Full Transcript for Same Seats Episode 35 | BREAKING NEWS & Happy New Year

all. Because they got rid of Lorenz, too, who's a really good bottom six guy. And they grabbed like Mars Leacins and Miles Wood, who they waived. Like Marchenk-no: Yeah, I l I love Miles Woody's game though. So I like I don't and but I I see your point on it. I'm more just saying like I I it's it's a bizarre move. I I think it's so weird, but I think that this general manager, he saw what happened with what's his nuts that went to f Pittsburgh Dubas and he's like, I'm on the clock immediately. Like hot seat immediately. This this we we were second in revenue generated and we haven't won a cup in like six literally sixty years or something like that. Capt: Be another sixty. Marchenk-no: Yeah, so I don't know. They're they're they're a loser franchise. They always will be. And they made another loser move. Twelve and a half, yes, I agree. The cap is going up. Everyone loves that's like the new like like whammy button that everyone loves to slap. Like doesn't matter, cap's going up. The cap is the cap is going up. But like Capt: Did you see the projections? Marchenk-no: Yeah, but like we're talking like twenty twenty nine. We're two years away. Capt: Yeah. a good point. 84-0: I'll tell you what Frazier Minton's gonna look like an absolute deal when that cap Marchenk-no: Yes. 84-0: reaches that number. Capt: You mean Pavel? Marchenk-no: Ha ha. Capt: Pavel Minton? Franz Pavel Minton? Marchenk-no: Well, the I actually have it right here. So in the second three second of a three season agreement that's sent to ceiling to records level, this year's number is one four, next year's is one hundred thirteen and will climb to one one twenty seven point five, I think by like twenty twenty nine area. So yes, I I agree. Yeah. Capt: And then I'll go to 150. I saw that projection. That was insane. That's a massive jump. Marchenk-no: Yeah. I don't know. I I listen, I I think that this is a little bit of loser talk because I like was pretty close to like crying for Marchenko to be on the Bruins. But I think like if you have a guy that is so like against the team for real realistically no reason, like right, he's getting top six minutes, power play time. Capt: Do you want Marchenk-no: yeah, like Columbus, Columbus didn't they make the playoffs like Not maybe not last year, but the year but they were close last year. They just kind of fell off. But they don't have a bad team. They have a top three defensemen in the league. And it's a it's evidently, to your point last week, Dave, it's a fairly good place to play. so I I don't know. Like it sounds like he might be a bad guy. I don't know. Capt: I was thinking that like I don't know this guy from a hole in the wall. If he's throwing this stinking Columbus, think about the shit Marchenk-no: Ha ha Capt: sandwiches that are gonna be consumed in Toronto. My god, Marchenk-no: my god. Capt: this guy's gonna go back to Mother Russia and just like hang out in the Far East and just do nothing. Like, he's gonna get hackled. Marchenk-no: Such a good point. Capt: I don't know. If you can't handle in Columbus, good luck in Toronto, Chuck. Marchenk-no: my god. Talk about two work. 84-0: Was he really like having a a tough time with the media in Columbus, do you think though? Capt: I mean, he just didn't want to be there and he made it abundantly known. Like, imagine if he did that in Toronto. He'd be like tarred and feathered. Marchenk-no: Yes. I don't yes. Capt: Like you'd be paraded through the streets as if it was ancient Rome. Marchenk-no: Yeah. He is gonna have a spotlight on him. And I I saw someone throw out their top six. It like they act like it's like the next coming of Christ. It's like it's the same old song and dance every so like to they're they're still putting Tavarres in the top six. Tavaras is Elias he 84-0: I forgot he was still on their team. Marchenk-no: has Elias Lindholm speed. Like yeah, he's he's a good player, but like don't act like he's the forty goal scorer he was. Capt: We can't open up that can of worms just yet on Mr. Elias. Marchenk-no: Dave, you said you 84-0: So Marchenk-no: said go ahead. 84-0: just overall, how how much do we think this trade affects Bruin's life? Because I don't I don't think as a Bees fan I'm ready to give up Franzi Boy, Hagen's, or the Dean Pot. Capt: I'd say it positively impacts us as Bruins fans. Marchenk-no: Yeah. 84-0: I think it's a good non move. I think it's a good non trade. Sorry, the camera. Marchenk-no: Yeah, it's it's if Franz if Franz was like a right wing for whatever reason and this worked out, like I don't know. I I don't think I would have been so upset, but it seems as though the center position is a is something that everyone needs the most right now, and I'm not willing to to shell out a a center. Who's got the who's got the original typewriter going? 