0:00
so we'll head over to chir 2 Matt Patra
0:02
being back with the Boston Bruins and
0:05
you just alluded to Elias lolm and his
0:08
usage they said that poy will play on
0:11
the second line with Coyle and
0:14
Marian until they are potentially late
0:17
in a game with a lead and then Elias
0:20
lolm will go back to that line to
0:30
it goes back to the accountability thing
0:34
the veterans not held to the same
0:37
standards as the rookies the rookies are
0:38
held to a different standard Patra can't
0:41
be out there in late game situations
0:42
because God forbid he makes a mistake
0:44
and they give up a goal where Martian's
0:47
done it and was benched po pono's done
0:49
it Lind Holmes done it Coy's done it
0:51
Frederick's done it lowai done it
0:54
they've all done it but for some reason
0:57
the young forwards are held to a
0:59
different standard than everyone else
1:01
and it doesn't make any sense at all
1:02
it's part of the reason they won't give
1:04
marov a sniff or lysel a
1:07
chance I I don't understand it and we'll
1:10
get into it later because their Player
1:12
Development sucks it sucks ass it's
1:15
awful and I if I was a young player I
1:18
would think twice before I signed with
1:20
the Bruins as a as a free agent as a you
1:25
know Street free agent if you're a
1:30
Merkel off you're like get [ __ ] yeah
1:34
sorry John I would yeah I'm telling the
1:36
Bruins to piss off I'm not coming here
1:38
if I'm a young player because they won't
1:39
give you an opportunity unless you're a
1:41
defenseman then Sween is all you know
1:44
fully engorged ready to ready to [ __ ]
1:47
let the young defenseman you know do
1:51
whatever they want lowai is out there
1:52
turning the puck over every other game
1:54
for [ __ ] sake and and it's perfectly
1:56
fine but you know if you're a forward
1:59
you can't do that forwards can't get
2:01
away with it they have like a bias
2:03
against young forwards um so I don't
2:07
know what the answer is there but it it
2:10
doesn't make any sense for the
2:11
development long term how is he ever
2:13
going to be any good in late game
2:14
situations unless you give him some late
2:16
game situations is ptra you know when
2:19
he's five or six years into his career
2:21
every time the Bruins get a lead late in
2:23
the third gonna get benched even if he's
2:25
a second line Center putting up 60
2:27
points he's gonna get benched because ah
2:30
can't do it can't do it in late game
2:32
situations we got to put Elias lindol
2:33
out there because we paid him [ __ ] 8
2:35
million a year to do nothing other than
2:38
win faceoffs and be defensively
2:41
responsible that's a [ __ ] joke sorry
2:43
John Sween needs the answer for that
2:46
that's shitty that's a shitty contract
2:49
and a shitty way to develop young guys
2:52
now you know what never mind I'm Gonna
2:55
Save that one for one of the later
2:57
chirps okay um what are your thoughts on
3:01
pess overall since he's been back up has
3:04
he given you anything to be mad about
3:07
anything to be happy about or just kind
3:08
of milk toast uh he's been up and down I
3:12
mean when he first came back up the very
3:16
first play he made in the first period
3:18
maybe even his first shift was a
3:21
two-on-one where he makes a great and I
3:23
think it was a backhand pass like waits
3:26
for the defenseman to go down holds it
3:28
long enough threads the needle with a
3:30
perfect pass to Frederick and Frederick
3:32
scores great play um showed some Poise
3:35
with a puck which you don't see a lot
3:37
from guys on this team never mind young
3:40
guys on this team you don't see it from
3:41
many guys at all on this team um you
3:44
know Brandon kyo's doing that he's
3:46
throwing it into the defenseman's body
3:48
Charlie Coy's probably holding it Taking
3:50
It Around the Net and totally not
3:52
getting a scoring chance so you know the
3:55
fact that he made the play is good um
3:59
along the I think he's still a little
4:01
bit green like he's still a little
4:07
soft I don't know if he's even timid
4:10
because he'll go in there but he just
4:12
gets ragged all around like he's he's
4:14
just not strong enough he needs to put
4:15
on some some muscle to be able to battle
4:18
in the walls because he'll go in there
4:21
and he's smart enough to use positioning
4:23
sometimes if he if he's not getting
4:25
thrown around to kind of position
4:27
himself between the the def fence in the
4:30
puck and and come out of there with it
4:33
like but he still gets thrown arounder
4:35
was the same way early in his career now
4:38
it's kind of different yeah so you know
4:42
I I still don't love his play along the
4:44
wall I I and I talked about this a few
4:47
times on the post game this whole or
4:49
maybe it was just you guys in the text
4:51
but this whole like when he's done with
4:54
his shift his body language coming back
4:56
to the bench [ __ ] blows it's terrible
4:59
like oh head back I've tried my hardest
5:02
and I'm skating as hard as I can to the
5:04
bench because I'm just completely
5:06
exhausted it's like dude just skate hard
5:09
to the bench enough with the slump
5:11
shoulders and [ __ ] like I know
5:13
you're tired everybody in the NHL at the
5:15
end of a shift is tired just get to the
5:18
funk [ __ ] bench and stop with the you
5:21
know with the Antics about it like yeah
5:24
everybody can see but it makes it look
5:26
like you're out of condition that's what
5:29
it shows that's what it demonstrates it
5:32
makes it appear like you have a
5:34
conditioning problem not that you're
5:36
exhausted from trying so hard it makes
5:38
it look like you don't work hard enough
5:40
in the off season so cut that [ __ ] out
5:43
and and just do it the right way that
5:46
one that one thing bug totally bugs me
5:48
about him um but the rest of his game I
5:52
like like I I think he can be an asset
5:56
just one small part just well it it is a
5:59
small part because it's like once the
6:01
shift is over and you're just skating to
6:03
the bench like figure that out like you
6:06
you can you don't have to do the like
6:10
the I'm going to the bench and I'm so
6:12
tired like just go to the
6:16
so getting back to the good parts though
6:19
he has a playmaking ability that they
6:21
need on the team clearly and I think he
6:26
can be his upside I think is a second
6:28
line Center he can be I think he could
6:31
be a 60o guy I don't think he'll ever
6:33
score a lot of goals I think he might be
6:35
like a 20 20 goal you know 40 assists
6:38
guy and if you're talking highest that
6:42
high that he can go maybe he gets to
6:43
like 20 and 60 and he's an 80 Point guy
6:47
but that's the ceiling of all ceilings
6:51
that's as high as he is gonna get um
6:55
that Don Sweeney middle six
6:57
player I mean I know and I hope he makes
7:00
it there I hope he is that guy I hope
7:03
he's an 80-point guy on the second line
7:06
that's you know David Cree like you know
7:09
that he's can make the plays and he can
7:11
score a little bit um and I think you
7:15
know clearly they need that but they
7:17
have to also be able to give him the
7:19
responsibility let him do it let him be
7:22
out there let him make M make mistakes
7:25
let him play in late game situations let
7:27
him play on the power play hell let let
7:29
him [ __ ] penalty kill I don't give a
7:31
[ __ ] but like put him out there and let
7:35
him grow into the role is what I'm
7:38
saying couldn't have said a better
