every single game and uh here we are another
1:19
episode and the Bruins uh may have found a little bit of a recipe here for uh
1:27
success and uh may have had a galvanizing win shall we
1:33
say hope so I hope so not so fast my friend
1:39
who yeah they've been kind of up and down yeah we we thought they had a
1:45
galvanizing win uh when they beat Toronto on the Saturday night sure sure
1:52
uh the 26th of October I know that because it was uh was lops Brewing night
1:57
yeah it was bar Down live at lops was uh and we thought that was a galvanizer
2:02
that was a win you could build off of sure and then it wasn't and then they went out and laid an egg they certainly
2:09
did egg to be honest yeah so I want them to see that I want to see
2:16
them string you know two three wins together before we start saying you know this is a win that's going to turn the
2:22
season around right settle settle settle down sure um rapid review was November 7th
2:32
versus the Calgary Flames a win four to three in overtime Bruins blow a 3-1 lead
2:38
yep uh then then dig out of it get an O overtime goal from Brad Martian to win
2:44
it uh that was you know that was that was at the
2:50
time kind of saving Jim Montgomery's you know nut sack sure
2:55
because he he was on the he was on The Cutting Board and great to be chopped
3:00
alive and and the Bruins pull it out and I'll tell you what you talk about lives
3:07
and Jim Margery has had several lives maybe not nine but it's getting there
3:13
four five six I mean every single time you think that he's about one more loss
3:19
or one more bad outing away the Bruins you know Live to play another day and
3:26
and so does he so um I just want wonder how long that goes before there's any
3:33
type of security in his job for the rest of the year yeah I don't know I I it
3:40
it's it's kind I feel like it's up in the air I I think it goes with how they play as if as long as they're a 500 team
3:48
and kind of bounce around the middle and and can't string any wins together and
3:53
still have some bad losses or they where they look uninspired or the star players
3:59
don't come to play I think you're going to you're going to have that with Monty he's going to have um you know questions
4:06
about whether he should be here or or get extended and and those questions I
4:12
don't think will be answered um you know until either the Bruins go on a massive
4:18
losing streak or a massive winning streak and even then uh I'm not sure
4:24
exactly what the what the upper management is thinking because it should already be done one way or the other
4:32
yeah uh two days later Ottawa Senators at home Bruins lose three to2 in overtime no shots in the third period of
4:40
a two to2 game Brady kachuck wins it best player on the ice by far in the
4:45
Bruins lose uh a game just after you know another I guess half galvanizing win
4:52
over the flames and it looks like that they're they're starting to gain some resiliency and win you know pull some
4:57
games out and then they L to the centors in overtime but they get a point and you
5:04
know as has been the case five of the last six games Bruins have gotten points
5:10
uh in this case they just have a terrible third period at home and had
5:15
every opportunity to win the game do not get a shot on net for not only 20
5:21
minutes but a good 30 minutes of no shots on net and it was just uh you know
5:27
kind of a microcosm of what team's issues are I think so and didn't the didn't
5:35
Brady tochu have 12 shots 12 shots on N hit yeah and they had 16 yeah so he
5:42
almost outshot the Bruins single-handedly wns it wins it in OT yeah um you know you've made it no
5:50
secret that he is your man crush he Brady kachuk is the guy I would get and
5:56
we'll talk about it later because someone asked us in the mail B bag on X yeah uh who we would trade and who we
6:03
would seek yeah we we're not you know the Bruins aren't going to get Brady kchu but he is the guy I think if every
6:10
guy in the league if I could pick that would be the
6:15
guy yeah I'm kind of with you I I think he would be a a culture Setter and a and
6:22
a and a Bruin's culture set that's the type of guy this town loves that the you
6:29
know that Bruins the big bad Bruins and all that [ __ ] was based on was founded on
6:35
it's that type of guy a power forward a Cam Neely type that will score and hit
6:40
and fight and and kind of set the tone for the entire team so I'm I'm in with
6:47
you I'm I'm telling you right now I'm calling it right now Brady kachuk is the
6:52
difference between the Senators and Bruins making the playoffs Brady kachuk
6:57
drags the Senator's carcass over the line and gets him to the playoffs I I said earlier already that I
7:04
thought OT was gonna was gonna sneak in before over the Bruins so I'm on record
7:10
as as with you on that one yeah now I mean maybe Tampa Bay doesn't make it or whatever but but Ottawa makes it uh and
7:19
if whe whether it's Ottawa and Boston I don't know but Ottawa makes it ottaa finishes better than Boston at the end
7:25
of the year I'm saying it now um and then 1112 versus the blues
7:31
Bruins down two to nothing actually I thought playing okay like playing hard like trying their best yeah little
7:38
little engine they could but they couldn't and it was two to nothing through two periods and I thought to
7:44
myself I mean to the point where it put me to sleep that I thought that they weren't going to win the game and here
7:52
we are the Bruins Morgan geeky of all people Geeks Who ends up on the top line
7:57
after scratch three games in a Rose for some unknown reason I'll tell
8:03
you cuz Monty doesn't change lines very much does he he doesn't I mean he never does it but he did it he had a played a
8:10
hunch this time and uh and geek scores
8:16
and then Charlie makoy scores on a on a shot where he actually shoots the puck hard on a
8:23
ontimer which doesn't happen very often no uh and then David posar with the with
8:28
the winner and your leaders kind of stepped up it was the type of win they've had in the past and hadn't had
8:35
to this point really this year I mean Marian has done it a couple of times but makab boy and Pono were the two two uh
8:43
two of two of the players that really spearheaded that and you know and the Bruins get a a really big win and makoy
8:51
talked about it being you know the type of win that you can really you know get
8:56
some momentum from and kind of change landscape well Jesus you're running into
9:01
Dallas Stars without hampus lolm right so that might change that whole mindset
9:06
right away but you know it was the type of win that we've been kind of waiting for from them it it was uh and that's we
9:16
I mean we've been asking for it for 15 games now for the stars to show up uh
9:22
and they finally did and you know good on them uh now we need to see it
9:27
consistently that's that's the next step you know if you're going to be a playoff team you got to show up consistently and
9:34
and and make a difference in the game be impact the game in a positive way uh so
9:40
you know we'll see Dallas is a that's a tough ask for for anyone never mind a a
9:46
team that's somewhat fragile and still having problems on specialty teams and
9:52
you know has some defensive coverage issues like Dallas will put it on you if you're not careful so um you know that
9:59
it's going to be a tough one going down there on uh on Thursday night and trying to get a win they sure will Bruins are
10:06
87 and two 18 points two points behind Toronto who's tied with Washington right
