"Yeah, pretty badly for this. And final thing on today's agenda is very positive. Good things only good things. Patrice bergeron most likely out for a bit with a concussion. As the concussion being confirmed, Bruce Cassidy pretty much said that it's upper body involving his head, and he mentioned yesterday concussions water. Again, two and two together. And we know how Cassidy is with these kinds of things he's sitting there just like don't say concussions don't take a question don't think I should concussion. That's coming next. But you have bergeron out who's had a well-known history of concussions in his career and now out for probably a bit. So now you're out without Martian bergeron for not like one or two games, but could potentially be like over 5. You're gonna have a first line of coil, posternak and hall, and then a second line of Debra and Craig Smith and you got a weird thrown together lineup. But this bergeron thing, you know, he's up at the end of the year with a contract. Song great Evan. I mean, in the short term, it's awful, especially considering you're probably going to be without Martian. So we've already covered that of just not just two thirds of your top lines out of commission, but also that domino effect is just throwing everyone kind of in a state of limbo where you don't really know where guys are going to be slotted in. So that's awful. But then long term yeah, I mean, this is a guy who's had plenty of mileage over the course of his career, has had multiple issues with concussions in the past. So if you're a bergeron and you're taking a long look at the end of this year, whether you want to keep on doing this for another year or two and your prioritizing your health and being with your family and all these things, if I do another concussion at this point of his career, it's not great. You know, it's Bergen's still playing at an elite level. He's still probably the favorite to win the selkie again. Hopefully he actually gets put on the ballot this time by a few people. But still a legit franchise center he's playing like that, but even if his game is not slipped, if your bergeron who said multiple times, you know, you prioritize your health above all at this point. You have to take a long look at it, it's whether or not a thing like this, which was just an unfortunate kind of awkward fall into the boards, puts him on the shelf. Something that I think is absolutely creeps in the back of your mind when you have to start weighing those tough decisions about what the next step was moving forward. So again, not a lot of positives take out of the last 24 hours at all. After starting the day with all the bruins back from the all star break, everyone's healthy. We'll see what happens with rats, maybe he's back..

"Like that's sort of the issue is like doing stuff like that is cool in the moment and like assert your toughness, but the penguins won. And you're without Martian for the next 5, 6 games, probably 7. I mean, I don't even know. And it was in a garbage time stretch and a regular season game in February, right? It's not like there's like the luchi struck in over Ryan Miller or Martian using one of the sedans is like a punching bag in those things where it's just funny in that situation. It's an employee officer who's not going to like suspend him for that. But you look at just reading reading the room or just the situation of this team and the state of where they're at where you don't know if bergeron is going to be back. And again, yeah, they can kind of cruise through this stretch if you want to say that because they've got a pretty big gap between them and teams like Detroit and the islanders. But you also want this team to start feeling good about its game. And now you've got a situation where you're handing the keys over to swimming and Mark, you'd like to be for them to play better and at the very least if they're rolling through some of the ups and downs, at least getting wins along the way. It's one thing of like swimming is playing well and turns a corner, but it was still losing like two one game because your top lines, two thirds of it's out of commission. So I'm hoping that much, right? Like you still want to start feeling better about your game and now not just the fact that you're without your top two forwards on that top line, but now the whole rest of the domino effect is you've got guys a lot of order. We don't know whether it's Jack sneaker going to get called up is it Curtis our move to.

