0:20
coverage and tonight the Bruins get their second win of the weekend their
0:26
second shut out as well a two nothing win over the Seattle crap in at TD
0:31
Garden and it seems to be that the Bruins just might be back to playing the
0:38
way they should it's Maddie and Smitty and we are pleased to have everybody with us today in the comment section
0:44
already firing it up and uh it was a great start to the game we've talked
0:49
about bad starts and not starting on time the Bruins have started on time two games in a row I have an enormous first
0:56
period where they outshoot Seattle 153 Seattle doesn't get a shot for 17 and a
1:01
12 minutes and that kind of set the tone for the game and and uh the Bruins are
1:07
digging themselves out of this thing it looks like you can hope so you can hope so uh I didn't love the third period
1:14
kind of fell back into that you know shell around the goalie just let the other team come and bombard you the
1:20
Bruins got lucky a few times Chandler Stevenson had a post clean um you know
1:26
and a lot of kind of scrambly moments there but overall you know again a pretty good effort the first was
1:32
fantastic you know the second there was a little let down there in the middle I think the I thought the Bruins had a
1:38
million chances to kind of put this game away um got a bad break kind of on the
1:44
zaka goal uh that was taken off the board uh and then you know they had some
1:50
power plays where they had a ton of flurries around the front of the net I mean Trent Frederick at one point had a wide open net um you know Puck kind of
1:57
hopped over his stick and and then he couldn't uh or couldn't bang it in you know Maran on a wrap around you know
2:03
kind of rolls off his stick so um you know some of that stuff you know they
2:08
they need to bury some of those things so that they don't have to do this whole you know White Knuckle kind of closed to
2:17
the games here where it's you know everybody's scrambling um it'd be nice to you know kind of open it up you can
2:23
roll the lines you know those minutes aren't frantic and frenetic and and
2:29
you're worried about uh you know fatigue and that kind of stuff so um overall a
2:36
really nice win another shut out I thought Swan was really good but you know still some things they need to take
2:41
care of again Seattle you know kind of in the same position as Boston you know right around 500 played last night so
2:50
you know then Bruins aren't exactly running through the iron of the league here when they're when they're winning
2:55
these games so as much as I'd like to say yeah they're back you know still
3:01
some things that I'm that I'm not particularly fond of and still you know trouble scoring goals um
3:08
so positive signs op I'm cautiously optimistic I'll go with that yeah and
3:14
and I was thinking of this when the end of the second period when I don't know how Trent Frederick and Pavo zaka didn't
3:20
score the goal it was like there was a protective shield over the goal line and
3:26
I'm thinking to myself this is G what it's going to be all year it's going to be within a nut hair of scoring when you
3:33
really need one and you don't and you lose like the big games like this is my
3:40
fear is that it's just not going to be quite enough like the tail is Old As
3:45
Time back in the 80s when we were kids like they just don't have quite enough they just don't have quite enough
3:51
scoring like they can't get the Big Goal like they can't finish like I mean they were all over Seattle and and dord has
3:59
had a great year Ian he's seventh on goals ones above expected or whatever
4:04
like he's been really good this year for them thankfully well they'd be they'd be in theed yeah they'd be buried I mean
4:11
they're they're seventh in the league in that category so and he's one of the tops but uh so he's been very good but
4:18
the Jesus like how many times that the Bruins have it like just just need to
4:24
find a hole and score the goal and they just couldn't do it time after time this is is how they're going to have to play
4:31
LLY because they can't finish that well so they're going to have to dominate play and almost forcefully score goal
4:38
you know to stay to stay ahead and then win games two to nothing three to one three to nothing like they're going to have to do that all year yeah absolutely
4:46
uh we've said it all along the defense and the goal tending should be the strength of the team it seems to be
4:51
showing up you know this weekend they got great goal tending performances from both Corp pasalo and Swan this weekend
4:58
and scored enough to win um you know so that's what they're going to have to rely on you know I thought
5:04
the defense overall today was pretty good um you know some giveaways there
5:09
towards the end makoy with a boneheaded play right towards the end there I thought he was really good up until that point he's he tied a career high in
5:16
shots today was seven so um you know he's getting the puck to the net which we've been asking for for years and
5:23
years from him um overall I thought he was good but again a bone he's standing still with it behind the net Everly them
5:29
and they get a really good chance um you know he makes a save off his ass late in the game that was a Surefire goal um so
5:38
um you know Seattle might have had too you know if this if the Stevenson shot goes in and and you know mako's ass
5:46
isn't as big as it is right it doesn't hit his ass and it
5:51
goes in you know the top corner there and it's a two- two game so you know like I said some things to clean up
5:58
