"So you got fired a month to do his job and was rehired less than 24 hours later because his entire team, including the sun, some of the owners are protested. Yeah, protested. And said they were not going to play unless he was back. So a guy that has had that track record for getting players to buy in, same thing with the islanders. Again, when you're in a team coach by Barry tried, so you're known for having the identity of stingy grinded out team, but as a guy who helped run their defense, he played a very practical and hands on role in terms of getting that defense to be a team that was tough to play against. I think they were in the top ten in fewest goals against per game in all four years with the islanders. So it seems like a guy that wherever he's gone, he's done a very good job at getting guys to communicate, get his message across, get guys to buy in. And so for this team, if his main objective is getting more offensive capabilities out of this decor, seems like a pretty good guy to take on that task, especially if it's something that allows guys like mcavoy or grizzly would have you hit another gear in terms of their offensive production. I don't think you're going to see Brendan Carlo all of a sudden be a 15 goal score or what have you. But if he's able to get if he's able to get more production or just more adopting more mindset of finding those shooting lanes of not being afraid to take a shot and maybe in the past, you'd be chastised for being a low danger shot. If it's all about finding those lanes and capitalizing on them, seems like a pretty good guy for kind of the objectives or the bruins are mapping out for this roster. And that was something that bruins wanted the past couple of years. I remember even Cassidy mentioning this after the hurricane series in 2020 and the bubble saying, we need to get more shots through from the point. And over the past couple of years, it never really took place. And again, hampus lindholm helps with that. It does not help the Charlie mcavoy is going to be out for the first month and a half, two months of the season. Of course, I could be out for a month. So that definitely hurts, but I do think when the lineup is healthy, I think for the direction they want to go in, Gruden sounds like the guy. We will see we will completely say, again, it's an assistant coach, so it's not like he's going to revitalize the whole system. But good to get a new voice on the bench. You know, they got one last year in Chris Kelly. They've had Joe Sacco now forever. I know Joe sack was nothing to do with the defense, but like Joseph has been there since I think like what 2014. Quite a while. Quite a while. And you have goalie bob, obviously. So quite the assistant coaching crew Gruden and interesting hire should be interested to see what he does. But Connor, what can people look forward to from you over at Boston sports journal? Yeah, Evan, we're going to continue to break down the off season as we await some actual tangible news surrounding increased version on David creche. But until that happens, we'll still have you covered every step of the way. I think next week we're going to do a little bit of a dive into prospects and we usually do a prospect ranking every year during the off season, so I think we're going to commit to that undertaking next week quite the undertaking.

"You're not going to remove them even if that's one where you trade crew at the time in the middle of it. And the venom, the vitriol that comes in the next two, three years of giving up an asset like krug in the middle of that win now window. That's going to be there a lot longer than maybe 7 8 years down the line. We're like, oh, look at all this stuff. We got the crew. Yeah, it kind of sucked like you're always going to have that narrative for that. That second guess in the back of your mind, when you subtract from a team that's trying to win now, so that one, yeah, it's tough to draw a parallel between that and let's say what they're using now with pasta non where you look at what the flames right now where even if that team still has good pieces to build a room. And they had a great defensive foundation. If you lose a guy like Gujarat, a hundred point guy, a guy who's so weird, especially at even strength for nothing, devastating. Like you can't have that for a team that looks like it was really building toward something. And now as soon as you draw a sign with Columbus, what were all the columns that immediately came out, it was like, do the flames blow it up. It shows you how quickly you look the forges of Frances can change. I didn't ask boudreaux to walk for nothing. When the window completely shots, and that is it's funny, you know, obviously everyone's kind of been crapping on the bruins lately because of the prospects and things like that. But the reality is the fact that the bruins have left a cup window open now since like 2007 until now is mind-blowing. It really is mind-blowing. The cup window. I mean, I know like right now the cup window is not fully, really open. But there's still, they're still competing for a playoff spot. The flames may have to blow it up. You know, again, they could also use that space to do other things. They could, you know, I don't know what you do in that situation. You tread water next year, because then they have markstrom and net, you know, chuck's good, and they got good players. I know a lot of people around you always wonder about like Sean monaghan. Maybe this will be the year, Evan. He finally breaks through. It's like, who was it? Was Jonas brodin from the wild for a while that was like supposed to be a Bruin for so long. And there was Gabe Landis cog, Brendan Carlo forgave Landis dug straight off, which now in retrospect might have been a pretty good deal for the bruins. Way back way back then. But before we get David Craig stuff, I want to tell you about our next our new partner over at athletic greens. They have a product I use literally every day. Literally every day. I started taking AG one because I wanted better gut health and more energy. I'd actually do not drink coffee or use caffeine.

