overtime win over the Los Angeles Kings today you're with Maddie and Smitty and
0:24
we are available on X Bruins Benders also me at Mr MD m m Barry in Smitty at
0:32
Bender Smitty two to one winning overtime David posano scores his third goal in three games to win it for Boston
0:40
in what was otherwise sort of a ho hum meh kind of
0:45
game yeah I thought the Bruins for large parts of the game were sleep walking through it um you know the first period
0:52
they were they looked like they were fast asleep they looked like it was a matina it looked like MAA of old every
0:58
time the Bruins played a SAT at mattin it took him forever to wake up same thing in this one uh you know fell
1:05
asleep and through the first most of the second the late in the second they seem
1:11
like they finally start to generate a little momentum and then they come out slow again at the beginning of the third
1:17
and and you've talked about it and we've talked about it I don't know what the problem is with th with this team and
1:23
starts but they don't start on time it's like they got they need to hit the coffee hit the espresso a little bit
1:29
earlier in the day boys and get ready to go I I don't understand what the problem is but it's something that's going to
1:36
need to be fixed because teams are going to jump on them they're going to get down early and they don't have the kind
1:41
of Firepower you need to be able to claw back into games every night if you're playing from
1:48
behind yeah it's been an issue uh with this team and I don't know if it's I
1:53
don't know what it is to be honest with you Montgomery has been changing up starting units you know he had he had
2:00
the third line in there for the Florida game and then he went with a martian line uh against the Canadians ends and
2:08
he just tries to kind of change it up I'll tell you what the fourth line is for the most part a menace to society
2:14
right now I mean they they are aggressive they are all pretty fast and quick and big and physical and I think
2:22
that the linemates celik and and Kea have really rubbed off on beer and
2:28
you're getting the best out of John beer these three games as we've ever seen and
2:33
if he maintains that consistency then that fourth line is going to be a Difference Maker going
2:40
forward if they stay away from injury yeah I would agree I thought the fourth line was the best Line Tonight uh you
2:46
know without question the best line and I thought of all the players Matt prro in his debut coming off of not playing
2:54
in you know however long at at uh you know an NHL regular season game I don't know what it's been for for him eight
3:00
months nine months something yeah um he was their best forward tonight I thought he was fantastic he was all around the
3:06
puck he was winning battles he was making plays you know there's there's a few instances and he's still young and
3:11
he'll learn this but there was a few times where he passed where he probably should have shot but um you know other
3:16
than that I thought for sure that he was you know easily their best forward of the game easily I mean he's the
3:23
playmaker that the Bruins have needed that I've been saying for a while that even with when ever since Cree left
3:30
when he left for that one year and then he left for good that's been a void on the team is playmaking centers and he
3:36
made that one play where I'm yelling shoot the fraking thing and he turns and he finds a trailing maoy and keer makes
3:44
it like a look what I found glov save and I think that that was a that was a
3:50
really great play like that's the vision that crey had like that's the playmaking
3:55
kind of centerman that we saw with him for years so you know that's what Patra
4:01
brings to the table now I'm going to say to you is that Patra needs to play with
4:07
Marian on that second line because Charlie Coyle looks old right now he
4:12
just his first three games he has not been good yeah he hasn't been good and I
4:18
don't think geeki has been particularly good either I mean geeki Drew uh a penalty down low late in the game um
4:25
that you know led to some pretty good chances for the Bruins but you know other than that I mean both those guys
4:31
are not really second line players though so that's what I'm saying like you know put put padra with marand and
4:40
then if you want to make coil the right wing on that line so you have someone bigger and defensively responsible fine
4:46
um you know if you want to make him the third line Center fine and you want to move Frederick around somewhere else um
4:52
you know I I guess Sweeney said you know prior to the season that the Bruins aren't a finished product right now and
4:59
and they'll they may be looking for a Winger at the deadline I don't know how they're going to be able to afford one they have like 50 bucks in cap space but
