I mean, you put them against the bergeron line, do you put them up against the check line? I finding that having the balance that they have is going to be huge. And you know, you mentioned the goaltender's Linus Omar had his hundredth career win against the islanders last week. And you know, I think that I just hate the term load management, but I think being able to manage his minutes in his games is so it's so nice to have swayman because if you just had either somebody who wasn't very good or even a guy like without picking on him, yaroslav, who was just older, right? And you don't want him playing back to backs or being able to lean on swayman to get all Mark ready for the playoffs. I think is such a nice benefit, a nice benefit that they have. Yeah, I totally agree with that. And it's going to be interesting on how on how it all works out when it comes to, you know, who's going to get majority of the stocks getting down to the postseason. You know, going back to your defense and so on, you're talking about more buying in more to the system.

We know lindholm, those can be, you know, world like defense back there. But this season would just seeing more shots, quality shots that are typical getting front presence. Is that much better? For those to receive those shots from the opas from the blue line, I just think that the way that it was like checking boxes, it really was. It's like we got to work on a defense and we need more support from the back end. We need more for my younger players like Jake de brusque and Trent Frederick. And look what we're seeing.

NHL-best Bruins edge Penguins in Winter Classic
"At the winter classic at Fenway Park, the Boston Bruins scored two third period goals, both by Jake de brusque to defeat the Pittsburgh penguins two to one. De brass first goal came 7 46 into the third and tied it at one. The second of the period in the game winner came with just two 24 left in regulation. I think it was actually just one of those things where it was just happened probably at a ten second time frame. I can't really remember. I mean, I remember being on the ground and seeing it in, but definitely was lucky on that one and happy to contribute. In net for the bruins, Linus Olmert made 25 C's and kept the bruins undefeated in regulation at home. Great cadets, Boston.

"So moving on to the lineup this year, I was looking ahead and, you know, we're focused on when creature might return when bergeron might return again. We recording this on Monday afternoon that has yet to happen. Don't yell at us. We're really not even covering centers in this. We're more looking at the wing pairings in the top 6, but lost in all these things. I think people kind of forget. Brad marchand is going to be out for quite a bit of time to begin the year. Not even like a month could be a month and a half, two months. Are they going to need it for that rough stretch they have in like November? But it kind of begs a question of who's going to be replacing him? Who is in the top 6 as wings? And you know, you look at you have Jake de brusque right now on the right side, but are you going to put him on the left? Where does Taylor hall go? David pasternak, where does he fit in? You also have Pavel zaka, who you just acquired, who I would imagine would go on the wings somewhere. But you know who else you got? And you wrote about him this weekend. You got Fabian lysol potentially. Battling for top 6 spots. So I look at those 5 and I say, those are the 5 candidates for the wings. Now again, we're not going to sit here and speculate. I would imagine it's burgers trying to create you down the middle. However, I do think if it is bergeron, I think you would probably roll with de brusque bergeron and maybe pasternak. Or if it's not, you know, let's say we're on a creation I'll come back. God forbid, then I guess who cares? Put us up there. Then I guess you would probably put hall with coil, even though that really didn't work out last year, but maybe something works this year in Montgomery. But what do you think? What do you look at early as the pairings for that? Yeah, I think I'd imagine with Martian though for a couple months at least. I imagine they probably put the brush back as usual squad I left wing, I think you look at the fact that he's here for right now. He's rescinded his tradeoff or he wants to get the ball rolling. I think he's excited to be under a new coach in Jim Montgomery. I think for the Bruin, it's all about, all right. You'll probably be right-wing later on this season once we get rolling in the second half, but let's start from start from scratch, start from a spot that you're comfortable in at left wing, top 6 minutes, and I have them rolling there. And then yeah, kind of just depends on I think what the configuration is and whether or not bergeron and creature are back because again, it's a good problem to have, whether it's past or not with bergeron, or it's pasternak, with trajectory, either one of those works. I have to imagine maybe if she's back, it's kind of part of the deal maybe of you get a lot more reps with posture not, which then leads to a vacancy at right wing, which as you said, it could be a guy like lysell, maybe if Craig smith's still here and you want to give him some early reps to get him rolling 'cause I think Craig Smith is one of those guys that if he starts slow, it's all about building up his game.

