to take

6:45 Speaker 2: me out of this fucking game? Excuse my language, Are

6:49 Speaker 2: you going to take me out of this god damn game?

6:52 Speaker 1: Like? What are we waiting for here now? Marco?

6:57 Speaker 2: Right, there's plenty of blame pie to go around, and

7:00 Speaker 2: the Bucks apps with the coach. You are absolutely correct,

7:04 Speaker 2: and I'm not taking anything away from the Buffalo Sabers

7:08 Speaker 2: because they whatever they figured out, they have figured out.

7:14 Speaker 2: And this team is in no way, shape or form

7:18 Speaker 2: intimidated by the Boston Bruins. The Bruins have had nothing

7:23 Speaker 2: but trouble trying to figure out how to maintain and

7:30 Speaker 2: keep up with the Buffalo speed and their relentless or check.

7:35 Speaker 2: Stop me if you've heard this before, but this has

7:38 Speaker 2: been a proverbial problem throughout the season for the Bruins.

7:44 Speaker 2: And you also have Lindy Ruth, who is insperienced NHL coach.

7:52 Speaker 2: I knew this series was not going to be a

7:55 Speaker 2: cakewalk for the Boston Bruins. What I didn't see coming

7:59 Speaker 2: is this team laying down like dogs in the first period.

8:05 Speaker 2: Now they showed some life in the second period, missed

8:09 Speaker 2: an openet, hit two posts, same old song and dance,

8:14 Speaker 2: same old song and dance.

8:15 Speaker 1: With this team.

8:16 Speaker 2: Can't finish and listen, You don't burn the take for this.

8:20 Speaker 2: You make those guys sit and watch this until they

8:23 Speaker 2: freaking throw up. As fower as I'm concerned, because we

8:26 Speaker 2: as fans and the people that were in that building

8:28 Speaker 2: that paid god only knows how much money to sit

8:31 Speaker 2: there and watch this game. You're gonna sit there and

8:34 Speaker 2: watch this shit too, and you're gonna swallow this shit

8:37 Speaker 2: sandwich that you put out there today.

8:40 Speaker 1: Yeah. And I would also like to point out the

8:43 Speaker 1: fact that we are recording this right now and that

8:45 Speaker 1: game is not even actually over.

8:46 Speaker 2: No, it's not even actually over. And I'm not sure

8:49 Speaker 2: what's going on here, but Nikita's a door of I

8:52 Speaker 2: think like might have taken some liberties here and they're

8:56 Speaker 2: trying to figure out what the penalties are. But he's

8:59 Speaker 2: got a five in a power by oh Buffalo, So

9:02 Speaker 2: it's likely because of Nikita Zadora kind of throwing a

9:05 Speaker 2: sucker punch at someone.

9:06 Speaker 1: So there we have it. I can barely even articulate

9:12 Speaker 1: the degree of frustration because it's not like the solution

9:20 Speaker 1: was complex or complicated, or that one team is inherently

9:26 Speaker 1: more talented than the other. We post it on Friday

9:30 Speaker 1: as a wrap around post on our substack. These are

9:34 Speaker 1: the keys to the game, right. You got to continue

9:36 Speaker 1: to win the faceoff great. Guess what as of right now,

9:40 Speaker 1: Boston has an almost sixty five percent face off win Excellent,

9:43 Speaker 1: that's what we love to see. Penalty minutes, they have

9:46 Speaker 1: fewer than Buffalo. Great hits forty to twenty two in

9:50 Speaker 1: favor of the Bruins. Awesome block shots eleven to fifteen. Great, Okay,

9:56 Speaker 1: the giveaway is relatively matched, I mean not awesome, Ruins.

10:01 Speaker 2: The hero has been decent because okay, buffalowaway, it's just

10:05 Speaker 2: as atrocious as ours is.

10:07 Speaker 1: Takeaways exactly the same, pretty much four and three? Like,

10:11 Speaker 1: So what is happening? What is not being translated that?

