"Order to the bruins beat on sea on us media my name is Evan Marino, we hope you guys are having a great day, a great week. On this episode, Conor Ryan and I got into some pertinent topics in the world of contracts and salary caps. We got into the recent news on Johnny gaudreau. And how that impacts David Paulson arts earnings because I do think there is a little correlation there. We also get into Pavel zaka and if is he good enough to see if David grace doesn't return and also could he potentially help keep posture? All interesting questions? All interesting summer questions. We also get into if John Sweeney is actually going to clear any cap space because going off recent comments, I think that's kind of a clear answer. So that is today's episode of bruins beat. And without further ado, here is my conversation. With Connor Ryan. And

"Did you steal you a game, or to at least hold down the fort strong enough to not give up the first goal, which is tough because again, you know, you have these giveaways in front of him, you have miss coverages. I mean, even on that first school, you mentioned the gris like fail to clear, but also slave in just had a route to the net. They completely bungled the coverage at the top of the zone. So I think, again, you just need him to steal you a game. Kind of like tuca rask in that first period and game three. It was game three. It was game three. In game three. 20 shots on gold in 2019. You need that kind of performance. And that's what's going to take to win. And again, guess what, Connor, neither of those things are easy to do. Those things are going to take some real grit, you know? It's about drive and power, you know, is Dwayne The Rock Johnson. I was going to say you went to break into The Rock rap, but that's what it's going to take. It's a rock like performance, so to speak. Connor, the rest of this series throughout the playoffs, the off season, what can people look forward to from you over at Boston sports journal? Yeah, for as ever long as a series goes and then as you said into the off season, we'll have pretty much daily content. All along the way, whether it's breakdowns of what the bruins can do to get past Carolina these next few games, what the bruins face in terms of a pivotal off season, what decisions they have to deal with some hard truths they have to confront all that stuff will be over at BHA. Hopefully the latter a few weeks down the line. Let's see. But all that stuff again will be over Boston, so what Sean dot com so please subscribe and be as J and if you want to follow me on Twitter, you can hear that at Conor Ryan on the school in 93.

"And welcome back into the bruins beat on sea on us media my name is Evan Marino. You know, if you're having a great day, a great week. As the regular season wines down, slowly winds to a close. And on this episode, Connor and I talked about some newsy things with the bruins like marchand and the power play, both two things in a big slump. We just got kind of coming out of his own slump and how he's doing better. But the real interesting thing we did today, and this is what I was so excited and I'm so excited to do with you. Is I wanted to take a look at how this team compares to past teams. Past bruins seems, of course. And we went kind of top 6 bottom 6 defense and then goaltending and how compares teams all the way back to 1819. Because I have a take with this bruins team that I didn't expect to have this year. Especially mid season, I did not expect this to be my take. And then I think when you look at the entire league as a whole, you're left with this other take of like, oh, so we went line by line and we did section by sectional lineup from each season. And we had some interesting takeaways. It was fun. It was a fun little activity we get to do. Towards the end of the regular season, I figured it was better than breaking down Carolina again or New York or Toronto. So we did this instead. I really enjoyed this. I hope you do too. And without further ado, here's my conversation. With Connor Ryan. And we're here with Conor Ryan, Connor. What is up? Evan, doing well. How are you doing? Doing great. Doing great. That's the regular season just keeps on going. It's just like, can we get to the postseason here? I know it says every week, but it's just to that point where these regular season games it's like, all right, let's wrap this up..

"This. This February 15th and this is the bruins beat on CLS media. Welcome to the bruins beat on CLS media, my name is Evan Marino. He hope you guys have any great day, a great week. Hopefully had a great Super Bowl weekend, did something cool for it? Maybe we're there. Or as people Blackburn said on Twitter who wouldn't want to just sit on the couch and stuff their face. What's the fun and being there when you can just sit at home on the couch with a big bag of chips and some beer or maybe you're having soda or whatever it is and just eating away, drinking away. Personally, I just chilled. Just chilled, ordered our chicken sandwich from a local restaurant. It was delicious. Watch the game, even get you hungry right now. But it was a good game, Connor and I got into it to start. Just a little bit. But in this episode, we talked for a while about these Mark Andre flurry rumors at the Bruce might be a dark horse than him and we kind of discussed the pros and cons to someone like flirt. We also got into life without bergeron and Martian as the burns are going through right now. And what it kind of exposes in this bruins lineup. And we also got into the potential of this Frederick Coyle Smith line working. What happens if that's a good line? Does that become the third line? Who slots in up top? So a lot of interesting moving parts with that. We also get into Jack studnica. And what his value is saying with Jacob bruss, what their value is in trades and where they might fit in the lineup. Going forward. So fun episode, as always, remember to go support our friends over at bed online with our promo code CLS 50. Without further ado, here's my conversation. With Conor Ryan. And we're here with Conor Ryan. Connor, what is up? Evan, doing well. How are you doing? Doing great. Doing great. This is too straight weeks of you back on bruins beat. It's like we're getting back in the rhythm of you coming out. Slowly getting you back in the loop on this. But how was your weekend? It was swell. Watch Super Bowl went with, I thought, I hope the Bengals were gonna win, but alas. It was more realistic. I was like, you know what Aaron Donald is going to absolutely obliterate Cincinnati's offensive line? Sure enough it happened. Adds terrible, as always, which like, I feel like it's very much an old old man grape to be like the Super Bowl ads are bad. It's like realistic now. Everyone's got like Twitter and YouTube. People are getting more creative. You don't have to wait for the big game for you to drop like a good ad anymore. So I got 9 understand that comes with a territory, but it was good. No complaints as of when the time this podcast drops. Hopefully be you will be being part champions. We will scrub this audio from the podcast. So fingers crossed there. But how are you doing? How was your weekend Evan? It was great. I actually had to do a bean pot preview video for the championship for the NCAA, and I predicted be you to win. Hurt me to do it. Hurt me to do it, but I did. I had to make a business decision and I did it. It was a good weekend. Fun times, Super Bowl was great. You're right, the ads were terrible. The only ad that I actually remember was the crypto dot com ad with the barcode that went on the screen..