84-0: Dave, you you typing out an email there. Capt: You like that? 84-0: All right, some s I know. Capt: Jeez, I'm just trying to get active in the chat. It sounds like Mike's on Pluto. Marchenk-no: Yeah. Capt: I did have some some big news while 84-0 84-0: I know I don't I don't know what happened here. Sorry. Capt: figures out his setup here. Marchenk-no: Yeah. Hit me, Dave. Capt: Mike, can you still hear me? Give me a thumbs up. This is great radio. Marchenk-no: Mm-hmm. Capt: Love it. breaking moves. The same seats boys have been approved for NHL credentials. Marchenk-no: What? 84-0: Get the fuck out of here. Capt: We have been approved. Uncle Brian, tip of the cap to you. We are in the portal. Marchenk-no: Holy shit. Capt: We need to take some photos. And here's the email. Marchenk-no: hell yeah. Capt: Hello, Brian Cameron. You are approved. Marchenk-no: let's go. That's huge. Capt: Massive for the program. Marchenk-no: You know what? 84-0: Here. Marchenk-no: I'll I'll give a shout out. Plauta texted me the other day and he had asked if we were approved and it kind of initiated that set 'cause I think you gave it a run towards the end of

last year, right? Capt: With the bees, yeah, and they big timed us. Marchenk-no: Yeah. So I I was like, you know what, we haven't tried in a little bit and I mean it's like we're we've made a little bit of traction. So I was like, you what, I'll just throw my hat in the ring and look at that. That's huge. Capt: What a world. What a world. Great work by you, B Cam. but yeah, I I remember Marchenk-no: Holy cow. Capt: you texting me earlier in the week. You're like, yeah, check the email. And I can only get to the email on this computer. So I haven't checked and I was like, you know what? I should like take a peek before we jump on. Like I might have peed Marchenk-no: that's huge. I did not expect that. Capt: a little bit when I saw it. I was like, this is incredible. 84-0: Alright, can you guys hear me better now? All Marchenk-no: That's unbelievable. Yeah. Better. Capt: Yeah. 84-0: right, Dave, so what's the news? No, I'm just kidding. That's unreal. Capt: Welcome to the program. Marchenk-no: Let's go. 84-0: I I Subaru Twitter has to be shaking in their boots. Capt: If we're boots on the ground, good luck. 84-0: Good luck. No cheering in the press box. Live from center ice. Capt: We're coming for you. So what what does this mean Marchenk-no: Yeah. Capt: for us though, BCM? I haven't done a lot of research on it. I literally just saw the email and I just saw put put our email in and I put a password in. Marchenk-no: Mm-hmm. Capt: so what does this mean for us? Marchenk-no: we're gonna have to learn about it. I'm not I'm not entirely Capt: Okay, great. Marchenk-no: not entirely sure. But we will find out. We we certainly will find out. does that mean that we're we're asking questions on on the podium? I don't know. It could be. It it certainly could be. So Capt: Bring the pen, bring the bring the pad. Let's go to work, boys. 84-0: I have a question. We may have to read the handbook and familiarize ourselves because as seemingly quickly we did get credentialed, we don't want to lose them. But we need Marchenk-no: Yep, seriously. Yep. Capt: Facts. 84-0: to stay we need to have our integral values to our fans of delivering steaming hot Bruins news and takes. We did break the I don't want to segue this quick, but we did break the captain's story as well, first, a as we all saw Marchenk-no: We did. 84-0: on Twitter. Marchenk-no: Yep. Agreed. Capt: True. No one gave us credit. I'm in the I'm in the pool here 84-0: But but before we get there, before Capt: though. Hold on. But Talk with our hands. This looks like we have dibs on the Heritage Classic. We just need to get approved for it. Marchenk-no: Is this like a background 84-0: What do you mean? Marchenk-no: check or is this like a Capt: No, I don't know. We gotta like again, great, great radio. It's we need to apply essentially. 84-0: Well this is good, we're all finding out together here. Didn't we already apply? Marchenk-no: Do we get better tick do we get better tickets if we have someone that is in