10:17 Speaker 1: Then the offense is just not doing anything at the like,

10:24 Speaker 1: because the biggest indicator that the offense is just not

10:29 Speaker 1: showing up is the fact that it took three periods

10:33 Speaker 1: once again to get to twenty shots on goal to

10:36 Speaker 1: Buffalo's thirty four. That is unacceptable. The fact that I

10:42 Speaker 1: turned this game back on, like at the start of

10:47 Speaker 1: the third and there was still only eight shots on

10:50 Speaker 1: goal eight eight eight shots on goal the Boston Bruins

10:55 Speaker 1: eight shots on goal? What is that? Garbage? What is that? What?

11:04 Speaker 1: What I don't understand? I don't understand. It's not a

11:09 Speaker 1: talent issue. What's happening? Did they just stop playing? Is?

11:16 Speaker 1: Have they lost the mental game already? I Why would

11:22 Speaker 1: I want to watch the garbage? No one wants to

11:25 Speaker 1: watch the scarbage. The scarbage.

11:27 Speaker 2: What is very troubling to me is the fact that

11:35 Speaker 2: you got off to such a poor start at home.

11:42 Speaker 2: They were not ready to play, they were not engaged.

11:46 Speaker 2: You were at home. It is the e and Stanley

11:51 Speaker 2: Cup playoffs. You are down two games to one, and

11:57 Speaker 2: you're on home ice, and you stand around and look

12:02 Speaker 2: at each other like, no, you take it in. No,

12:05 Speaker 2: you take it in. No, I don't want it. You

12:07 Speaker 2: take it, and you leave your goalie out there hanging

12:13 Speaker 2: by his thumbs. If I'm Jeremy Swayman.

12:20 Speaker 1: I'm livid. I am giving the entire team the tongue

12:30 Speaker 1: lashing of a lifetime because to abandon your goaltender in

12:38 Speaker 1: the way that they have. And it's not just this game,

12:41 Speaker 1: and it's not just this particular situation. It's you're abandoning

12:47 Speaker 1: your goaltender when you don't backcheck like your life depends

12:51 Speaker 1: on it, because you are just what deciding that well,

12:55 Speaker 1: he's probably got it, no.

12:58 Speaker 2: You.

13:01 Speaker 1: One of the things that I love culturally about this

13:06 Speaker 1: game that I think no other sport has is the

13:12 Speaker 1: relationship of a team and their goaltender and your job.

13:18 Speaker 1: And I can attest to this that the messaging from

13:24 Speaker 1: age eight and up in youth hockey is you do

13:30 Speaker 1: whatever you can to protect your goaltender. And that doesn't

13:35 Speaker 1: just mean clearing the crease or showing up, you know,

13:40 Speaker 1: and pushing some bodies around if people are getting too

13:43 Speaker 1: close up in your goalies business. It means also not

13:49 Speaker 1: leaving your goalie high and dry. It means backchecking like

13:53 Speaker 1: you've got a pants your pants are full of bees. Okay,

13:58 Speaker 1: it's putting in the effort to show your goaltender. I

14:03 Speaker 1: respect you, and I don't want you to have to

14:06 Speaker 1: do this alone. And I have told my kid this.

14:12 Speaker 1: When games get out of hand like this and your

14:16 Speaker 1: goalie is getting peppered with a million shots, and in

14:20 Speaker 1: spite of all of those shots, you know, it may

14:22 Speaker 1: seem like a ton of goals have been scored, which

14:24 Speaker 1: they have. That only happens when the five players in

14:31 Speaker 1: front of you completely fail. That is a result of

14:35 Speaker 1: five players in front failing your goaltender and abandoning them

14:40 Speaker 1: because they didn't do their job. And it's not just

14:42 Speaker 1: the defense, it is the forwards as well, because they

14:45 Speaker 1: all have to backcheck to get back there when the

14:49 Speaker 1: other team has the puck. Everyone is a defenseman in

14:53 Speaker 1: that moment. I don't know how much more clear the

14:59 Speaker 1: job could could be.