"It was awesome over the past week. This is actually the final bruins beat of 2021. And it has been quite the year. So to recap the whole year to look at the most notable moments of the season Conor Ryan, old friend Connor Ryan of Boston sports journal joined us to talk about the year. And just kind of review it and recap it. And we kind of came to one big conclusion, which we'll get to at the end of today's episode. I do want to say though before we get into the conversation, I want to say thank you to everyone who's listened throughout the whole year to anyone who's listened at all just everyone for listening and supporting this show. You guys it doesn't happen without you. So at the end of every year, I always like to say thank you this year is no different. Just thank you, thank you, thank you a hundred times over. Because you guys are incredible, whether it's interact with me on Twitter or just simply listening to this, I really can not thank you enough. So without further ado, here is my conversation with Connor Ryan. And we're here with Connor Ryan. Connor, what is up? Evan, doing well. How you doing? I'm doing, I've been better, but you've had to my issues in a minute. But first, first, before we get to my nose and my fat lip and I look like I got beat up. I'll get to it in a sec what happened. But first how was your Christmas? How was your holiday season? It was splendid. It was low key, no issues, no concerns. I saw, you know, scrolling through Instagram stories, a lot of people unfortunately had isolation christmases or what have you. So thankfully, we were able to avoid that. Everyone's safe and healthy. It was good. Able to relax, take some time off, watch jingle all the way, all that good stuff. So it was a good couple of days. How about yourself? It was good. Fun Christmas, Christmas Eve, very low key stuff, which is I like, you know, I have friends who will travel, you know, two hours on Christmas Day and it's just like, you know, that's nice at all, but I do enjoy just kind of like chilling and hanging out. So it's nice to be with the family and you know, do what I love as you said a low key Christmas. I was very nice. So the day after Christmas, I, one of my things this year is I want to learn how to ski. And that's been my one of my big things going to 2022 is I want to learn how to ski. So my friends and I who I'm going with on a big trip out west to ski in late February took me another friend who would never ski before. I would choose it and said, you know, we're gonna teach you how to skate. You don't need lessons. You played hockey Evan, you're fine..

"It was awful. I remember really going to your kid. You got the idea of a snow cone pitch to you. It's like the coolest shit in the world. And then how it was awful. I don't remember what happened during the actual show. I imagine there was some Disney characters. I imagine there was some skating. It was ice. It's advertised that. I remember much. I was so rattled by how shady my snow cone was. Just glazed over. I had a bad still pretzel, so I feel in that sense. I just remember it was like advertises like, oh my God, these amazing Disney characters should be skating around the ice and it's gonna be exciting. And it's just like guys dressed as Mickey Mouse, you know, doing twirls and stuff. I was like, well, she has like they should have a fight on the 80s. Yes, she dropped the gloves. Yeah, well, guns. Yeah. Yeah. I mean, you got like woody, what he's like, what are you strapped up, right? Yeah. Dude, it's ready for battle. I'm going. I mean, jeez. There's glass around the ice. Just to make a bulletproof. But anyways, yeah, no, again, I think the schedule is, again, there's no silver lining. There's nothing there that you can't find a time and say, oh, that you can go up to auto and play these games. Oh, you can go to Montreal to play this game. I have no idea. And I also saw mention that there's talk of putting the Olympics for hockey and like Seattle because I don't believe climate change arena or climate plan climate change in the United States..

"And welcome to the brewers beat on CLS media, my name is Evan marano ski. I hope you guys are having a great day, a great week, enjoying hockey being back. Not really the bruins. We're just playing one game to this point. Firstly, one game in a week, and they don't play till Wednesday, but hopefully you enjoyed the game Saturday night. And have been enjoying all the hockey around the league. A lot of just having hockey back. This time of year is always so fun because it's so fresh. I'm watching every game. I'm consuming every possible piece of hockey content I can consume. So I hope you guys are doing the same enjoying the Red Sox as well. On this episode, Connor and I discussed Jake de brusk in the third line, which looks to be back. I know it's one game, one of 82. But that line? Pretty encouraging. Pretty pretty. Pretty encouraging. If you guys get my reference there. Then we talked swimming. We discussed sort of the bruins scheduling things, what to look forward to coming up. And then we discussed ESPN and Turner. How we like the new broadcasts, how we like their new setups, and the promotion of it. So we get into all of that in this episode and more. And without further ado, here's my conversation. With Conor Ryan. And we're here with Connor Ryan, Connor, what is up? Evan, how are you doing? I'm good. I'm doing well. I'm interested to hear how you are. He's just like that right to me. You know, I'm doing okay. I'm going to be over a fun way today. It's the most exciting time of the sports year. We got Red Sox going on. Minks were very busy a couple of days, but I am doing well. Yeah, it's a very busy time of the year. Especially for someone like you who you're not, I mean, bruins have started, but they don't play until Wednesday. Yes. So we've been scheduled being out of whack a little bit, so. Yes. Oh, you know, are you around a little bit? Do you want to go over and see game three of the ALCS? Like, who would want to do that? Yeah. Who would ever want to do that? But anyways, the birds have played one game..