5:08
but apparently they're G they may they may need to be shopping for one or maybe uh you know that's Fabian lysel or or
5:15
merkulov or they can find someone somewhere uh that's going to be able to
5:20
fill in that spot and give them a little more you know offensive mindedness in the top
5:26
six yeah Ian then you run into the do you play po with lysel yeah yeah LEL
5:33
Maran yeah I mean that Line's probably too small so um and and I don't think
5:38
Martian would love it either with lysel he just didn't seem like he wanted to to groom someone on the other side of the
5:44
wing you know I don't know but Patra needs to play at least on the power play more yeah that frustrated the hell out
5:51
of me can we get him that frustrated the hell out of me yeah yeah and then
5:57
Charlie makoy can we get him off power play one please I mean that's just like
6:02
come on he was good tonight he was good tonight I thought I thought makoy was
6:09
good tonight and um you know there's there's times with everyone
6:14
that you know you're going to turn the puck over or things like that but I I mean I didn't think he was really the
6:19
problem on power play one I thought they the entire team was being pressured and they were just moving the P all of them
6:25
moving the puck too slowly uh and and that's a you know that's just something
6:31
that the coaches need to see from up above and and get down to the bench hey look they're pressuring as soon as you
6:37
touch it they're pressure and you got to move it quicker and the Kings did that on their first power play and they scored a goal uh and then you know when
6:44
the Bruins I thought later in the third when they started moving the puck a little bit more um they were able to
6:50
gener generate some chances so you know we'll see how that all you know kind of shakes out but um I mean until
7:00
someone takes makavo spot away from him like until lowai or Lind hampus Lind
7:07
home until one of those guys really starts to produce at the second power play unit I don't think there's any
7:13
reason to move makoy off power play one now I I'll say this that it looked like
7:18
it was 5 on5 for much of the power play like the kings were just at the points
7:23
they were they knew what was coming it just wasn't like you said Slow movement of the puck not a lot of possession uh
7:30
of the puck it with some space uh and it seemed like anytime they had some space was because the puck got deflected or
7:37
they got lucky and was able to get some some something behind the net or just in front of the net but for the most part
7:43
that thing needs to be better and as PE we're saying here like the power play is picking off where it was last season and
7:48
again I think it's largely because they have a quarterback like Cree made a huge difference remember when they put him on
7:54
the on the power play one to the end of that last season he had and he made all the difference in the world they just
8:00
need a guy with vision and and I think ptrack can be that guy with some more experience I I think he definitely could
8:06
I don't know why Justin brazzo was on the power play brao tonight was brutal he was brutal he took the he took the
8:13
cues from us uh and you especially ripping into him yeah after the last game and he and he lived up to those
8:19
expectations that you that you put on him because he was terrible tonight I mean they had a three on two Frederick
8:25
hits him in the on the tape and he bobbles It Off
8:31
they don't even get a scoring chance I mean he was just I mean a you know a guy for a guy a big guy who was supposed to
8:37
have good hands he was ston hands tonight like exploded off his stick every time he touched it he was bobbling
8:44
it he couldn't do anything right today and and maybe that's just you know a guy playing above his level but you know a
8:51
guy like that an undrafted guy like that should not be on the power play how does
8:56
Patra not end up on the power play when he's one of the best forwards all game long and you finally do it on the very
9:03
last power play of the game and they start generating chances I mean it's not a coincidence you go yeah and I think
9:09
they're doing that trying to replace that jvr in front of the net thing but he wasn't really getting there it wasn't
9:15
again he needs to get there and again know look he's a he's a borderline he's
9:20
an AHL player he's a borderline the best NHL player and after a while those guys
9:26
get exposed you know and that's just what the way it is is I'm sorry but it's just it's just the way it is so um I
9:33
think I'd like to see Patra in in coil flip uh and go you know Patra second
9:39