security for their real time job? Because then you can do double time Mikey for for the heritage classes and and then me and Dave can enjoy the game and we get better tickets. That could be 84-0: Who do you think I do security for? The Bruins Marchenk-no: No. I'm just saying we could double time it. Capt: Not yet. I mean, this is incredible. We're gonna have to look into this more and see what the deal is here, boys, but Marchenk-no: Yeah. I don't I actually have to look. I have no idea. Capt: but this is incredible. Great work, map massive accomplishment for for us here going into the second season. 84-0: Let's get some stick taps. Capt: Yeah. Marchenk-no: What do you think our betting odds were heading into that? 'Cause Alexa, Capt: Ooh. Marchenk-no: I have a number. I think it's about forty to one. Capt: I was thinking like, yeah, like we were like plus seventeen hundred. Like there wasn't there wasn't a chance. Marchenk-no: yeah. Yeah, we were. Yeah, we took a flyer and we nailed it. 84-0: To be fair, I I I throw out one of those parlays every Sunday. So I mean I love those odds. I love those odds. Marchenk-no: Yeah, Sam. Sam. Sam. What it Capt: And one of them has to hit, right? One of them has to hit. Marchenk-no: what it what did Kevin say in the office? It was like he's like if you see those odds you have to bet. 84-0: Yeah. Capt: But stick taps, good work, man. some just Marchenk-no: Let's go. Capt: some great news to share on a on a Monday night on New Year's Eve. 84-0: Wow. On the night before Marchenk-no: And people. Capt: just keep the train rolling. But how how are we feeling here? We're here, boys. It was a Marchenk-no: Yeah. Capt: long off season. I didn't realize how long the off seasons were until we started doing this. Holy jumpin. But we've made it. How are we feeling? Marchenk-no: I mean, the pasta news was huge. I think we all saw that coming. well I don't I don't know why they waited like forty eight hours before the the first puck drop, but it's gotta be a plan to all of this. I like what the f I like the the forward lines. I like the top I actually like pretty much all the lines except for maybe like two guys in it. like the goalies, the the D are a little shaky, but I don't know, I'm excited. I th I've seen a lot of the projections out there. They did one of those simulators on NHL twenty seventh. They did have the Bruins coming in eighth in the Atlantic, which I don't love, but you still gotta play the season because this happened last year and the Bruins made the playoffs. So who knows? Capt: Gotta play the games. I do want to go back to pasta being announced, Captain. Sorry, Mike, I kinda jump jumped right in there. I was listening to one at the press conference, and it sounded like typical Boston reporters trying to make something out of the relationship between pasta and McAvoy now, as a result of pasta getting the sea. Have you morons not learned anything? of leadership in the Bruins organization. Like what just trying to make a make a headline out of nothing, no? 84-0: Dave, I I yes I agree with you. They are trying to do that. I think maybe it does speak to the room and the relationship because it never got any legs. Like, they asked the question, they tried to g get a story out of it, and it just it went nowhere. So maybe it works in the favor of like showing how good the room is, or I just I feel like they they all kind of knew it was coming and were like, that's It it's a non story. Capt: It it's like why even bother? You know? Like you gotta ask the question, I guess, right? But like why even bother? 84-0: Yeah, I mean straight Marchenk-no: Yeah. 84-0: ninety ninety eight five talk o of Marchenk-no: Yeah. 84-0: just they gotta do a show today. Capt: Same three hundred and sixty five days. Marchenk-no: It's Subaru. It's it's it's the Subaru side of of everything, dude. It really is. I I like that that type of question makes my skin crawl. 'Cause like if if you've if you've ever physically been in a locker room, like that's just a ridiculous question to ask. Like, that's just not the case. They've been together for like I don't know, t n eight, nine, ten years now together. And like Yeah, what are we talking about? They're full grown adults Capt: Their entire careers. yeah, we're not buddies anymore. He got the C I didn't. What's he gonna say? Marchenk-no: with kids and they like live like a mile away from each other. Just yeah. It anyways, I I won't get into the reporter side of it because we just got certified and I don't want to ruin that. But Yeah, we do have to keep our pillars. 