10:11
now three to three in the third uh if Toronto that does not get a point
10:17
tonight then the Bruins have an opportunity to tie for second place with a believe it or not with a win over
10:24
Dallas uh Thursday night so we will see what happens there seven chirps is

10:47
one if yonas Corp pasalo continues his hot play good play should the Bruins be
10:54
looking to move him at the deadline to a goalie needy playoff team
10:59
I say yes okay because I I just feel
11:05
like you know you have what two or three more years at at three mil like I feel
11:12
like that's a little bit of cap savings there that you could that you could grab um he's been
11:20
goodish um you know some not so good some very good so goodish is in the
11:26
middle of that I would say um it's seems like goalie Bob has done some things to
11:32
fix him here when he had kind of a 10-day break there where he wasn't
11:37
playing and they kind of went back in and and um you know tightened some things up with his game and I think he's
11:43
been better since then um but he's still a backup goalie and I don't know if you want to pay $3 million a year for a
11:49
backup goalie um so if you can get something decent in return for that I'm
11:57
all for it I'm all for it if you can get get a you know a second round pick or a
12:03
couple of prospects that are decent um you know I would I would do
12:08
that I would do it I I just I I yes I I I want to I just you
12:18
know the the problem is I mean Michael D petro and Brandon busy Brandon mus busy
12:24
is kind of falling off the map here I don't I don't he's not what we what people thought he was I don't think and
12:32
uh the shine's really worn off of him and then Michael D Petro's been been pretty good for the last you know most
12:40
of last season and now into this season he's been pretty good um he has a
12:45
one70 goes against in a 936 save percentage seven seven games this year I
12:52
mean he's been really good so if D Petro can do that can be the backup and
12:58
continue to do what he's doing now at least or at least somewhat of that then
13:04
yeah then I then I probably make a make a go at trying to get something for corpas solo but if if you really have
13:11
some instability in Providence I just think it's real risky I don't know I'd have to see if
13:17
the D Petro can do it and if he can that that's great I mean if you can get a pick second round if you can get a
13:24
second round pick for yis Corpus solo and you can save that money on the books
13:29
I mean that could be that could be the difference between making a move in the deadline and not like you could you
13:35
could potentially get somebody if you can do that the only caveat is that you got a backup goalie Who's has no NHL
13:44
experience and you know we talked about the San thing about when he gets to the
13:49
end of the regular season you know will he be worn out you know if you really
13:55
want to play him 65 games that's a that's a big risk I don't know so
14:00
believe me I I I want to get that off the books I want to get something for cor pasalo if he can and if someone's
14:07
gonna give you a second round pick I think I do it anyway and just figure it out like that's that's selling high on
14:14
Corpus solo yeah I I mean I want to do it do I think they will absolutely not
14:19
there's no chance there's no chance they they trade him I I don't think there's any chance in hell that they trade him
14:25
right um because again you know they they don't want to go in with uh an unproven backup for for whatever reason
14:33
they you know no they like the the goalie tandem they like the security of two goalies they love that thing you
14:40
know they always will and I mean it's you know to their credit it seemed to
14:46
have worked you know for the most part um for them so you know I could see why
14:53
they would stick with it uh so I I I I I lean towards getting rid of
15:00
copas solo I just don't I just don't think that's in the cards you don't think that's happening uh just to get
15:06
update you on Brandon busy five games 4.09 goals against 860 sa percentage so
15:14
that's that's the end I think that's the end of that thing he's 26 years old he's not like he's 22 yeah and that's it last
15:22
year was a down year for him as well so it's been going now where he's kind of
15:29
lost it he has he has and you know DPO was the third round pick I just looked
15:34
it up third round pick of Vancouver 64 overall in 2017 yeah he's a legitimate
15:40
Prospect he's I mean he's 25 so it's not like he's any spring chicken either no
15:45
um but you know that he he is a legitimate Prospect so you know goalies
15:51
sometimes take a little longer like defense develop so um you know that might be might be someone that uh you
15:59
know you could have around here for a bit I mean can you imagine if you got you got your backup golender for a couple years from Jack to Nika can you
16:06
imagine that that's a pretty good trade that's a sneaky good trade it is that you get a backup goldener out of it that
16:12
you got a bag of donuts out of it like you know whatever I mean but they drafted Jack sta dude they did second
16:19
round was it second round yeah yeah so I mean [ __ ] that was bad yeah yeah so like
16:24
it's nice that you moved on from a from him bad pick and B something valuable he
16:31
was your number one Prospect at one point yeah you moved on from him and got
16:37
something good for him is is nice but you picked that guy in the first place you screwed it up in the first place
16:44
yeah you Pi that guy in the first place so I mean it's it's a nice trade but again let's not let's like settle down a
16:51
little bit because yeah you know you you put yourself in the in the position to
16:57
have to try to unload that guy for something to begin with because he's terrible right yeah one thing I didn't
17:04
have on the bingo card tonight was analyzing J like nic's draft potential but uh hey let's let's do
17:11
let's go with it anyway yeah let's do it said Nic was uh what was he second round
17:18
so he was I think that was 2017 that was the same year as dpet D
17:24
Petro was 64th overall yeah uh stn was 53rd so was 11 picks after stanika right
17:32
after stanika was uh uko peka lukanin gender for the Sabers yeah uh GIC who's
17:40
playing Jonah G jovic is playing with Florida Panthers I believe in the fourth line Ian Mitchell was
17:47
57 um there was Fabian zunder Z zerand who's playing right now in the NHL that
17:54
was San Jose yeah Morgan geeki was three picks behind D
18:00
Petro um so I mean there wasn't any like PE go kovich was
18:06
74 um Stuart Skinner so you know there wasn't anyone really uh uh actually
18:13
Danielle teras off with Columbus but no one like off the charts great but you
18:21
know at one point St Nika was your number one Pro Prospect in the entire organization I mean it just shows how
18:28
bad the Prospect pool that was that was bad that was bad chirp to David panak
18:34
tells the Czech media that he was injured and couldn't work out for a month and a half or so during
18:39
summer uh delayed his training then says it was taken out of context some he was
18:45
just kind of talking about what uh kind of what his summer looked like he says I
18:50
was injured for a month and a half over the summer the problem was mainly mentally because in the summer I usually
18:55
prepare for the season I have never been injured for so long and mentally it's difficult when you can't do
19:00