line and Coyle third line and just give it a go for a little bit you know I think it would help Maran some I I hope
9:47
so I really do I think so I think Marian needs another playmaker but you know
9:52
here's another thing Marian himself now all of a sudden he's playmaker only he thinks he's got to fill the V the void
9:59
of the of the playmaking guy for everyone else Mari shoot the goddamn Puck especially when you beat your check
10:05
to the front of the net and it's just you and the goalie shoot the [ __ ] Puck sorry John I mean but
10:14
for crying out loud you you you beat your check it's just you and the goalie
10:19
and you pass to zaka who's covered yeah covered yeah what are you
10:25
doing yeah I I don't know I to be honest I mean Martian has a shoot the pepper the goalie with shots that's the only
10:31
way that second Line's going to score right now it's the only way he's a he
10:37
has a great shot too and he just I don't know if it's oh my god he has a that back foed thing because of yeah because
10:42
of the you know the surgeries he's not feeling it yet I mean maybe that could
10:48
be but when you're in that tight or or he just or doesn't matter
10:54
yeah I or or he thinks Coyle's struggling a bit and he just has to pick it up I don't know just doesn't seem
10:59
comfortable on that second line which has been the worst line of the bunch the first three games yeah I would
11:05
agree I would agree but and I thought POS tonight until he SC until he scored the goal was bad he had he had uh zero
11:13
shots on goal and and one shot attempt until the final power play I think he
11:18
had a shot in the final power play um but then you know that's what goal scorers do all of a sudden you need him
11:24
um you know Patra makes a great play lowai with the with the sweet you know seam pass to poso and you know goal
11:31
scorers goal finds the back of the net and the brones uh end up with a with a victory they they may not have
11:38
deserved no and I don't think so I don't think they did I thought Trevor Moore was the best player on the ice he had
11:44
seven shots on net see seem to have a a chance every every play every shift uh
11:50
Jeremy Swan was really good tonight today was um made some real big stops
11:55
and uh was the best penalty killer they had at times too and uh you know showed why he's you know
12:02
he's definitely a number one type goalie and they get this type of goal tending and I thought the defense settled down
12:08
some a little bit today I thought they were better than they had been they were better but this the first pass is still
12:15
an issue like they like they you know especially you know parts of the M you
12:21
know the beginning of the first into the into the second like um they struggled
12:26
there uh kylo's still turning it over a little too much for my liking um you know and just just all of them weren't
12:33
real clean with it um but as the game went on they got better with it but it's still something that you know is going
12:39
to be an issue that they're going to need to work on most of the season I would say especially when they come up
12:44
against heavy four cheing teams like they will Monday afternoon they will for sure uh for sure
12:51
so they uh they get the victory two to one in overtime uh and we'll go inside
12:57
the box score a bit and when thing that kind of stood out with me uh was that there was increased time with the fourth
13:04
unit and rightfully so they all played over you know right around 12 to over 12
13:09
minutes of ice time uh which was good last game Ki played like
13:14
720 so I think they're getting rewarded for what they're doing in the hits click 4 Ki 4 beer three and they were really
13:22
swarming especially in the early going yeah I thought so uh like I said earlier
13:28
I thought the the fourth line was the best line you know all day I thought it was the best line in the last game as well so um like I said you know as long
13:37
as that unit keeps bringing it with the hitting and and you know being hired on
13:42
the four check and you know they weren't rewarded on the score sheet today but you know they did things the right way
13:47
and if you can continue to do that I think those guys you know that same Trio keeps getting um games until until you
13:57
know they one of those guys starts to uh fall off a little bit you know I'm I'm
14:02
rolling with those guys cuz I think they are momentum changers for the Bruins yeah for sure uh Elias lolm nine for 16
14:10
on the faceoff dot uh I thought lolm is getting better and better the last three games first game not really you know
14:16
kind of a second game was a little bit better and I thought today he was pretty good at times he made a really good back
14:21
checking play which is his bread and butter early on in the game I think it was first period where he he almost
