Benders the Bruins take a four to nothing defeat in Nashville
0:26
Tennessee to the winless up until tonight Nashville
0:32
Predators um and we are here for post game it's the Bruin's second loss in a
0:38
row they have been outscored six to one in the last two games of this three-game
0:43
trip and right now searching for some ansers and uh this one was a not so
0:49
great first period second period and third period got a little bit better and it wasn't that they didn't have some
0:56
chances here and there but defensively gave up also shots taking too many
1:04
penalties another six minor penalties uh they've taken 40 minor penalties on the
1:13
season uh tops in the league and the undisciplined play has
1:20
continued uh even after they were called out by their coach which is not a great
1:25
sign and makes you feel that maybe the message isn't uh
1:31
absorbing I don't know what the problem is I mean it's been a history under
1:37
Montgomery with the starts slow slow um they don't have any answers right now
1:42
none they put poso lindol Maran together Dash two- two- three I
1:51
believe uh yeah lindol was minus three Maran and Pak both minus two I mean they
1:56
combined for 11 shots uh so that part is good I suppose um but
2:04
you know minus minus uh whatever minus 7 combined not what you're looking for
2:09
really no um zadorov is on Pace to tie the Bruins record for minel prener
2:16
lead's taken in a season with Kenny lindman the rat yes yeah so uh you know
2:21
zadorov is covering himself in gloryia that's a $6 million well spent $5 million well spent for uh you know a
2:30
minor penalty every game and uh you know it's just they just don't have any answers they look slow
2:37
they don't generate watching other teams play and then watching the Bruins play is very very frustrating right now
2:43
because it seems like other teams can pass the puck to each other and and make
2:48
good creative plays little give and goes our guys like to just hold on to it hold
2:54
on to it hold on to it and then chip it down the boards or off the glass Hope plays like blind passes into the middle
3:00
of the Zone just they don't know how to play offense with each other I think and maybe it's just that they don't have
3:06
enough guys who know how to actually play offense I mean that might be what the problem is is they don't have enough
3:12
[ __ ] Talent sorry John not enough Talent not enough guys who are creative with the puck that have talent that's
3:19
the issue I I think I I agree again it comes back to what I've been saying for since
3:26
David Cree left they don't have any playmaking centers they don't no so
3:31
that's part of it like they have Elias slol and pav zaka and Charlie Coy they're all the same type of player
3:38
two-e player but they're not exactly Playmakers great passers guys who can
3:44
really make creative plays like you just talked about they don't they don't have that uh so when you have like a Pono who
3:51
could really use that type of guy when he flourished with a with a David Cree
3:56
you know and and he just doesn't have it Brad marshan has even left than that right now and he looks so old
4:04
and so out of sorts and I know he didn't start working out until August whatever and maybe that's it maybe he's just
4:11
still trying to get his legs under him and trying to get a feel and a rhythm but he just doesn't look like the old
4:18
Brad Martian buzzing around winning battles they still don't win a ton of
4:24
battles you know especially the top couple of lines they still don't they
4:29
they take forever every time the puck goes to the half wall or the or the sideboards like they never seem to win
4:36
those races to the puck at all so I think there's a speed problem I think
4:42
that they went a little bit too heavy on the size I think they have too many bottom six guys and they're trying to
4:49
wedge a couple into the top six it's not working again the coil line was just God
4:57
awful again Charlie was guard awful again I mean he had a couple of
5:03
giveaways he had no shots on that I don't believe and then he had he was like two for three for nine or whatever
5:09
on the faceof dot like he's just I I I just you know now I don't know what they
5:16
could have done because you know the free agent market and I'm not sure what exactly was there for them and they did
5:22
get lyol which I think is a is a is a pretty good signing overall I I I need to give him a little bit more time with
5:28
that and so dorov is over overpaid you know he's committed another minor
5:33
penalty today seven in seven games um you know because that's what he does
5:38
though he's a heavily penalized player um but I think they went a little bit
5:44
too far with the with the heaviness and the big and the size and they just have a mismash of people that just don't like
5:51
you say don't don't gel together don't mesh together and they're and there're a couple of forward short and that's just
5:58
the bottom line that's it and I know it's only seven games but that's what it is I mean they're a couple of forward short I mean we watched T I'm watching
6:06
Taylor Hall scores 700th point and Taylor Hall wasn't terrific but he was good at times for Boston but he was but
6:14
he had gamechanging speed you know and then you also had Jake D Brusco who had
6:19
you know at least he was he he had some speed and he and he could stretch you know offenses he can now he was very
6:26
frustrating and inconsistent but you didn't replace those types of guys on
6:31
the wings so your wings right now are really really
6:37
weak they are I I mean the whole team is weak I mean we we talked about it before
6:44
um during our next full episode we're going to go through the top nines for
6:50
all the teams in the league and find out where the Bruins Stack Up and um little
6:56
little hint it's not very high no not not the highest it's not very high um so
7:02
they just they just don't have talent they they they let Talent go they thought they could add to the back end
7:09
get heavier on the back end to beat a team like Florida and um that's that's
7:15
not really what they needed it wasn't you know we've talked about this before that's Florida plays a heavy game
7:23
but they're not Fighters they're not you know that's not they agitate you they get under your skin so you have to be
7:30
above that you have to be the initiator or you have to be above the the scrums
7:35
and all the [ __ ] that they bring to the game and just play and and they also have talented players yes yes of course
7:44
course for God's sakes um yeah of course they do but I think what the point was
7:50
is that they're going in the wrong direction you tried to add you know another Bruiser on the back end where
7:56
you needed to add scoring depth right in depth went out the window with the
8:02
losses of you know Hall and de Brusque and you know guys like bzi Peron like
8:09
all exactly I mean they lost a ton of top six you know top nine forwards and
8:15
didn't really replace them they replaced them with dime dozen guys that they picked up off the scrap Heap and were
8:21
like oh maybe we can squeeze some [ __ ] blood from this Stone uh you know Morgan geeky you know who was a
8:28
fourth line guy Seattle so you know they're they're trying to find Diamonds in the Rough with you
8:37
know paying very little money you have to have talent you have to pay for talent that's what it comes down to you
8:43
do you have to pay guys if if there's guys that can produce and score you have to pay them that's what it comes down to
8:50
you can't you know get guys like Danton Heinen off the scrap Heap and sign him
8:56
to a you know a entrylevel deal or veteran minimum deal and and expect
9:02
everybody's going to chip in 15 goals that it doesn't work like that you know
9:07
they that's not how you build a team you don't just get a gun bunch of guys on
9:13
pto's and be like ah we're set now we got all the guys you know that's not how
9:19
it works you have to pay for [ __ ] top end Talent you do no you do you have to you have to have you have to have top
9:25
end talent that they just aren't as talented as they used to be uh and we were pretty spoiled with how good they
9:33
were and now um you know they again they they just don't have you know top end
9:39
centerman and they don't have they're at least a Winger short and that's kind of
9:46
rear in its ugly head right now I mean it's just not a lot there you know Trent Frederick who had a good season last
9:52
year but that was just you know that was just one good season like it's not like Trent Frederick is a 25 goal scorer
9:59
every single year you know this this is you know there somewhere in between is what Frederick is it's not what it is
10:06
now and it's not what it was last year somewhere in between right is who he is and then geeky like you said like geeky
10:13
is you know a guy with with some potential and some size and last year he was he was okay he was pretty he was