anything during this phase for a month and a half but I feel better and better with each match so yeah I
19:08
mean this is what we talked about like we've been hammering Jim Montgomery about the preseason thing yeah and not
19:15
playing guys together and kind of sitting your veterans Coyle didn't play for five games and hok and Martian but
19:22
it seems to be that whether it was wedding season or if it was getting
19:27
injured in tourn tournaments or having Rec you know having surgeries like like
19:33
Martian did guys were delayed in their training and delayed and trying to get
19:39
ready for the season Elias lolm was dinged up some so four four this like your top four forwards really that are
19:46
all danged up and um and that's that can lead to a slow start too certainly yeah
19:54
I we talked about it a little bit on the postgame live last night that um maybe it's not Montgomery's fault after all
20:01
that you know their conditioning wasn't great in training camp and it you know the training camp was managed in a way
20:08
that he needed to manage it because you know all these guys were a little hurt a
20:13
little injured and you was trying to kind of ease them back in and they used
20:19
you know the month of October instead of training camp they used the season uh as their preseason and and you
20:27
know of kind of getting them up to speed uh we'll see if that works or not I don't know um but it seems to be that
20:35
they took that kind of approach you know some of the players have mentioned it that you don't win anything in October
20:42
and and so it seems like they were kind of just kind of easing themselves into
20:48
the season in October getting some of those guys that were dinged up back up the speed and then November hit and you
20:56
know they're four1 and one um so you know maybe that was the plan all
21:02
along uh if it is I guess kudos to them yeah I think we're giv a lot of credit
21:08
but yeah okay I know I know but I mean we were beating the hell out of them and it seems like you know maybe it wasn't
21:15
really his fault maybe maybe it wasn't and maybe that's kind of how they had to do it
21:20
because guys just weren't ready to go and that would uh I mean it all sort of
21:26
leads up to that and maybe that is true and maybe Montgomery was just working with what he had and that was just kind
21:33
of it I think there's still some other issues with it oh yeah like the system and the players and if they fit and
21:38
those things are real oh yeah but uh but this is but this is another thing that
21:43
we should probably consider for a hot second and then and then Hammer him again yeah I mean that's that's what it
21:50
to that's what we do uh chirp number three mdy Patra sent to AHL Providence Bruins we've been kind of
21:58
talking about this for a bit Sweeny must be listening to the program because he finally gave in swe and said uh Sween
22:05
says let's send ptra down some of the advanced analytics have Patra as one of the top performing forwards in some of
22:12
those stats uh but there was some times where he was getting knocked around some
22:18
I did think his game was stalling out a bit and I really think that he you know
22:24
he had to play last year due to the the Bruins just need needing a center like
22:29
needing another forward because they were short-handed and now again this year needing needing him more than he
22:38
needed them and now it's time I think and the right thing to do is to send him
22:44
down and getting getting him some time and also he can play with guys like lysel and merkulov and and hopefully
22:52
guys who have a future with the Bruins and not a couple of 31y old forwards who have no future in the
22:59
NHL yeah I'm with you I I think it's a good thing overall that he gets sent down I think it's probably good for his
23:06
development to go down there and play you know 18 to 20 minutes a night playing all situations yeah um I did
23:12
think his game was kind of stalling out um I I I mean I see the advanced
23:18
analytics but you know if you're watching them play it that's I I don't
23:24
see those uh the analytics kind of coming to fruition you know when you
23:30
actually watch the games I think maybe some of that was from a little bit earlier on in the season I feel like the
23:36
last handful of games he hasn't been as good um he's leaving him self open to
23:41
some big hits he took he's taken a few big hits one especially behind the net I remember um you know where I think
23:48
Freddy came in to to uh you know help him out but um it it's it it seems to me
23:57
that um he earned the play on the you know to make
24:03
the team last year earn he did in training camp uh and then it was whether
24:09
you know he plays 10 games and goes back to Junior or stays up and they needed him to stay up and he he earned it he
24:15
was he was pretty good last year in those 10 games yeah um but now like you
24:21
said I feel like it's time that he that he goes down and and kind of gets his
24:26
confidence back plays in all situations plays with like you said hopefully lysel
24:33
marula some guys that he could develop some chemistry with uh that you know
24:38
hopefully all of them have a future on the Bruins hopefully and hopefully they play him with the guys that he could
24:45
potentially play with on the team like for God's sakes like play play them you
24:51
know don't play Ry and don't play them with guys that have no future with the
24:57
Bruins sense me but I bet you it's gonna be like um you know Matt ptra Max Jones
25:04
and yeah and you know Vinny latier or whatever his name
25:12
is venzo uh all right chirp four since the
25:18
start of the 2023 24 season a Bruins power play featuring maab boy ponak and
25:23
marand have scored 28 goals over a 276 minutes and 57 seconds of ice time when
25:31
you swap in hampus linol for maoy eight Power Play Goals in just 21 minutes and
25:39
52 seconds of ice time so they put him on the top unit do they do uh with
25:46
hampus LOL they put him on the top unit finally and he gets hurt and he's out for weeks so but I will say this though
25:54
this was uh a telling stat and it also matches what your eyeballs see folks is
26:01
that hampus lolm honestly one of the better players
26:06
consistently this season on the team on the entire team is Ben hampus lolm
26:11
especially what he's been able to do offensively he's taken the puck hard to the net on a few occasions scored goals
26:19
you know set up goals I mean he's playing the way he played when he got
26:24
here again and he should be that that power play quarterback when he comes
26:30
back and then have makoy on the power play too and that's fine whatever but
26:37
these this is the stat here that I mean that's no joke I mean that lolm can lolm
26:42
can play offense and let him do it I agree I I I mean I I've said it all
26:49
along it's if you need to uh if you're going to switch up the regular lines why
26:55
haven't you switched up the power play if the power play is not working you know you you swi the regular lines like
27:03
it's nobody's [ __ ] business sorry John I mean they're all place you know
27:08
with those things but the power play you just leave alone and be like Oh players
27:13
we'll figure it out it's 100% catering to the veterans it's 100% not going to
27:19
Charlie and being too nervous to say Charlie we got to take you off the power play one you know it's just it's just
27:26
letting it's just living and dying with the veterans the like the top guys on the team it's just living and dying with