14:27
saved a a really good chance from La just coming back and having defensive
14:33
coverage for a defenseman who was up ice um and then he had the goal and a great shot by Maran I think it was Maran that
14:41
low low Far Side the type of shot that would get a rebound and sure as [ __ ] a
14:46
huge rebound right onto his stick one timer bang and that was a huge goal because they were kind of dead in the
14:52
water and even though it was one- nothing it felt like three nothing yeah and that they couldn't get anything going so that was a huge ug goal to at
15:00
Le to even it up and then from there I thought the Bruins amped up their intensity level yeah they did uh it was
15:08
it did take the goal in the fouron four situation I think for the Bruins to to get going a little bit there at the end
15:13
of the second but but then again you know you you brick said it on the nesson
15:18
broadcast you know you you would have expected them to come out in the third
15:24
period with the jump in their step from that momentum that they got at the end of the second period and they weren't
15:29
they were flat again to start the third and you know then it's a back and forth
15:35
kind of you know and maybe that was the type of game it was both teams you know are going to be uh defensive minded
15:42
teams um defense first and that kind of thing and maybe it was just that kind of game where it was a little bit of a tie
15:48
checking close to the vest kind of don't make a mistake type of game but um you know the Bruins really need to um have
15:57
more of a sense of urgy throughout the game especially with their starts they do and in the in the
16:05
beginnings of games they're an issue uh it is a MAA and all that and I get that but La is is a West Coast team playing
16:12
at one o'clock they just played the other night like they were in the same kind of boat and La came out much better
16:17
than they did against Buffalo Buffalo kind of jumped them in the last game and La had a good third period of win copar
16:25
you know natural hattrick or whatever they they they win but out shot 2711 in
16:30
the first two periods against Buffalo uh so they didn't start well at all last game this game I thought they started
16:36
better on their end and of course their penalty kill created some momentum for them and it was a momentum killer for
16:44
the Bruins yeah I mean I don't know if the Bruins had any momentum when they got to
16:49
those power plays and then but if they did have even a sliver of momentum it certainly went away when the Bruins got
16:56
on the power play because uh I believe I don't if it was the first period or the first time uh uh I think it was the
17:02
first period at one point shots on goal during Bruins power plays were 51 La
17:09
yeah so that's you know something not what you're looking for not at all not what you're looking for uh hampus lolm
17:16
today 28 shifts played 2148 he had five shots on net and you know I I think
17:24
hampus is playing better to start the year here I think we're seeing a little bit more what he can do and if he plays
17:31
like this I think that and we had two block shots um you know and he played
17:38
some he had played four over four minutes of short-handed time and if he plays like this I think that that's kind
17:43
of Where The Sweet Spot is for linol and it'll be very helpful to the team um
17:49
especially with Carlo not playing great and lorai you know being scratched the other day although I thought lorai was
17:55
better overall I made that brilliant play to set up Posh to win it I mean that's a great pass sure is Ian that's a
18:02
great pass and that's the type of thing that lorai can do but I think lyol um I'm happy with the way he cautiously
18:10
happy with the way he's playing yeah I thought he was good tonight uh and and I
18:15
think there's been kind of a directive probably from the coaches to lindol and
18:20
makoy both to shoot the park I mean it's obvious and and he he you know did that
18:27
today he had a great move on second power play where he you know the pass comes across and he and he fakes the
18:33
check and and steps into the slot for for a great you know chance so um you
18:38
know he's doing things more like he did a few years ago when he had more kind of offensive zone time maybe some more
18:44
offensive zone starts last year he was much more in a defensive role I think with Carlo and they kind of relied on
18:51
him more as a shutdown defenseman which isn't really his game so that that kind
18:56
of puzzled me that they kind of put him into that um you know so I'd like to see him get
19:02
back to more of the two-way guy that we've that we saw a few years ago and it seems like he's you know moving in that
19:09