15:01 Speaker 2: The game is now mercifully over. Sean Corelly scored with

15:05 Speaker 2: a little under forty seconds left in the game to

15:08 Speaker 2: make it six to one. The series is not over yet.

15:15 Speaker 2: Being down three to one is not ideal. But I

15:21 Speaker 2: don't even know how you regrouped from this. I don't

15:24 Speaker 2: even care to hear what any of them have to

15:27 Speaker 2: say post game. I'm not gonna listen.

15:31 Speaker 1: I don't care.

15:32 Speaker 2: You all sucked today, starting with the coach and all

15:37 Speaker 2: the way down through the roster. And this has nothing

15:42 Speaker 2: to do with Marco Stern making a couple of lineup changes.

15:47 Speaker 2: Those lineup changes were inconsequential. James Hagens was looking like

15:53 Speaker 2: a deer in the headlights in Game three. He needed

15:57 Speaker 2: to take a seat, Okay, he needed to take a seat.

16:01 Speaker 2: And Henry Yoki Hirru is who he is, He is

16:05 Speaker 2: who he is, Okay. Making those changes in the lineup

16:09 Speaker 2: had nothing to do with the fact that your leaders

16:14 Speaker 2: and your core have basically been no shows for these games.

16:21 Speaker 2: Like they need they need to show up, and they

16:26 Speaker 2: need to do more. Pasta has got to stop. Frick

16:30 Speaker 2: I don't know if he's injured or if something is tweaked.

16:34 Speaker 1: But he looks like a shell of himself. Yep, I

16:38 Speaker 1: think I'm not going to disagree, but I'm gonna say

16:41 Speaker 1: I think that the coaching staff had a greater involvement

16:49 Speaker 1: in the collapse of this team. Granted, you're one hundred

16:52 Speaker 1: percent right. Where is the offense? Where are the top guys?

16:56 Speaker 1: Where's Morgan Geek, Where's David Pasternak?

16:59 Speaker 2: Where's the second I mean, I don't even know what

17:01 Speaker 2: the stats are for today's game, but the first three games,

17:06 Speaker 2: these guys are like all in the minus Pabo Zach

17:09 Speaker 2: a minus foot past a minus three. Ardvidsen's a minus three.

17:13 Speaker 2: Although I let's go in the game, I'll get Yeah,

17:18 Speaker 2: you know, Casey middle stat is a minus three. God

17:21 Speaker 2: only knows what Charlie McAvoy's stats are today, because I

17:24 Speaker 2: swear he was on in the ice for a good

17:26 Speaker 2: number of the gold sequences that Buffalo scored. And again

17:31 Speaker 2: it sounds like we're not given credit to Buffalo. No,

17:34 Speaker 2: Buffalo is playing very very well and the right right

17:43 Speaker 2: the momentum turn for them when they made the change

17:47 Speaker 2: in goal and then that penalty shot.

17:52 Speaker 1: That Arvidson missed, missed. But I think also it comes

17:57 Speaker 1: down to game management. This is where I'm hyper fixating

18:03 Speaker 1: on Sturm, and I hope, look I like him. I

18:07 Speaker 1: don't want to see him go anywhere. Like, let's be clear,

18:09 Speaker 1: this is not me saying, Okay, this is gonna be

18:12 Speaker 1: his head on a play. Absolutely not, Absolutely not has

18:16 Speaker 1: made thoughtful and impactful tweaks, both in game and pregame

18:24 Speaker 1: or postgame, every single matchup. The fact that going into

18:34 Speaker 1: game three there were zero changes alarm bells immediately for me.

18:42 Speaker 1: Zero changes. Really, you think that game two was that good? Really?

18:50 Speaker 1: When they were stopping their play with X number of minutes,

18:57 Speaker 1: you thought that the kid was doing a great job. Really,

19:03 Speaker 1: And then I also said he needs to make changes,

19:09 Speaker 1: but not changes for change sake. And I think that

19:15 Speaker 1: sitting Loria and Hagens was making a change for change

19:20 Speaker 1: sake because it did nothing. What other changes did you make?