27:33
them and not having the balls to say you know what Charlie our power play is not good at all in fast fact it's last in
27:40
the league with you as the quarterback last in the league so we have to do
27:45
something else and that's what it is that's what it is just not having a konus to go up to him and say you know
27:51
what it's time to make a change there he finally does you know 17 games into the
27:56
season uh you know and now now hampus L home is hurt so guess who's back at it it's
28:02
makoy for the next four to six weeks or whatever it is that hampus is out yeah uh so you know hey um if tell you what
28:11
if I'm if I'm him if I'm Montgomery I I go up to makoy and say now's your chance
28:18
Bud like you you know you you wanted it we were going to take you off of it he
28:23
got hurt you're back on it now like prove it should be your spot MH you know
28:29
he won't do that because like you said I don't think he has the ball Su but like he should he should challenge him like
28:35
prove it's your spot like if you want that spot now if you want to keep it do
28:41
something with it in the next four to six weeks like it's your you know earn it yeah we'll see a couple of chirps
28:49
from now I'm gonna analyze a little a little it wasn't an exchange between the
28:54
two but comments that the two had and I'm gonna over analyze the hell out of
29:00
it all right let's Ma Bo zud
29:05
film I am I am I'm gonna pick apart into the left I'm gonna take my tweezers and
29:13
Hammer at it you're gonna get into the minutia I am I am because I'm that type of guy I love it chir five is it time to
29:23
either fire or extend Jim Montgomery so here's the thing after Dallas they play a run of teams who aren't very good they
29:30
could potentially win you know seven of eight or something I mean they they are better than they will be favored in
29:37
every game for about two and a half weeks after the Dallas game so my thing
29:43
is if they if they go let's say they go seven and two S2 and0 or something
29:48
eight1 and one or something in that stretch don't you just extend him and
29:55
get that thing off your back like just get it off your back back extend him for one year or whatever it is and just get
30:01
him off your get it off your back like say this is our guy and this is what we're going with and you can't use the
30:07
excuse of because I just feel like it's in the back of people's heads I feel like it's a crutch I feel like it's even
30:14
if the players don't don't say it or don't feel it or still you know they still come you know come from behind win
30:21
at St Louis like I I don't think they're giving up on their coach but it's still that thing that can happen that can be
30:28
the scapegoat and I just think that at some point you know just maybe just extend
30:36
them if if if they're able to be say close to first place by
30:42
Christmas like don't you just eliminate that whole thing I think you have to and
30:49
the we've talked about the lame duck thing like it's out it's out there that's a thing like yes it is yes it is
30:55
players will use as an excuse or you know use it sub consciously it's there
31:03
yeah it's always gonna be there so I agree you know [ __ ] or get off the pot
31:09
sorry John it's time like yeah if they go on a on a big winning streak here
31:15
after Dall after the Dallas game I think you do I think you extend him and just say look you know he's our guy now and
31:22
you guys need to fall in line yeah or if they falter after Dallas then I think
31:30
that's the time to make a change when you have some lesser teams and and you
31:35
can bring somebody else in and maybe catch a spark and and build off of that thing but you know you need to make a
31:42
decision like I I don't know why they didn't make the decision earlier I think they they just like sitting on decisions
31:49
and like Heming and haing and and having meetings and you have 30 guys in the
31:54
room and everybody's giving their opinion and and you know nothing gets done because everybody's just like oh
32:01
you know we you know some guys want them some guys don't you know they're just there's too many
32:09
voices I think between neie and Sweeney and then you know you got some other guys up there that are probably talking
32:17
and giving their opinions too I just feel like you know you need to make a
32:23
decision and live with it you do the other you do and I and I think that you
32:28
know similar to the Red Sox with Alex cor like they finally just extended them out of the blue and you know it didn't
32:35
do much for the Red Sox because they AR that good but you know for the Bruins it might it might do something it might at
32:41
least push them through and get them on a run or I think it's a good point about
32:46
the timing of it if you do let him go let him go where the ne next coach comes in and might win five in a row yeah and
32:54
you know the team's playing better the team gets a little bit of a lift they win five in a row and it's off to a good
33:00
start it's a good feeling and maybe you save some of the Season or all of the Season by yeah you get a little juice
33:06
from the coaching move and a little juice from a win streak and now all of a sudden you got a little juice now you
33:11
get a little juice and maybe you know maybe you maybe you you can end up doing something with that so yeah yeah I mean
33:18
I think and and it would work the same way is if you had a little winning streak and and you extend Montgomery
33:26
maybe you get a little juice off that like everybody's like all right he's our guy we're in you know we're winning some
33:32
games now everybody's feeling good you know mon Monty can relax a little bit finally yeah and and then maybe you get
33:40
a little juice from that so I think it can work either way but but again you got to make up your mind and then live
33:47
with it you do you do and they Don Sweeny has a hard time with with you
33:54
know taking calculated risks like just everything's got to be kind of you know
33:59
drawn out and you know just make a decision like I don't understand I just
34:06
don't understand how we got here with this either you want the guy or you don't right like I don't I don't what
34:11
what is the guy gonna do like really he has to win the cup to get extended like why even do it then just fire him
34:17
because you're not gonna win the cup right just fire him then like what what what can he do to get an extension at
34:25
the end of the season and to me it's probably at least get to the Eastern Conference Final yeah I was going to say
34:31
Eastern Conference Final Eastern Conference Finals he he gets extended so that's what we're doing that's that's
34:37
what we're gonna wait for I mean that's you know man yeah it's a big ask it really is I mean it really is especially
34:44
after you gave him a an unfinished roster according to you according to you right so you gave him an unfinished
34:50
roster you gave him no extension and then you will say okay go go to the Eastern Conference fin confence
34:58
yeah that's that's like really so I if I'm Mont gy I'm no wonder he seems
35:03
agitated and irritated yeah all the time I would be too I would be too I would be too I'd say I'm 80 games over 500 and
35:11
you know as a coach here and yeah I mean I blew the I blew the first round the first time but we got to the second
35:17
round the next time I mean so so so honestly we're trending upward and then
35:22