"Spends extra two months down in Providence, getting steady number one reps, and he's good to go next year. Sound like a pretty good idea. Pretty good plan. So as complicated as child as people make out the goalie situation as are the bruins walking that kind of tightrope, they make this move ten times out of ten again. If what the risk was, which wasn't a whole lot. Especially if it's going to be healthy and at that cost. I mean, again, if it was something like 3 million or three and a half or four, then that you can get into that. You knew this could have happened. But it's for league. What's the loss in this? I mean, you know, again, I don't see the horribleness of this. It's fine. As you said, low risk, high reward, and it was tiny risk, and it didn't work out. So be it. Speaking of things, it didn't work out. The Montreal Canadiens have reportedly just fired head coach Dominique ducharme. There goes that. That season continues to get better and better for them. That's terrific. Speaking of news that we're waiting on. And this will probably be like I think this podcast will be out and they will have already announced the suspension. They have not announced it yet. But Brad Marshall was offered in person hearing, which is like bad. Right? I mean, that's like, I guess. That's like if you are, if you get in trouble at school as a kid, and you have to either go to the principal's office or you get meet with a superintendent and your parents. That's okay. When the parents get called, then you are. Yeah. You are a real situation. So as people don't know, Martian punched jarry in the face, and then the ref was holding them back and he stuck his stick right in his chest. Right at the end of the game, where is the income? Garbage time, garbage happens. Damn it. Happen again. Whoops. Anyways, it feels like this is going to be over 5 games, right? I think so. I mean, it's not a guarantee that you're going to get 5 plus games of an in person hearing. But put two and two together, right? I mean, it's just a situation where the brooms are already. We're going to get into what another guy who's going to probably be over the next little while for the bruins, which at that point, Marshall was fully cognizant of the fact that Patrice bergeron exited that game, you need him out there. He's the next man up as your leader..

"But online, with a game stats. Stats and match. Yes. And people don't know. It's been an interesting couple of days on the podcast and the radio waves Evan. Yes, Connor was on touch from rich. It was a Tuesday. Tuesday morning. And you said march, you said it in your own way. And they immediately called you out for it, but it was good fun. It was great. It was all in jest. Someone as soon as I said it, I was like, fuck. I get that. You can always tell when it's a little bit. You're like, oh, there it is. Someone texted me because they were like, this is hilarious. And they know I obviously know you and they're like, does he? Like, talk like this all the time and I was like, yes. Yes. Again, I think it was important. I think they made a good distinction to that. It's an authentic one. It just slips out. You know, you know, that's how it usually is. So it's only if it's that certain month or it's a particular flyer's goaltender or something like that. That's when it really is. So you try to keep it contained, but every once in a while. A lot of people I went to UMass with who were on the outskirts of Boston. They were not fully in Boston, but they were on the outskirts. And they would get drunk and put on a Boston accent. And that was always the worst. That was as bad as it gets. There's nothing close to it. Almost as bad as a kid who used to talk in a Canadian accent while he watched hockey games, which was that is like a wide annoying. And it's furious at PEEP. It's very I had to leave the room many times. I'm going to watch this on my own. Just sounds like Mike Babcock. Unfortunate. Slamming the table too. Yes. Anyways, we wasn't hitting us..

"Talked about this before with most of our arguments where it seems like there's two very passionate sides to it. There should be a common answer in the middle, which is you should just be happy that you had Tim Thomas and Tuco rask back to back for close to two decades in that as you're steadying presence. And now again, who knows, maybe we'll be looking at this in May and Omar constraint of locked in and streaming your goalie the future. That's great. But if not, you're in for a rude awakening as to what Lee average or even above average goaltending is because you've had a leak goaltending for almost two for almost two decades now. Has any other team had this level of gold? And the only thing I can think of is the lightning with Ben bishop and then Andrea vasilevsky, that's the closest I can think of. One quest is just right now. Yeah, that's true. That is true. It does not happen often, though. No, and that's the thing. And I mean like with two goalies where you get two back to back like legit starters and Thomas kind of just came out of that was totally out of left field. We always do this where you kind of compare to different Boston athletes and rask, I think is one of the greats. I know people are gonna think, oh, you never want anything. Well, there's a lot of bus and athletes who didn't want anything. And the closest I can think of. And maybe I'm wrong about this. Maybe people can kind of dispute me on this. And there's only one area they differ. But it was Pedro. Because Pedro was dominant, DOM manned in his prime, had the 2013 Grady little leaves of men and then what did I say? Did I say 2003? 2014? Did you I don't even know. I said a different year than it was. But 2003 little doesn't take him out. And then in 2004, he has the rough outing against the Yankees at the end of winning. And you have that whole thing. But he seemed like someone who, I guess they could be comparable. They were elite. They couldn't win for a little while. And again, rasters on the doorstep numerous times, or at least twice. So weird legacy. Do you have any guys that you would compare him to? And plenty of guys over the years that have been fantastic that haven't didn't win. I mean, he's not the tier of Ted Williams, Republicans didn't win shit. You want to talk about that? Everyone's went to one World Series and hit what like one 90 in it, 'cause it was under $200. I think it was, which the greatest of it couldn't live, couldn't hit out of a shift. But I got a lot, there's gonna be a lot of pissed off comments if I do that, but I don't know. So if you want to start going to the rest, of course, below. We'll go back to the 1940s and 50s. But I digress. I digress. Yeah. All the old commenters here that I believe couldn't hit out of a shift. It's like in the 50s when bob.

