good thing a chirp two and how about
0:02
this the Bruins are 91 and four when
0:04
they fight this year so all you
0:06
wackadoos would think that fighting is
0:08
the is the core of hockey still you know
0:11
I guess that's a good I guess you're
0:13
right I guess the Bruins just need to
0:15
fight every game yeah they'd be 82 82
0:18
and0 if they fought every game right
0:20
sure fight yeah every time they fight
0:22
they win uh chir two rough figures here
0:26
uh but this was from Tai Anderson but
0:28
since uh hampus lhol returned to the
0:30
lineup on March 9th the linol Brandon
0:32
Carlo pair has been on the ice for 11
0:35
goals against in about 120 minutes or so
0:37
of all situational play so the Bruins
0:39
have allowed 11 goals in the 290 minutes
0:42
or so with that pairing off the ice so
0:46
the Bruins Rose to the physical
0:47
challenge by Florida finally does this
0:50
well bode well for them going into the
0:52
playoffs and in a list listener asked
0:55
how to solve this linol Carlo pairing
0:59
but I think you saw toward the end of
1:00
the game be more physical yeah that's
1:04
the answer for those guys did you know
1:07
that that fight was hampus lindholm's
1:09
first career fight in the NFL it was his
1:11
first career fight wow his first career
1:14
fight in the league in the leag so wow I
1:18
mean he's a nice guy Brandon Carl's a
1:20
nice guy too yeah they're both Wonder
1:22
play more like they played last night
1:25
Brandon kylo I think this year overall
1:28
has been more physical than has been is
1:30
it enough no it is not enough nope he
1:34
can still do more uh and hampus lindome
1:37
needs to do a lot more and the fact that
1:40
he stood up to S Bennett last night was
1:42
a giant step in my opinion in the right
1:45
direction yeah and they they need to
1:47
that's the difference that's the reason
1:49
if they're G to be out especially if
1:51
they're going to be out against other
1:53
teams top lines like if that's the
1:55
Bruins you know so-called shutdown line
1:58
if they're going to be out there against
1:59
the other team top lines they have to be
2:01
much more nasty much much much more
2:04
nasty you don't necessarily have to
2:06
fight but you have to use your big
2:08
bodies to cross check clear the front of
2:10
the net uh make people not want to come
2:13
in there not necessarily box them out
2:16
and lift their sticks make them not want
2:18
to go there that's the difference
2:21
between a nasty physical defenseman and
2:23
a guy who just you know takes care of
2:25
someone's stick you know that's not the
2:28
same thing especially in the playoffs so
2:31
yeah I and I think lyol especially if if
2:35
I think it'll help him be engaged more
2:36
and give him a little more confidence
2:39
because last year he really struggled in
2:40
the first round it seemed like he didn't
2:42
really want any real contact and he was
2:44
kind of you know really indecisive the
2:47
the hard foreing really bothered him but
2:49
I think if he he stands up to Sam
2:51
Bennett now maybe that turns a corner
2:53
for him and maybe because he look
2:55
playoff the players they listen to the
2:57
nonsense sure like he knows that people
3:00
think he's soft yeah he knows this so if
3:04
he if he has some of that you know kind
3:08
of Confidence from being more physical
3:10
getting in a fight you know he survived
3:12
it like maybe that's all he really
3:14
needed to say okay I can I can do this
3:16
part of it too uh and I I agree on Carlo
3:19
I think he's been pretty good largely
3:21
most of the year and I think he's been
3:23
more physical I think he's been a little
3:24
bit better after the whistle and that
3:26
type of thing and then when he show up
3:28
to kachuk last night at the end of the
3:30
game I thought that was great like I
3:31
think that's what he needs to do so I
3:33
think that pairing really needs to play
3:36
that way and they'll be fine because
3:39
they're both good players like they'll
3:40
be fine so but I but I think it's
3:44
necessary and they're gonna be part of
3:46
The Fall Guys if it doesn't go well yeah
3:49
because if they playist this way with
3:51
those kind of numbers then it that's
3:53
going to be a big Hefty blame and then
3:55
you have to wonder you know do you have
3:57
to move on from a linol or do you have
3:59
to change the dynamic of your defense
4:01
which we've talked about yeah I mean
4:03
lindol really needs to be for that
4:06
pairing he needs to be much better
4:08
because he needs to be the one going
4:10
back on pucks and making the the
4:13
decisions to pass the puck out of the
4:14
Zone that's not really Brandon Carlos's
4:16
game you know makoy can do it you know
4:19
Lind Holm is your other guy who's
4:21
supposed to be your you know your really
4:23
good Puck moving defenseman and if he's
4:25
worried about getting knocked around um
4:28
you know you see the turnover and and
4:30
hemmed In Their Own Zone and and
4:32
problems with that so he really has to
4:35
uh be much better and kind of raise his
4:37
game not necessarily to the level he was
4:40
at at the beginning of last year because
4:41
that's just unfair he was playing at a
4:43
ridiculous level and you can't expect
4:45
him to to do that for an entire season
4:49
or entire playoff um because that just
4:51
hasn't been in his nature over the
4:53
course of his career but um to approach
4:56
that um would would really help the
4:59
Bruins uh a lot in the
5:01
playoffs 100% and I and I agree so I
5:05
think um you know I'm there they're a
5:07
major focus when it comes to comes to
5:10
the success of the team because they
5:12
both play Heavy minutes and um that
5:15
needs to be a good pairing it would help
5:17
makavo out a lot if that was the case
5:19
too so we'll see how that goes for them