you know now I got this rag tag bunch and we're we're eight S and two we're
35:28
you know we're squeezing everything we can out of it and we're hanging in yeah you know now he goes and wins seven of
35:34
eight and then you know really I mean we're gonna continue to do this I just I
35:40
don't know it seems to be a losing battle H it seems to be all right SHP six Jim Montgomery said if you could
35:45
shoot the puck like maoy can why wouldn't you shoot it all the time so I'm listening to this and I'm like wow
35:53
that's to me again there's been subtle little things that Montgomery's brought
35:58
up to the media that you know he's been saying to the team over and over again so that so that all of a sudden he's
36:05
going to say it to the media because he he can't get through the team so he's saying it out loud to the media because
36:12
he said it a million times so this is another case now when they said it to
36:19
makoy he didn't have any kind of reaction on his face I thought he would do like a yeah nope he he' just stared
36:28
at the reporter and then just kind of changed not changed the subject but just
36:33
kind of didn't take the bait on it so I don't know if I don't know why makoy
36:40
doesn't shoot more I think I do I think he doesn't because he thinks the other players like Marian and ponak should
36:49
should get the opportunities before him I think there's a little bit of arru
36:54
whatever with the veterans on the team from makoy too much too much of it I
37:01
think makoy should be like at least have the mindset like a kale Mar like I am at
37:08
their level two and I should shoot the puck a ton and you know I should take it
37:14
on the rush and I should do all the things I need to do to help the team win for whatever reason he just won't do it
37:22
all the time he does not have the self-confidence
37:27
and he defers 100% yes I I mean I I honestly think that's what it is I think
37:33
you're right I think he tries to get the puck to those guys to a detriment um
37:39
where he does have an unbelievable shot I mean you've seen some goals he scored in overtime like a tow drag like wrist
37:48
shot say goalie scored the other night was a missile like he has a great shot
37:55
and I'm with Montgomery I wish he used it more um but there is something in him
38:03
that he just doesn't think he's at their level and he and and he needs to he
38:09
needs to be like I'm the man I am the man but he doesn't he's like David Poo's
38:16
the man Brad maran's the captain I'm a guy in the leadership group you're not
38:22
him back and told back you're you're not just a guy you're the guy
38:28
on the back end like take ownership of that take um you know have that build your
38:36
confidence have that build you up you know you need to be Chucky bright lights not just Charlie McAvoy you need to be
38:43
you know you need to take ownership of the fact that you're a stud defenseman
38:49
that's you you you know that what that's what we need him to be so yeah to me it
38:55
should be it should be like K suban on the power play like just hammer it every time a lane like every time just hammer
39:03
it just let it fly and if that happens then poshak might be open on the left
39:09
side a little more Martian might be open on the half wall a little more because they got to on you like but they don't
39:15
have to they literally don't pay attention to you on the power play that's why it's last in the league
39:20
Charlie that's why hampus lol's doing it now so if that was me I'd be like screw
39:26
that I don't lol's not gonna take that spot that's my spot and I would listen to the coaches that tell you to shoot
39:32
the puck and I would do it like I don't get it like I just I'll never get it and
39:37
I don't get it why he just doesn't do it more like just do it more you need if
39:42
you want to win a Norris Trophy Charlie you've got to get 60 70 80 points you've
39:48
got to be it's about points more than anything else oh yeah it's about it's
39:53
about you know your offensive ability even though it's a top defenseman it's
39:59
really the top offensive defenseman like it's just you've got to you've got to in
40:04
order to win the Norris you have to do that and you will never win the Norris Trophy if you have 50 points a year and
40:12
don't do what you need to do offensively so and the team needs it their forward
40:17
group is weak like they need it from you more than ever so I don't I don't know
40:23
how else you could just get it through his head that he needs to be that
40:28
uh chirp seven sedan oara and tarasque are first year eligible for the Hall of
40:34
Fame next year do you D do you think both get
40:39
in yes okay I I like I like Ras to look I
40:45
think Ras is the best goalie they've ever had on in the history of the franchise and I think he get I think he should be in um you know goalies have a
40:53
harder time getting in for whatever reason uh but think if anybody is deserving it's tuar rasque ch is
41:01
definitely in 100% in but tuar Ras should be in so both of them should go
41:07
and I'll tell you this both of the numbers should go up in the rafters too 100% I'm with you every single step
41:15
of the way I think both of them should be in the Hall of Fame I think both of them should be in the rappers at the Garden um yeah I I and I honestly I
41:24
don't even think it's that hard a decision I don't think so either I mean I think maybe
41:30
Tuka it may take him a little bit to to get into the Hall of Fame I think he'll
41:36
get in I don't know if he'll get in in year one right um but I think he'll get
41:41
in um but the the being in the rafters of the gardens a no-brainer to me yeah
41:47
308 wins 165 losses 52 shutouts his
41:54
career career goes against is 228 and his save percentage is
42:01
921 career he has a vzna has two Allstars he has a Jennings like I mean yeah the playoffs
42:11
and people say well he he didn't win and he didn't you know he you know he was
42:16
the reason why they didn't win and all this other nonsense well I'll tell you what in the playoffs his numbers are
42:23
better than you than they than you think they are um he's at A
42:28
222 goals against and a 925 save percentage his career in the
42:35
playoffs so his numbers are actually slightly better in the playoffs than in
42:40
the regular season so I think Tuk is in I mean he's the best goalie you've ever had on your franchise embrace it get
42:48
behind it I I you know I don't get it like get into your Romanticism and your
42:54
as the years go by you start to you know think of the guy more fondly get into that mode right now the guy deserves to
43:01
be in the hall throw on a metallic album and chug a [ __ ] couple drinks shut your
43:07
mouth and shut your mouth and just and just just embrace it just embrace it
43:14
he's the best go you've ever had in your franchise Enter Sandman wave over you and just throw down five or 10 long
43:21
drinks things are [ __ ] Delicious By the way I mean the long drink just just that alone I mean that's that's a that
43:27
just that alone you should be first ballot all the time get in you know yes get in get in with him so yeah so Tuka
43:35

46:55
pizza P Meat Lovers boom doino I can go pepperoni pepperoni and mushroom either
47:03

47:08
better and then Papa John's It Whatever cheese pizza pepperoni pizza all their
47:15
pizzas throw them on the ground you might as well buy a frozen ilo's pizza it tastes better than that [ __ ] yeah you
47:22
know what you know what you mention ilo's Pizza yeah I'm out here in the Midwest you can find elos pizza anywhere