"And welcome to poke the bear episode 82. The old Trent Frederick. The tread Frederick beating that bag out of Brandon tanev episode. I am ski. That is Connor Ryan Connor, what is up? Evan. I'm okay. How are you doing? Okay, only okay. What's the, it's a slow news day. So we're really going to be scrapping the bottom of the barrel here to get you guys some content for tonight's episode. So just okay. Just okay. Yeah. Not a lot to talk about today. And what's funny is all these things came out mid game and like a second. In the second period, I was actually doing work for NCAA dot com. Actually, I was in charge. They put me in charge for the night, which is bananas. And I was just kind of taking a look at Twitter they're in the game, taking a little break, and I saw the rask news. And I said, oh boy, mid game. Not great. Mid game. Yeah, that is a quite the time for that news to drop. Now granted, I was reported by fluid ocean salad the athletic. It's not like he's like, oh, I'm gonna wait till the end of the game. That's just a good wait. But you know so we'll jump right into it because this was gonna take up the first portion of today's show. I'm not shocked by it, and I'll tell you why I'm not shocked by it. The reason I'm not shocked by it is because it felt like when he, when swimming got called up to back to Boston when they were out west. Didn't you have that feeling like something's a little off? Something's off here. Is that the same feeling you got? Yeah. More or less. Not that I thought retirement is going to be at the top of the list, but it's not something where even with just a nagging thing where you or you're shaking the rust off. I still thought going into it. We talked about on brune's beat about our predictions that was going to get maybe 5 starts over this next kind of stretch here. You end up being right. He will pray at 5 sides, right? But did not expect it to be, again, a red flag in terms of retirement, but definitely sometimes worth monitoring because something that did seem off even when swinging first got called up. Yeah, and that was the thing. And I think, you know, again, he's not spoken. The bruins haven't said much about this yet, casty kind of said he'll leave that up to rask. But in his, from rask's perspective you're to think he's 34. He was probably playing against in the gaming as the ducks or the jets. And afterwards he sort of started to feel that pain. And he was like, you know what? Maybe this isn't as good. Remember after the Philly game, it was I feel great. You know, I felt great out there. I think this was more of a, I tweet something. I don't feel great. Why am I doing this? I was retired. What is the point to this?.

Daniel <Speech_Male> paye maybe? <Speech_Male> I <SpeakerChange> don't know, yeah. <Speech_Male> That's <Speech_Male> a <Speech_Male> degree. <Speech_Male> Not similar <Speech_Male> players obviously, <Speech_Male> but <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> Sean Thornton <Silence> played <SpeakerChange> for a few teams. <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> So <Speech_Male> those <Speech_Male> guys and not to say, <Speech_Male> this is kind of dismissive, <Speech_Male> but they <Speech_Male> grow on trees <Speech_Male> in a way, right? Like those <Speech_Male> guys always exist. <Speech_Male> There are plenty of them <Speech_Male> without NHL <Speech_Male> contracts right now. <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> But <Speech_Male> Portland <Speech_Male> home is <Speech_Male> probably a good example of <Speech_Male> the type of guy where <Speech_Male> lindholm <SpeakerChange> wasn't in <Speech_Male> the NHL <Speech_Male> for long, but <Speech_Male> <Speech_Male> you need those guys <Speech_Male> that can <Speech_Male> plug in and play <Speech_Male> at any given <Speech_Male> moment. And if you need them <Speech_Male> to play for a longer <Speech_Male> stretch of games when they play <Speech_Male> a longer stretch of games, <Speech_Male> they just need them <Speech_Male> one GameStop <Speech_Male> gap, then <Speech_Male> you're <SpeakerChange> like, Greg Mack, <Speech_Male> Greg Nick kegs <Speech_Male> Greg Michael. <Speech_Male> Great example. <Speech_Male> I think we might be <Speech_Male> a little better. I think colonel will be <Speech_Male> more of like a third liner. <Speech_Male> Yeah. We'll <Speech_Male> see. What's the <Speech_Male> ceiling <SpeakerChange> at this point? <Speech_Male> Yeah. <Speech_Male> That's what I would <Speech_Male> say. Unless he just pops <Speech_Male> off.