"You can all come into the bruins beat on CLS media my name is Evan Meredith. I hope you guys are having a great day. Great week. Hopefully had a great marathon Monday. Albeit that it was in October, but hopefully you guys enjoyed that or do whatever you had to do for that, maybe enjoy the long weekend as well. And what's great is the bruins. Start this week. It's a game week. It's a game week. The bruins play at the end of this week. So in honor of that Connor Ryan and I was my guest on the show, Connor and I previewed the season. And we did it through your questions. I put out a tweet, I got, I think, like, a good amount of questions. Ten or 11, maybe 12 questions. We grouped them together, and there were a lot of topical things. So it wasn't like, you know, we had to talk about other stuff and then get to those questions. There were questions that I think a lot of people have. Including us. So we answered them. And it was a great episode. It was a fun episode. I love doing season preview ones because we can go long and you guys want the season preview stuff. Everyone's excited for the start of a new season. You know? And then once the season gets going, that's when stuff can be a little bit different. You know, the bad storylines and such, but this was a fun episode fun to get into. And without further ado, here's my conversation. With Conor Ryan. And we're here with Kona Ryan, Connor, what is up? Evan, doing well. How you doing? I'm doing great. And you've been killing it everywhere. You've been covering Red Sox games. Obviously, the Patriots last week, but you've been at the Red Sox home games. You were there for the crazy game three with the walk off home run. You did it, you offered to buy dunks for everybody on Twitter, how nice are you? Yeah, I try to do something to lighten the mood. I think the move is a little bit dour going into the 12th, 13th inning and fire off that tweet, get some good responses, some good interaction, good content, good vibes, questions, because it's a home run like ten minutes later. So it shows you, as many people say, Twitter is a cesspool. Sometimes you can get some positives out of that. Not saying I'm taking credit for it, but I kinda am. Happy to be happy to be here back to be covering hockey for a while. We don't know how game four, it's going down, I will not be a game for, so if they happen to lose, and you guys will listen to this, it might be my fault for not being there..

"Took the Bruins beat on Ceylon this video. My name is Kevin Barrett office here. If you guys are having a great day, a great week here in New England, hopefully, you are getting through the rain and the crappy weather and you're listening to this podcast instead. Lucky lucky, you lucky what's getting you out of the rain? Maybe you're on the way to work. You're doing something else and you're just going to totally tuned out the weather and for you and the rest of the country, I hope you're enjoying the sun birth rate. Conor Ryan was on this episode and one thing that, that that I kept thinking about during the playoffs was how much tougher the Atlantic division that the birth will be in next year. How much tougher it will be than in Prior years and I couldn't get it out of my head and today seemed like a perfect episode or perfect time to talk about to talk about that bass. I think it's something that you're going to see a lot next year is there's going to be five legit teams two of which were in the Stanley Cup and all and I think five of the top eight teams that are doing The Cup next year are in the Bruins division, including the Bruins by the way. So for others in the division aside from the Bruins are have high odds, the Stanley Cup. So definitely something to think about. So got into Tarasenko talk who's requested a trade with the Bruins? Be a fit, is that a smart move? And then of course it wouldn't be the off season without a little bit of Jack. Eichel talk and he added a big interview last week with a 25 news here in Boston. Where he did say, yeah, I'd love to go back to Boston a little bit. So we get into that and we do discuss the one way in which he can be traded to Boston and the return would not be a pickup truck or a McEvoy. So stay tuned for that before we get into the conversation, which was very good. I do want to First, tell you about my good friends over bet.

"And welcome in to poke the bear, episode 50. I'm Evan Aronofsky back here with Conor Ryan. Yes, I'm back from vacation, Connor killed it last week, doing it all on his own, which people don't realize is not easy. That's not an easy thing to do, and I'm not that we don't have a lot to say, but talking for forty-five minutes straight is not exactly the greatest thing in the world for the voice box. So, maybe I'll do the majority of the talking today. You're rested up interests up after that. Yeah, the good thing though, Evan is at least we had to talk about like Oliver ekman-larsson and like it's very easy to get wound up as to why the Bruins couldn't get them cuz he's men legit like a garbage over the last like two years like not not like kind of bad like not Lego little Reclamation project know he costs a crap ton of money and my god he has been absolutely Dreadful so long. Riffing off of a bad for about 20 minutes. Did a pretty good job shutouts Oliver ekman-larsson for hopefully contributing into one positive way. He will on any Bruins discussions because if the Bruins get him we're not begrudge it. Just come out that the coyotes are only. They only want to retain like one point two five million of a salary is that one cameras up. Yeah. Which just the latest and just a clown, a clown show operation about there being this is a team that whether it's the fact that they can't even pay off their own bills for their own Arena, Which is far away outside of the actual City of Phoenix, back to having a horrible farm system to all of their absolute, you know, mishandling of the draft, the last couple of years, or some of the guys they picked coupled with effect. They lost their first pick for things like improper. Like draft testing, I don't know. The exact thing is what it was, losing a first-round pick because of it. So now the new thing is moving karna, Galant Homme. Is they don't want to pay a guy who is been their best foot forward for probably the last two years which seems like he's well in line to get a single. I think he's making seven seventy-five thousand last year. So would seem like he's more than do for that. I would say Evan. Yeah not not going to pay that guy, but then trying to still have leverage when you've got a busted off defenseman, you're trying to offload. So great. Rationale, from that team going to see the NHL's can you to prop up a franchise like that, that seems to slowly be dying in the desert. So, yeah, if we open at 5. So just by burying the coyotes but you know what? They deserve it that reference as a joke I guess they were after a hot start just absolutely ripping ripping apart the coyotes which as you said, very well deserved. I mean, just a joke down there. So funny that like Vegas in like four years. Completely overtook them as like the team in the desert. So happy to see that. Yes, Conor Garland as well. That stuff is great. We'll get into that home..