10:20
decent uh but again you know now you know he he hasn't done a hell of a lot Max Jones commits you know two more
10:27
penalties tonight you know four four penalties in the three games he's played
10:32
um you know and not not really adding a hell of a lot to what's going on here
10:38
and it's just you know right now and I'm trying not to overreact to it because it is seven games in but I'll tell you what
10:45
and I've said this before that Jim Montgomery is getting a little nervous and he showed it tonight by yanking the
10:53
goalie with six and a half minutes left and he's showed it in other ways by talking to the media about his team and
11:00
and you know yelling at Brad marand and you know a lot of the things he's been doing are a desperate coach and a
11:07
nervous coach anxious coach and I'm telling you Paul Maurice got an
11:12
extension today I know they won the cup or whatever but you know the Bruins have no intention right now of giving
11:18
Montgomery an extension and if they liked him and if they wanted to roll on with him in the future he would have an
11:25
extension by now well I wonder if part of the problem with this is because he's
11:30
a lame duck he is yeah I mean he is so like did the to the players say well why
11:38
should I listen to this guy he might not be the coach next year yeah so it's like
11:44
right now the Bruins either need to extend the guy and say he's our guy right or they need to get rid of him
11:50
right because it going on with the guy in the last year of his contract and is just like you're going to play out the
11:57
string and he's just going to walk and that's going to be it and you're just gon let team fall the [ __ ] in the metime
12:02
like that you can't do that you have to believe that they don't that they you need manager to General manage make up
12:10
your [ __ ] mind Don Sweeny make up your mind is he your guy or is he not if
12:16
he's not your guy get rid of him now and light a spark on the [ __ ] team sorry
12:21
John like figure it out is he your guy or is he not your guy right shouldn't
12:26
you know he's your guy right now in two and a half season should you know by now like if you don't know by now then then
12:33
I don't know what to tell you like it to me it's it's kind of silly to have him unsigned not extended in in playing this
12:41
kind of game in this lame duck scenario with him it's silly like you should know
12:46
by now in two plus Seasons whether he's your guy or not you should know you you
12:52
should what what would what would what what would change other than they don't do that well and you let them go so
12:59
basically you're you're saying that you're not that confident in him that's what you're saying I mean if you were
13:06
confident in him you'd sign him well right and so that trickles down to the players that's what I'm saying if the
13:11
Management's not confident why should the players be this guy doesn't know what he's talking about our management
13:17
doesn't want him around they didn't give him an extension so why should we listen to the
13:22
guy he doesn't know what he's talking about the management doesn't doesn't think he knows what he's talking about because he they're not going to sign him
13:29
to an extension he's just sitting there with his [ __ ] dick in his hand and and everybody's like watching him jerk
13:35
off like just you know it's it's a lose lose lose scenario yeah I I think that I
13:43
think that you would just think like after what happened with Marian yelling him at on the bench and some of the
13:49
things that Monty said in the in the media you would just think you'd get I don't know would just be a better Vibe
13:56
you know more of a Vibe on the team if they were a more response I would think than that seems
14:03
like at the end yeah I would have thought they would have gotten a response tonight after he kind of yelled
14:09
at marand and you know called the team out and said you know we're we're not
14:15
Tough Enough on pucks and you know all that we didn't skate hard enough you
14:20
know you would think that they would push back in the past Bruins teams when
14:26
called out uh or even after a have pushed back you know not so much
14:33
not so much I mean they ring into a desperate I mean it was a bad situation right going you know to
14:40
Nashville uh winless Team you know you I you had a feeling if Nashville eventually you know is gonna win a game
14:47
obviously they're they have good players yeah they do so you know I was expecting going into this one that that they would
14:54
probably lose that it wasn't going to be an easy game yeah sure um did I think
15:00
no I didn't I thought I thought they would give A Better Effort especially early on like 20 seconds in poso taking
15:07
a lazy you know another lazy penalty like what are you doing like that's a
15:12
total hook an interference Hook from a mile away that's not allowed like what
15:19
are you doing I haven't seen him skate hard no I haven't either except for
15:25
maybe a couple of flashes in the third period yeah gliding around the ice
15:30
gliding like he's oetkin like waiting for the puck to come to him right and then he's gonna score like that is that
15:37
is that what it's come down to now and he plays 20 some odd minutes a game well I mean maybe that's part of the problem
15:44
is he's trying to save himself because he's out there all the damn time yeah played 168 so today Monty must have been
15:53
like you know what they shorted the whole goddamn time yeah they took short right he doesn't short-handed minutes so
16:00
you're right no so there you go yeah I you know I I see it too like I see a lot
16:05
of sort of gliding you know not really playing until he gets the puck kind of thing then he took that ill-advised shot
16:11
I know this Net's empty and the game's probably over but he takes that ill-advised shot where it's not going to
16:17
go anywhere he flubs it gets blocked come back down put it in the empty net
16:23
like for God's sakes like I I just I don't know it it to me it just seems
16:28
seems like the team and I know it's early in the year but it just seems like there's a little bit of a dead in the
16:34
water kind of feel to it like it just seems that way and I don't know why that
16:40
is um but maybe maybe some of the things that he said Monty said you know in the
16:47
in the media and and the reaction to marand and maybe that's just sort of
16:53
cast the PA over the team right now I possibility I mean I you know they
16:59
clearly don't have answers I don't really have any answers either I mean I don't either I mean what what would you
17:05
do I mean what would you do and I know I know the Lys cell thing and everything but he's not I mean he's not GNA change
17:11
what's happening right now and you're gonna put him on a bottom six scenario and screw him when you bring him up like
17:18
you're not GNA put him on the second line or first line so you're not going to put him a good players you're gonna
17:24
put him with Riley tufty and Max Jones or whatever the hell and he's not gonna produce and you're gonna say well you
17:30
know then he's gonna play eight minutes and you're just going to put him in a scenario where he's not going to succeed
17:37
well it's the same thing they do they did to PARTA tonight his Wingers were Max Max Jones
17:42
and now yeah I mean I I I don't know I mean and part of it is who I mean they
17:51
don't have enough guys they don't have enough good guys for them to play with is what it comes down to at this point
17:57
in time if I was Mont I would say you know what I'm going to play ptra with with ponak and zaka I'm going to play
18:04
Marian with linol and somebody on the first two lines and I'm just going to go with it because you know what what else
18:12
I mean I'm going to put coil down with geeky and Fredrick on the third line where Coy should be because he's done
18:17
hasn't done dick so I would put him there and that's what I would have like
18:23
that's what I would do right now like what how much worse would it be
18:29
dick how much worse would it be how much worse would it be it wouldn't be worse
18:35
what they need to do what they need to do is what you said essentially uh what' you say
18:43
zaka Patra and poson and then lyol and Martian in a second line like Tyler
18:50
Johnson fine put him there whatever and then Frederick Kiki Goyle and then Cole
18:56
Frederick geeki and then you put your fourth line in there and that's what I would do for a few games and see because
19:03
at this point if you're going to have poter play up here you know because he probably honestly and honestly in my
19:10
opinion I think ptrack could have used some time in Providence I really do like there are some times like he does okay
19:17
but there's some times where I think he could have used some seasoning down in Providence and he probably still could
19:23