"Other guys on the shelf and you go into a game against Tampa, which granted already without Brad marchand, and you're missing more guys, and you can't plug in place, guys, like I said or esteem what have you. You're pretty much up the creek, right? Like it's not great for the situations right now. And thankfully so far, at least the birds seem to have avoided COVID outbreaks on the NHL roster, which you always concerned about when Cassidy tests positive and you're worried about that. But it shows you though just the domino effect of you and if you're farm system is dealing with it, it really limits what you can do with the NHL level. Yeah, no, it's not good. I mean, even Chris Kelly is in COVID protocol, right? So he can't even call him in. They can't even have him dressed as a fourth client center. Ridiculous. Ridiculous. So hopefully that ends up being okay within the next week and they kind of Dodge that bullet. But Brad marchand suspension three games, we both obviously think it was too much. It wasn't the right thing. But what's unfortunate is now that past kind of comes back into play. You know, he's the Brad marchand of old and look at Brad Marshall's dirty tricks again. How hard is it going to be for him to sort of get past this? I mean, I think it's going to stay with him for his entire career. I mean, you look at just the way he's played. Over the last couple of seasons and the fact that he said it pretty much a clean rap sheet in terms of what he's done, and he's elevated his game to go beyond what he's previously known for and establish himself as perhaps like the best top left wing in the game and went into like this happens and all of a sudden back to square one, right? Where you talk about all this stuff. And then he talks about the Panera and incident. Everyone's outraged about that again. Like it's all these things that I think it just shows that all it takes is one kind of incident in one kind of avenue to look back on his past ledger that brings it all back. So it's a tough situation for him. Granted, I think he's cognizant of the fact that a lot of it's of his own doing. You've got to look at what he did in the past, but I think for a guy like him who I think as he gets older has become very aware of his legacy and how he wants to be remembered, and he would much rather be remembered for being guy who elevated his game into being a top wing in today's game..

"Starts. Stats. Stats. Anyways, so that is that. And speaking of great bets though. Two girls is basically Boston Bruin. Yeah, it's like not even I don't even think this is gonna surprise you. During the during the Tuesday news dump of the entire day, if you could just walked into the media conference room, it would not have surprised me at all. If you just walked in, I got back. Here's a little fact paper that Michael Jordan sent when he came back to the bulls. When many Ramirez went to the Dodgers and he did that press conference she was like, I'm back. Yes. Yeah, it's the least surprising thing. Yes. I think I tweeted this. I think the biggest news of the week for the bruins was that kid hanging from the glass. That was incredible. True. That ruins fan moment there. Yes, that absolutely shows it. Postdoc throws a puck over the first of all, about the fact that the kids up there. It's just hanging from the glass in the first place. The dad's got him up there. And then the puck comes over. Obviously the kids are not catching it. And the dad just kind of abandons the sun, hanging it on the glass, you know, just hanging on for dear life. But that's an all time moment. I'm gladness and caught that. Yes. Things like that is great. Also glad the kid's okay. That's glad the kid hung on. All the puck. And he says, let's go. Also important. Also very important. But two grass is pretty much back. Sweeney almost confirmed that saying that if rask is feeling good and wants to sign, they will sign him. Raska said before that he wants to come back and only plays with the bruins. So like, I think the real question is what the money's gonna be. That's I think the only real question. And obviously then, what happens to all American excitement? Yeah. It's going to be very complicated to see how they kind of settle out that rotation. But in terms of you need them, yes, yes, you absolutely do need them right now. And it's one of those things where you look at the flaws of this bronze team and of course secondary scoring. It's been an issue for a long time. You solved it when David creechy and Taylor hall were in a line together, which helped out quite a bit. Now you're kind of back at school one there, but you look at another flaw of this team. It's got to be the fact that their goaltending has been the league average. The average. Yeah, not to say it's outright bad, but you look at so many of these, when you're a team that doesn't score a lot of goals, you're in a lot of these one goal games. Sometimes it's just a timely saver too that it's a difference between two points or zero points in the standings, right? So whether it be like the third period against the oilers or a few of these other games where they've got away from them, like say what you will about to go ask, but I think if you have him healthy and have to start the year, you go.