direction now with brazo not playing great and Patra back for power play
19:14
purposes do you think tufty goes in and brazzo out for the next game although I
19:20
don't love I don't love tufty in a third line and I certainly don't love them breaking up the fourth line uh I think
19:27
you could see Max Jones go back okay um Jones for brazzo Jones for brazo
19:33
and will he be a third line guy I mean I don't love that I I don't like I just
19:38
love the chemistry at the fourth line is start is starting is playing with yeah I don't know I maybe because geeki hasn't
19:45
been great uh on the second line maybe that's a spot for you know a Jones or
19:51
someone else [ __ ] Tong I mean I don't I'm just saying no one's been great there yet right so maybe you move
19:58
someone else into geeky spot and geeky drops to the third line with with Frederick um and you know whom ever I I
20:07
wouldn't mind seeing you know at this point in time Tyler Johnson getting signed and and uh you know giving him a
20:14
crack on either that second line right wing or somewhere in the third line with Frederick and somebody else and and
20:19
Jones and toughy can stay out uh I mean to me that's what I would do you know whether they can sign a guy
20:27
and get him you know ready and into the lineup by Monday I I doubt that but you
20:34
know ideally in my mind if you know you're not giving one of the young guys a chance Tyler Johnson should be in the
20:40
lineup yeah so uh as we get into the fan comments Bruins fan 71 says potsy geeky
20:47
Freddy third line lysel should get a shot on second line do you think lysel gets the shot before
20:54
Johnson no h so they sign they do some salary cap gymnastics to get Tyler
21:01
Johnson in the fraking fold before they even see what they have with lysel I think they do yeah I think they do I I I
21:09
don't I don't think they they're sold on lel's play away from the puck I think
21:14
Johnson is a veteran who does those away from the puck things much better um he has a good hockey IQ I think he can play
21:21
with good players he can play with you know not so good players so I think Johnson probably is the better option
21:28
and look lysel Providence Bruins open opened the other night and they lost 5-2
21:33
to Laval um quor Brown scored and uh Vin
21:39
scored Patrick Brown I do that every time you do yeah
21:44
it's producer Connor I I have him on the brain I guess so Conor green Connor Brown Conor black yeah I mean whatever
21:51
it is anyway uh yeah it just um I I you
21:56
know lysel didn't by all accounts didn't really have a great game in that one so
22:02
you know he's gota if he's gonna go down and play down in Providence he's got to light it up down there to to come back
22:07
he's they're not just gonna bring him up because like oh he's he's shown flashes of ability like you got to earn your
22:14
spot that's the way that's the way the the world Works uh and right ruins
22:19
certainly you know have shown that they're not just going to give it to him so some of someone needs to uh you know
22:28
if he wants that spot he's got to earn it and Tyler Johnson I think over the course of his career has probably earned
22:35
an opportunity before Fabian lysel has yeah and Patra has you know this just
22:41
shows how good Patra is defensively and how much how responsible he is that he's able to play uh because he he's been up
22:49
here he was up here for 33 games and he's now he's right back up here in his debut today and like you said probably
22:56
one of the better forwards if not the best forward on the throughout the game with the most chances like he he had the
23:02
puck he wins battles in a sneaky way yeah in a sneaky way like positioning
23:08
stick work uh get space for himself after he wins like he doesn't win the
23:14
puck and then a guy is he kind of wins the puck and then gets a little bit of space to avoid any other battle that's
23:22
ensuing so I think he's he's just he's showing some really great potential and
23:28
they'll freaking need it uh 100% sha diet I think we'll start to see
23:35
ptra on the power play moving forward if we don't then Montgomery's an idiot um I mean ptra needs to be on
23:41
there and maybe Tyler Johnson helps there too on a second unit who knows you know I maybe uh I think if Tyler Johnson
23:48
signed We're not gonna see Justin brazzo for a dog's age I'm I mean I wouldn't be sad about
23:54
that would you yeah no no and and I'm sorry that everybody would would be offended by it and saddened by his
24:01
departure uh and Jason La Jason says Johnson and brazo out here here fine by
24:08
that Jason uh hampus lolm looks great I agree says Bruins fan 71 I think he has
24:14
and Beth welcome back Beth looks like the fourth line is the production and
24:21