overall but you know fighting their way out of it kind of a little bit here yeah
6:04
you know a little bit and the lost Pasto for the for the period yeah he went out with a little tender it must have been a
6:11
lower body thing he was trying to skate around trying to loosen it up couldn't really do it he had seven shots in the
6:17
game and I thought he was really good except for that one freaking turnover yeah you know just by the blue line
6:22
where he's trying to dangle through three guys again they went the other way and that was you know they had a couple
6:28
of opportunities Seattle did to really to you know to score and Swan was
6:34
terrific and we talked about that yesterday like it's time for San to kind of match cor pasalo and and have a game
6:41
like cor pasalo had and they and he did I mean they had back-to-back shut outs and he was great like he he had some
6:48
real sparkling saves and at the end of the period end of the first period after all that yeah and they and they don't
6:55
score the third goal because of the goal tender interference which we'll get into in a minute but
7:00
and then they and then they don't they don't uh you know and Seattle has like three shots on net at like the last two
7:07
minutes and he has to make a couple of great saves just to keep it to zip yeah
7:13
Seattle scores there then Jesus maybe momentum goes the other way and oh for sure you know and then Seattle had the
7:18
push back and you know they're gonna have push back they were shut out yesterday yeah so they don't want to be shut out back to back so they're going
7:25
to push back so there's part of that too I mean I'm not going to get too carried away with it but you know and then and
7:30
then Nikita zadorov just seems to be turning the puck over at will trying to
7:35
trying to exit the Zone like oh my God he had a couple more he's just like flimsy with it you know dusting it off
7:43
you know just not not being crisp with his uh decision making uh trying to get
7:49
the puck out yeah it's it's an issue uh for this team and I think it will be all
7:54
year long um yeah it it so you know when the Bruins exit the dzone cleanly they
8:01
usually generate speed through the neutral zone and that leads to a good for check when they when they are poor
8:06
with uh or or soft with their clears and with their passes out of the zone and
8:12
it's not tape to tape it's in guys skates and stuff they struggle because they don't have enough Team Speed to be able to handle that and then generate
8:18
the momentum again so the the the outlet passes are are very important with this
8:24
team the Bruins have some guys that should be able to do it makavo you know has made some really good plays and and
8:30
there was a few tonight that I thought he made um excellent plays where he kind of held the puck drew a guy you know a
8:37
little behind the back feed to someone up the wall and then they get an easy breakout so um they have guys that can
8:44
do it they just have to do it consistently um and you know they have to do it with pressure on the in their
8:50
face um and that's not the easiest thing and I think the forwards need to come back lower in the zone to help out as
8:56
well like now another great thing was uh Patra who gets blasted behind the net
9:03
and Freddy comes to his Aid and takes care of Lon and that was a really that
9:09
was another good indication of you know Bruin's not really taking that [ __ ] anymore kind of thing yeah you know the
9:16
last couple years you know guys would get sort of hit now that was a good clean hit I mean that's and I have my
9:21
thing about that whole thing like you don't have to go attack a guy every time he I mean that was a good clean hit and
9:28
patra's head's down like get your head up right and and he got blasted like I
9:33
don't think it's you know I have my thing about answering to that but I
9:38
think in this case with Patra I think it's a it's a good sign that Frederick's like this is a 20-year-old kid smaller
9:45
guy and I'm gonna stand up for him and I think it eases patra's mind too maybe
9:52
that he has teammates who will stand up to that stuff and he's not just out there on an island by himself yeah I
9:58
think I think that does send a good message to Patra I think it sends a good message to the rest of the team that he
10:04
was willing that Fredick you know stepped in and he didn't ask which which I liked because too much like you know
10:12
the guy levels one of your guys and then you ask him if he wants to fight like he's G it was a clean hit I don't want
10:19
so he just dropped the gloves and went after him like that's that's what you need to do it's you you got to stop
10:25
being gentleman all the goddamn time and and when some someone lays out one of your guys you got to go after them I
10:32
mean that plain and simple so I I did love that from Freddy that he that he did that and and I think having
10:40
Frederick on a line with ptra I don't say I don't think it will deter guys from taking runs at him but
10:48
it will certainly ease patra's mind I think knowing that Freddy is out there you know having his back yeah and I
10:54
think that's good to have someone like that on his line um I'd like ptra to be in the top
11:01
six I'd rather that I'd rather him play with Mar and posn to be honest with you I'd rather them do that for a bit and
11:07
see how that works to be honest uh and drop linol down and have him play with
11:13
zaka and somebody zaka and Frederick or zaka and some other second liner um I'd
11:19
rather that but if ptra is not going to be up there then I'd like him to be with someone like Frederick at least for now