47:28
and that's like I elos was my go-to as a kid like I my my mother would get elos
47:34
elos go long rectangles or this is another pizza that is much better than a
47:39
Papa John's Pizza a Celeste pizza for one is yes those are good those meat
47:44
lovers Celeste is dynamite Celeste pizza for one is 100% better than a Papa joh
47:50
Pizza 100% I'll tell you what should have been on there and I know it's you're a Midwest guy now Connor but
47:57
papaginos is for me the best the best uh
48:02
takeout you know fast food pizza yeah I I love papaginos that's pretty high up
48:09
there too but one of the comparables to that is probably sabaro which is like
48:14
one a dinosaur these days since every cafeteria in America good thing about sabaro is that they have those specialty
48:21
pizzas like even for a fast food place you can get some weird [ __ ] you can get some chicken broccoli and ziti and all
48:27
sabaro is like a mall pizza or an airport Pizza it's a rest area yeah yeah
48:32
Mall Pizza airport rest area but yeah you know not bad Pizza baby it's Pizza
48:39
baby yeah yeah other than Papa John's except for FAA John's fa John's isn't
48:45
Pizza no that's some odd dough is what it is for sure so that's a good that's a
48:51
good little game of star I look forward to next week I really do um all right
48:57
mailbag we had I I I put a little post on X and uh asked people what they
49:02
wanted to hear about and we had a couple first Duffy uh at one and only Duffy says
49:10
possible trade targets and who would you move for them and we've talked about this I'm all about moving Trent
49:16
Frederick am and Morgan geeky if you can if he gets hot here then I I I sell high
49:23
on him if he gets hot uh but Trent Frederick's the guy I dangle right
49:29
now um trade targets I mean I have to look at some of the teams who aren't
49:35
very good and who they have on their teams I wouldn't mind like a I don't know if you do this in you know for who
49:40
they are but like a Josh Anderson from the can Canadians or someone um you know
49:46
one of the Lesser teams that you can just kind of pick off and um and go with
49:52
it's going to have to be a a minor move type of guy you know if you can move Max Jones if
50:00
you can move geeky you know yeah that those guys
50:05
probably won't get you much the Frederick thing I've mentioned it before my trade proposal for Trent Frederick is
50:12
to La for Alex turot yeah um so you're swapping uh a first round pick for a
50:19
high first round pick in Alex turot who hasn't really um blossomed yet in LA but
50:26
is still uh is a center as offensive upside and that's a guy that I would take a chance
50:32
on and see if you know you brought him here uh if you know he could develop
50:37
here maybe and uh so that would be a chance that I'd be willing to take you trade Freddy for a guy uh who was a top
50:45
of the first round draft pick who you know may or may not become anything but
50:50
that's a chance I'd be willing to take on a guy like turot how about how about a guy that's been linked to the Bruins
50:59
before uh maybe even a couple of times how about Jordan Everly of Seattle
51:05
Kraken yeah I'd be in on that yeah I think he brings some speed six goals um you
51:12
know can score goals so yeah I would I would be I would be interested in that
51:17
look I'm not gonna sugarcoat this I'd be interested in anybody that can score goals right now right yeah sure it
51:23
doesn't doesn't particularly matter who it is um yeah any give me anybody that
51:29
can score goals at this point in time right you also mentioned Yanni gour same team
51:35
Kraken uh and gourd was a guy who who was really good with Tampa Bay on those good teams he was he played with poot
51:42
and that was that good third line they had with good goodro was in there
51:48
they G yeah was there made difference yeah he really made a difference then
51:54
you know there was a year he had 25 goals for Tampa um you know nowadays he's not as
52:00
much of a goal scorer he hasn't scored yet this year but you know maybe his pedigree and and he's they've been kind
52:07
of uh rumored to be sending him off he's a he can play center he can play Wing
52:14
that's another guy who has a grit element that I think would be good for the
52:19
Bruins um but he also has some speed he's not the biggest guy but he has some
52:25
speed and he's gritty so um I think that's those are elements that I think
52:31
the Bruins will need come playoff time you know being big and slowish isn't necessarily
52:38
going to help you I think when when the speed of the game ramps up come playoff time if the Bruins are fortunate enough
52:44
to get there yeah for sure all right another uh from Boston Sports guy BS guy
52:51
33 on track for 30 points is Charlie makoy and 100 Pim this year plus minus
52:58
is also trending downward his playoff plus minus has been trending downward
53:05
not the kind of play you expect from someone you pay9 a half million dollars per year for uh he you know CH has three
53:13
goals three assists he is trending at about 30 points or so 30 35 points 29
53:19
Points honestly yeah he's projected for 14 goals 14 assists 29 Points uh Plus five
53:27
the 14 goals would be a career high yeah um but you know 14 assists uh would not
53:34
be anywhere close so it seems like so he's saying he seems like he's overthinking everything and he's regressing and you know you can make a
53:41
case that he is regressing I'm not sure why I mean he should be at a peak right now uh for who he is and what he can do
53:48
and his abilities maybe some a game like the Blues game is is a game that kind of
53:54
catapults him and gets him right again you know but Lin holm's out now so he's going to have to play with zadorov a
54:00
little bit longer or maybe lowy you know so you know I don't know I mean now now
54:06
does he have now does he take on the burden of ly Holmes out now I got to do more now you know he's back to the
54:12
quarterbacking the power play one again quickly after lyol gets hurt the first time like so I don't know I mean we've
54:20
been doing this maoy thing for a while now it just doesn't seem like it just
54:25
seems like he he's getting into that he is what he is Zone yeah I feel like I feel like if he
54:33
did shoot the puck more like if he was he's on Pace also this year for 159
54:38
shots I don't know what he's his shot totals were in previous years but if he
54:44
could get up over 200 shots 250 shots I think he'd score 20 goals I really of
54:49
course I think he would I honestly believe that so and and I and I 100%
54:56
agree with you that if he got to that kind of a shot total 200
55:01
250 uh that it would open up the wings on the power play for
55:07
Pand and then the assist totals creep up too so I think you know there's so many
55:14
positives about him shooting the puck um he just needs to get it into his head
55:20
and he's had stretches where all of a sudden he he starts to shoot or he scores a goal scores a big goal like
55:26
like this um and it gets him going for a bit so maybe this will get him going for
55:32
a bit and like you said they play some lesser teams here coming up so you know if they can get through Dallas maybe get
55:39
just get a point down there keep it close get a point and then go play some of these lesser teams and go on a little
55:45
bit of a run if he can have like maybe a you know four five game point streak
55:51
like you know kind of get going in the right direction
55:57