they were talking about that on the broadcast like this has kind of been the most consistent line they're generating
24:26
what they need to generate I mean you're not going to score each guy's not going to score 20 goals but they're G to get a
24:33
chance or two they're a menace they're physical they wear down defenses and it
24:39
showed in the ice time I mean the ice time went up four or five minutes per
24:44
guy yeah 100% 100% I mean they they've certainly earned earned their ice time
24:51
and earned earned uh you know all the looks that they get and and you know as we've said before they you know they
24:58
should stay together as long as that line keeps doing what they're doing they've they've clearly been the best line for the Bruins you know to this
25:05
point in the season what's your uh what's your analysis of zadorov and makoy as a
25:11
pairing um I thought in the Montreal game they were good I thought
25:18
tonight they weren't great and the thing I worry about on that pairing is foot
25:25
speed like can they um can they catch
25:30
guys yeah can they catch guys if you know if they if somebody puts the puck in behind and goes to get it you know
25:37
can they get back and and do that you know as far as you know offensive
25:42
ability and and chemistry I don't think they really have it yet um um zadorov
25:49
has taken some shots from the point which you know I think has been good like I said before I think that's been a
25:56
directive to the defenseman that you know when you get it start looking to shoot um don't look to throw it down the
26:03
wall uh and I think they've all taken that to heart but um yeah I mean I I
26:08
think probably that's the best place for the zadorov because I I'm not sure lowai
26:15
makoy really works with both of them really wanting to jump up in the play um
26:21
and low ride Carlo you know I guess is okay but um you know they they need to
26:28
still kind of figure out who fits where and and who's going to play you know the
26:34
best with um you know the other guy 2924 were the hits in favor of
26:40
Boston 3326 the shots in favor of the Kings and then the Bruins had 10
26:46
giveaways better than the last game had I believe with Canadians they had 17 giveaways they had yeah and against the
26:53
Panthers 11 just by the defenseman so right so there's some progress uh Beth
27:00
says might be too early to know if makoy and zadorov pairings uh will be the
27:07
thing and that's what we just you know Smitty just said about the foot speed getting back to the line um to the goal line to make you
27:13
know to get the puck possess the puck be able to break it out sidorov today had four hits that's what he does I mean he
27:19
is a big menacing human being which is good he did stick up and brick talked
27:25
about him sticking up for makoy after makoy took an awkward spill behind the net with a guy he didn't like the way it
27:33
happened after the you know I think it was uh I think it was more might have been Lewis one of those two that um he
27:41
didn't like it and sort of started getting into the face washing thing and then Sor over is right there to help uh
27:48
as well so that was um you know I I think that's what he brings to the tables zorov I think he obviously sticks
27:55
up for teammates he's intimidating and that sort of thing I just hope that as a
28:00
as a top pair I but jury's still out for me I think he's better suited as like a
28:06
third pair you know yeah it it will be interesting to see how that all shakes out um and you know where it eventually
28:14
ends up with zadorov um Beth also says that the Bruins were better at the Daw
28:19
today which which they were and you know it was an issue last year uh definitely
28:24
and Elias lindol has certainly helped that he was he was good on the dot today he's been good on the dot throughout his
28:31
career you know Johnny beer um you know playing some Wing now but cck's been good on the dot uh so they have some
28:39
guys now in the center position that are that are a little better at faceoffs and that leads to Puck possession which the
28:44
Bruins really struggled with last year so um you know better on the dot means you know you should get more possession
28:51
you know especially in offensive zone draws that which leads to scoring chances whether it's you know on the
28:56
power play or just you know in the regular run of play five on five um you know it'll certainly help them in the
29:03
long run to uh you know make things a little bit better for them and and hopefully you know generate some more
29:09
scoring chances Rob Spectre with the uh with the question of the day is this the team better suited for 2014 than 2024
29:17
feels like the modern game is more speed and skill than size and toughness and we've said this like it is it just about
29:24