"Younger in the bottom 6. So I do think he will get another shot, which again, this is what three straight years now that they've been hoping that he's going to pan out. I'm also curious what sneaker gets as an RFA this off season. So cool idea if they were rebuilding, if they're going for it, not so much. Not so much. I know there are cap constrained, but I do think there are options you can do to get out of that. I think they tried, at least we'll try to exercise those options. This off season. Question from at Odysseus toro, what specific players will benefit the most out of Montgomery is the bottom 6 set in stone within house slash minor league players or is their need for UFA signings. What UFAs are realistically available. So best bet for who's going to play better under Montgomery. You know that when Brad Martian returns, he's probably going to be still an elite player. You know, you wonder how he's going to be after the surgery, but I do think he's still going to be the lead player posture to the same thing. Bergeron, you know, still going to be a top pairing top pairing. And number one, center. I think the best bet will be the younger players. The best bet I do believe will be the younger players. I mentioned to nika already, Trent fredericks and other Oscar Steen. For the roster regulars, I think it's safe to say Jake de brusque is due if they keep him if they do decide to keep him. I think he would be a guy who would benefit from a fresh voice. It was no secret that him and Cassidy did not harmonious. Credit to both of them for sticking it out the rest of the season. You know, the way that de bruss was able to play and Cassidy put him up on line one with Martian and bergeron. So clearly that worked out, but I think Jake depressed while a 100% benefit from a new coach, especially Galilee Montgomery, who was known as a players coach, known as a guy who's positive reinforcement and all those types of things..

"Today, we are doing end of season player grades. We are handing out our grades. We are the teachers where the professors, sitting here, handing out end of season grades is the only grades that matter. You have something coming soon for BS. You just released your grades, correct for BSA if I'm not mistaken? Yes, I release forwards over the weekend and then we'll have defensemen and coaches and upper management will be coming out on Tuesday. So when this podcast drops. This will include players. I did not include coaches or general managers and front office people I didn't include that. But we'll go kind of first line, second line, third line, fourth line, and then we'll go D goalies. We'll kind of run through it. And this is always fun. I don't remember what our grades were for everybody last year. Be interesting to kind of compare them. But for now, we got our grades for right now. So we'll start with the first line of Martian bergeron de brusque. I gave marchand an a and I get a good season, you know, for what he, what you expected out of him, what you got. Good season, nothing wrong with that. I give him an a, Patrice burgers, and I also give an a, right? I consider his age as a factor, I consider that he will most likely win his 5th selkie. This season, good all around with him, nothing that was bad a plus I think a plus is like just you go to another level of elite. And Martian version were amazing, but I would not sit here and be like, oh, they were so much better than they've ever been. Jake de brusque, this was a tougher one, gave a B plus. I gave Jake to brusca's solid B plus. Because I consider the first half of the year kind of not so great. And then after the trade request, he actually was pretty resilient. And after that contract extension it was pretty resilient. And again, he produced for you in the playoffs. So for me, I give him a B plus. Now, what would you give the guys on the first line? Yeah, I give Berger on an a, I think, as you said, I think it will be a crime. And just an unbearable stretch of the off season of bergeron does not win that 5th selkie. Whether it's the eye test of just seeing how great he is at disrupting plays, or something passes, all that stuff, or the underlying numbers, which if you want to delve into that, he had one of the best seasons defensively from a Ford since I think it was zetterberg and O 7 in terms of like I think goals above expected goals against in terms of what his numbers were..

"Where are the games stats? So interesting day, lots of things going on with media day. Jake de brusque was another big off season question. I think there's a lot of questions with this team because you have like, I think even like David post Trump, I consider to be like a question mark for next season..

"With a game, stats, stats, where the game starts. Okay, so we will get into, is this where we're on the topic of forwards and we kind of hit on it before. We'll get to debras. Objective Russ signs a two year extension 4 million per surprised a lot of people. Woke up to that because I was working very late the night before and I woke up to that. And I said, wow, this is going to be a freaking crazy day. And then nothing happened. Nothing happened. And that was it. But Jake de brusque signs this extension, his comments make it pretty clear he spoke after the Montreal game on Monday, make it pretty clear he's bought in. And I think again, this is an instance where there's a lot in this for him, too. Because again, he wants to get traded and the team who he wants to be traded from. It needs to trade him for a good package, which means he needs to play well. So again, I think it really comes down to him being at his best and it seems like he's pretty bought in. Yeah, I think for as uncomfortable awkward of a situation as this can be, especially one where this trade request has been one, it's been standing since last summer, and also you've got a situation where it became public and November. So this has been going on for a while. The fact that de brusque has been pretty candid now that he's speaking to the media about it. It doesn't seem like it's an issue in the room, what have you? It seems like everyone's kind of taken they're not the high road, but the browsers have been at least a good soldier. It seems in terms of he reads what the situation is. There's extension, even though the bruins ideally would have probably liked to have traded him..