"CL, and S 50. That online with a game stats. That's where the game starts. So you mentioned interesting thing with the power play. I mean, remember back in that Carolina series and down the stretch, they could never enter the zone. And when they did, not much happened. And it's an interesting thing because I was reading up about the stars when he first came there because they defend like John klingberg, Miro heiskanen, este lindell, they had some solid puck moving guys. And they emphasized, as you mentioned, just take it slow. You don't have to immediately rush up the ice. These quick ups, you don't need it. As long as you have the puck, you're fine. I am interested in how once Matt grills like and Charlie mcavoy returns. How that runs. I'm interested in how it impacts Brendan Carlo. And how it impacts him because you know what? With a guy like him who's not the greatest puck mover in the world, maybe taking it slow isn't the worst thing in the world, letting him kind of see what is in front of him. Whether or not they keep Mike Riley for this, although I can't imagine like a coach, you know, a certain coach would make them keep him. What are your expectations for each position group? And what impact your Montgomery would have on them? Yeah, I think it's one of those things where you listen to what other players said about them. I think even Tyler say again was talking about Montgomery's impact for him and what he liked about his coaching style is that it's a lot more of seeking input from the players of I think Sagan pretty much said he was the first coach who they sat down and met and he was like, all right, what do you want on your line? Like who do you think you best mesh with? And they kind of built it from there in terms of like, you know, you've got different key pieces in the line that you know where their strengths are and you kind of let those pieces fall into place. It's kind of what the quote you mentioned earlier in terms of you look at how posture and our compliments, bergeron and Martian. I think for him, it's for, especially the forward grouping. It's a lot of just, I think, candid open dialog, especially which I imagine you're going to see during training camp about. All right, we know what your strengths are. Let's play to them and even if maybe it's guys that you don't expect being inset roles if it leads to a spot where you're getting more offense or more effective play out of a guy, whether it's if Jake de brusca is still here, the way he plays or maybe for focusing on different aspects of a strength to their game. So you look at take de bruss, where they're just emphasizing more of his driving to the net. And if you have a better setup guy, they're just getting a great AI, he said, all it takes is a tip or a rebound to lead to a few more goals. So I think for Nick Ritchie. Yeah, exactly. Again, it's a pretty set formula, right? When we always look at how the bruins have struggled with 5 on 5 and even strength offense, a lot of it's just not adhering to those simple smart plays. You got to make down in great AI. So I think from the forwards, it's what's going to be refreshing, I think, is that very open line of communication of getting the input from the players themselves as to what works best for them. Again, I don't think they can all just be like, put me with Brad marchand and David Boston, or anything like that. Chris Wagner is like, I would like to.

"About it. But it is an interesting thing you bring up the D core because this was a big subject of discussion. It was really bad in the first period and it got worse as the game went on. And everyone kind of pinned it on Clifton because again, two one was just off a turnover. It was a block shot. And obviously, again, Clifton not to sound mean here, but he's replaceable, right? You can plug in place, guys in for Connor Clifton. Who you can't really replace is Brandon Carlo. And I think that's one thing that gets overlooked quite a bit is a guy like Carlo, you don't have another guy with a ceiling who can shut down anybody in the league, right? I think that's sort of the issue there with the Clifton. You can throw Josh Brown and you can throw him like Riley, which is probably what's gonna end up happening, which we get to later in today's show, but you can't replace Brendan Carlo. And again, this is a problem we've seen all season where the play just isn't there. The shutdown, the missed coverage in front of the net, just ain't there. Yeah, I think that's probably the more concerning thing and a game like this where, as you said, you can replace Clifton and I think Clifton's had his spurts where he's been very effective. I think he's the perfect 7 D, right? Where I think if you have him for an extended stretch of time, you might be running into some issues. As you saw in that game against Toronto, but when you need him in a pinch, you need him in a playoff series when you've got guys taking a lot of damage, he gets value there. Burning Kala is not a guy that you can take in and out of the lineup where you shouldn't be if you want to be maximizing your decor, right? Like the bruins have it set up that burning college guy that's entrenched on that second pairing can be shut down, stay at home option there and solidify that second pair. And hasn't really been the case so far this year. And again, I think his play is overall maybe stabilized a little bit over the last couple of weeks with Matt grizzly, but then you have a team like Toronto who, again, you have to be playing at your best because one miss queue and it can be in the back of the net as we saw many times in this game on Tuesday night..