"Like that because like this is like saying that to like LeBron James or someone like that. Karmic David is far and away the best player in the league. You don't have the you don't have to pitch this battle, how you would defend garment David. Just take the L as many pro athletes have done going up against him for years now. My favorite's like, oh, Brian, scalabrine. I could just ask if a Y and it's like, no, you couldn't. How I know this? Brian scalabrine, fun fact. That'd be hilarious. Anyone could kick my ass in basketball. I played with my friends that like, you know, street ball, like a field near us, and I just get killed. I'm not meant for basketball. That's okay. But I believe, I don't know if he still does, but for a while, Brian's California was at the lifetime in Framingham. And used to play in a league there and dominate. It wasn't even close. Obviously, he was in the NBA. But it's funny though, McDavid. Like how much better he is than everybody. Like it's not even close. There's nobody like him. Nobody. It honestly is like Gretzky in the 80s. It's like Bobby or in the 70s, which speaking of things people always say, oh, Bobby or Gretzky, those guys played against scrubs. And it's like, no, no, actually, that's not fully the case. They're pretty damn good. They were pretty damn good. But McDavid is just obviously on a different level, different planet. Probably the greatest player ever skill wise at least. Points wise. He won't beat Gretzky's point record. But dawn was listen was writing. I read this this morning. That McDavid projects to go if everything goes right, you know, games, no injuries, points, stay the same. He's on pace to break 2000 points, which is nuts. That is pretty damn wild. And I swear, if he's not in the, and people always say, and I'm kind of rambling here, but it's also knowing people are like, oh, but he has no cups. And it's like, isn't he 24? Yeah. So have you seen the team? They've like saddled around him. Yes. I need to, and a lot of it is because of legit like two or three guys. So it's so funny to me how people try to make those excuses. But back to Nick felino, after a Connor David in the league, then there's Nick felino. That's how it works. He's back. And cast even mentioned with felino after Tuesday's game that felino is a guy who, when it comes to those full 60s, those fun full 60 minute games, felino's a big energy guy. You think he does that? Yeah, and, you know, Cassie kind of expanded on on a Wednesday too talking about how much they really value. And it makes you think that I wonder if Cassidy had any influence at all about wanting to assign him in the off season because he talked about just his impact. He just loves candy corn. That might be the real crux of it. But he talked quite a bit about felina, his impact in the room already, especially in the room that already has been entrenched by multiple veteran guys who've been here for a long time. But especially on the ice, the passion he brings, again, he may not be a guy especially now at this stage of his credit. He's going to fill up the stat sheet, but one of those guys who's impact, you can't really measure and there's no passion per 60 or anything like that..

"And I know felino kind of expects to play everywhere and do expect him to play everywhere, whether that's second line center at some point, whether that's third line center. Obviously guys get injured. So you're going to see him in a lot of different places. Maybe he's net front on the power play. So I think to that third line is optimized enough. And then the fourth line I think whoever's best coming out of camp, you know? I think no sec is going to be the one Saturday that line. They just paid Frederick a new contract. So you have to expect him to be on there somewhere. Just Chris Wagner on the right side. You know, I think Curtis Lazar is probably the favorite. I think we said it on last beat. Connor and I both did that the fourth line the ideal fourth line would be Frederick, no sec, and Curtis Lazar. That's great, but I do expect that to change the season goes along. I do love curse Lazar's play and I think he's out of that fourth line, probably going to be definitely a mainstay to start. So for me that fourth line is as good as it gets right now. But again, you're not Chris Wagner who's making good money, fighting it on that line, they're going to want to have him getting playing time. So he's another one. Again, that fourth line's going to be changing all the time. And then on D, I think Bruce looking mcavoy is the way to go with that first pairing. I do. And I think Mike Riley and Brennan Carlos, the hair to go on the second pairing. And then forbert and Clifton on the third pairing. But again, I think you're going to see forward with mcavoy to start. And they're going to see how that goes. I'm interested to see how it goes. But again, I think if we're talking Kevin as you said, your ideal lineup to get the best out of each player production wise, it's girls like a mcavoy. Like every stat proves that. That's not even debatable at this point. So I think those two would be the most ideal first pairing. But again, I'm in full support of putting forward with mcavoy in late game D zone draws. Obviously, penalty kills. You know, just defensively important moments. You would put those two on the ice together. And that would be fine. And then in that, I guess we'll go with, you're not really putting them on putting them on a line. But I think playing them equally helps both because against soybeans going to play a lot more than he did last year, no matter what. And a guy like Lena soil Mark, you're gonna get what you put into them, money wise. So I think they're gonna split time. I don't think that's gonna be like a defined starter or not. Obviously whoever starts game one will all be like, oh, that's the starter, but I guarantee you that it's probably gonna be very split. Throughout the season. Ty Anderson straight up.