heavy or is it or is it about you know just being tough and enough not backing down not being intimidated you still
29:30
need speed you still need obviously talent and skill and timely scoring and
29:37
good special teams and all that good goal tending but is this too much of an emphasis on just getting his bigger than
29:44
everybody else and is that a detriment when it comes down to it at the end of the day can you not is there going to be
29:51
a quick team out there that beat you and then you say next offseason oh Jesus now
29:56
we got to get faster yeah time will tell time will tell if they went in the right direction on that um I think this team
30:03
would be much better suited for 2014 than today's game yes because you could hook and hold and do all that crap too
30:09
so uh you could kind of negate a speed Advantage by another team by just you know putting your stick in their
30:15
midsection and riding them around the Ice uh so you know we'll see if uh you
30:22
know what the Bruins did in the off season with getting bigger and being the biggest team in the league if that will uh will help them hurt them I meany
30:29
having a guy like brazzo out there who who can't skate at all certainly drags down the overall Team Speed so if you
30:36
insert a guy like Tyler Johnson or Max Jones you know right there you're faster uh and you know I think somebody said uh
30:44
oh Bruins fan 71 we really need two Wingers and I think he's right I think yeah I think so too I think they could
30:49
use two Wingers uh so you know whether that's Tyler Johnson and someone else um
30:55
or uh or you know whoever um but they you know they don't have a lot of cap space to make that happen so
31:02
maybe it's Tyler Johnson and and one of these rookies if uh if they're having a pretty good season in Providence you
31:08
know they'll get called up after a month or two and get a chance but um you know we'll see how that all uh ends up
31:14
shaking out but I I would say right now the jury's still out on whether or not um you know the size and and and
31:22
toughness thing is going to be working for the Bruins and a big hello to Mar Lee who jumps in gives us the uh the two
31:29
finger salute uh a couple of times nice to nice to hear from from Mir um how do we get
31:38
two Wingers with 400,000 well that's an excellent question Rob got good ones there you there you go
31:46
I mean what's the what's the minimum contract in the league 870 825 7902 or
31:52
something somewhere in there 775 something I don't know something like that you're GNA have to drop a guy in half and and only use half his
31:59
body spot yeah I don't I don't know it's going to be very interesting to see if they like geeky right now is not proving
32:05
to me that I'm moving on with this guy after this year right right now so you
32:11
know do you move him at the deadline even if it's for a salary dump like even if it's for a fourth round pick like
32:19
just to evade yourself from the two million bucks you might need to do something like that just to get two
32:25
million bucks well yeah I mean they have this plethora of fourth line guys here
32:31
now with thees and the [ __ ] and the Joneses of the world um you know K's
32:37
been great um but these other guys you know you got them you gave them uh
32:42
toughy you didn't but Jones you gave over a million dollars didn't you or Jones gave you I think was it a mill I
32:49
think it might have been a million a castol is like 830 something but yeah so uh yeah you know you you have some guys
32:56
maybe who would be you know we're going to be in the Press Box that um you know will cost you a
33:02
little bit more money so you know maybe you move on from some of those guys a wave some of those guys and bury them
33:08
and you bring up you know a guy like countar or a guy like Riley Durant who's you know a little bit cheaper but if you
33:15
get a few a little bit cheaper guys you might have enough to get one guy for a veteran minimum deal that you know might
33:22
be available at the deadline that you can you could bring in here and and hopefully can can help you so um they're
33:28
going to have to do some you know some cap maneuvering some cap gymnastics to uh you know to make this work and and
33:35
find some more offensive Talent if it's not a guy like Tyler Johnson yeah and I agree Bruins fan 71 Frederick Cole geeki
33:44
is my line third line yeah that there it is like there it is that's the line that
33:50
I would have in a perfect world on this Bruins team but right now Coyle and geeky have to play out of position
33:56
because they're so in yeah so if you could do that and you played ptra with
34:03
Marian who's your right wing uh Glen Murray I don't I don't know
34:09
I mean I I don't know honestly I'd give Fabian lysell a crack for like six or eight games is it live it Maran ptra LEL