19:25 Speaker 1: You didn't make any changes in game, You didn't pull

19:28 Speaker 1: Jerry Jeremy Swayman after the first period, Like the fact

19:33 Speaker 1: that Corpusollo did not come out and start the second

19:36 Speaker 1: it's mind blowing. I just you have nothing to lose

19:45 Speaker 1: right now, you have nothing to lose.

19:48 Speaker 2: There are some that might say, well, you know this

19:51 Speaker 2: was you know, four games in a row for swiming. No, no, no, no,

19:53 Speaker 2: this has nothing to do with that. Swayman was not

19:56 Speaker 2: the problem today. Swayman did not look fatigued. Swayman did

19:59 Speaker 2: not look like he wasn't ready to play. It was

20:03 Speaker 2: everyone else in front of him. The turnovers, the bad decisions,

20:10 Speaker 2: the inability to establish your own for checking down in

20:14 Speaker 2: Buffalo's and so that you have any sense of sustained

20:20 Speaker 2: offensive pressure. Now we saw a little bit of push

20:24 Speaker 2: in the second period, but at that point it's too little,

20:28 Speaker 2: too late. You're already down four to nothing. Yeah, yep,

20:34 Speaker 2: and now no Victor Arvidson, who knows what the injury

20:40 Speaker 2: to him is, so that could potentially be an impactful

20:44 Speaker 2: loss for this team. Yeah, it's I I'm just I

20:51 Speaker 2: am disgusted, absolutely disgusted by the display of so called

21:02 Speaker 2: hockey that was presented to us by the Boston Bruins today.

21:06 Speaker 1: Yeah. I think game three you could have chalked it

21:10 Speaker 1: up to not respecting the opponent, because we've seen this

21:15 Speaker 1: team pull that crap before. Today. I can't explain. I

21:20 Speaker 1: can't explain that there is no explanation. I'm not tired

21:25 Speaker 1: that had an extra day off. Then everybody else they

21:27 Speaker 1: were not tired. Okay, they were bad. They were bad,

21:33 Speaker 1: atrociously bad. I mean, listen to this quote from Marco Star.

21:38 Speaker 1: This is from Ty Anderson. This is.

21:41 Speaker 2: Starmouse to explain the letdown quote. I can't if you're

21:45 Speaker 2: a Boston Bruin and playing at home in a playoff game,

21:48 Speaker 2: you should be very excited, very disappointed.

21:51 Speaker 1: End quote. Isn't it your.

21:52 Speaker 2: Job to ensure that they're fucking ready to go, that

21:55 Speaker 2: they understand the enormity of what's at stake here.

22:00 Speaker 1: Like guys are ready to hit the links just can't understand.

22:04 Speaker 1: We didn't. There was never an expectation that we would

22:07 Speaker 1: be here. But two things could be true at once.

22:11 Speaker 1: You can be glad because nobody for the most part,

22:15 Speaker 1: was expecting them to be in this position back in

22:18 Speaker 1: the playoffs. But you can also be disgusted with the

22:20 Speaker 1: product that they have presented and be disappointed and disgusted

22:26 Speaker 1: and ashamed at what you've seen at this point. I

22:31 Speaker 1: And again, you know, I am the optimistic one. I'm

22:35 Speaker 1: the one who's like, well, this is a bright side.

22:37 Speaker 1: I don't want to watch. I don't want to see anymore.

22:40 Speaker 1: I've seen enough. Let's we're done. I've seen enough two

22:44 Speaker 1: games in a row. I'm gonna say the words out loud,

22:46 Speaker 1: and I don't want to say I'm enough enough end it.

22:49 Speaker 1: Try not to be too embarrassing if you can. In

22:53 Speaker 1: Buffalo enough just all I said, I had said at

22:56 Speaker 1: one point, and I discord in the first period, the

22:58 Speaker 1: next guy commits a turnover and our own end needs

23:02 Speaker 1: to have his ass staple to the bench.