you know maybe that'll catapult him for the rest of the season because he certainly needs it and we need it from him yeah you need I mean they need it
56:04
desperately from from makavo and you know I I just think the more it's talked about the more you think like you know
56:12
you have to believe that makoy wants to be the a top defenseman in the league you have to believe that I I don't I
56:18
don't have any doubts that he does but the writing's on the wall there and on how how it can happen I also feel and
56:27
tell me I'm wrong on this I feel like they've they've haven't really found the
56:34
right pair for him like they haven't found a guy that fits well with him
56:41
except except except maybe right I mean chrck had the best Advanced stats with him by far and I I feel like they played
56:50
pretty well together yeah I mean they would be you guys yeah I feel like care
56:56
you wish for Pittsburgh's open for business I I feel like the guys
57:02
now um kind of not necessarily set him up to fail but like if you watch people
57:09
pass him the puck now it's like you know Zadora has thrown it in his feet or he's
57:16
holding it until a guy's on makoy and then he gives it to him and then he's like [ __ ] me like I gotta try to do
57:23
something with this with a guy either Baron on me or a guy's already on me
57:29
while I think I think it has to do with lack of chemistry like you haven't played that much together and then a guy
57:35
like lowai like throwing a pass at you know 15 miles an hour instead of you
57:40
know 55 miles an hour right so you know I I just feel like he hasn't really found since
57:47
grizzli hasn't really found the right deep part to kind of help him at all I
57:54
feel like everybody that he plays with since grizzli has been kind of a drag on him like yeah
58:02
yeah it just hasn't helped him and I think that's he's been worse because of it not necessarily that grizzli made him
58:09
any kind of great shakes I just think they had a pretty good chemistry and the passes were tape to tape and they kind
58:15
of knew where each other was gonna be right and he doesn't really have that he hasn't had that with anyone since it's
58:21
like Ma and and Taves like they fit well together together Po and and and
58:28
whatever the other guy's name is there with the Islanders like they just p and p what is this you know two P guys they
58:36
fit well together for whatever reason they do um and I I just feel like they
58:42
haven't really found that guy yet from makoy and I think that's very I think
58:47
that's a valid point I I do I think that and even when cha played with him at a time there like you know cha was at that
58:55
point his career more of a stay-at-home type of guy less offense yeah and makoy
59:00
was able to kind of do his thing and makoy really respected Chara and Chara helped him like coached him and I even
59:07
think that was a better pair than some of the pairs he has now oh yeah you know even though Charro couldn't move yeah
59:14
like at least at least they got each other um so I don't know I think it's I
59:19
think it's true though he just he's playing with guys he hasn't played a ton with doesn't have a lot of chemistry
59:24
with um so hopefully I I was really hoping lorai would be that guy yeah and
59:31
maybe down the road but right now you know maybe it just needs more time maybe lyol being out you can you can try lowai
59:39
with him and see if you can build some chemistry you got no other choice I mean who the hell gonna play there yeah I
59:47
mean what it's gonna be it's gonna be zadorov and makoy but I I don't want zadorov playing 20 21 22 minutes first
59:55
of all yeah and I don't want him on the top pair well and the other thing I don't want at all is is Jordan osterle
1:00:02
and Parker wall oh my goodness that's that's just yeah that's is that is that legitimately gonna be the third pair
1:00:09
that's gonna be the third pair yeah you're gonna get lowai Carlo and you're gonna get Zadora of makore and you're
1:00:14
gonna get osterly and in wspoon and you know you know duck Dallas score 100
1:00:20
goals on that there yeah 100 yes 100 goals yes Thursday night holy
1:00:29
holy yeah that pairing is going to play eight and a half minutes I swear to God
1:00:34
yeah you're probably looking at makoy playing 30 minutes on th yeah yes Thursday yes yes it's gonna be
1:00:41
interesting to see if oost leag goes out and just looks out of sorts and W spoon does too like it's going to be
1:00:48
interesting to see what they do if they have to dip into Callahan or they have to dip into somebody else I think regul
1:00:55
is hurt um I don't even think he's available so there's Callahan and there's uh Billy
1:01:03
Sweezy gonna go swee up there I mean sze
1:01:08

1:03:07
Hall of Fame so good for pavell do yeah when are we when are we uh we got to go
1:03:12
on our continue our Crusade for Alexander mcel yes I mean I you know I'll tell you what you there must be
1:03:20
something there's dirty photos of Alex McGill or something's going on because
1:03:26
guy was unbelievable that that you know you talk about salani OS teimo salani the two of
1:03:32
them yeah were 76 goal scorers the two of them were like the two Best Wingers
1:03:38
in the game for large stretches of time when we were kids like M gilney was
1:03:45
unbelievable like he's got to be in the Hall of Fame that's insane to me it's insane to me it's the biggest it it
1:03:53
might be the biggest snub this side of Pete Rose like a non like a non-criminal
1:03:59
whatever the hell like someone who didn't break a rule he might be the biggest snub in professional sports
1:04:07
right now that's a that's a that's a take it is isn't it I mean if I'd like to go
1:04:14
through all the hall of fames and all the people who aren't in it Alex McGill might have a case as the biggest snub
1:04:21
out there you know what I I'm with you because I think he should be in 100% and I'll tell you what there's guys in there
1:04:28
that shouldn't be nope and he should be in nope should not be there you go yeah
1:04:34
so there you go you're yeah correct you are correct guy was the guy was
1:04:39
Sensational I mean he was and he should be I mean for God's sakes when they played Buffalo oh yeah every time like
1:04:47
he was scared the [ __ ] I mean all the time like all the time every time he touched the puck you thought he was gonna score like legitimately so put
1:04:55
that in I mean there's a there's a there's a dominance element to Hall of Fame dominance and fame fame matters
1:05:03
it's in the [ __ ] word like it's in the phrase like Fame matters dominance
1:05:08
matters over time like those things matter like longevity is overrated like
1:05:13
some guys get in for longevity stupid I hate that like don't don't do a longevity thing tell me tell me about
1:05:20
dominance tell me about Fame those are the two things and if you do if you have those two things you're in
1:05:26
and Jesus that guy was a famous [ __ ] player I know it's like if if you were
1:05:31
one of the best players in the sport during your time playing that's what it
1:05:37
should be it shouldn't be whether or not you play 22 seasons and are you know
1:05:43
fine no that shouldn't matter that shouldn't matter that shouldn't matter I mean it should be I always said this and
1:05:51
maybe it's different for different sports because of the lifespan of an athlete but in baseball for instance it
1:05:57
should be if you dominated 10 years if you dominated for a decade then you're
1:06:02