but this team is so fraking short-handed in the forward group that he has to play
19:29
like they has to be up here because they don't have better on in the organization
19:35
I mean I think I think it has to be either lysel or Tyler Johnson on the on the second line right way and you give
19:41
one of those guys a chance and and see what happens it has to if you if you lose you know I think they're worried
19:48
about waivers which you know I who would you want who were you worried about losing right now well I'm not that's
19:54
what I was going to say Hon a rat's ass
20:00
or Max Jones or Justin brazo nobody taking those people nobody's taking them
20:07
waved I yeah I mean I think they all the waivers all the waiver claims that go
20:12
through in the past couple of years very few people get claimed and those guys
20:18
are certainly not going to get claimed I would agree with you they're not I mean that's just asinine like that we're
20:25
we're going to handcuff our team so that Justin Brad isn't taken by someone I
20:31
mean come on what are we doing I mean I don't know I don't know braz everybody
20:36
had an opportunity to get Justin brazzo everybody yeah like nobody wants him I
20:43
mean come on I mean Jesus we value our players grow up yeah I honestly I think
20:51
that's I mean I think that's part of what they're worried about I do I think
20:56
I H 100% is it 100% is because nobody overvalues his players like Don Sweeney
21:07
swe so you sign him and then you wave him almost immediately you show that you
21:12
yeah you show that up he will never admit yes right he's the smartest guy in
21:17
the room y yeah went to smartest guy in the room went to Harvard you know what you mean I know he's the least I know
21:24
he's the least of our concerns which is why we they should just put him through weight
21:29
like Jesus I mean this is not this is not hard like put Tyler Johnson in there who's a proven veteran he's better than
21:36
what you have he's not gonna cost a lot of money just send somebody through waivers they'll go down to Providence
21:43
because No One's Gonna claim him and then put Tyler Johnson in there for a while because he can actually play
21:48
hockey in the NHL on a second line like he can do it he's won cups he scored
21:55
goals 17 last year like he can do it for God's sakes I mean you know I just
22:02
this this dick around thing is just crazy to me like I just sometimes I just
22:07
I just don't understand what the general philosophy is like it was Puck movers
22:13
and and in two-way players and all this stuff and all of a sudden it was let's
22:18
go out and get gigantic you know because of the Flor of the Panthers even though
22:24
you've had a heaviness problem for a while I think Ney finally said you know know what I you know we got to stop
22:31
getting pushed around so he he convinced Sweeney that this is what we need to do and Whatever Whenever Neely puts his
22:38
fingerprint on it great player loved him to death yeah but whenever he puts his thumb on the team it's bad news it's
22:46
Nick Richie and it's it's Brett Richie and it's all these frakin guy every
22:51
Richie you can Matt boleski he whenever he puts his
22:57
thumb print on it it's bad news yep so there there you have it like right now
23:04
this this team doesn't have a lot I mean where's the scoring going to come from I
23:10
mean I I I don't know I mean I don't know they play Dallas who's a fraking
23:16
good Hockey Club on Thursday and then they play Toronto who scores like six goals a game tonight they get blown out
23:23
but for the most part that's a super talented team that's probably going to win the division so the next two games
23:29
here I you better find it or you're going to lose these next two and be three five and one Dallas doesn't give
23:36
up goals either no they don't they have a really good goaler they just extended and they have a super they have really
23:43
good team defense they have fast forwards they have young guys who can move they have big guys who can move
23:49
rupe hints they're a really good team they're gonna probably come in here
23:54
whacky around on Thursday sure sure first game I think they just Lo didn't they just lose to Buffalo tonight yeah I
24:02
think so yeah they gonna come in and win yeah and they're G and then Toronto is ready to ready to chew your face off y
24:09
so they'll they'll so you could lose the next two and be three five and one then what what if they lose the next two
24:17
games I don't know if it's a wh if I think it's a probably right so they lose
24:23
the next two games now what like no what's see how long does it take before
24:28
or they just move on from Montgomery I mean they could
24:35
lose they could lose three of the next four because they I mean they have the Flyers the Flyers are going to be
24:41
working hard after the after the Leafs and then they have the hurricanes on the road oh boy yeah who are always a
24:48
terrible matchup for the Bruins yes so you know you could be looking at you
24:53
know four and six four and what is it four and eight six and one four six whatever
25:00
yeah yeah I me and then what I mean at at what point I mean here's what I
25:06
here's what I want to know from Don Sweeney what are you looking for as far as your coach I mean we we talked about
25:13
this all off season not necessarily what you're looking for from your coach but what do you what is your philosophy as a
25:20
team right and hard to play against that's that's so vague it's crazy yeah
25:25
that doesn't count philosophy as a team right I wanna I want to know what your
25:31
philosophy is as a team hard to play against is such a vague phrase po out it
25:37
doesn't everybody wants to be hard to play it's nature of the league yes
25:42
everybody wants to be that right define what define what that means to you what
25:48
does that look like right because I don't think they know I think C thinks it's big bruising guys who hit and is
25:56
are tough I think Don Sweeney probably has a different definition he thinks it's transition hockey and and that's
26:03
not hard to play against they can't transition the puck right now because they don't they don't they don't have
26:08
enough speed on the wings and they don't have talented enough players on the wings to transition the puck properly
26:13
it's like it's just painful to watch them transition the puck right now it's
26:20
painful like it's tape because they have too many guys now who are you
26:26
know I don't know who who who who on the
26:32
team who on the team really does anything other than panak and maybe
26:37
Martian although he looks like he's old so besides those guys like who does
26:45
something like real special offensively like who who's a play yeah I mean I mean
26:53
when Patra looks pretty good that says something when he stands out like that
26:58
because even he is inexperienced but he'll do some things that stand out you're like oh there's a hockey player
27:04
like there's a guy with IQ and vision and playmaking ability but he's he's 20
27:11
and he's inexperienced but it stands out because the rest of them don't do it the rest
27:18
there there's you see flashes from guys here or there it's nothing inconsistent
27:24
this is like the old you know mid 80s teams where you had nearly and and you
27:30
know you know jany and then you had a bunch of muckers and grinders yeah and
27:35
it this is this reminds me of those teams so much yeah and that doesn't win
27:41
now no it just doesn't win doesn't win it doesn't win this is a talented
27:46
talented players didn't win then either right but it reminds me of that back then like it's just so you know look I
27:55
don't I don't know I I don't I think you're a you're a really good Hockey Club if you have a number one Center and
28:01
then you have lyol and coil and stuff like you need you need like two Topline
28:08
guys to play with panak you don't have that like you don't have two really
28:14
special players to make a really good Top Line with David posar you don't have
28:20
it so and I don't know where you're going to get it because you're not going to get it in the draft you're not going
28:25
to get it in free agency I mean you not going to get in trade unless you trade
28:30
maoy or someone you know you know so I don't I don't know how you're going to get it and we've talked about this the
28:37
writing is on the wall for this team to continue to go backwards because they don't have you
28:45
know high-end elite players coming down the pipeline and when Martian goes and Coy goes and who are those guys replaced
28:52
with and how do you replace them it's going to be very difficult because you don't have graphics you don't have and
28:59
you don't have talent you don't have prospects and you don't you can't trade
29:04
to get them and they don't they don't end up in free agency ready for you to
29:10
snipe them so I don't know how you do it I don't so I I don't know I'm I'm I'm just