23:05 Speaker 2: Huh, okay, staple is sorry, ass to the bench, and

23:10 Speaker 2: there if it's Pasta or Charlie mckaboy or Hampus lnt Home, who,

23:15 Speaker 2: by the way, has sucked balls in this series, absolutely

23:19 Speaker 2: sucked balls in this series.

23:22 Speaker 1: But that's my point about the in game mismanagement to

23:28 Speaker 1: this game. Like I said, you have nothing to lose,

23:31 Speaker 1: so use this game to make a point with your players,

23:36 Speaker 1: hold them accountable, staple their butts to the bench, and

23:39 Speaker 1: say you don't get to play now for a little

23:42 Speaker 1: bit because you can't do that. You can't do that.

23:48 Speaker 1: But then again, he didn't pull Jeremy Swayman. No for

23:52 Speaker 1: and when when your fourth line, when your fourth line

23:57 Speaker 1: has consistently been your best line in a playoff series,

24:03 Speaker 1: that's a little bit of a problem. Give them credit

24:07 Speaker 1: for walking their asses off, but they're not the guys.

24:12 Speaker 1: They're not the guys.

24:14 Speaker 2: That are going to be taking you or should be

24:16 Speaker 2: taking you to the promised land in terms of keeping

24:19 Speaker 2: you in a game, putting the puck in the net.

24:22 Speaker 2: You know, they're not part of typically not pasive, your

24:26 Speaker 2: power to play units or your penalty kill units, Like

24:31 Speaker 2: today was an epic fucking disaster. M Can you recover

24:41 Speaker 2: from this? I don't know. I honestly don't know, because

24:48 Speaker 2: I don't know how fragile the leadership core in that

24:55 Speaker 2: group is at this point. You've got a goalie who's

25:00 Speaker 2: pissed off, who's part of your new core. Okay, you've

25:05 Speaker 2: got Charlie McAvoy who seems to be like you got

25:12 Speaker 2: a good hit today. You got pasta who looks around

25:16 Speaker 2: like a lost soul out there and can't seemingly keep

25:19 Speaker 2: the puck on the end of the stick for any

25:21 Speaker 2: significant period of time, and a Hampi slint home well

25:26 Speaker 2: looks like a shell of himself right now. And isn't

25:28 Speaker 2: capable of making a decent decision when he needs to

25:32 Speaker 2: when he has the pup. So I'm at a loss.

25:38 Speaker 2: I'm at a loss.

25:39 Speaker 1: The series heads back to Buffalo. When is that? What's today? Sunday? Monday, Tuesday, Tuesday,

25:47 Speaker 1: So could all be over by then. But until then,

25:52 Speaker 1: make sure you like and subscribe if you want to

25:54 Speaker 1: hear more from us, give us a rating and review

25:57 Speaker 1: so that other Boston Bruins fans can find us. You

26:02 Speaker 1: to tape MK and then on our substack at tape

26:06 Speaker 1: to tapemk dot substack dot com. We'll have a regular

26:09 Speaker 1: episode this week, but I don't know what we're going

26:13 Speaker 1: to talk about. Maybe we'll learn some new things. But

26:16 Speaker 1: until then, any final thoughts, Maria, I.

26:20 Speaker 2: Can't even say, go bees. I don't even know what

26:24 Speaker 2: to say to these players and fans. They live to

26:29 Speaker 2: fight another day. I think is about as positive a

26:33 Speaker 2: spin as I can give you on this. And here's

26:37 Speaker 2: the other positive. When during the regular season this team

26:43 Speaker 2: has been subjected to embarrassing and gut wrenching losses as

26:49 Speaker 2: they did today, they do seem to have the ability

26:54 Speaker 2: to bounce back.

26:55 Speaker 1: We'll see on Tuesday. All I'm asking for is that

27:00 Speaker 1: they give a crap, But until then, go bees.