84-0: Go ahead, get into it. This is what this is what I'm saying. We gotta keep our values. how about I'll Capt: Yeah. 84-0: I'll jump into one thing that maybe the reporters missed of making it a story. We gave ourselves some stick taps for credentials. There was somebody on the ice that did not give Mr. Bosnok Marchenk-no: Mm. 84-0: some stick taps. And Dave, you pointed that out, I think. Or maybe it was you keep PCAM on the Twitter sticks. Marchenk-no: I was David. Capt: I'll take credit for that one. 84-0: Dave, yes. Go ahead. Capt: guys, I haven't seen a piss poor performance like that out of someone in a long time, other than Drake May on Sunday. But how how do you not like give the guy a stick? I don't know, it was just a really bad look. Like Marchenk-no: Yeah. Capt: who knows? Maybe he was juiced up behind closed doors or whatever, but like what a horrible look. Everyone's doing it around the circle. And he's just sitting there looking onto the mass pike as if he wishes he was jumping in front of one, like Marchenk-no: It's a tough look. I and like I I wanna give him the benefit of the doubt 'cause like you don't know what happened before that or after that or whatever the case may be. Maybe he like strained his back and he was all frustrated about it in that time frame. I wanna give him the benefit of the doubt. but he's shown us a couple of times in the last

two years that I don't know, it's like that that old saying, it's when someone tr shows you who they are, believe them. so starting to starting to lean that way a little bit. Capt: What's the saying, Brian? Marchenk-no: When someone shows who they are, believe them. Yeah. Yeah. No, no. That's the same. Capt: sorry. I I didn't know that was a saying. I thought you were going somewhere with that. Maybe at a cliffhanger. 84-0: Wayne Gretzky, Brian Cameron. Marchenk-no: Michael Scholars. Capt: we well and so last year we were preaching that the weasel artisan was the bad teammate. Has it been Elias the entire time? 84-0: Mm-hmm. It could have been Elias this whole time. I I do agree, B Cam, like you don't know what happened before. But at the same time too, like one, two taps and that's it. Like it's a non-story. Marchenk-no: Mm-hmm. 84-0: You know, then you could kind of be like, all right, maybe. And also, like, he he if he tweaked his back enough that he can't give a couple taps. Like what are we doing with him at at once Capt: Get off the ice. 84-0: it's it's so bad. Marchenk-no: Well, Don Sweeney's not even committing to him being the first line center. And he's like, Capt: Those quotes today were tough. Marchenk-no: Yeah, it there's not a ton of confidence in in him being on this in the in the lineup consistently. I don't I really am starting to question what happened this offseason. Did he not did he need surgery? And they gave him one of those one of those massive shots that people get to numb the pain. 84-0: Cortisone. Marchenk-no: Cortisone shots. Like, did he get did he like was that was that in play or is that in play? Stevie C got one on his knee for his meniscus and he golfed eight rounds out in Scotland and he's 65. So I think Elias Lindholm can do this for his back, but I'm just confused on did he not take care of it? Was it wedding season in Sweden? What was going on? Why why was this not taken care of? Capt: First of all, stick taps Stev C battle and that that is an impressive feat within itself. Holy 84-0: D it did did did he do eight Marchenk-no: Yeah, seriously. He's yeah. 84-0: rounds in one trip? Marchenk-no: Yeah, dude, they were doing. They were they were bussing. 84-0: What do you what do you do th how long was he over there for? Eight days? Marchenk-no: no no no, like two weeks. Yeah, 84-0: okay. Marchenk-no: yeah. Yeah, they did they did pretty much everything you can think of over there for golf courses. Yeah. Yeah. Capt: That's a whole lot of golf, boys. 84-0: That's a whole lot of golf. Marchenk-no: Yeah. Yeah. You have to be a junk box to do that. Capt: Well's game's in good shape last time we heard. how'd the Torny go B Cam? Sorry. Marchenk-no: Yeah. not great. No, not great. dude, I ch I so the f the first first nine we were we were we were moving some moving the needle a little bit and then I chipped in for Eagle on a five part five and we got the we got the look where we were like we might be on to something and we

just like couldn't couldn't get up and downs. Not a lot of greens and regulation. but we you know what? After day one, we were dead in the middle. If there was 20 teams, we were we were tenth, and we were like, cool, we might have a shot at Capt: What can you ask for? Marchenk-no: it. And then Sunday rolled around. Stevie C shot a this was best ball on Sunday. Stevie C shot a seventy seventy six, I think. And I didn't shoot a seventy six. So we were Capt: That's okay. 84-0: Mm-hmm. Marchenk-no: just and and I had I I was the stroke guy in the group. It was just tough. Definitely let Definitely let the the team down a little bit. just I I I can't stand that course. Can't stand it. You don't pull driver one time on the course because everything is a bowling alley and sixteen of the eighteen holes are white stakes. So if you spray one right, you