11:26
uh all right let's talk uh let's talk brazer not not the opp Point site let's talk Justin
11:32
brazzo um brazer scores another goals fourth of the Season already the second
11:38
two games and I've been on this guy and so forth but I'll tell you here's the
11:45
thing about Breo that I'm going to concede like he plays hard like it
11:51
doesn't sometimes when a guy like that with not a lot of speed and stuff it doesn't really look like he's playing
11:57
hard because he doesn't skate fast and there's not a lot of energy to what he's
12:02
doing but he plays hard he grinds he wins battles he possesses the puck he
12:08
keeps it away he makes the right play typically like especially around the net
12:15
Mak makes the right play uh he he makes things happen he creates space he makes
12:20
those kind of things happen the problem is trying to get him there but once he gets there he's a paying the balls to to
12:27
move and get take the puck from so I'll give him that I I will and if he keeps
12:34
doing this this way and he's not hurting them by his lack of speed then and he
12:41
still can shows his great hands then then fine I'm okay with him I'm not okay with him in a top six role I still not
12:48
and I'm going to stand by that thing but if you want him on the third line kind of doing this you know with like Coyle
12:55
and Frederick or something I'd get behind that yeah I mean I I I like his
13:02
game overall except for the lack of speed but I I think he makes up for it
13:07
in other areas uh and he's certainly producing goals which the team desperately needs so I mean he's going
13:13
to be in the lineup now should he be a to top six player probably not no but I
13:18
think honestly I think he benefits with from playing with guys that are skilled I I think if he was playing with a
13:24
couple of hammerheads then he he he might not have the same
13:29
you know goalscoring production uh I mean Maran Martian set him up off a beautiful play
13:37
uh to score the goal against Philly yesterday uh and then today you know he's cruising through the slot and gets
13:43
a you know a nice shot pass there and and tips it home so you know if he wants
13:49
to turn into Joe pavelski in front of the net and start tipping pucks and and doing all these things hell I'm all for
13:55
it right I'm all for it um he probably should be a third line guy but on this
14:00
on this team as it's currently constituted I think he's fine where he is in the second line right wing I do
14:07
because you know they the Bruins don't have a ton I would rather have him there than than Morgan geeki who's not doing
14:13
anything at least brzo is uh producing goals so yeah I think he's I think he's
14:19
fine where he is you know on this team but um you know if the Bruins could go out and get a legit second line right
14:26
wing then I'd like to see him slide down the lineup a little bit yeah I'm I'm I'm I'm at a point now with
14:33
geeks that uh I don't know I just he played 14 minutes say had two shots he
14:39
had a block shot and a hit uh there's not a lot there like it's
14:44
just it just doesn't seem to be a lot there and I don't know how much longer you go with the guy and I don't know if
14:51
it's a guy that you can even get anything in the trade deadline probably not like what the hell could you get
14:57
like so I don't I don't know I just if you're it might just be one of those
15:02
things where you just kind of play him here and there and then let him walk at the end of the year I don't know I mean I just I don't I don't see much there
15:08
from him I mean last year he had a pretty good year but now it just seems like he just doesn't do all that much no
15:16
I mean a couple of shots which is good I guess I mean he does have a good shot um
15:23
he did have the the hustle play towards the end of the game uh in Philly yesterday where he beat out the icing
15:29
was that was a good play so you know if he's doing the little things like that you know I would rather have him in the
15:34
lineup to Max Jones because he's not taking penalties all over the [ __ ] um so I mean he's fine but again
15:44
like on this team he's fine he'll need to play on this team but you know again if there was if there was better
15:51
players available to you you know I would rather do that you know I would
15:57
personally I would rather be giving in L Sal a chance somewhere yeah but that's almost like you know you'd rather eat
16:03
cat food than dog food you know I mean you know it's like what yeah also uh we want to give a shout out to Stephen
16:10
Connor's friend that's uh producer Conor's friend that's watching uh thanks for joining us Stephen we appreciate you
16:15
checking it out Stephen Stephen y nice yeah even Stephen the Bruins back to
16:22
even Stephen that's right that's a segue for there 66 and one how about Charlie Coyle how about Charles I mean he he is
16:29
playing like a manp possessed these last two days I don't know what happened but he's playing Angry like he's he's a he's
16:37
he was a beast in the first period tonight like a beast he was fantastic
16:43
and and that's the Charlie Co they need they don't they don't just need him to show up you know like that in in small
16:50
stretches they need that all year long that's the Charlie coil they need all year long they have to that goal scored
16:57
on the power play was phenomenal how about those hands that is that that was
17:04
just filthy that was filth it really was in a shoe box really and just the to
17:09
have the Poise and the patience to to make that move at that particular time was was uh was
17:16