in the Hall of Fame I would agree that's I mean that's a solid time frame he had
1:06:08
1,032 points in 990 games more than he had
1:06:14
473 goals and 559 assists I mean the guy scored 76 goals
1:06:24
55 goals he's scored 43 goals in the in for the devils in 2000 in 2001 like the
1:06:33
guy was unbelievable yeah I mean he had more points than games played more than
1:06:41
better than a point per game more than a better so how is he not in and and
1:06:47
almost 500 goals like that had 18 hatric you that should get you in I I
1:06:52
just I don't I don't understand I don't get I don't get I don't get the thing with him and I don't I don't know I mean
1:06:58
I want to it's not it can't be the Russian thing I mean he was a fifth round draft pick yeah like he wasn't
1:07:05
even a high pick like but he was so I mean he was dominant like he could he
1:07:12
could take over the game and we saw it playing the Bruins all the time I mean
1:07:19
firsthand I mean he had Jesus he had he had 60 he had uh what was it 76 goals in
1:07:29
9293 with Buffalo he had 55 goals with Vancouver he had 43 goals with the
1:07:34
Devils he had 33 goals in 2002 2003 like
1:07:39
his 14th season he had 79 points like the guy was just so what I wouldn't do
1:07:46
for a guy on the team right now that had 79 points yeah not named
1:07:54

1:10:01
to start no so uh I know where I fall uh
1:10:06
I apparently am not one of his favorite people because he doesn't telephone you
1:10:12
were not on the start and you were not on the bench Maddie put you yeah I'm cut
1:10:19
yeah cut I mean that was cut we'll tell that story another time
1:10:25
yeah so that was uh so now I set I will set my alarm during every game for the
1:10:32
time that we are approximately going on air that's sad State of Affairs that you need to set your alarm dur during a
1:10:40
Bruins game you you can't just watch the game you got to set your alarm during
1:10:45
the game that's how poor the Bruins have played this year that Matt falls asleep
1:10:50
during the games fall asleep yeah I've never fallen asleep during a Bruins game till last night so that's where we are
1:10:56
as a Bruins Nation yeah it's a sad State of Affairs
1:11:02
noptic uh is what we've become uh Prospect Spotlight uh in it's first
1:11:09
round pick in 2024 Dean lero mean Dean lero Dean is 6 foot7 every bit of 22
1:11:19
pounds or whatever the hell he is uh he's had some some good spots this year he's had some tough ones but Dean uh
1:11:27
scored his first goal he has a goal in collegiate career now he's playing on a
1:11:33
really good a wagon of a BC team uh with high draft picks everywhere so he's able
1:11:40
to play on a third line and kind of settle in which is good for him rather than being the top guy competition has
1:11:47
been much different than he's experienced in the past U I'm sorry he didn't have a goal he has his first assist rather he has two two assists
1:11:54
he's a plus three in seven games with the Eagles not bad
1:12:00
not bad not bad as a as you know a freshman coming from where he came from I think originally their plan was maybe
1:12:07
to red shirt him uh and him to kind of you know take a season to get acclimated
1:12:14
to the competition level and so forth but you know with some of the guys that left wec had a bunch of guys you know
1:12:21
get drafted and leave so um you know they they asked them uh come in and play
1:12:26
right away so he's doing that and he's doing pretty well so you know good on him yeah mean dean lerno I'm gonna call
1:12:34
him mean dean Oak like mean yeah like
1:12:40
uh voice yeah can you say it in your iron Chic voice mean
1:12:47
Jin mean ding let me tell you mean Jin yeah gin Min that's what we used to call
1:12:53
him Jean me used to flip it Jean mean dean mean LNO yeah Dean lero
1:13:00
he's he's the man next year big things from him he'll climb up the charts I think gaso and jelic and Leonard and
1:13:08
some of those guys get perau some of those guys will move on and he'll be break breakout season for mean dean next
1:13:15
year no no doubt week ahead for the Boston Bruins on November the 14th at
1:13:22
the Dallas Stars Dallas beat b Boston five to2 in
1:13:27
Boston um Dallas is a wagon of a team they just absolutely embarrassed the
1:13:33
Pittsburgh Penguins uh score were up six to nothing after one yes um hin and the good the
1:13:42
good defenseman had two goals it was a complete embarrassment really for
1:13:47
Pittsburgh um and you know here's the thing about Pittsburgh quickly Mike Sullivan coach
1:13:54
former ber coach mhm there's been some sort of some talk about hypotheticals I
1:14:00
think really not actual factual but hypotheticals if he were to be fired is
1:14:06
he a candidate to come in if Montgomery is fired yes I would think he would be I'd
1:14:14
think he would be and you know why because he's Charlie makavo father-in-law yes yep that's that's
1:14:21
usually a good selling point uh nepotism it's finest yeah Charlie McAvoy is
1:14:27
married to uh coach Sullivan's daughter yes so it is it is something that to
1:14:33
keep an eye on but Mir hinan had two goals in that win seven to1 that's the last game that was on the 11th that
1:14:40
Dallas played so they are ready and they have been waiting for your Boston Bruins
1:14:46
to play and um it's going to be a tough one without lolm cus lolm out for weeks
1:14:53
Jim Montgomery says yeah and Jordan ostly 32y old Jordan OST is
1:15:00
gonna be brought up and um you know try to fill that spot in the third pair and
1:15:06
we'll see what happens there and then on November go ahead I was just gonna say well at least it's not inan Mitchell
1:15:12
because we've seen that we' seen thech story we've seen that and we're not particular fans if it's a if if it's
1:15:19
possible to be a poor man's Conor Clifton that's Ian Mitchell like it's if
1:15:24
it's possible as poor as Connor is God bless him if if it's a if it's possible
1:15:30
to be an even poorer Man Poor or Conor Clifton that's Ian Mitchell I mean run
1:15:37
around uh you know do odd things and uh get exposed and you know God bless I
1:15:44
mean I don't know he's played 25 30 NHL games none of them particularly well uh
1:15:51
's played 350 games or over 300 NHL games I believe really yeah I think 's
1:15:58
played yeah quite quite a few no kidding I think it's three 300 and uh let let me
1:16:05
check that but I think it's uh three
1:16:10
57 let's see he has played 371 he has 19
1:16:16
goals 67 assists 86 points minus 59 in
1:16:22
371 career games his first game was in
1:16:27
20145 with the Edmonton Oilers um so he's played with the Oilers
1:16:32
the Blackhawks the coyotes the Red Wings and the flames and now he plays with the Boston
1:16:40
Bruins Thursday night uh November 16th a rematch with the St Louis Blues at home
1:16:46
that's a one o'clock game on Saturday I believe and then uh Columbus
1:16:52
on November 18th Columbus Blue jackets have lost five in a row I think it is
1:16:58
now they've been really slumping after a surprising start so again after the
1:17:05
Dallas game you know Montreal's in there like Pittsburgh's in there I mean you got some teams in there that just aren't
1:17:12
very good so you have a chance to maybe run off some points coming up here soon
1:17:18
so that's going to be the makeer break I guess for Montgomery and this team you know have to have to go on some kind of
1:17:25
a run have to get points and several straight I think um to try to stay in
1:17:31
this thing and try to keep Montgomery's job um but thanks for tuning in