spray one left, you're back on the T box where you're teeing. And that makes then I have to pull out a long iron, four, five, or six, and I have about two forty into the hole on a par four, and that's not good. So I I just I literally just came from the gym, two hour virtual golf round. just working 84-0: Mm-hmm. Marchenk-no: on the swing. So we're back. We're back. Capt: You're in the 84-0: Imagine how much worse you would have done if you didn't have the caddy at your side too. Marchenk-no: I had the caddy the whole time and the caddy gave me the right number. I just wasn't hitting the number. So 84-0: Mm. Marchenk-no: back to back to back to working on the game. Head down the Cape tomorrow for a wedding this weekend and just gonna hit the range every single day. No. No. 84-0: You're saying wedding tomorrow. I was like, what what day is that? Marchenk-no: No. So Yeah, I'm probably gonna get some lessons. Capt: Hey, you're in the lab though. You're working. Not everyone's putting in the time, though. Marchenk-no: And Capt: Not everyone's putting the time. not to derail us, but we were talking about 1C, which was a good segue into some golf chatter. we should talk line combinations, boys. Marchenk-no: Mm. Capt: Pending, everyone's healthy, everyone's in. Obviously, Chucky Mac has the first six sitting in the press box, eating some hot dogs. Would you guys come up with for some line combinations? 84-0: Personally I I I don't really care what they do. I wanna see the kid line stick together primarily, and I wanna see Hagens with pasta at some point. Those are really the the two main things that I wanna see. other than that, I think it's kinda blender until something hits. Marchenk-no: Yeah, I I'm kind of in the same boat. These lines theoretically mean nothing. these lines will change probably by period two of tomorrow. so nothing 84-0: Yeah. Literally. Marchenk-no: is ever concrete. But I I really disapprove. The only line I really don't want to see is is geeky Capt: Yeah. Marchenk-no: Linholman pasta. That that one is like forbidden for me. So I I I Capt: Worst line in hockey. Marchenk-no: I better not see that. but I mean all all the other ones like If Geeky Zaka and Melstat stick on the second line, whatever. That's fine with May as long as they're they have that second Capt: Yeah. Marchenk-no: second line scoring. to Mikey's point, I like the kid line. if they work well, then perfect. I I I have a really I have a huge problem with the fourth line center. Crowley didn't look good in preseason. I don't put a ton of stake into preseason, but with what the way that I already felt about him heading into the season, I would like for someone else to get a shot there. And I kept reading that. Potter, if he didn't get hurt, would have been taking that spot on the fourth line with Castlick and Janot. but that also leaves Isimont on the bench, which I think is gonna be the case tomorrow. I don't think he'll be on the starting lineup, so I don't know. 84-0: I actually think that we would probably get more out of Elias twenty eight as a fourth line center. Like if he was having fourth line matchups playing thirteen thirteen, fourteen minutes a night, I actually think he would it would serve him way better than a first line role. And then just let Capt: I don't think he plays hard enough. Marchenk-no: I don't disagree. 84-0: and then just let literally anybody else ride on the the top two or three. Capt: I don't I don't think he damn, I'm losing Wi Fi. 84-0: Except Corelli, maybe. Maybe not. Marchenk-no: I don't disagree. I I just I think I think he has too much pride. I don't think he would allow the team to send him down to the fourth line. I just think he wouldn't play. He'd be like, No. I don't think he's a team guy. Capt: Can you guys hear me? Marchenk-no: But if you're making seven million, cares what line you're on. Making bread. Just just stick it out, but I don't know. 84-0: TV with us. Yeah. Capt: Can you guys can you hear me? I was frozen. That was sick. God I love. 84-0: We're off to a hot start on credential night. Capt: We got the good news out of the way. So I actually put some line combinations down here, boys. 84-0: Let's go, pen and paper. Marchenk-no: Mm-hmm. Capt: I was putting some stuff together. did you guys hear me when I said I don't think Elias can compete on a fourth line? I just don't think he has enough sandpaper. Or was I frozen? Lovely. Marchenk-no: No. You were frozen. But 84-0: We didn't hear that. Marchenk-no: I do but I do agree with the statement. Capt: Yeah, I just I just don't think he has it. So what what I came up with was I think there's a good balance. And this is again assuming everyone's in I have 44, 18, 88. So Hagen, Saka, pasta. First line. Yeah, I think right Marchenk-no: This is your ideal lineup, right? Okay. Capt: now is this would be some good combinations. Then Peterka, Franzi Boy, and Geeky. on the second line. Marchenk-no: Don't hate that one either. Capt: Third line, Middle Stat, Elias Lindholm, and Coudini. And then the fourth line, Jano Castilic at center, because he's played some center ice in and