Sensational probably just fire that into the pads and yeah yeah geeky and and
17:22
several others fire R in the pths but yes and me Geeks you know it's not just you right but uh but that as Fred kusich
17:30
would say was a goal scorer's goal sure was uh for without a doubt but he's been
17:35
terrific he has to be like you said and the fact that he wasn't and Frederick wasn't and geeky wasn't is why they were
17:43
where they were like just it was just like it just wasn't a lot there be beside the fourth line now the fourth
17:49
Line's kind of evened out they they're who they are they're not bad they haven't been playing poorly but they're
17:54
not you know plus 10 and scoring all sorts of goals but but that's to be expected you know but right now it's
18:01
better better balance and like you said they haven't played The Who's Who of the
18:07
league you know they're beating some of the bad teams um and that's fine I mean
18:12
you have to you have to sort of take care of business there you know yeah and their confidence was so low that right
18:19
it didn't any kind of a win now is a good win right really any kind of a win is a good win so and here's a and here's
18:25
a good thing is that tonight we talked about playing at home and playing better like they dominated for like a period
18:31
and a half to two periods at home right like they dominated the team that they should beat at home it felt like the old
18:39
Bruins of we're home we're dominant here's here here's a couple other
18:45
positives that I'll give the people because I was I was a little negative off the Hop I'll say
18:51
no couple other positives yeah the Bruins this season when leading after
18:56
two periods 0 and one now okay that's good that is very good particularly last
19:03
year they were giving it up late yep pretty much all year long you know it
19:08
was it was you know it was a it was a problem last year so that's a good thing
19:13
and the Bruins uh with this win second time this season they've won
19:19
back-to-back games only the second time but okay they they've done it now so this is two in a row um and they did
19:26
that only once before this season so maybe this is a thing where now you generate a little bit of momentum you
19:32
can get going you know you you win back to back that was their first back-to-back this season too they win
19:38
both so you know that's important so some positives there that hopefully you
19:44
can build on and you know you can run the run the streak to three uh whenever
19:49
the next game is I don't when are they playing Tuesday Tuesday night yeah yeah um so swayan
19:59
coming into the game he was like 27th among starters in uh saves above
20:05
expected or whatever that status yeah um so he wasn't like look I think there's a
20:11
I think there's fans who say well the team has sucked and the defense hasn't been good and he's been he's been good
20:18
or he's been fine he hasn't been as good I and and that's both can be true that
20:25
his defense has sucked that the team has played with no confidence but that he hasn't been great either and today he
20:32
showed why you pay the money today was the the day where that's a game where he
20:38
he didn't really steal it I don't think because I think they dominated quite a bit but he saved it he saved the win
20:44
certainly did because that could easily be 22 and we could still be playing right now yeah I feel like he he earned
20:51
his money in that one uh for sure that was um that was a game that they needed
20:57
to have too going into it you know we said it yesterday if they lose today then yesterday's win was all for not so
21:03
this was kind of a big game for him a big game for the team um and you know he rose to the occasion the team Rose to
21:10
the occasion so those are you know those are good signs for for the team going forward because he's gonna need to be
21:15
really good all year yeah he's gonna great yeah for them to get to the playoffs and and get where they want to
21:21
go he's got to be really good all year long he you know he can't have stretches where he's you know has an 850 save
21:28
percentage can't do it yeah uh so you know he he needs to he needs to be that
21:34
you know backbone back there um that you know they can rely on and you know
21:39
that's what their team should be built on is you know the crease Swan and the
21:45
defense so you it's it's a good sign that he was able to uh to win and and
21:52
make some big saves at at Big moments well it was it was uh going back to coil
21:58
he was 12 or he was 12 wins two losses on the faceof thought
22:04
85% he had two hits he had two blocks he had four shots he had the goal plus one
22:09
22 shifts played over he played 21 minutes which is a lot for him uh ptri
22:16
just 11 minutes uh tonight did get hit and dinged up there um he had one shot three
22:26
shots missed and he had a giveaway um no power play time no
22:32
obviously no short-handed time tonight uh the the fourth line played about you
22:39
know 10 to 12 minutes and like I said kind of who they are they combined for
22:45
five hits uh some block shots I mean they did what they needed to do and uh
22:51
and the defenseman I didn't see the defenseman um Carlo was back to 20 and a
22:57
half minutes had three blocks hampus three blocks makoy maoy three blocks
23:03
Peak three blocks so that's you know they had Jesus they had a [ __ ] ton of block Shots tonight they did and that
23:10
and that has a lot to do with those you know the end of the game there the third period where it seemed like Seattle had
23:17