"I'm your host Conor Ryan flying solo today. As our esteem MC Evan Mera. Naam, ski is currently down the cape, enjoying some much-needed time off. So this is so low operation today. Going to be a little bit different from our normal show off or need any kind of go back and forth going through topics. But you know, we're still going to focus on some of the, the main issues, some of the emerging Trends I guess you want to say going into this offseason. The Bruins namely I guess kind of starting off with a familiar off-season narrative. You follow along last year in Oliver ekman-larsson and the Bruins game. Potential interests in the Arizona Coyotes Captain. So we'll talk about that a little bit and then kind of rounding up the second half of the show. We're going to focus on a few listeners submitted questions that we got through each other, which kind of cover the whole gamut of different things. So, again, a little bit of different show. Hopefully, Evan will have, you know, it's a nice time off. Go to Sunday school down in the cape, shoutouts home school, go to the beach, get a tan and come back and be ready to record. Are podcasts as normal going into next week. So yeah, I guess starting with just kind of dive right into it with all kind of the the main topic. Again, we're in the, the doldrums, I guess you want to say, of of this offseason in terms of, not a lot of tangible news going on right now. And again, that's not going to be the case until probably the end of July. We're going to have some actual legitimate news to talk about because Until we get to I think it's July 21st with the Seattle expansion draft. You're not going to see a lot, a whole bunch of, you know, crazy movies, you know, even trades which can happen before that way. I don't think you're going to see any team significantly augment their Rasta until the the crack and have their pick of all these different players because you're not going to have,.

Is Craig Smith the Bruins' Most Underrated Player?
"Think Craig Smith has a lot that play into it. And again for a guy who is signed here, who you know, I remember back in college, you know, January February, people are like, all right well for the expansion draft like this since it's not hanging around, right? This guy is what Thirty one years old like he's got just a couple of goals like where did he kind of fit into the mix? But you know it's just been a great signing for the Bruins to get this guy who I think for all of us going into it, you know, I always excited. I think, you know, a lot of people were you look at his numbers like art. This is a guy who's going to help this team, but not a lot of people expect them to be a top-six guy, right? I think he was going to be a very, very good. Third one guy, almost like oil, right? Like coil if he's your top six. You know, you'll be fine, I guess, but he's not exactly what what you want. But, but he's in a third line role. He's a very good in terms of getting those matchups to Heaven. Be your second one, right wing, and to really solidify that line but doing some of the little things it's good to see in. It's good that a guy like him gets rewarding because I think it seems like leading up to, you know, Craig Smith scored that goal was going to be another game where, you know, we talked about Taylor Hall and again, it's all deserved in terms of how great he's been. But don't overlook judging, you know how good Craig Smith? Is it? Doing the little things that help get that line. So any of those great, a chances. So he's just been fantastic this year for the Bruins.

"The second line isn't complete. You know, again the, you know, they let too many guys to the middle in their own Zone. They couldn't get in the middle of the other teams own this team is totally different. So yeah, I think frozen 6, I think Bruins should win this series. I don't know how they don't. I mean it again unless as you said they get banged up to the point where they have a lineup, they roll like like Tuesday night, but even that was a to one game. Do have that Capital side to play all their starters and the regular season finale when there was really no reason to do that but that's okay. But that is the playoff, that's the first round preview.

Who’s the Preferred Match-up for Boston in the First Round of the Playoffs?
"What team is a better matchup for the Bruins. Maybe in terms of itself cuz I mean, let's be, let's be candid. You know, lead into this at either match is going to be tough, right? Either one of these ones, you're like, all right? Well, that's what it is, right. Is it thing though? Like, so I feel like the looming thing with capitals is that, you know, any team is going to play them is going to give the shit kicked out of them. But yes, you know, they're finishing their big team. They've got Tom Wilson, they've got Hathaway, they've got Dylan Char, all these, all these big guys, but I think you look at how you best exploit a team like that. It's easier than 14. Like the Bruins, what their strengths to land punches against a team like the capitals on the ice in terms of you know, the X's and O's and it is the Penguins. Now, Penguins may not be nearly as big but you look at just the way the Capitals defense is, you look at how Scholl they are on defense, how the Bruins right now especially up front, all of a sudden have all this speed in their line-up. I mean they've God Top six is the top six even though Richie Crowley coiler the physical track and wine, those guys can move, you know, really Sean Crowley is, you know, a very good skater and events or fourth line. Now. It might depend on the match of, you know, do you want to roll out debrusk and kacchan? The 4th Line? Or is that one we go with Lazar with Frederick and Wagner so that, that can change a little bit in terms of the max but you look at the, the, the defense of the capitals have. I mean, the Bruins average close to three, three point six goals per game, against the capitals. The only team that scored more goals against against Atlantic division. Foes our East Division, foes was the same Choice which makes sense, not surprising, but the fact that, yeah, the fact that, you know, Washington who has a slow defense who do not really have to lead goalies in that, which, I mean, I think the biggest equalizer for how much the cap wasn't given the Bruins trouble of these has been because of brain. Hopefully now you've got vanicek and samsonov two guys who don't really ski all that money. Trade. I just look at the matchups and what the Bruins are going to go up against. Yeah, you're going to get knocked around quite a bit but it's

Well, said for the play-offs, his dad, good, as you should be, as everybody is, I am, I'm excited to start but I also have a tinge of sadness with me today and that's because at the end of this week, I graduate college. And that's a sad thing graduate on May 14th. I know I I would have no idea. You're in college. I remember one time when I was covering the Stanley Cup playoffs in 2019, Matt, Kalman and I were riding up an elevator and I remember that brought up, but I was like, oh yeah I got to run back to Amherst tomorrow.