29:17
at a loss like I'm thinking about what I was watching the Rangers game earlier and there was a play where um you know
29:25
they they have the puck on the half wall it goes cross ice to Fox as he's closing in he he no look past the disadvantage
29:34
ad coming you know parallel with him and he one times it in for a goal it's like
29:39
the the Bruins would never in a million years complete that passing Play No never not anymore so it it just it's
29:49
kind of disheartening what like I said watching other teams around the league and then watching this Bruins team play
29:55
the way they you know the puck explod loads off their sticks and they're like kicking it around and like throwing it
30:01
to people's Gates and like and they're really talented young players in the league like that's what's desing to me
30:08
like there's some teams out there with some even teams that aren't that great that have really talented young players
30:14
who will make plays and things and you just think to yourself where are the Bruins really talented young players other than lorai and Patra is coming
30:21
along but not as talented as these guys that I see on these other teams Adam
30:28
and I mean Columbus is you know probably going to be toward the bottom of the league and they've got a couple of guys
30:35
that are just really good young play yeah Fant Tilly was like the second pick in the draft though yeah that's what I'm
30:41
saying yeah the Bruins don't have that no have that but that's I mean but
30:47
Columbus has been bad a long time and the Bruins have been in the playoffs so it's like you know where do you want to be in order to like you said you know
30:54
the writing's on the wall it's coming like if you this is slow death is what I said last week they wantan to they want
31:01
they don't want to go down that far they don't think Bruins fans can handle it
31:07
they they want they don't they lose jobs people lose jobs when they go down that far with Bruins yes absolutely that's
31:13
that's why yeah I mean that's part of it and that's why it is well and the Jacobs
31:18
want their playoff Gates so they want them to reload instead of rebuild yeah
31:23
um but yeah I mean it that's what it's going to come down to though for in
31:29
order for the Bruins to get back to having you know a Topline Center they're
31:34
going to have to get it in the draft and they're gonna have to suck before they can get it in the draft then you hope
31:39
that when the when the when they suck it's a year with a generational
31:45
kid right that's the other thing you have to hope Sydney Crosby's in the draft that year and you get him right
31:52
you know or Conor McDavid or Nathan McKinnon or what whoever Conor Bard yeah somebody Conor bard you
31:58
know like whatever it is you have to hope that kids in the draft and it's not
32:03
you know the year of slavkovsky year or Shan right yeah you know so yeah um yep
32:13
yeah yeah I mean it's it is it's disheartening and I know it's early and
32:19
hopefully we'll look back at this in you know a couple months and be like oh you know everybody's scoring the goals all
32:25
of them and maybe they turn it around and it's like Johnson's in there now he's he's got you know 10 already and
32:32
you know everybody's scoring Pak has 20 goals everybody's doing great you know
32:37
Kumbaya Mon's back there you know laughing it up with his scall cap on or something having a good time but uh I
32:46
don't know I don't know I I'm not sure it's gonna go in that direction I think it's might go in the other
32:52
direction all right let's look in the box score eight 18 more giveaways uh
32:57
tonight for the Boston BRS uh as we said parar played 1618 because they were
33:04
short-handed quite a bit tonight um and only uh Pak only played 20 shifts in the
33:12
game 26 shifts for Elias lenol because he is a penalty killer as well as a
33:18
power play guy uh six block shots for Brandon
33:23
Carlo um who also was on the ice for a couple of the goals there uh tonight I
33:30
had a couple shots three giveaways did play 1754 of ice time hampus lolm the
33:38
the the uh most minutes of the defenseman with 2236 27 shifts makoy played the least
33:46
amount of shifts he played 23 with Andrew peak
33:52
tonight uh let's see minute penalty too so yeah that's right that's real he yeah
33:59
so that that play like I thought and I and I agree with you you texted me and said you thought Mao was playing okay up
34:05
till a point I thought he was but that play was like a microcosm of many things that are wrong
34:13
like yeah he's trying to get he's with Stam Coast at at the boards he should
34:18
win that battle well he thought it was icing they all thought it was icing at first but he coasted back and was
34:24
looking around like play the puck until it's whistled you can't yeah and
34:31
then just try to look around and Cox and icing out of the guy like sometimes they
34:37
don't call it you gotta play Then he tries to make two soft like passes along the back of the net or whatever he tries
34:43
to just kind of soft with it it it gets it it doesn't go anywhere a couple of
34:48
times and then all of a sudden the Puck's going toward the front of the net and he tries to just you know careless
34:55
stick clip Stam Coast the face four minutes and sure as [ __ ] at the end of
35:01
that power play right after it expires or as it expires whatever it goes in the
35:07
net yeah like for for I mean for crying out loud like it's just that
35:13
carelessness like this there's undisciplined in penalties but that's
35:18
not the only indicator of undisciplined it's it's bad plays it's lack of focus
35:23
it's stupid passes it's undisciplined has a wide range of things it's under an
35:29
umbrella of things so and that's what this team does the whole time and here's
35:34
what I can't stand I'm so done with the let's come up the wing and stop just
35:40
after we get into the zone and turn back and try to make a play that's been
35:46
heavily scouted if if anybody has noticed that every time that guy gets buried or they shut that pass back off
35:56
and they try to make these blind passes toward the center and in most of the time it's a turnover and then transition
36:03
back the other way but they all do it they come down into the zone and about the half wall they turn back like
36:10
they're going back toward the blue line again stop doing that stop it it's not
36:15
working and I don't think it's worked one time so it's been heavily scouted and it seems to be the only thing they
36:21
do when they skate the puck into the Zone I would agree
36:28
they they don't they don't ever try to Chip and Chase they don't cross Corner dump and go get it um you know that guy
36:36
doesn't just send it around the boards to a guy coming in on the other side like they have no kind
36:43
of attack there to get a Zone entry it's just like we're going to go in we're
36:48
gonna hold it up on the half wall and wait for reinforcements to come and try to make a play and it like you said it's
36:55
heavily scouted and they heavily scouted they turn it over probably you know eight out of 10 times they turn it over
37:01
there and I thought they were I thought this team was going to be a let's get it below the goal line and be heavy and
37:09
wear defenses down I thought that's what they were doing they don't seem to do it a hell of a lot so well they had guys
37:16
already on the team that didn't do it right so I don't know why you thought they
37:23
would change their style or why someone thought that they would change their style that's why that's why I don't
37:30
think the roster changes match up to Montgomery's philosophy they don't they like they
37:36
change the whole philosophy of the team yes with a coach that doesn't coach that way correct which me leads me to believe
37:43
that they're not continuing on with this coach anyway so why didn't you just fire his ass at the end of the year they
37:49
should have like why didn't they I mean if you don't you it's a halfhearted attempt to stay with this
37:56
coach when they know they're not going to continue with him because he doesn't match up with them yeah I mean they
38:02
probably were worried about the pr of it because they worry about everything over there I I don't look you know what I
38:09
mean but that's what it was it was you know the best regular season in the history of the world yeah and then which
38:16
he said he didn't have to coach much right okay and then they get ousted and then he blew the series okay blew the
38:23
series and then they come back the next year have a decent year but win a playoff round if that goal so if they didn't win
38:32
the playoff round I think he was out yeah but because they did they're like well we can't fire him BL best regular
38:38
season in history and then he won a playoff round the next year so he went further than he did the year before so you can't fire him then well you can if