a lot of chances and they were blocking a lot of shots in front of of swayan they had uh 27 block shots yeah I mean
23:25
and that goes to effort and you know compete and willing to sell out for the
23:30
team too I think that's you know that's why Philly beat them you know last week
23:36
Philly had 31 blocks in that game they were willing to sell out to to you know keep the puck out of their own net
23:41
that's how this team needs to play you know we we've kind of been beaten that to death but I mean that's what that's
23:47
what it needs to be they need to be willing to do that and they got a ton of blocks from forwards too which is great
23:53
I thought in the first period you know they Seattle had some attempts that the Bruins just got you know had really good
24:00
stick position and got got in front of shot so um you know that that was part
24:06
of the reason they didn't have a shot for 17 minutes is because the Bruins blocked some and and um you know got
24:12
good sticks in in passing lanes and so forth so you know the defensive um
24:17
awareness and and their responsibilities in the defensive Zone I thought in the first period their details were great
24:24
and as the game went on they kind of slid um which you don't love to see but again second game of a backto back maybe
24:31
you know a little fatigue there um you know and uh so you know a win is a win
24:38
is a win as our old uh JV basketball coach used to say yeah we didn't get many of them so he was probably uh
24:45
pounding that pounding that point home yeah um TB so we're get into the fan
24:50
comments t-boss 42 has been dying to put this comment in there brazer watched
24:57
2024 he has 11 goals I mean sorry he has four goals 11 goals until he gets his
25:02
shirt and uh yeah I mean look it I'll give all the shirts if he gets gives me
25:08
25 goals this year yeah I'll help the Bruins exponentially uh and he's you know he's
25:14
got good hands he can score you know he can score a goal and um he was in front
25:19
of the net the tip you know he's a big body big boy just got to get it there just got to get him there and the
25:26
defense has to be willing to shoot it I mean M away had seven shots all in the first two periods um you know he
25:33
was being aggressive shooting the puck they have to do that I think you know ly Holm has done that the rest of them
25:40
really haven't and um makoy did it tonight and you have to just get pucks through and and create some chances
25:46
there in front of the net Dan Maynard uh am I wrong in saying it used to be dangerous going empty net against
25:53
the Bruins this year we can't get a shot at an empty net at all a win is a win and that's true you know they do
25:59
struggle some with the empty net thing some of it is trying to get a guy a goal that's happened before with Marian
26:05
trying to get pasta goal or whatever like someone shoot the puck uh you know they had a couple of chances say beer
26:12
Rings the post from like 45 yeah and um you know but here's the thing they made
26:18
more attempts at it tonight I thought there was they made more of an attempt to try to get the empty Netter and the
26:24
Clincher so and I thought they played okay in that extra attacker sequence I
26:29
really did I mean I thought there wasn't much from Seattle it wasn't like this balls out like we're hoping no one
26:36
scores thing like it has been in the past so it was a better job five on six
26:42
I thought um and it was a great follow-up win uh tbas it was a great
26:48
shut out you know the shut out the follow-up win the coming back home backto back luckily Seattle had a back
26:55
toback in Ottawa so that helped and the um Bruins penalty kill also tonight uh
27:02
and over the weekend has been much better hopefully they've gotten that thing figured out too because that's you
27:08
know that's always been one of their bread and butter things that's always been a real strength for the Bruins is the penalty kill so you know they need
27:15
to get that thing figured out and it looks like maybe they've they've found some things there to uh to straighten it
27:20
out a little bit Yeah well have Conor try to dig dig into the pasta thing if there's any update on pasta I believe
27:28
said post game that the reason he did not play in the third period was a coach's
27:34
decision um but it look but it might be a coach's decision because he has like a
27:40
something a little bit of an injury that he's kind of um okay he's kind of trying
27:45
to fight through so is it so he wanted to probably go give it a go and yeah montg and Montgomery probably look we
27:52
have a two-goal lead like just rest he might have been they dressed extra guys in warm-ups because they weren't sure if
27:59
there was going to be some guys that were um able to go B may have been one
28:05
of those guys ptra could have been another one because I think I just think he's not right either yeah so I mean
28:11
there could there could have been some guys there that uh were a little ding- dot pasta if pasta was one of them you
28:17
know maybe that's why they kind of held him out precautionary reasons type of thing Montgomery said uh producer
28:22
Conor's putting up here Montgomery said no comment beyond that the coaching decision to not play him in the third so
28:29
if he does have an injury the the Bruins are trying to keep it uh close to the vest so that uh you know the other
28:35
league doesn't uh the rest of the league doesn't uh exploit that um he looked
28:41
like he was trying during the skate he looked like he was trying to maybe stretch stretch out a groin or like some kind of a lower body thing maybe so
28:48