Will the Boston Bruins Ever Fix Their Power Play?
"Those practices that burns will have, I imagine a large portion, it's going to be devoted to fixing that power play, just because it's been stuck in a rough way for a long time, I think since April 8th, the Bruins have six total power-play goals and four of them have come from Craig Smith. And and another one is kind of stupid crazy. I mean, you can make the case. You like just from the I test that the second unit has looked a lot better than the first for a long, long time now. So they have to do something to to get that first pulp a unit rolling. Whether it's worth switching a Personnel or Bruce Cassidy is always identified troubles with entries as being a thing that's really going to hurt that top power-play unit over the last month. So I think they've got to really kind of fix that and not make it be you know I don't think you want you expect you to jump from where it is right now to all Cynthia not top three unit again right. I don't think you're going to have that whether it's just like it's not the cards at guys on exit game. I'm gonna Torey Krug. Yeah, yeah, exactly. I don't think either you're going into it. Expecting them to cash in on, you know, thirty percent of their chances, but you're still need more than the output. You're getting off. Because I think you know, right now the Bruins is, the deadline are outscoring teams at even-strength 37 to 15, which is crazy. It's crazy that there there's going this many of the 2011 Bruins now, where it's like, wow, they're, you know, they're dissecting teams on even strain for them to hopefully, kills, all the momentum. Pretty much been the case for a month now. So if you even get that power-play back to, you know, 20% over this this long stretch, it goes a whole a long way. Especially in the playoffs, in terms of Just Landing more punches against the opponent's. So I think in terms of x's and o's power plays probably stands out the most to me. Yeah.

Is Krejci Still a Viable Player for the Bruins?
"Krejci is still going to be David krejci this year. He's still going to have to change plan. A forty Fifty Point Pace over a full season still be good. Still dragged along, whoever whatever Wing is he's got, but you have Charlie Coyle. Who's getting paid like a top-six guy, would you expect him to make that jump up? You expect Jackson eager to really crack through and, you know, people who thought he was going to be up like The Calder or what-have-you or at the very least, be a guy that was going to flash a lot of practice that you could see him getting a full-time job. Next year, obviously that has not panned out either a guide for both coil and Sydney, so I think you look at this team and it's subject. Forecast years from now, what to expect from his team. But you look at the way they're playing right now and the piece that they have in place. It's not out of their own possibility to think that if you co-sign crazy and and Hall again and get a lot of these pieces back, you could run it back with the same group for another year or, or to even and still be a pretty viable Contender just the way they're playing off. So I think that's the only option that brings really have at this point is bringing back David krejci. Now granted

Bruins' Goaltender Swayman in Line To Be the Backup
"But this way my guy can play can play. It's proven at this point and one thing that has become abundantly clear this week is it looks as if he's probably bumped jaroslav halak. Is that the right move? Is this going to keep going your general thoughts? Yeah. I mean I can see any reason why you would take them out of the rotation at this point right? I think Bruce Cassidy more or less said that had this band you know the middle of the season and not had a little bit more of a window or maybe a bit more breathing room in the standings to incorporate and get a walk back into the mix. Then of course you do that right? I mean it's not like they're they were looking forward to the Sierra Club, part of the plan to have a whole lot, get bumped out of the rotation and to have Jeremy swimming step. And they didn't think he was going to be remotely close to the NHL, like, you know, here was this year when according to plan, they'd be more than happy with him splitting reps.

Should the Bruins Be Concerned About Their Current Third Line?
"Fairly obvious one has to be that third line, right? I mean, that's the line that where you've got your top six clicking very well right. Now, you got them drawing a lot of these matchups, Ideally you would think that a third line where you have coil in the middle that you guys that were top six guys prior to this that have a top-six talent and Nick rejected price. You saw them further down the line up against easier matchups. You'd imagine the goals would come right or you would at least get more consistent production where they're afforded those those easier looks and so far that really hasn't happened now granted this been they've had some chances right? I think the rules in seven shots on goal during Tuesday's win over Buffalo, especially last week. They had a couple of really good grade eight looks and just did not pan out. So there's been chances but it also it's been kind of choice between right. They're getting a whole ton of offensive zone time and not having much to show for it in terms of tangible production. So that's the line. I think you definitely need to get wrong. I mean we've we've talked about this for years now right of you know, how good this lineup can be when you've got that third line really clicking as you saw on the 2019 postseason, so they have to wear may be shuffling those guys up or just sticking with and hoping they break through they gotta correct that and then the other one I'd say just fixing on top power-play unit which

Taylor Hall Shows Flashes in his First Game With the Bruins
"Did you think of Taylor Hall? Yeah, I think if you're a few of the problems you have to be encouraged as what you saw home. It's kind of interesting after the game. He saw a few like National people kind of reactive like I guess I forget who was if someone up in Canada that was like, well you saw from a game the Bruins have the works out for them with Kayla Hall like guys not confident really going to build his confidence back up which I mean he's he's admitted that but he needs to build his game back up, but I don't know how he saw anything from it off. They give you like a red flag of like all this guy's really fighting the puck. I mean, it's his first game with the new team hasn't played in ten days. People forget about the guy was literally was on the it was held out of games wage earning a new system. So, you know, I don't know people are expecting him to to score a hat-trick in his first game, but you know, I think he started off a little slow. I think he had to kind of adjust the new life mate said like kind of a bad turn over that kind of that spin around pass it went to a sabre instead of a brewing so like yes a little tentative at at this. But I think it's a game went on he got more comfortable. I think where you really kind of noticed him especially was transition wise very very kind of assertive and smooth to the neutral zone. Got a lot of an easy. Everybody was able to manufacture a lot of pretty clean Zone entries, which is usually been an issue for this team terms of kind of getting that momentum back. So I think especially moving phone number Against maybe more physical teams like the Islanders or the capitals where they really trying to, you know, have you in your Zone? Haven't got like Hall who can't support a guy like McAvoy or a Grizzly look and get the puck-moving. I think it'd be a big a big difference maker in terms of helping out that group. So I think if you're the Bruins as the the first step I think of to be encouraged it wasn't, you know, I don't get the month of drawbacks and people saying that you know, he he look like he was you know out of it or or anything like that like he was shooting off the rust seemed like he was fitting pretty well with Craig Smith and Dave G granted like Craig Smith might be scoring on a newline you put them on right now you guys just on fire so which is good news for the Bruins, right that gives them an actual finish on that line, but I think it's be encouraging. I think maybe that one thing people were concerned about, you know, there's the The Narrative about until hell not playing winning lucky or being a dog because he was on some bootleg teams, but I think his attention to details as the game went on we're pretty good. I mean That could that checking effort to really break up that last chance Buffalo hat and over time, you know, he was engaged on the other end of the ice or the thing is encouraging. So I think for a first step really know how you have to be discouraged by what you saw because the chances were there, right? He wasn't burying them. He supposed to work on a little bit but as a first kind of audition seemed like he did pretty well in that second line.