38:46
he's not doing the job that you think he should be doing you can fire him sure go
38:51
ahead I wonder I wonder if he I wonder if he I just wonder if there's a disconnect
38:59
there between like we're going to build the roster this way and the coach is how do I coach this there's a
39:06
disconnect between all of them yeah there is between upper management and
39:13
Montgomery I think there's a disconnect between Montgomery and the players you know I I think there's a disconnect all
39:21
everyone's disconnected it's look the whole thing looks disjointed on the ice I mean you can see it clear as day does
39:27
I I don't know nobody knows I mean what's our what's our style of play what are we what are we doing are we heavy
39:34
and hard and big or we are we you know a finesse team when POS knock's out there
39:39
are we a creative team do we cycle like what do we do no they basically got a
39:46
fourth line that can play that way for 10 minutes like that's what they got the
39:51
rest of them don't play that way and not many people changed in that pup you know
39:57
linol is not going to play that way he's a berson type a real poor man like
40:02
really poor Patrice berson type so that's that's that's what they did they
40:09
got just what I've been saying a million times over one guy or two guys doesn't
40:14
change your whole culture and philosophy especially when they're playing 10 minutes a game like it just that doesn't
40:22
one guy Nikita zadorov is playing is your third pair that that doesn't change
40:28
Pat maroon you know that g Garnet Hathaway I mean he came here and
40:34
couldn't even play the way he could play because they don't play that way so unless you change the whole team and the
40:41
whole outfit it's just it's just stupid it's stupid it's I I don't I just it
40:48
just it just pisses me off like it
40:53
just just stop going you know halfway with things yeah like we're g to
41:00
do H everything halfway because we're so afraid you know we're so afraid of
41:05
missing the Playoffs that's what it's all about they're afraid of missing the Playoffs well I'll tell you what you're
41:11
gonna miss the playoffs if this continues you're going to miss the playoffs you know and and Brad Marian
41:17
looks really rough right now and that's really scary to me and I wonder if it
41:23
continues like if he would really think about retiring I really wonder that
41:30
because he's had five freaking surgeries in like the last two years like yeah I I
41:35
I was for God's sakes I was thinking that actually during the game I was I was too that if if you know if if his
41:44
season if the season goes like this and and he just can't ever really get it
41:50
going the way that he would like to you know will he say you know I've you know
41:56
I've had enough I've he might he might I mean he might he he might just get
42:01
frustr I think he's already frustrated sure he I think he understands like his body can't do what it used to do and I
42:08
think it Bo I'm sure it bothers him I mean that guy guy played a 100 miles an
42:14
hour 100% of the time like he played no one played harder than him like on every
42:19
single Puck every single shift like he darted around like he was but I swear to
42:25
God if you looked at a at a video of him from five years ago you'd see a much different player than you see right now
42:30
do you think the weight of the captaincy is hurting him with how he
42:37
plays does he need to be more a lick yourf face uh I've always thought that
42:44
I've always thought that guys like every time that he would be like punished or
42:50
redirected when he did something like that he always saw a dip in his play we always did over the years like we always
42:56
did and I think that he kind of figured out how to tow the line some but I think
43:04
that he we don't see any in the first seven games there I haven't seen a a chirp a face wash nothing I haven't seen
43:12
anything from that's what I mean that's not his game that's not his game so is he just
43:18
is he still trying to is he still trying to get into the swing of things from all the surgeries and whatnot are we
43:25
chalking it up to that or are we saying that he's trying to play a different way
43:30
because he's the captain he needs to set an example and all that [ __ ] sorry John um but you know is that taking him
43:38
away from what really makes him successful I think it I think it's more I think it's more than not doing
43:45
anything physically until August is a big part of it right but I
43:51
do think I do think there's some of that like I do think he feels a bit of a
43:57
weight because it was berson it was look they've had four captains in like a hundred years yeah like so I I it is a
44:04
big deal probably a bigger deal than other teams to be the captain of the Bruins especially when berson was a
44:11
captain for so long and Char was a cat like if it's you know I mean berson was and charl was and you know I just think
44:18
it it is a big deal to him so I think yes I think it's probably I think that's
44:23
probably true but I think it's more so that his body is just breaking down he's
44:28
a human being and he's had several surgeries of like important parts of the
44:34
[ __ ] body like the hips and the groins and the you know what I mean like you can't play if your hips don't work
44:42
and your groin doesn't work you know what I mean like it's just does a really serious injuries and surgeries like and
44:50
he's 36 like and that's the and not only that that's how that's a big part of how
44:56
we plays he's low center of gravity his legs are Wicked Strong like he's he's
45:02
all in the hips like that's how he plays you take that [ __ ] away and he doesn't
45:08
he's not 62225 no like he's he's barely 510 nine
45:17
I don't even think he's that no and he's and he's you know small he's a small guy
45:23
so I think that that's a problem I think it's a big problem and I think you're starting to see a decline now he might
45:30
start to figure it out I I really think now looking back and I know they're short-handed already I wouldn't have
45:37
started the season I would have I would have slowly eased your way back get into
45:43
practices you know start working out and I think he came back too soon yeah you
45:48
know I think he came back too soon because he I mean c looks like he not looking
45:55
good at all like it's um I you know I'm looking at him tonight like he he doesn't you know he had he had 18
46:02
minutes he had four shots on net he was a minus two um you know he's he's uh he had that
46:10
one opportunity where it sort of hit him in the knees and it fell down and he kind of flubbed it um he's probably he's
46:17
probably feeling it too he's probably feeling a little tight on the stick because he wants to score and he wants to
46:23
produce um even last year he was a 70 Point guy or whatever like he's yeah I
46:28
mean at least tonight he was finally starting to shoot the puck a little bit so that's yeah I mean it's but I'm
46:34
really concerned because they're already thin at Winger and if he if he can't
46:41
produce oh my God I mean they're I mean yeah oh they're dead in the water they might not make the playoffs If he if he
46:48
if he is a shell of himself they they may not make the playoffs I they may not I mean they
46:56
might not it's it's they have a lot of stuff right now to figure out a lot ofu figure out
47:03
and and right now they don't have many answers to it all right so um yeah it's
47:09
it's going to be uh interesting to see how uh they handle it Monty handles it
47:15
and the and the team responds here in the next you know few days here see if they can get their [ __ ] together all
47:20
right let's go to some fan comments t-boss 42 NHL rule number one passengers
47:25
do not get Puck luck pasta has been a passenger all year you know he he does have what is it four
47:31
goals or whatever and he he does get his shots on that but I just don't think his game's complete like I just don't think
47:37
he's playing with the same kind of passion and effort in both sides of the ice like you turn himself into a decent
47:43
defensive player honestly people don't want to give him credit for it but he's actually he was actually a decent
47:49
defensive player he had a 90s something hits last year like he he started to be
47:55
a physical presence and this year he's just floating around like you said he's not he doesn't seem
48:01
to be skating real hard there's not a lot of burst it's just and I don't know if he just thinks that first of all he
48:08
ly here's the other thing linol and posano didn't play a hell of a lot together like ly home missed a lot of
48:15
preseason and the whole pre I'll tell you what the pre-season that that preseason is lowkey
48:23
a big problem that they had like they they mismanaged the preseason hugely
48:28
mismanaged the pre-season not enough people talk about it no they did we're talking about we are right here on this