hopefully it's nothing too serious um but uh little tender yeah I guess time I
28:55
guess time will tell he needs to hit the massage table you know get that Paragon working maybe the crabs can send a plane
29:01
and he can go over to Florida get on the massage table yeah um yeah that that so
29:07
hopefully he's okay obviously Jesus they need him but uh in Montgomery maybe he
29:12
learned from two years ago when he played injured guys and they lost the Series of Florida maybe he learned that
29:19
you know I'm gonna hold this guy out even though he's a superstar I'm gonna I'm gonna you know
29:24
maybe that's the first sign that he can tell a guy know you know what I mean how about that I was just gonna say you know
29:29
maybe that's a sign of him you know kind of learning and kind of saying look I'm the coach I can I can do what I want
29:35
yeah I'm gonna do this I'm gonna say no so yeah I mean though again more more uh
29:41
possible positives there that um he's kind of learning his lesson and and picking things up as he goes and and
29:48
maybe becoming a better coach for it hopefully he is Jeremy or from Georgia hello thanks for uh joining us uh today
29:56
on the post game Che diet great first and then just hanging on for de life in the second and third particularly the
30:02
third uh that is true and but again I think some of that is well some of that
30:09
is the fact that they just kind of didn't really attack as much they should have and the other part is Seattle has a
30:15
push because they just got shut out they they you know they they're gonna push and get a little desperate so I'm going
30:22
to chalk it up to a little bit of that and I'm also going to say that they got the goal tending to secure the win and
30:29
they and they I thought they played okay with the extra attacker so I'm going to use those as positives because we're all
30:35
sorts of positive Day on on the Lords day here in uh bendersville uh Shaz diet against a
30:42
better team not so sure they pull that one out and the better team thing is still a concern of us uh how they do
30:49
against better teams can they win can they beat the Carolinas and the floridas and the Rangers and those teams uh if
30:56
they can start doing that I'll feel 100% better right now I'm at like
31:02
75% yeah I I would agree with you I mean I say right now in the season they probably have they they have a c or or a
31:10
c you know c c minus C+ somewhere in there I don't know it's a tempered thing
31:16
there's a there's a there's a poll for producer Connor H how would you grade the Bruin season to this
31:23
point grade the uh grade the Bruin seasons so yeah so what do the what do
31:29
the fans think that's a poll you could throw up all right what do the fans think what what are the how to how how
31:35
would you grade the Bruins uh season up until this point yeah okay uh Aussie
31:43
Bruins says sway saves the day we just can't get the puck in the net and that's that's true that is true and when are
31:50
they signing Tyler Johnson Shaz diet says and that's an interesting thing I mean we still go forward here with Tyler
31:56
Johnson in the wings and do I'll tell you what Justin
32:03
brazo might determine the future of Tyler Johnson it's possible I would also
32:09
say though if some of these injuries to the likes of you know if David posano is
32:15
out for any length of time well that's the other thing right or if uh you know Matt patra's beat up a little bit or
32:22
some send down or want to send him down or dealing with some stuff you know that might be an opportunity to get Tyler
32:27
Johnson in here if some of these guys are are are starting to get some nagging injuries because you know we've both
32:32
said it the Bruins have been remarkably healthy so far this season remarkably yes so you know um
32:40
that's probably why Tyler Johnson hasn't signed yet to this point is because they have been and I think if somebody was
32:46
banged up and they had lost a guy you know he probably would be in here by now yeah Beth says uh wish we get
32:53
consistency and and I think it's important here in the next few games to see if the ruins can maintain this
32:59
consistency uh Swan was peppered in the last 15 minutes there uh for sure shots
33:05
in the third were 13 to two or something along those lines yeah they only had two or three yeah uh so that wasn't a great
33:12
end to it uh Jonesy says not worried about swayman if he could only provide
33:19
second line scoring death that would be even better yeah true I think he wants
33:25
he's a goalie that wants to be a power forward like he wants to go out fight people and hit and mix it up uh I have
33:32
no idea what kind of shot he has but maybe he is the answer Jones I tell you Corpus Salo took a swing at a guy L
33:38
yesterday right when the Bruins goes man a feisty and I like it love it feisty on
33:43
the back it's my crease yes it's my hell out of here I'll tell you what here's
33:48
that you mentioned the crease thing yeah there was one there was I think Seattle
33:54
was on the power play they were and Yanni Gordon is literally in the lap of
34:00
Jeremy Swan somehow he makes the Save Right Charlie McAvoy standing there like
34:05
and Yan Gord is just allowed to stand there literally in front as as the
34:12
[ __ ] face yeah I mean in the old NHL you give that guy a two-hander and you take him out of it yeah you can't do
34:19
that anymore yeah it's just amazing to me now that now the the whole defense in the league they're all taught to front
34:25
the guy you get in front of that guy and you try to block the shot so it doesn't get to him J it's an entirely different