"I think he had another good game recently. I think afterwards Bruce Bruce wrote was like, yeah, he's the leader, one of the leaders of this team, we want to have him here. So I could see them keeping him. And if Vancouver can't get it together next year and they fall off again, then you deal. He's still under contract for a year. So I don't think Miller is getting moved. So besser is the first guy they've prioritized. Yeah, it makes sense because you're probably moving to brass, or at least they want to, and you define someone to slot in there on that top line. But I think for besser, I guess we can look probably first at the actual production. I think he's got 33 points on the year, not too bad. However, out of those 33 points, 13 of them were at a 5 on 5 play. And this is granted a few days ago. So he might have had a game or two since then, but 33 is 34 at this point. Not drastic. But out of those 33 points, 13 of them came at 5 on 5 play. Which is not great. If you looked at at the time, I posted this story on Monday, 13 5 and 5 points. What I think be 11th on the bruins right now, which is not great. That's good. Guys like, I think de brusca is 19 5 one 5 points. Craig Smith is 18. Matt grizzly has more 5 one 5 points. Burning Carlo has ten, which having three more than that is not great. And I believe Curtis Lazar has 12. So Brock besser top 6 forward, it has one more 5 and 5 point in Curtis holes are. Again, you could make the argument that you put better with birds on a Martian, probably evens out. He'll get a spike in production. True, but he also he's been a top 6 guy for Vancouver for a couple of years now. And it's not like he's had random guys up there of whether it's Miller, pedersen, all those guys. They've got talent on that on that Vancouver team. So the 5 O 5 productions pretty worrisome in terms of that. But then I think you have to look at that contract. And the cap flexibility and what have you, because we've talked about it before with Jake de brusque, why some teams probably hesitant to trade for him, even though his baseline productions there. It's that contract, whether it's the $4.4 million qualifying offer or just the headache of acquiring this guy with up and down production having to work on whatever that new contract is..

"But I think the biggest development of that road trip for me. And we'll get to flaming later. Because he was outstanding. And I think we'll get to him in a bit. But to me, the biggest thing was your priority of the trade deadline up front may have changed. It may have changed. It looks like it has changed. In the sense that up until that road trip it was they need a second line center. You know, they could use a winger, you know, what can you get for brusque, see what you can get there, but they need a second line center. And the big thing to come out of this road trip for me was your third line worked, Charlie Coyle next to Craig Smith that seems like they want to keep Smith next to Coyle Smith started scoring a ton at the end. Again, that road trip was so good you got hat tricks out into brusque, Craig Smith, Eric all had 8 points. So your third line seems to be working. It's hard to stay long term, but it works for now. Your second line with all impostor knock is really connecting. Hala is working in between them. So it really comes down to the first line right wing spot. It feels like that's now kind of the move to make. Yeah, no, especially if Jake gross is the guy that's going to be moving out, right? And we've talked about this before. I believe we discussed it on poke the bear that, yeah, you could keep Jake de brusque past the deadline if you don't really feel like you have an offer that's worth moving him for, but what happens if you get past march 21st and he's still here and he's upset or dragging his feet because again this is a guy who thought he was probably going to get moved in November, December and he still had passed a.