48:35
very program they mismanaged it they they were playing guys who weren't G to make the team too much they set up their
48:42
Providence ruins and then sent them all down yeah like they just took for
48:47
granted that these guys are pros and These Guys these guys will be fine well they're brand new and linol and pag have
48:53
no chemistry yeah I don't I don't I don't get the whole I don't yeah that was a flub that was a
49:01
that was again that's coaching and general managing but that's that's the coaching piece like get get
49:08
your guys in there together like even when they were in in the game even when they played a preseason
49:14
game they didn't even play together they were missing match the lines were all [ __ ] up and they didn't even put the
49:20
lines that they were going to run with in the season together all that much no
49:25
that that's that was a mistake too it's like if you're going to play you know past not going to play preseason game
49:31
play him with [ __ ] zaka and Lindholm yeah or playing with marand or playing
49:36
with some guy that he needs to develop chemistry with that's why I just I I thought the I thought the preseason was
49:43
just handled really really poorly I'd like to go back I'm gonna go try to go back I may I'll do that for tomorrow's
49:49
episode and go back to the seven games and see what the lines are and I swear to God I I swear to God there's not
49:55
back-to-back game with the lines are the same Oh no just people every there's just people everywhere there's just
50:01
people everywhere and you have no CH so I get it if you know it leave it to Monty one thing about Monty if if the
50:09
team sucks he changes all the lines like there's no chance for you to work through anything because he's gonna
50:15
change everything all the time and it's the opposite of Klo Julian who would stick it out and stick it out and stick
50:20
it out I think you got to stick it out some like you just can't just keep you can't get any rhythm or any any
50:26
chemistry you can't you can't you know uh Patra to Providence Max Jones to
50:34
to and give his one million to Tyler Johnson I you know what I I I'm seeing
50:40
now why people are so frustrated with Max Jones he was a high draft pick or whatever I see now why people just move
50:48
on from the guy he just doesn't have it he just doesn't have it and and that's just you are what you
50:54
are that's that's a big that's Numero Uno in professional sports
51:00
you are what you are yeah and he's he is what he is they they talk about him as
51:06
an elite skater uh Johnny beer is an elite skater and he's a fourth line player too yes so it's not like all of a
51:13
sudden it's not like all of a sudden these guys are gonna like become 50 goal scorers like that's not happening so
51:20
like the max Joneses of the world Diamond dozen I mean yeah might
51:25
maybe he's maybe he's not a dime of dozen maybe he's you know a quarter a dozen maybe he's a little bit better
51:31
than a dime of dozen because he's really a very good skater but you know
51:37
whatever I mean if he gets picked by someone else he gets picked by someone else if he's waved and somebody grabs
51:43
him he he's waved and somebody grabs him right he a rat's ass uh trabs thinks
51:48
that uh mty's lost the room and I'll tell you there's some signs there that
51:53
it might be happening like I don't know if he's completely I don't know I mean it is early in the season and so forth
52:00
um I don't I don't know if that's 100% true but there's some signs there that I
52:08
think it's more so that he is unsure whether he'll have a job and I think
52:14
he's getting nervous and when you get nervous you start making these panic moves that doesn't seem a lot to be a
52:20
lot of comfort and ease and Poise to him right now and what he says and what does
52:28
and I just think he's feeling the Heat and he's feeling that they don't want to keep him I think he's lame duck yeah I
52:36
mean I he's still a relatively inexperienced head coach as far as the
52:41
NHL goes he absolutely is so you know maybe it's just over he's over his head
52:48
a little bit here and it's just do you think do you think if they had let's say they
52:54
had Barry trots or I don't even who was available at the time let's they say they had someone more
53:00
experienced that year that they had the record do you think they win the
53:06
cup uh I mean maybe maybe maybe maybe you
53:13
know I certainly think they beat Florida I think I think yeah I mean I
53:18
think they they would have had a a really good chance yeah yes I think so
53:23
too I think they yeah I mean I think they needed coach with more experience maybe a little bit of a steadier hand
53:30
not as reactionary um and maybe a little a guy who would be willing to make adjustments
53:37
a little bit more of a not necessarily a hard ass but a guy who's gonna say look this is what we
53:44
need to do a guy with a little more cache that can talk to the veterans um you know a guy who's voice
53:50
carries weight in the room I don't know if Mon's voice carries weight in the room they like what did this guy do I I
53:56
don't think so I think he came in as the nice guy the the the fun guy the the guy
54:03
that's has a good personality and it's different than Cassidy who was a kudin that you know wanted to Who Would you
54:09
know crawl up and down you and be sarcastic and make fun of you and you know and make you feel bad and all that
54:16
stuff and you know Jonathan Maro said the same thing that all the bruan said about Cassidy the thing is is that the
54:23
golden knights fought through it it won the cup like that's you know that was the big difference but with Monty he was
54:30
the diff he was different you know he was the guy that was coming in hey you know and and they had a really good team
54:37
and he didn't have to coach all that much and it was a feel-good thing and everybody felt you know exhaled and felt
54:43
better about themselves and and all that stuff well at the end of the day he screwed it up because he was
54:49
inexperienced and he [ __ ] with the lines and played bers around when he shouldn't have and you know just didn't
54:56
just just didn't he didn't have to touch it in game five and they win the series
55:02
yeah he but he [ __ ] around with it like they were down 3-1 and you never do
55:07
that like who the hell would do that they lose and then they lose and then they lose and it's over in a Flash yeah
55:13
and that's partly his fault he even admitted it so you know what that's now
55:19
it's like okay now we have an inexperienced coach that blew a historic season and now we have an you know now
55:26
it's like uh does this guy really know what he's doing how come we can't be Florida how come we can't get the park
55:31
out of the Zone like what like what what do what do you have for Anis Monty like and I don't think he has much I just
55:37
don't think he and you know what he's got Joe Saku who's been there for 10 11 years whatever the hell it is I don't
55:43
even know why you know he's got he's got naked pictures of somebody is he coaching the defense Sako I I think he
55:50
does the defense who does the defense I think it's is it Chris Kelly is no he's not here anymore Kelly's not there
55:56
anymore right he's not I think he didn't he take a job somewhere else I don't even know I don't know they got they got
56:03
they got leech and Sako and Sako does penalty kill maybe he does defense maybe
56:08
leech I don't know I don't I don't know it all sucks SOS offense anyways yeah it
56:14
sucks make some make some adjustments the guy been here if the GU sako's been there for 12 15 years whatever it is
56:22
make some goddamn adjustments I know I know I don't I don't I don't like right now it just seems like they
56:28
play the same way over and over again and tonight it was the same thing like let's turn it back toward the Blue Line
56:35
try to make a play like to the guy coming and they know it's coming so they deflect the pass it goes the other way
56:42
like it's just the vanill the the offense is so it just seems to me so
56:48
vanilla and stagnant and just not a lot of when they get chances it's usually
56:53
like a loose puck or a someone makes kind of makes a play on something and
56:59
then it turns into something like there's no like you know they don't come out like the Moscow Red Army and like
57:05
make a really nice breakout to a shot to a great play or there's none of that
57:11
there's none of that so it's usually done on the four check which they don't do enough and you know uh peson says we
57:19
can call this a sorry John episode this team [ __ ] smells right now uh 75%
57:26
this is on the players so yes I I would say that but the but the roster
57:33
construction kind of blows and guys are playing in positions that they shouldn't
57:38
be like they're they're being put on lines that just shouldn't be Max Jones