34:18
is that what you're doing I I I might try doing that I might try doing that yeah I I might just to because I don't
34:26
you don't really have anybody else yeah to me it's to me it's you sign Tyler Johnson and you put him there okay
34:33
um even though you're 70 years old between Johnson and I mean yeah but he's
34:38
more responsible defensively than lysel is if f is there if Coy's there I do not because then you're 100 years old right
34:45
yeah no if it's if you're if you're Marian ptra and then the Winger you're trying to fit in with those guys I think
34:51
I go with Johnson you go you go small you go hockey IQ and and um you know see
34:57
if you can develop a little something there it's going to be interesting Beth as she says that the signing of swayan
35:03
left the Bruins with no wiggle room in the cap and it's true it's gonna be interesting because they're going to need Don sweee just told you that it's
35:11
not a it's not a complete work of art here so they're going to need something at the deadline and they have no money
35:17
like so not only do they have no money you're going to need three or four million in space to get a decent player
35:24
like it's not even like you you need to just cut one guy or yeah I mean or do a
35:29
little bit of something it's it's like you need a decent amount of money yeah
35:34
at the deadline they'll be able you know it's pro-rated or whatever so they'll be able to you know afford maybe a a a
35:41
couple million dollar guy uh even then they'll still have to make some man some you know some moves some do some
35:48
maneuvering so or they get a guy that another team is willing to take some of the money for yeah a dump yeah yeah yeah
35:55
and that might be the Avenue I don't know it could be could be so um you know um like we said not not not in love with
36:03
uh the scoring at this point in time um I think Sweeney knows everybody knows that the Bruins might need a little help
36:10
there but they still uh you know get a win today and a game they you know probably didn't deserve to win but you
36:16
know a win is a win is a win and um you know kings are a good team so um you
36:23
know getting a wing in the afternoon when you don't play that great you that's a pretty good sign
36:29
take it we'll take it uh okay three Brewing Stars today uh I'll go
36:37
um I'll go uh poso three because he scored the overtime winner I'll go Swan
36:43
two and I'll go ptra one yeah I was right in there in there
36:48
too because I thought Swan and I thought Swan was one of the big reasons why you won and I loved what potra did which was
36:56
all positive in my opinion yep all night all day long and then of course pasta
37:01
gets the Big Goal so I think I think you're right on I think that's that's kind of kind of where it is next game is
37:07
Monday afternoon at 1 Panther's a little banged up Sasha bakov awkward Landing in
37:13
the boards he's out for that game and then Matthew kachuck is ill today he'll miss the game today not sure what you'll
37:20
get for him on Monday so this is a kind of a banged up weaker version of the
37:25
Panthers coming in Monday and you need to show something more than you did against
37:31
the Panthers in the first game yeah like I said um if you're if you if you wanted
37:38
the fight in the first game and you didn't get it like just turn to turn Monday afternoon into a blood into a
37:44
blood bath just turn it into a blood bath just start beating guys up whether they want to fight you or not whether
37:49
they want to drop the gloves or not whether they asked you or you asked them or you did a Dosey Do Or Break danc
37:56
whatever it is like just start beating guys up just grab somebody by the collar and start beating them up and if you
38:02
lose the game you lose the game but if if message sending is what they wanted to do in the opener and they weren't
38:10
allowed to do it now is your chance um send the message send the message you want to send if if you need to get it
38:16
out of your system uh or whatever the case may be but they need a better showing overall whether it's um fighting
38:24
and scrapping or whether it's on the scoreboard the the Bruins need to show up in the game Monday afternoon to um
38:31
you know I think restore a little faith in them against the Panthers and then
38:36
maybe for their own confidence against that team uh so um you know they there
38:42
needs to be some kind of uh retribution from the Bruins in order to uh kind of
38:47
move past this I think and and David illey says a good message of scoring
38:52
more goals than the other team in true Derek Sanderson fashion the Bruins pulled that off today a two to1 win a
39:01
two to1 win in overtime Monday afternoon we'll be on postgame live again after