"Anyways, the bruins though continued to play. And they've been looking good. They've been looking a lot better. And no one has looked better over their past 6 games. And one Jake de brusque, who is not someone I would expect to be saying. I would not even be saying that now. I didn't expect him to still be on the bruins now. 7 goals to assist last 6 games. He has been on a tear. The big question is running to brusque though and he's finally spoken to the media is when will he be traded? Can he be traded in his trade request still out there? Now the athletic has reported that the trade request is still there. Direct hasn't said it himself as agent said it. But to the bruins have to trade him because he's starting to look pretty damn good. They don't have to trade him and it's one of those things where, of course, you kind of map out this scenario and yeah, I agree with you, Evan, that I think we're all in the same boat that when that trade request went public back in November, we didn't think would be here on recording today on March 3rd. And he would still be here, right? But just because that trade request is still in play. And of course, this right now is working on great for the bruins that they've held on to them and he's really producing right now. It's not like they moved him for pennies on the dollar back in December or January when he wasn't playing that well. But I think the notion that, all right, he's squid a bunch of goals in short order. He's looking pretty good on that top line with Berger and a marchand. The correlation that that means all of a sudden don't Sweeney is going to come out of this with a first round pick or a legit one for one swap for another impact player. I don't really think that's the case. We'll do the bruins want to move to brusque. I think so I think they want to facilitate this move and get something in return back from him, but they don't have to right now at this moment..

"Not really going along with that. I get paid this summer. So I mean, who knows if those guys are off the board and it comes down to whether or not you want to get into a bidding war with the avalanche for Giroux for a guy that's not part of your long-term plans. Maybe then you pivot and then get a goal and as you said and you roll with that as you're a more balanced forward core for this year. And then who knows, maybe next year, bergeron, bergeron is still on board, then you do go into a, you try to get a bidding war for hurdle in the off season, what have you? There's other ways they can kind of build off of it. So it's definitely a good way to pivot of the brooms don't really have a legit guy down the middle if they can acquire the deadline. I think that's what I don't think Garland is the number one target, but if you got to switch gears and the guys you want aren't there. There's at least other ways you can improve this roster by targeting other areas of that forward core. It's kind of sounds like a worst case scenario in a sense. It's not near the top of things they want to do. I think it's just going to be kind of like, oh, if these first couple plans don't work, we'll go for a top 6 right where like a Connor Garland. Worst case scenarios they get like least of neck or something like that. Like on a Garland still a good player, but it's not the only step out. Yeah. They bring the petrol back. We happy. He'll be the only person happy but we said that coming back. And Brian giant. You know, just get everybody going. Speaking of trade pieces. What kind of hit on this quickly Jake de brusque still with the bruins has not spoken to the media since obviously his trade request back in late November, which now obviously he's been in there forever. They've needed them with these injuries and suspensions. So it's not like he's just kind of taken up space. He is playing. But I found something interesting. Flute ocean is the athletic ranked his 15 pieces that could be that could move for the deadline for the bruins. And the brusque was 14 out of 15. And I feel like that's dropped. I granted it, I don't think Pluto made a list of 15 back in November when Derek might have been higher. But to rusk is 14 and he's behind Trevor kunta and Jacob lauko and Oscar Steen and Johnny beecher and these some of these other guys. And it feels like the Bros might be a little higher than that. It just because these in the NHL, he's shown that potential before. They know he wants out. I'm kind of surprised to see him down that low..

"Welcome in to poke bear episode 74. Connor episode 74. The brusque episode. The Jake de brusque episode. I'm innovative. That is kind of Ryan Connor. What is up? Evan, I'm doing okay. How you doing? I'm doing well. You actually kind of like beat the bruins in a sense. Like, you had COVID before everybody else did. So you were kind of like ahead of the curb, in a sense. You were trending before. You were like kind of a hipster on this. All things considered I was like, probably one of the safer people attending that game on Tuesday against Vegas. So I can't say the same for most other people in the building, but at least for me I was in the clear, but yeah, not great right now, Evan. It's going to be one it's a situation where a lot of news going on, so by the time this drops tomorrow, it could be drastically different from what goes on, which usually we catch flak for it being a situation where it's like, all right, recording like before a game and a lot of the narratives changed. I think last week we were talking about like, well, we'll see if like Omar can do well who knows and then he rides off like two wins on the road. So we'll see what happens because I assume people all know what we're going to be talking about today and who knows where the balloons are actually going to look like tomorrow. Yeah, and also the other thing was last week we thought that this episode might be the one that Jake gets traded and we were pumped because episode 74. And if that happens, if Jake jab rusk is traded, which I don't imagine that will happen because of the COVID situation. But if he was traded after we recorded this, I would throw my laptop against the wall and just wouldn't be a good thing. And the listeners would all be in the same boat..