57:44
gets put on the second line again when he laid a massive egg the first time he
57:49
was on it takes penalties gets scratched so what are we going to do we're going to put him on it again and then takes
57:56
two more penalties and does next to nothing I mean what do you expect what
58:02
do you expect it's like the definition of insanity you know expecting a different
58:08
result Shaz diet says how much do you think the other teams know how to play against this team watching Florida beat
58:15
this team and we talked about this like there's the book on how to beat the Bruins everybody's watching
58:21
it here there you have it yeah yeah I mean it's it's it's pretty simple
58:29
yeah just watch tape of Boston and Florida and if you have guys that are s similar style to Florida that's that's
58:36
really all you need to do yeah bang their bang their defense force them into turnovers pinch Down the Walls against
58:43
their forwards they can't make plays along the wall none of them can they're awful at it uh and you hem them in and
58:51
then you just get pucks to the net bodies to the net and bang in a rebound boom right w i I think it's time and I
59:00
think we're getting to that point it's time for a whole new management change a
59:05
new like a whole new thing like I just think it's 10 years of this and it was a
59:11
nice it was a nice run and in all but I think it's time now for just a whole new
59:20
philosophy a whole new group I still think in hindsight and like the Monty hiring
59:27
because I was so [ __ ] afraid of David Quinn me too that I was that when Monty
59:34
was hired I was like thank Jesus me too but I still think it's I still think
59:39
it's Spencer cboy might been might have been the guy like it certainly looks that way what he's doing with Washington
59:45
and that team I thought was dog [ __ ] on a stick and they make the playoffs and then this year they're off to a good
59:51
start like he's a good coach and I now in hindsight and I'm not saying I said it at the time I'll freely admit but now
59:59
looking back I'm like Jesus maybe that was the guy probably you know and that's
1:00:05
now now here you have it um let's see what else we have here peon
1:00:12
says we can only hope that Jones tufty and brazzo get claimed so Monte isn't tempted to put them in the lineup again
1:00:18
Tyler Johnson is going to demand seven million seeing how desperate
1:00:23
the yes yes that's probably a good uh Point um and then tboss says I love
1:00:31
everybody I love everybody using sorry John it's it's caught on poor John hasn't been back but uh no but he will
1:00:38
live in INF for me uh 80% of the turnovers are on the backand and that's what I'm saying they come into the Zone
1:00:44
they turn these blind passes like trying to get it to a guy that's supposedly
1:00:49
there but that's covered because they know it's coming I just hate the way I just hate the way this team plays
1:00:55
offense I really I just do too I do I can't stand the way they play offense I do too and I think and I think it's
1:01:01
largely because they don't have a lot of cohesiveness either I it I think I think that's true
1:01:09
I but I think you they could play the Carolina Hurricanes brand of
1:01:15
offense which is when you get the puck into the zone you get it down low you
1:01:20
work it low to high and as soon as the puck gets back to the point it's on the net they don't they don't don't waste
1:01:26
time dusting it off [ __ ] around with it sorry John it's on the net and the forwards are going to the net and that's
1:01:34
what they do unless they can get a play off the rush that's what they do that's how they play offense and it works for
1:01:40
them and you know they have more Talent offensively than we do but you know if
1:01:46
you're going to spend all your money on defense which the Bruins have you know they should do that that's where you
1:01:53
know you're going to need some production to come from there so that that's what they should be doing
1:01:58
in my opinion because they don't have the forwards right now to make it work so get it get it down low possess the
1:02:05
puck low to high and then as soon as the defense has a lane shoot the puck and
1:02:11
and just get to the front of the net for tips and rebounds they they don't have enough Talent outside of poock to score
1:02:18
goals like dangling through people they just don't they don't they don't they
1:02:23
don't have the individual creativity yeah you have to change the way you play offense and they need to change the way
1:02:29
they break Puck out of their Zone we've talked about this too the quick transition team with a slow big team
1:02:36
isn't going to work who are you gonna beat up the ice everybody catches you everybody they catch you so possess the
1:02:43
puck go D to D if you have to and then chip Pucks in down low and go get it and
1:02:49
bang bodies if you're a big team which you wanted to be apparently you know you
1:02:54
have to change the way you play so either they need a new coach or they need the coach to change his philosophy
1:03:00
or they need new players I almost think that I almost think Julian would be a better coach for this team he absolutely
1:03:07
what they have for what they have because they go they go D to D their forward to be way deep helping out the D
1:03:14
it would be a slow methodical up the ice but I think that this team would need that this team does need that yeah you
1:03:22
can't continuously just chip the up the boards
1:03:27
because that does get it you're not GNA get offense you're doing it in your own defensive zone so then it's a 5050 puck
1:03:35
in Center ice or most likely it's like a 3070 puck in Center ice right you're
1:03:41
chipping it to the other team they're getting and transitioning you with speed and good players against your slow guys
1:03:48
like you're just asking for trouble all over the ice you're asking for trouble they need to change the way they do
1:03:54
things but some somebody somebody's got to be smart enough to decide to do that and I it
1:04:01
doesn't appear as though anyone wants to right the players are just you know buying into the system I guess and the
1:04:09
the coaching staff is coaching the same way they always have and Sweeney's got you know the same player the same coach
1:04:17
the same you know management style same big guys I don't know it's the same [ __ ]
1:04:23
over and over again when do you think when do you think Tyler Johnson signs hopefully tomorrow tomorrow morning I
1:04:30
think it might be tomorrow I hope so I think it might be tomorrow and I'm not sure who they send down but I think
1:04:37
it might beor in his two penalties in you can you can afford to lose tuy I
1:04:45
what is the what is the big you mean to tell me you mean to tell me that Trevor
1:04:51
countar or John Farinacci or Riley Durant couldn't do what Riley toughy
1:04:56
does like do you really have to hang on to him you you can't sign Tyler Johnson
1:05:01
because you're afraid to lose Riley tufty you know what I want on on the on
1:05:07
the bottom one of the bottom two lines is Trevor count I want a [ __ ] stir back on the team I don't want I don't want a
1:05:14
guy who's just gonna go and just take penalties I want a [ __ ] stir I want somebody who's gonna get into the crease
1:05:19
like Brennan Gallagher and chop the goalie in the leg or you know chop one of the defenseman in the leg Yeah you
1:05:25
know give him a butt end whatever give me give me yeah just cause Havoc give me
1:05:33
one of those give me him yeah give me him on the on the bottom you know not the fourth line don't touch the fourth
1:05:39
line but no don't touch the fourth line but you know put him on the third line yeah hell put him out there with Freddy
1:05:45
maybe he'll he'll rub off on Freddy a little bit Yeah Freddy and K sure yeah and Charlie Cole you can throw geeky to
1:05:53
you know you can wave him too fire to the Sun fire him to the sun I mean they've got geeky and Frederick coming
1:05:59
up at the end of the year at at this point like last year I would have said yeah Frederick's gonna sign or whatever
1:06:05
they'll find I don't think and and you think he's leaving but I don't think at
1:06:10
this point I don't know if they want to keep him not if he plays like this they don't no I don't think so I mean was he
1:06:16
a dash tonight yeah I think everybody was Dash tonight uh Frederick was no he was even
1:06:24
two shots three hit he played 1422 18 shifts course they
1:06:29
were short-handed quite a bit he's not really a short he doesn't play any penalty kill no so um you know lost one
1:06:37
face off I me yeah but he but he he hasn't
1:06:43
done anything offensively like it like last year it seemed like he has a goal
1:06:49
and he's a minus s like yeah I mean you know I mean like
1:06:56
in in losses he's a minus five you know I mean he doesn't do
1:07:02