"Three games to two in their best of seven, the Bruins hit the road for Game six against the Islanders tomorrow night at 7 30. Head coach Bruce Cassidy said today. Injured defenseman Brandon Carlo and Kevin Miller didn't travel with the team and he'll know tomorrow with Tuukka Rask will start the game. The coach was also fined $25,000 today for criticising officials after the team's game five lost last night. He was asked today about the fine. Usually When you get fined, you see something to the effect of embarrassing or a joke, and I didn't see any of that. I actually think those two officials are excellent officials.

"Guy you're going to love the feds great, Puck mover, but I do think that with with swimming in that, you know, but but again, it comes down to Rask's Health, you know, for the last month-and-a-half now rest seems to be healthy, but the last month and half Rask missed all that time. And even again, there was a moment in a recent game who was against, but they dumped the puck in and Roscoe's to get any knocks it down off the glass behind the net and comes back and he's holding his back. And it's like I think there is a concern there that that's going to continue and that's going to pop up and that's why you're going to see more swimming and I think that's the way it is. Absolutely valid to watch women to be tobacco. I don't think that that is like, oh God wrestling. Like I think one thing if if someone said who do you want in a playoff series swimming or lock, it would be swimming because, you know that he'll actually give you don't have locks to the million percent, a mediocre goal, you just make some really big saves, but he's going to let in some real soft ones and I like a lot going on, I guess, like I'm just saying, like I think there's so much more upside down. Play me, that's why I think, ultimately, this offseason. I would expect them to let halak walk and to just have swimming as to back up for next year and hopefully get Rask on a one or two-year deal. Do you think that's what I, that's what I would want to do and you're right man. Like I, you can't trust the back thing with Tuukka Rask. So you should have those guys as the guy's name that should be the, that's the one too and going forward. Absolutely. Ideally, I talked about this with a few people last Mount know, since women became a thing on a daily, you sign Rask for two years at between four and half and five million dollars a year..

Sabres Trade Hall to the Bruins for an Underwhelming Return
"Stumps were never super high on Taylor home after a few years in the league which is a viewer Observer thought was crazy but eventually you can't you just can't deny the fact. Again you can disagree with with teams and GM's not thinking that highly of Taylor Hall, but the proof is in the pudding every time he gets moved. So he gets moved for Adam Larson and that's a terrible trade anyway. But but yep. And so everyone's like wow, he got moved for that. Little, when he gets moved to Arizona, it's like, wow, was I forget was, was there not a like, he was a conditional first-round pick up, right? I believe it was right, but so you you're thinking, okay, it's going to be a ton of stuff and it really wasn't a huge huge deal. Then he becomes a free agent and obviously it's in the pandemic and he signs a 1.8 million dollar deal with the Sabres and I you I'm sure everybody is like Bruins what are you doing site? He's one year and eight million dollars to play for the freaking Sabres. Top that everybody should be trying to top it but they weren't then he gets moved at this deadline and Elliott Friedman comes out right after and he said he said since that Paul had to do with it with wanting to go to the Bruins and having to know move, but he's like the interest in Taylor Hall. Just wasn't as high as people thought it was going to be. Again you can disagree with them. But every time he moves, we all say, why is everyone so stupid? Why is that one? Giving up more for this guy but it's happening teams don't like Taylor Hall as much as we do,