34:31
way of of playing defense in the league and and honestly I hate it I wish you was back to you know get that guy the
34:37
hell out of there tie his sck up beat him cross check him punch in the face do
34:43
something and get him out of there because usually give him that you know that cross check like to the ass like
34:49
low yeah above the pants below the shoulder pads so he feels it right in the smaller back yeah yeah I'm with you
34:56
it just looks to see y standing there like just in front of him I don't know how he saw the I don't think he saw the
35:03
puck I think it hit him probably didn't position Jesus like wow like that's just ridiculous how do you feel about ptra in
35:09
the power play he struggled at the beginning of the year on the half ball wasn't great uh I don't know if he can
35:16
really bumper I don't know if he could shoot the puck as well as like a berser on like that's from a distance I don't
35:23
know if he can do that either so I don't know about but I think he his skill set
35:28
obviously could help in some fashion I think he is a power play to guy right
35:34
now and I think he is David Cree so he's half wall guy he's Distributing the puck
35:40
he's passing he's looking for seams go get him below the goal line yeah so that's to me where he is
35:48
and I think he needs to I think he just needs experience I think he needs to grow into the role on a power play one I
35:53
think I think he'll eventually be there I like the change on honestly they put Lind home in Maran spad on the half wall
36:01
and they move Maran down to the goal line I like that better I think that I think that help Marian I exactly I think
36:08
Marian can't turn the puck over right from the half wall if he's at the goal line and I think lindol Elias lindol I'm
36:15
talking about is making better passes from that area and it seems like the power play is moving the puck a little
36:22
bit better because of that so I like that small tweak that they made that's an adjustment ladies and gentlemen and I
36:28
enjoy it um and IO lives you know what I I noticed uh during the game today Chris
36:35
Kelly is still the co a coach on the Bruins yeah still yeah Chris coing the forwards Chris what's up buddy yeah Kels
36:42
good Kells good to see it yeah um yeah I I agree with it I thought the power play looked better I just thought it looked
36:47
like it had more purpose and it just looked like an NHL power play like it was just better yeah and I think they a
36:53
little they have a little more urgency to win back pucks when lose them like going into Corners to retrieve pucks
37:00
after a shot they're getting you know out Manning the the defense to to be able to win those battles they they just
37:08
the last two days they've won way more battles than they have at any point earlier in the season it feels like to
37:15
me yeah uh Beth says the first 20 minutes they played their best and that's correct they're they're starts to
37:21
games they're starting on time has been an issue and the last couple of games was very good like they came up with
37:27
purpose set the tone got on top uh and kept you know went from there uh telling
37:33
P pasta no ice time in the third might be one of the better choices of the Year Dan that's correct like I hope I hope we
37:39
see more of this from Monty where he just he's the coach and he makes the proper Common Sense decision especially
37:44
with injury and with his star players like being able to coach his star players and maybe we're seeing that
37:51
maybe screaming at Brad Martian kind of said you know what now I can do this I
37:56
can I can coach stars now maybe maybe that gained him some respect around the rest of the room could be yeah you know
38:03
if they're like he's gonna yell at Maran he's certainly gonna yell at me I make a mistake so maybe you know maybe he
38:10
needed that maybe the team needed to see that he could do that uh you know in
38:15
order to gain some respect and and and so forth so you know again you know hopefully it's a positive he learns from
38:22
it and and he becomes a better Coach because of it yeah Adrien thanks for
38:27
joining us uh it's the first season listening to us so very nice thank you very much uh the backstory did we grow
38:35
up together and how did this podcast pair come to be uh I'd love to tell you that there was some national survey that
38:41
put us together but but no yeah we were high school besties that uh have decided
38:47
to do some podcasting and have been Bruins fans for a hundred years passionate brunes fans yeah uh we used
38:53
to have an old podcast another podcast that was more of a comedy funny newsy
38:59
sports kind of pod yeah um there's still there's still episodes out there there's out there yeah yeah there's episodes out
39:06
there but then we decided to do Bruins because we've always kind of thought about doing it and it was uh this is our
39:12
fourth season Yeah so basically we we decided to do a podcast during the
39:19
pandemic was when it came about we were looking something to do to kind of pass the time uh mty's in Maine and I'm in
39:25
Massachusetts so um you know just thought it was a way to connect while we were you know quarantined and all that
39:31
[ __ ] so we did uh we did that other podcast and then we kind of transitioned into this Bruins one and and have been
39:38
uh doing this ever since and we really uh really love it and um you know
39:43
hopefully that comes through to everybody that we you know we enjoy talking about the bees and and hanging out we do we we're passionate we like to
39:50