Hopefully enjoying the Christmas season or the holiday season, whatever you celebrate, enjoying it. I know the prunes are enjoying it because they just went 5 for 6 on points out west. And that was what we spent a lot of today's episode discussing me and Logan Mullen Logan from nested dot com was back. But we discussed that. And we also discussed the goaltending because it's getting better just as tuca rask is looking to return. So interesting timing on that one. Wouldn't you say? And then we also get into some lineup decisions in the bottom 6, including Jake de brusque and when we think that'll happen. Clock's ticking. And we get into why the clock is ticking. In this episode, make sure to go support our sponsors bet online and answer and without further ado, here's my conversation. With Logan Mullen. And we're here with Logan Mullen, Logan, what is up? Not a whole lot. What to do with you? Nothing, nothing's doing over here either. It's a quiet beginning of the week. We haven't seen each other in quite a while. Bruins obviously we have not. You've not been on for a few weeks. How was your, I don't know, were you here? You were here before Thanksgiving, I think. So I assume you get in the Christmas spirit a little bit. I see the Christmas tree behind you. Yep. I like Christmas. I like that I like the vibe. I like the music. This tree over my shoulder, what's the wrong way? That off to an awful start. Yeah, I like Christmas. I'm just vibing. Yeah, no, Christmas is one of those holidays. I love because it's such a fun time of year, but the one thing about Christmas is once December 26th hits, I'm done. I don't want any more of it. Put all the stuff away. I don't want to hear the music. I just want it gone. And then we hit like the dog days of winter. So it's just kind of like, let me just, let me take this all in. Let me get ready for January and February when it's just cold and there's nothing to really look forward to. So but anyways, for bruins fans the past week or so has been pretty good, which we haven't set a ton this year. They take 5 of 6 points in this western roads when without Bruce Cassidy mind you. Yeah. From the trip, I gotta say I was not after that Vancouver shutout loss or shootout loss. I was thinking to myself, oh man, you have the oilers and you got the bad quick. It could have got really bad, but it didn't. It did not go so bad..

I do enjoy a good T-shirt and they are certainly good t-shirts. Okay, so we have discussed Martian. Can't carry them forever. We've discussed the deadline. Now, the depth scoring has been a legitimate issue. Nick felino has been solid aside from just scoring. He's been good, right? Good on the net front of the power plays. Donna's job. But two guys who have not been there, particularly of late is Eric hall and Jake de brusque. And it's funny I was going back and rewatching some of the points of the rangers game on Black Friday. And the two goals that Eric holla was out for. Against. And it was just like, dude. What kind of defense is that? I haven't seen a Bruin do that. In a long time. And I don't know. Again, I mean, hala is a guy that you're counting on to potentially put up some points, not crazy points, obviously, but enough just, you know, make that third line usable. And Jake de brus again has been kind of invisible. What's got to change with those guys? It's so hard because you saw how well trek forever played down the middle there with them. And it's like, wow, like that's how you should be playing. And so it's so tough to say because dubrow did have a solid view gains, like we were talking about how good of a preseason he had, and he just can't seem to put it together for long stretches. Like we know he's a truly player. We know that. But still, it's so hard to say, like, what's going wrong with them? Because they look so good in pre season, but maybe it's just teams figuring them out a.

"He's, you know, guy that gives you 1520 goals, 40 points, and I have a very least just passes the eye test more of playing the game that we know the rust can play of, you know, bring pucks download generating grade a chances, you know, being effective on the forehead being present on the ice. You know, just being noticeable on every shift, that can go a long way just towards making him more of an effective third line guide. And we've seen in years past, almost every team has gone on deep brunt needs everyone pulling in the same direction, but especially need a third line. It's very impactful that can take advantage of the matchup syrup against can impact play. Look at Tampa last year not to compare what they had with the brooms have, which we don't really know exactly how they all gel, but having to get back to some sort of level to what he was in years past can go a long way, especially in that third line where how is an intriguing guy felino stanica? Guessing you gotta finish plays and diversify your best option there. You know, you can forge a you can hold on to the puck, all that. If you haven't got it, bearing chances. It's not gonna mean much in the final school board. So I think having to brush back there. Hopefully getting a bounce back here. He's probably the guy that look as being maybe the most intriguing wild card and that I think that the wine how effective they can be in terms of those baseline stats that the other day of what people all really care about. He's going to be the guy that impacts at the most basin his ability to finish those scoring chances. I can't think of a person who needs to score a goal in the first two games more than Jake de brusque. If Jake to Ross can find a way to score a goal in game one or two of the season, I think he's going to be much better off..