I don't know if I know anybody now, you might have to check in with spoke Z to see if maybe he can verify what what I think of a good player but my head I don't have one. I don't have one. I don't I don't think that's a 37 37 on the Bruins. Mm. Can't think of one's escaping me at the moment. Yeah sister go back. We'll take it to Twitter and see if people can can help us out there. We'll see if people can think of a of a name but for now, oh Bruce borchardt might be one that might be the guy maybe I don't know maybe 36 or 66 know you're thinking of Marcus Smart. We had this conversation. Yeah, so that's right. That's right. It's all kind of Cloudy. Well, we'll Circle back we'll figure we'll figure out who a good number 37 for this but at any rate off, I'm in Marion off ski alongside conried a Boston Sports channel Connor how we doing? I'm doing very well. How you doing? Good. It was nice to see the Bruins, you know when it was when a game. Yeah before 2 in the third. The Devils I'm thinking I got every time I think the steam can't get lower they do but they didn't they pulled themselves out of it. They Charlie McAvoy Matt grzelcyk just went on an absolute tear at the end zone, but that game was now Tuesday night people will be listened to this on Thursdays. That'll be old news. And so he never really talked about games. We don't what's the what would you why would you talk about a game when it's pretty much like over and done with the next day. So I'm considering the schedule is also like every other day now until the end of time we've have a game so that stuff gets lost in the shuffle very quickly. It's so weird to have nights where there's no games since I'm like, oh, what am I going to do tonight? There's no Bruce Lee. Yeah. We're not going to sleep. I go to bed at a normal time.

"tuukka rask" Discussed on Bruins Beat
"By the way, the Bruins are five one and two so it's not like this is like a dying, you know, this Rascals not to be need to be traded, you know, but nevertheless these stats are not great hideout. Save percentage point seven six seven thirty eight among goalies with at least a hundred minutes played goals saved above-average negative 2.17. That's 39th. That's not great. He's only faced 26 High danger shots 5515. That's 20-second and the average gold distance is 27.56, which is 6 highest according to Natural stature. It's all according to Georgia. I know today is a very numbers have you show so that that's a lot for me as well. So you guys I feel you but should should we be worried should people be worried about Rask. I mean I do. I mean, I think you can again will be the rational take a verse here and say you can say that Tuukka Rask kind of bad gain on Saturday. I mean, he wasn't good tracking the park right? There was a couple of years. He's a couple of those goals really like oo not not too great. So but I mean you can also say that he didn't look good out there, but also not hit the full panic button yet, right. I mean the Bruins crank I've done a really good job as you said. Negating a lot of those High danger chances in there on the net when he's out there. But you know again to Grass Quan is usually pretty slow starter. Anyway how many times it's it's helped wage ruins having got like a lock where if he's in a little bit of rough to open the are you can turn to a Gala clock but again rats cuz usually pretty slow start out of the gate each season. And again, I think you look at you know, his playing overtime shootout. It's like it's not like it's a situation where if if a lot of these goals that you've been seeing from him were like the ones we saw on Saturday, it's you know, like a dump in or you know, a a shop like a low dangerous shot and some repeated issue then I'd be concerned but I'm not going to have you know, one game or off one situation like that kind of cloud what's better like again, he's not been all rolled as as you noted, but I don't think he's a situation where we get the panic button quite yet if he sucks loading up dead. Five goals and a couple of games or or these repeated kind of low danger chances. He wants sneaking through then then you have to be concerned you hope that it's not maybe a issue with his page where it's something that he tweaked and then it's kind of hampering them. Cuz when I first saw like especially that van Riemsdyk goal where he wasn't tracking while Mike just you just seemed off today, you know that some of you through be concerned about I'm not in the panic button yet, you know, obviously like.