we we think we're Fair too yeah for the most we're not 100% homers like we're
39:55
Fair yeah I me most are I'm I'm a homer more than you probably yeah probably yeah you get a little you get a little I
40:01
get a I get a little more fired up than you but that's you know that's they say sex cells you know what I mean that's
40:08
that's what happens well I think they've come to the wrong place if that's the case well yeah that'll be it'll be real
40:15
desperate if you start seeing sex on this thing uh then then we're near the end yeah only fans Happening Here Beth
40:21
likes a c minus or D+ and I that might be kind of true C minus c yeah why not
40:27
yeah I would say CC minus E yeah I would say so I mean they are 500 so I I would
40:32
say I guess that's average but you know if you throw in the other overtime loss that's a little below that so yeah I
40:38
think C minus is right in the ballpack yeah Shaz diet says they don't he doesn't want he likes the feistiness and
40:44
Swan has a propensity for it he doesn't want a benit situation yeah you don't want douchy you don't want you don't
40:49
want you don't want to get over the line step over the line but I think Swan right now Swan is just about right he
40:55
has a little bit of a smirk he'll he'll get into it with you but it's not cheap
41:01
it's not he doesn't initiate it it's usually for a good reason yeah I I don't
41:07
I I'm fine with the with it if he's gonna be the feisty competitor guy but
41:12
as long as it doesn't you know deter him from making saves as long as he's not stop starting to take penalties that's
41:18
the last thing this team needs is someone else taking more penalties they already have plenty of guys that are doing it so they don't need the goalie
41:25
to be doing it too so as long as he's just that you know feisty uh protecting
41:31
his crease kind of guy I'm I'm fine with it right sure uh Kelly and mcgomery handle the pp that's just what you want
41:37
as a career you know third liner fourth liner handling your power play so good
41:42
I'm glad that Kell's is a spearheading power play time where he's here no I
41:48
don't think so on the never done before in his life I don't I don't have just Montgomery do
41:54
it he was on a 42 and one colle team had 100 season
41:59
in something he did yeah I was illegal as hell but they did it yeah um Jeremy
42:05
says what do you think we could do to a draft pick or two Jeremy the picks this they'll have the first but not a second
42:12
or a fourth this year so that's something to keep an eye on trade deadline wise if they look to add to the
42:20
draft picks that they do not have and but they will have a first rounder depending on how they do I mean I still
42:27
think they'll make the playoffs so you're still in the 23-7 range I mean you're still down the
42:34
down the line in the first round so yeah um Shaz di love the PO love the Pod yeah
42:42
and love that you guys do these live game we we appreciate that Shaz and we uh we thought about it this year
42:49
actually from the playoffs last year because it went so well like Jesus you know we don't have much of a life we're
42:55
50 something years old like yeah I mean who gives a [ __ ] so uh we're going to try to do them all if we can or at least
43:02
the majority yeah I think I think they'll probably be some things getting away from time to time but we're gonna
43:07
try we're g to try to do them uh for every game uh yeah so yeah give you guys an outlet to vent or cheer or whatever
43:16
so yes yes uh David illey can vouch for us as friends for a long time because he
43:22
was there several times he was he was there as well back in the w walan
43:27
Massachusetts in the watch City yes sir people who uh understand
43:34
Massachusetts the walam watches yeah that's where we grew up walam uh neither one of us are there now
43:41
but uh but we grew up there go Hawks uh aie Bruins 37 Leaf just go down in OT
43:49
versus the wild bring on Tuesday so the Leafs lose the wild have been wild are very good yeah they they're really good
43:56
they have good forward group um their things obviously going to be goal tending going down you know coming down
44:02
the line here but I think uh the Wilder excellent I had them making a big run last year and I was wrong but I I might
44:09
have been a year too early for that um Chad says I'm not sure I want this team giving up a first round pick I don't
44:16
either I think they should keep it and I think they will keep their first rounder I think they're I think they're really
44:22
concerned about the prospect group I I think that's why they got into the first last year I don't think they're going to
44:28
do that again I think they're going to try to trade players uh to make a move if they can
44:34
and I'm with Smitty I think you're gonna see a very minor move I don't think you're gonna see a big one they just
44:40
they don't have enough Capital they don't have enough traffics they don't have enough uh cap space uh to make a
44:47
major move I think it's going to be a minor move for you know a complimentary
44:52
piece and and that's probably all you'll see and they'll just have to go with
44:58
what they have and and do the best they can with the roster that Sweeny built for them uh and and take it from there
45:04
uh by the way uh Massachusetts native and and friend of the podcast uh Matt baly wins it from Minnesota against
45:11
Toronto baly with the with the goal so there you go Baldi from Millis yes sir
45:17
uh Millis Mass yeah um yeah good baldi's great he's he's a really good player and
45:25
glad for his success uh Winnipeg Jets are a very strong team Beth correct Dan