"The only way it doesn't help is if one is game doesn't improve during preseason and he's relegated to, again, kind of that no man's land I talked about before where he's a great top top line forward in Providence, but it's the NHL and what kind of Izzy, right? Is he kind of those fringe players? Is he gonna be a guy that gets 9 minutes and 40 seconds of ice time per game? That's the worst case scenario. It's almost like when you're a team that, you know, you either want to go for a championship or you want to completely blow it up. You don't want to be in that no man's land of not good enough to maybe maybe make a late season push, but you also not bad enough that you're gonna get a good draft pick. Well, you don't want to be in that gray no man's land area. So that'd be the worst case scenario for the bruins in terms of what they're expecting at a guy like tonika. So either one, whichever way it works out where he is able to pop and become a legit potential middle 6 guy works out for the bronze and some regard. As long as he produces you're fine. I also think you mentioned the Thomas hurdle thing. I mean, that would be a great place for Sydney code, San Jose. When you think about it, I mean, that's a team that has to be rebuilding doesn't have a lot of cap space or not as much, I think that like to have given the bad contracts that team is riddled with. Sneak is not a bad contract. You're not making a ton. And there's places from to play on in that lineup. And again, this is looking very forward, but let's say you were the bruins, then you need hurdle. And that's a guy you know you can re sign and you can have is a top 6 centerman, whether it's on the first line of the second line for years to come. A package headlined by tanika and another prospect or another draft pick, maybe that saves you a first round pick. That's a good thing to have. That's not bad. So I think that's also another realm. I mean, as you put it best, just produce. Just improve. That's all he needs to do. That's all the prunes need him to do. Whether they want to keep him as a filling on the second line on the second line or the third line, whatever it is, that's great. But as long as he's producing, that's fine. Speaking of people who are producing, and speaking of people whose value has gone down in recent years, Jake dub. Jake de brusque, Bruce Cassidy open camp on Wednesday saying that him and debras had a conversation at the end of last year, talking about how they were going to move on and move past this. This is kind of a we'll see. We'll believe it when we see it type of scenario. I don't think this is something that, you know, we're going to be like, man, to brusk is looking incredible and training camp..

"So Cassie's mentioned multiple times that he's the third line left winger. I think you need to keep him in that spot. That's where he's most comfortable. That's where he's generating the most production. So even if it's not a top 6 roll with creatine out. If he's able to give you 1520 goals in that third line, add some much needed secondary scoring. It's a good opportunity for him, and if he plays well, one raises his stock for a new contract next year. And you look at how important that role is, it's not a top 6 role like it was in years past, but you're still a very important piece of this team on the third line. You need as much as and howler intriguing candidates using the guy who they can bury the puck and add secondary scoring. And most like it's going to fall into rust kind of fill that role in that third line that as intriguing as it is, we really don't know that much about right now, how they're going to function. Yes, what makes you a little apprehensive with the brusque? Because obviously you mentioned kind of setting the bar low for a good season from this year. It's tough after last year because I really thought in 1920 that was his quote unquote down here. And I said, well, you know, he's on a bridge deal. He's gonna fight back so hard. Have a much better year in 20 21. And it didn't happen. And obviously the circumstances you mentioned with COVID and the having to basically isolate yourself all the time. Don't exactly help. And definitely will be something that will be lifted off from this year. But I just, it's apprehensive, you know, I remember had some about it in a sense. Can I really pencil him down for certainly a bounce back? I mean, again, you look at just this page 5 goals, 14 points, 41 games. I expect him to have a lot more than that. And again, a lot more as you said his 15 goals, 20 goals. And even just being noticeable. I mean, how many times last year, did you finish covering a game? And you think to yourself, oh yeah, Jake depressed. Did you first played? Like you almost didn't notice him using visible out there. So he's one that I'm a little apprehensive about. You know, after my big prediction last year, a little upright spot on this year. Another thing was Mercer and Jimmy, old friend of the show tweeted, what would NHL on Nick look like? And I thought I had a pretty accurate tweet about this. I said Jake de brusque has MVP written all over him. Jake rusk would be like the prototypical Nickelodeon most valuable player or whatever that is. We gave Mitch trubisky. Absolutely could see Jake breastfeeding like slimed or like loving it, you know?.