"tuukka rask" Discussed on Bruins Beat
"The goal is Tuukka Rask. Jaroslav. Halak people are probably in the car listening like it took them this time Dimension how good they were but it's kind of expected it. I know one was like surprised by any of this Rask I think you know is the more encouraging one considering, you know, he's the starter pack and what it's funny when I was watching the games this weekend and I saw Matt Kalman right this, you know, the Bruins now have to sign Rask and I agree. I think they they have to re-sign rest. I think the number one reason you do wage is swimming invalid are already. Yeah, they're not and so like Rask has to come back Rask actually has to come back because you know, you can have signal. The day, you know, a lot of people say well, you know, Jordan binnington took it into the shop and it's under job and took a team to the cop and you know, all these Fringe starters young guys guys out of nowhere taking teams to come home. That's all well and good but the probability of that that you're going to hit on the guy who gets hot is so small. Why not stick with the probability of the guy who was Elite and has bought a good track record of going to The Cup Final. Yeah. I think that's also the thing is consistency like I mean, yeah Jordan help them when it caught but also what happened the next year we should his pants against Vancouver and how's it going off or getting actually lit up so and crew got all those defensive draws. Yeah. Yeah, we can talk about that another time. I guess once we have a longer sample size, but like Craig berube's am putting like Krug and you know only 20% ozone faceoffs just negligence on knowing what the players good at. Like, that's like, what are you doing? Idiot? Like why why you putting him in a dog? Like that where listen we we all love touring crew game, but we also I think the Bruins are well aware of how you can best make do with his his abilities and account for some of them is in his game if Craig Berube just having him on the PK everything him doing these own drawers like you get what's coming to you if you think that was the expectation going into it. So anyway, that's right. That's my thoughts with the blues and Jordans in each sucks. Yeah, you know, I think it makes so much sense for the Bruins and it's just you map out just they're they're planning net and it's just you know, swimming of the Dodgers aren't ready yet and as much as both those guys should hopefully be in a spot where they can get some reps down in Providence. Let's be frank like it's a 20-game 20-plus game a season. They're not going to get the workload that they both need. Especially Galax women to all sudden be ready for training camp next year to make a push for the NHL roster, right? That'd be pretty cool job. Not going to happen like Jeremy swimming's a fantastic goalie Prospect but 20 20 games in NHL which prize is going to end up being what 10:15 for him all in considered so I can be enough to make adjustments up to the pro ranks because we've seen plenty of goalies come from college who looks fantastic and then they just kind of don't really can't adjust to it not saying swimming's in that boat, but you need to see what these guys do in the Pro level before just dropping them in the NHL exactly. Same McIntyre. The number will actually name I thought of there but yeah, I think Rask has been great, but I don't think that's going to be a issue at all. And that's that's one thing that I think Bruins fans have become so comfortable.

Could this offseason be pivotal for Don Sweeney?
"Could be like if we want to go there this could be the second most pivotal offseason. Don Sweeney's tenure is Jim Morrison would be I mean, yeah, we obviously know what the the first one was some hits some misses I'll defend on Thursday and say people forget the meal music trade was was very solid but should it be his want this could be kind of the offseason wear off he shakes it up and there's been there's been little shit shaking in the Don Sweeney tenure really other than that 2015 offseason where he kind of came in and moved Hamilton moved Lucic got the Draft Picks 6 in the first two rounds. We all know the story there but dead. This could be like the next kind of version of that obviously not as big but like if you look at where the Bruins are, I mean what happens with Krug? What happens with Chara those to move up itself are pretty franchised altering. And then from there there's obviously been the the Rask rumors. I I wouldn't be surprised if something happened with Rask because we we should never be surprised by anything that happens with Rask anymore. And this point that's the case. This was like a weird enough year and obviously with it happened in the the postseason like There's so much uncertainty surrounding that player that that nothing that happens with him with surprise me. So yeah between Krug we think departing who knows what happens with Chara. I think the flu tone made a really great point that was sort of an obvious point that we've all been kind of sleeping on like it is possible that Chara reaches free agency and who knows if the Bruins have or anything with him maybe a team jumps in and they're like, hey, man, you're the missing piece like this is your what what we need and maybe yeah, maybe he just maybe he departs so possibilities are plentiful and I haven't even gotten to the Do they make like a real hockey trade? Do they trade Jake debrusk? They trade Brandon Carlo. My pie-in-the-sky thing that will never happen is like they find a way to make Carlos the centerpiece of a Patrick line a deal which financially and for other reasons just does not seem like something they would do but oh my God, I have been banging the table to get more scores on this team and if they found a way even if it's losing Carlo in an offseason where you also lose Krug, like imagine if I thought they had Patrick lyonnet David pastrnak and like imagine having three of the best goal scorers in the planet on your team