Oh, yeah, and it's also one of those odd situation as to where is also seems that need at home that probably need him more than you do like the Bruins definitely could use them but like a look at the Flyers right kind of hot not been playing very well. The defense is dead weak point they can score goals, but what they're missing especially is a guy like at home. So if you're going to get to a bidding war with them, like, you know, they've at least got guys on the NHL level who they can probably pop off within more comfortable doing like gostisbehere or a few of the guys. So it's going to be challenged like it's and again if you miss out on that, it's not like all right, you've got other options there. It's like, you know, it's just like a guy who's like a tier below like let's say they're looking for a top-six forward like they were a few years ago and they got like Marcus Johansson. It was like a really really good 3rd liner you make do with that and wage. Pretty well for them. It's not like you go from like Mickey. Is that home to like a guy? Who's a beach here?

Bold Predictions for the Bruins' 2021 Lineup
"I mean, I think the defense is cut-and-dry as to who the top Thai it's going to be it's going down. CSX home who we've talked about before thing that was on Bruins beat but everything you want and a top-four defenseman, right? I mean, he's a veteran guy thirty years old he signed for for a great value. I think it's three point six million per year signed through next year big body 6-4 eats a lot of minutes and also as like a good five-on-five score, I think like his scoring gone off this year. I think he's got like four or five goals in like a short amount of time. So my fantasy team he he does, you know, yes, but he's German a lot of office right now, but even without kind of this, you know spurt in terms of five and five goals, he's also I think getting a lot of just good at driving the plates good at moving the puck for a big body all that stuff. So I think he's thrown away the the topic there again, we're back to see what Brandon Carlo status is cuz right now I don't think anyone really knows what it's going to be which you might have to address that on the right side, but I think if you're looking for and we've talked about this, but as good as this defense is dead. Is a whole lot of risk in terms of rolling out lausanne and zaboor and back and iron and just you know, throwing them to the Wolves when you play Washington or if they get past it Tampa or one of these teams, right? That's a lot of these kids in a year where you should be going all-in. So I think you definitely need a defenseman but it all kind of goes back to you know, what the price would be farik ho mere fact that there's not a lot of other top-tier bloodshot D out there that at least fit all you know, check all the boxes off like at home does so it's going to be a lot forum. And also you're going to have a bunch of other teams that going to be going after them. I see Philly like targeting them him especially with the way the decor is said they need to shore up their their place their spots even more cuz like they're one young but also they're letting in a lot of goals the Bruins. I'm sorry, you feel like Philly be even more desperate for a guy like that. But I think easily feeling a defense. He's the guy that the Bruins and a bunch of other contenders want.

Basically, he's not always in the ozone. So it's not like this. It's not like Sean kuraly who I think has a 19% in the offensive zone. It's depressing like that.

New Insights on the Bruins' Disappointing Week
"A great way for Bruins not a great week. I know they ended it on our early started next week Sunday. They started to walk on a good note, but not ending particularly. Well, there are a lot of problems. What was the biggest to you? Well, I mean, obviously the the one where you look at just the Optics of it right is the defense, right? I mean you give up 13 goals in two games. I think everyone get concerned about that and I think that's wrong. You see the right flag is you know, you're seeing way too many transition goals created chances in front of Rask and a lot, but the thing is is that that's always a concern. Oh shit. Like when you go that many goals. I'm sure not to spend learning but also, I mean I look at it right where I think we all are in agreement of the rooms and needs more depth on the blue. Looks like we've talked about at home last week. Like that's a guy they need right? So this isn't any surprise and when you missing three starters on your blue line, you know, including two guys in lausanne and Thursdays are good at kind of showing up that net front and girls like ew, you know as much as I think people are now the critics been hurt. I feel like there's like the The Narrative of like, oh they can they they can do well without them, you know, he's an injury-prone. Even though it's really only been kind of this year. We're didn't really really bad. But you know you miss Chris leak in his ability to get the puck out and you know, get the brake outgoing and hit those first passes cuz off these games have been stuck in their own Zone with for checking issues. So but you look at that defense, right you miss those three guys, you have back and iron in a top pairing roll and you know, yes potential. I mean we've seen multiple times we're out of something. He's big enough yet to handle some of these guys and he's been just kind of Knocked around by Chris Kreider which led to a goal. He got knocked around by Andrews Lee and pushed around which led to Chicago gets the island is so I mean you go to depleted decor and you know, you got drawn more playing like the minutes and he did not look very good. The last two games so wage. Obviously, you're shorthanded you hopefully you hope that a shorthand unit doesn't give up 13 goals, but still it's not expected. But you had to know that there was going to be some issues with your going to be giving birth. One more chance has given how the state of your Decor is. Now.

Could a Jack Eichel Trade Land Him With the Boston Bruins?
"You want to make a safe bet how about you bet every year around this point of the Season where Jack eichel is unhappy with the situation in Buffalo there every year. It's the annual Jack. Eichel is sick of Buffalo story, but probably won't actually get traded. Maybe this is finally the years but Buffalo continues to lose which I don't know why this is a surprise to him at least like just cuz my God what Taylor home exactly like to be I don't know maybe I guess when you're in that moment, you know when you're on that team you think wow, we just got so much better. But in reality you just got a better scoring Winger on one line. Like it's this isn't the NBA where like you acquire a player of Taylor Hall is Cal log. The NBA and it's like why we are a much better team in hockey. It is four lines and you obviously one score is not going to transform whole team. So Jack eichel is reportedly not super pleased with the losing an awful. Oh, I don't blame him that miss that situation looks miserable. So every time this happens the Jack eichel to the Boston Bruins rumors always like to get straightened up baby back wheels turning on that and I I am so here so here for the even though this like will never happen. There's a less than 2% chance. I'll give it a little chance. But but less than 2% chance this ever could actually happen equal to the Bruins, but you you astutely tweeted out Wednesday morning. Give me your best trade package for Jack eichel Chicago which prompted people to give off their best trade packages. Ron Jackson office a lot of compelling offers. I mean hitmon law, this is my favorite go figure Boston gets or Buffalo gets the Evan marinoff skier F boss gets Jacqueline Connor McDavid, and I said, I think the Prof gets more than just McDavid Michael. I think you might get puter off in there too. Well, here's the thing too. I mean Buffalo is in such disorder and disarray that you need not stabilizing presence there someone that's going to bring Authority and stop the shenanigans.