anything right now offensively no they have a team full of guys who don't do anything yeah
1:07:08
they're all the same there's a bunch of guys who are the same and right now they don't have enough top six players they
1:07:16
don't have enough Wingers they need a Winger and and Sweeny said that they weren't a finished product everybody
1:07:22
knew they were a Winger short top six Winger short that's why lysel and merula have got
1:07:28
time to see if they could be one that's why Tyler Johnson's sitting in the in his living room waiting because they are
1:07:35
short a top six Winger but at least one
1:07:41
but right now um you know they don't have anybody but posano really that can
1:07:48
really play the wing offensively the way it needs to be
1:07:54
done no I mean and you know there there aren't a lot of guys like posano out there but
1:08:00
you get some you know there's some second line guys that you could you
1:08:05
know you could get or should have got maybe instead of
1:08:11
spending more money on defense yeah all right do you have three stars for the Boston Bruins tonight uh I would
1:08:19
say Jeremy Swan Jeremy swan
1:08:25
Jeremy SW well I I I'll say I'll say I'll say lowai was the only only defenseman without a
1:08:31
giveaway I will say that um didn't he pass the puck into the middle of the
1:08:38
that wasn't him lowai no that was I believe that was lyol that LOL I think
1:08:43
that was lyol um J uh J uh Mason lry okay was I'll have him as one and then
1:08:51
there was um there was a forward who was
1:08:57
um well I mean I would say I would say well I mean Ki had one
1:09:03
shot I didn't I mean Ki wasn't bad cck won the fight he was cck won the fight
1:09:09
yeah he was he was he was decent yeah Jones Jones had a hit four pims he had a
1:09:17
block shot no shots on net played 18 shifts for some ungodly reason um yeah he he played
1:09:26
1114 castc played 955 um who played the most minutes it
1:09:33
was uh zaka played 1848 for uh forwards did zaka hit two post tonight P zaka hit
1:09:41
two post zaka has been the guy who's had the most like
1:09:47
glorious opportunities offensively all season long yeah and doesn't have any [ __ ] thing to show for it no like he
1:09:55
hit the crossbar tonight he had another on the you know cross crease pass yeah
1:10:01
that the guy that Saros made a great save on there was the other night where he had three glaring opportun like three
1:10:08
beautiful opportunities I don't think he got a shot off on all of them like it's
1:10:14
just like he had that one goal he has he has one goal but zaka this is what zaka
1:10:20
is though like he was a high draft pick he had all the potential in the world and he he gets you there but no money
1:10:27
shot like you know what I mean he gets you there but you're like you're just pumping all night long and it's not
1:10:33
gonna happen there's no film in the camera right right he's a he's a porn
1:10:40
director's dream but he doesn't get there at the end of the day you in the
1:10:45
camera is um POS had two breakaways tonight uh tow picked himself on one he
1:10:52
did hell I don't know what the hell he was doing that early in the game he had a he had a he had a breakaway he did um
1:11:00
saved by Saros so Saros made some big saes that was like a that was like 10 seconds into the second period I believe
1:11:07
um so there I mean there were there were some chances by some of the be's you
1:11:12
know big guns I thought the power play overall looked decent tonight um they moved the puck fairly
1:11:18
well and they had some pretty good chances but you know I don't know
1:11:26
Dan Maynard is asking if we if we're still looking for names for the fourth line he said Team foreplay is that too
1:11:32
much yeah I mean you can yeah it might be slightly better
1:11:37
than than Whopper than the Whopper line yeah but uh Team foreplay yeah that
1:11:44
might be that might be pretty good uh Tonight Tonight of course tonight was
1:11:49
Casta gets in the fight and then it was kind of an uneven game lots of penalties
1:11:55
not a lot of 515 so the fourth line didn't have the same sort of effect it wasn't like they were bad they were
1:12:01
probably still the best line they had but they just didn't play as many
1:12:06
minutes as they have in the past um all right so next game is Thursday night at
1:12:13
home against Dallas it's the it's those all that it's that dangerous coming home
1:12:18
after a trip too you gotta throw that thing in there too let down city after
1:12:23
you come back from a trip it shouldn't be left down City because they just got their ass kicked be right shouldn't be
1:12:30
but it's always weird coming back home it is it is and Dallas is very good and
1:12:37
uh it's seven o'clock so thank God for that we we could get back to 7 o'clock Eastern Time games hour yeah would be
1:12:44
great uh so that will be and we will be post game live Thursday night okay do you have a prediction for Thursday my
1:12:50
prediction for Thursday y my prediction for Thursday is five to3
1:12:57
Dallas Stars you think we're going to score three goals yeah I think so at
1:13:03
home yeah I think so really yeah okay I'm gonna say yes did AER play
1:13:09
tonight uh I don't know no I think the other guy played Talk Amongst yourselves
1:13:15
who's the who's the who's the backup I think the I think the backup played tonight so we're gonna get ainger Talk
1:13:20
Amongst yourselves yeah I think so um Binger played tonight oh he did okay so
1:13:27
maybe we get maybe they get the backup do you see uh do you see Corp
1:13:35
pasalo yeah I think it's gonna be corpo go they'll go sing against Toronto yeah
1:13:42
yeah so I think it's going to be uh I think it's G to be four- Zer again four
1:13:48
nothing so another another shut out yeah and then we're in
1:13:53
trouble yeah I think D gonna come in and I mean Dallas is a much better team than
1:13:59
Nashville Dallas is come in and and be pissed off they lost to Buffalo we're
1:14:06
coming back from a road trip we can't do anything right and and I think the boo
1:14:12
birds start coming because people are getting a little irritated people are gonna be people are gonna be restless they're gonna take a stupid penalty
1:14:18
early in the game Dallas is probably going to score in the power play the crowd's going to turn on him corosal is
1:14:24
going to let in a one or two and there you go it's two nothing a 3 nothing before you know it and Dallas just
1:14:30
coasts to an easy Victory and we don't have any push back and it's 40 shut out
1:14:36
two times in a row that that might that might uh cause some cause some stirring
1:14:44
PE PE says so so three goals from the fourth line then yeah yeah one one for
1:14:52
each one for each on uh th yeah so if that happens I mean if they come back
1:14:57
and and lay lay an egg at home then you really have to start thinking if Monty is just all done like if it's just not
1:15:05
working you really have to think that I mean if they come back and respond and win and play much better at home um then
1:15:14
then we'll probably just jumping the gun and maybe I mean I'm I'm sky's falling right now because I just I I just I
1:15:20
don't like the way any of it's trending I don't like the way they're playing I don't like any of I don't love like I
1:15:26
get it's seven games and people always say that Jesus only seven games you thinking yeah I get it but there just
1:15:32
the signs are there that it's not great right you know and and and and we have
1:15:38
to do this every night so we have we're talking about the game after the game
1:15:43
and obviously right directly after a game where you get your ass kicked you're gonna be like oh that wasn't
1:15:48
great that didn't that didn't make me feel too good if we were doing it back
1:15:53
you know if we were doing it once a week you know you You' have a little time to reflect on it and be like all right you
1:15:59
know step back wasn't that bad they'll be fine right you know and hopefully that's all true hopefully they will be
1:16:05
fine and hopefully I'm wrong about Thursday they come in they they respond they wake up and and have a nice big win
1:16:13
against a really good Dallas Stars team and then you're like okay you know maybe we can build off that so right um you
1:16:20
know obviously I'm rooting for a for a big Bruins W on Thursday but you know I
1:16:25
I just I I I'm I don't have a great feeling around the team right now no I don't think so but if if they win the
1:16:31
next two then all is probably right in the world and we're back to we should call this Bruins Bender's instant
1:16:37
reaction instead of post Gabe live because my instant reaction is we blow
1:16:42
and this isn't this isn't the best feeling um all right so let's do it again Thursday night hey thanks for the
1:16:48
comments thanks for watching and we'll be back at it Thursday night for postgame live after breu star
1:16:55
as always even tonight thanks a lot byebye