Should Ekholm Be the Bruins' Top Trade Target This Season?
"I will give you the floor to explain why Mattias ekholm is a great fit. Just thought I agree with you on pretty much most of these points. Yeah. I mean, I think you look at it even obviously the brand see some depth right now because you know, we could be in a situation where when the Bruins resume play on Thursday if Crews Lake is a barrel on healthy, you know, you could be a situation where you're another body away from a guy like, you know, Nick Woolf for Cooper's a cord jacket Sean getting calls up to be pressed juice. Service like this so not ideal from the government's perspective. But even if this whole left side was completely healthy when you had loads on Grizzly kinds of oral. I still think the proactive move for this team is to still acquire a proven top floor guy just to shore up that defense just turned it as overall security like one. There's the health risk, which you know, we remember what it was a few years ago in the Bruins played the song is in the playoffs and it was you know, Tommy Crofts and Joe Morrow and those guys like that was that was you know, garlic McEvoy. Yeah. We're trying to give it was, you know, averaging 23 minutes of ice-time mean that's the worst case scenario in terms of injuries. But also you just run the risk of you know, going into the playoffs and it's you know solid as low as on as looked, you know as promising as a moral has been you still running a whole bunch of risk, if you roll those guys out expecting them to kind of, you know, not deal with the bumps along the road with that comes with playing heavy minutes and a playoff setting against tough teams like the capitals or off. No Penguins Flyers. If you get past that, you know, the the lightning, you know, all these teams that are going to you know, bring it to you. So I think would you rather keep this defense which has been great like you can I think you can you can admit that. It's defense has exceeded expectations and they've been very good. We'll also acknowledging and being cognizant of the fact that if you want to go all in this year, you need more stability back there. So I think a guy like at home makes perfect sense of your the Bruins. I mean, he's thirty years old big body which looks like a lot of Bruins fans, right? Just thought you know, he's six four. Yeah 6 for 2:15, but he's not just also like a I wrote that he's not like a guy like maybe Brenden Dillon who the the capitals acquired last year whose, you know, six four big guy, but he's kind of a stay-at-home option. I mean not Combs a skilled defenseman back there. He's one of the best over the last couple of years at generating 5 and 5 offense, which you need like you suck. Which I didn't it's funny. I was reading your column. I didn't realize he was that high up with 515 offense until I read that that

She doesn't like it's going to happen or if it is it's going to be some different teams in what we expect wage. Going into it was Bruins flyers and then golden knights and the Avalanche and got the blues. I don't know why I said the blues. Yeah. Yeah. It's everyone's right stuff. Yeah, it is. You're right. You're right off of busy with the blues are busy paying playing the kind of like an extra free, So but no you look at it. Right. I mean the fly is I get we should knock on wood that took over, you know, when this podcast drops. Hopefully the Bruins don't have any issues because it seems like we have another outbreak starting in Philly where Drew Justin Braun I think trapped behind choice of these people are my fantasy team. I think what gets lost in this is these people are who cares what their health? It's my fantasy team. I know it's it's a rough hit the Evan paragraph but like, yes you go. Look at Philly their home of three guys. Now where there's smoke there's fire when it comes to these things that you have to imagine this probably going to be more they already postponed one game that Philly was going to play against the capital. So after monitor that situation not just for the Flyers birth Phle knock on wood. This wasn't a case for the Bruins were affected because the Bruins played Philly just last week. So you get the commander that and then we've got this absolute shitshow of a situation now in Vegas where they already shut things down for you know over a week when they had a few guys test positive and they play that game against Anaheim they hold out a guy after a second. Turns out. I think Frank seravalli said that whoever was it was held out tested positive which like why the hell was this guy playing so I love this whole pulling people out of games Midway through like it's going to have colpitis like like what is that? Just what like that doesn't help anything that already there. They've already been there and that was a situation to like Kevin Duran had that situation with the Nets where that was a case of fact, I think he was in close contact with someone who tested positive like this is even worse cuz there was a dude who was legitimately tested positive. So this guy was walking around her standing around rather like dead. Yeah, I mean Santa tell me it's you know, I don't think that it's going to be situation where the NHL is going to be like where we're shutting everything down for like a week or two if they going to do that yet, but they've got A Sneak there, you know, the testing protocols or what-have-you whether it's you know men dating rapid testing cuz I don't know how that Vegas player maybe is tests were inconclusive how he's allowed to play if they don't have his tests in yet. They don't have those results in yet. Like would you rather be safe than sorry that situation like it would suck. It's like just off of poor testing you may turn around. It's like the Bruins didn't have pasta or something just off of Adelaide test, but rather that up and then having a situation where you could have an outbreak on your team. So yeah, I mean I listen to Lake Tahoe things only it's less than two weeks away.

My name is Devon marinoff screen up against having a great great week surviving the snow which is coming down like crazy of late here at least in the Northeast. I know a lot of listeners from other parts of the country, you know lots Parts would love to hear where people are from who listen to this if you want to send me a message or tweet at me or you know, shoot me a message on Facebook page if you're not from the Northeast where you where you listed from cuz it's cool to see where people are we, you know make a map out of everybody but at any rate on this episode I had on Conor Ryan again, and I wanted to go deep on David pastrnak because I feel a lot of times. We just kind of accept that he's nasty but it's like well, what does it all mean? Why you know, what where does he rank among other top Bruins stars of the past 20 to 30 years and how does he rank in the city, you know is is he number one as he number two behind Jack? Tatum where Xander Bogaerts and that so we kind of get in to discussion on that in the value that a guy like Poshmark brings and just how rare a guy like this comes along and rejuvenates a team and rejuvenates a franchise. So we get into that quite a bit. We also discussed the Bruins loving comebacks. That's the new thing they love come back so we get into what that means for them. Potentially be nice big Stanley Cup favorite. I know it's early but I think we're 20% to the season. So we get into that obviously no real games to talk about concerning this to Savers games got canceled. So this is good or they got postponed at least, you know that it's good cuz we can catch up on other stuff and and talk about some other topics and then we get into what happens when girls that comes back in the lineup who who is the odd man out so to speak cuz I don't think there's a clear One Soul into that in this episode before we get into the episode first, make sure to go subscribe to Bruins ringside.

How Will Postponed Games Help The Boston Bruins?
"Bruins will be they will not have their upcoming games against the Buffalo Sabres both postponed due to Buffalo. Cobra late issues not bruised related issues. How do these poems postponed games affect the Bruins going forward? Well, if you want to look at the negatives first, which I think the only real negative there for the Bruins the fact that they're not going to you know, they're going to add those off to schedule later on when you already got a pretty compressed 56-game schedule like the last thing you want is to just kind of drop those games, you know in March April with the schedule really sets picking up there. So that's Thursday. The only drawback um and the immediate, you know, you look at losing those two games off the schedule probably helps the Bruins right? Because one obviously the priority it's not like this is an outbreak on the email. They didn't you know play a team that you're going to see guys also get held out cuz of, you know contact tracing or testing so the room starts your vote on that regard. But yeah losing those two games for right now seems like it's a I wouldn't say it's good fortune for the Bruins, but they definitely could use it right especially that that's Saturday game. If you play that Saturday home game against the Sabres you're looking at three games in four nights for this team and you look at you know, the amount of guys they already have on the Shelf with the bruskin grzelcyk and Kasha and stood Anika and you add in the fact that you know, they get through that Washington seriously doubt anyone getting really injure like put on the Shelf but held yeah. Yeah exactly, but you still got quite a few guys with bumps and bruises Bruce Cassidy said so the fact that song Um, you know, I'm Bruce Cassidy more or less said that you know, maybe they practiced on Saturday, maybe maybe Sunday but having you know, four days off without actual games is a good choice, you know a good break for the Bruins in terms of letting them rest of these guys who have taken maintenance days as of late. Plus it allows you then to rest a guy like Chris like in Nebraska who would be back pretty soon both guys already started skating at Warrior. So rather than you know, Rush those guys back or have to play know another two games against Buffalo without those guys in the lineup you could rest of those guys, you know work back at their own pace and potentially going to go back on the road again next week have all of a sudden your you know, your second pairing defenseman and your top six guy back in the lineup, so I'm obviously not ideal when you you're having games postponed due to covid-19.

"Whether there today. So let's get into a little debate here. It's funny going to the season two things that people said, you know, we're going to be these big issues and turned off to be non-issues the penalty-kill and power-play Charlie leaves penalty kills going to suck kruga leaves the power place going to suck and neither have been the case penalty-kill. I think that 92% Yes some 24 or 26, I believe twenty-four twenty-six and have two shorthanded goals Hillary Hillary all even they've scored two shorthanded goals and he's given up two power-play goals. So yes, so they're they're perfect. Pretty much this point and the power play has been great as well the power play is and and what's great and what you know, what's great for them is they the power play looks good. Like Jack looks good. They spend so much time in the office Zone. You look at the Penguins last night trying to break it out of Their Own Zone was was was a struggle but Conor Ryan, let me ask you age. What's a bigger surprise? The penalty-kill being as good as it is or the power play being as good as it is. I think I'm going to go with a PK just because I think people were freaking out about a power play Losing guy like Krug and losing a guy at least for the short-term and David pastrnak, but you still had a couple of big guns up front there. They were still going that are still have great chemistry together. They you have for Iran at the bumper. You have Marsh and operate on the wall at the elbow. I mean, it's kind of like the same situation was last year. We're Grizzly except in for crew who are dead. So he had to reinvent the wheel and do something crazy. It's like, all right, you hold on to the puck make sure you know, keep keep it in and feed it down low and you're probably going to get a good scoring chance and right now it seem like they're kind of doing it again a beeping simple. It's you still have those great passing sequences. You saw a brochure on the bumper. Obviously Richey's been a great surprise. But again, it's not like he's this River I wouldn't come like a revelation. He's been great in his birth. All but he's again as he said he's been he's been tapping in goals. He's he's doing what's expected of a guy in a net-front role as a big bar kind of like it. It's kind of like for those who play NHL it's kind of like in NHL 21 when you're a club with your friends and you're the worst one and all it is is just like your friends just say just go to the front of the net and you just Spam the shoot button down past. That's all you have to do. That's pretty much Nick Ritchie right now. So, I mean the the pieces are are rolling right now in terms of that top power-play not again, it's going to get even better. Once you have Pasta Max back there because even again the power plays looked good. They've had quite a few kind of quick-strike goals, but when you've got a good PK that structured having pastrnak with that, you know that one time we're going to left Circle. It's like a it's like a cheat code, right? Even the best. PK is sometimes can only do so much when he's got that shot lined up. So I mean they are rolling right now. But yeah, I think you look at the p k and again some it's a little bit skewer there twenty-four twenty-six granted. They've had two goals. They've given up like maybe Thursday..