out, not consistently, but he has. And then Isamont Marchenk-no: Got on drive still. Capt: on his off way. Then I have Corale eating hot dogs. 84-0: Castleak's his face off percentage is always really good too. Marchenk-no: Yeah. 84-0: I wonder if it would it obviously would probably go down the more draws he's taken, but he is still good at them. So I don't hate that. Marchenk-no: It is? Capt: W what do you guys think of those though? Like Hagen, Saka, pasta as your kind of your top talks? Marchenk-no: I don't disagree. My my only concern would be with the third line. I think putting Husaninoff without speed on the line definitely hurts a little bit. Definit I don't think it compliments his game well. Middle Stat just he just doesn't have quick feed at all. but it's not for a lack of effort. and Elias Linholm just has slow boots, like very slow boots. So that's where it gets a little bit tough. That's why I think Houdini needs to be with a Paturka, Hagen, Sminton or one of the one of those guys on his line. Capt: So I'm gonna play devil's advocate here. I think having a Coudini with a couple slower guys who like call it what you want. Like Elias Lynhom can see the ice well. And so can Middle Stat. Like, they can make plays, but not fast. He's gonna kind of be like that Marshy who's like a dog retrieving pucks, getting to those guys and getting open. Like I could see his speed, like almost complimenting them, but he just doesn't have anyone that can keep up with him, ultimately. Marchenk-no: That's the problem. He's he's obviously gonna be the first minute on every single four check. That gets tiring after a while. Capt: Yeah. 84-0: Yeah. Marchenk-no: But I I don't hate th I don't hate those lines at all. I think the Partra injury just I mean the kid the kid can't get a fucking break. Like, give me a break, so I don't know. 84-0: They did say he's he's on the team though, right? He made the big club that they're just waiting for him to come off injured reserve. Dave, I I I don't hate those. And realistically, like we'll probably see that at some point. Marchenk-no: Mm-hmm. 84-0: Like at you know, down the line here when they try to figure out where to slot in Peterka. I think he's a big question mark just where he's gonna fit. But I think he'll probably have obviously it should go without saying that his best success. alongside pasta. So, you know, I I wouldn't be surprised if they ride that hard, especially to start. Capt: But then is it do you slide Hagen to the middle after some point, right? You know. Not with the B's, 84-0: I don't know, I'd like to see him in the middle too. I I don't I did he play middle at all last year, towards the end of the year? I don't think he did, right? Strictly wing. Capt: no, I don't know if he did it at B C. He might have. 84-0: He was playing Marchenk-no: Yeah. 84-0: center at BC for a little bit. they he was it was probably like fifty fifty wing and center. Capt: There's a lot s like other than middle stat and other than three guys, there's a good amount of speed. Right? And it's what can what can they do to like play with that speed, but the back end is really where we're lacking speed. Like I have a surprise out of camp, Bernay, Freddie. Marchenk-no: Mm-hmm. Capt: We've been singing his praises for a year now. I have him and McAvoy. Linholm, Borgan, and then Zodorov and Clifton. And then Lorai as the extra right now. Subject Marchenk-no: Yeah. Capt: to change, but I mean Yoki Haru. 84-0: What about As aspiro? Capt: Have fun on Federal Marchenk-no: Mm. Capt: Hill, my friend. it was a matter of time, but Marchenk-no: They the the someone tweeted out they were like Olympian and like I don't know something else. They were like Yogi Haru gets sent down to Providence. Like, all right, yeah, I'll I'll give you Olympian, like Team Finland, whatever. But I don't you didn't watch any of the games Capt: World champion too. Marchenk-no: last year. So or his last seven seasons. So give give me a fucking break there. I the Bruins have a tough time. They have too many lefty defensemen. Too many. Capt: Righty. Marchenk-no: No, too many lefty. Capt: Well, and righty too. Marchenk-no: Not really. They have Borgan and Clifton. Capt: Mac true. Aspro, left side. Marchenk-no: Yeah, like Mac I mean I'm I'm kind of excluding McAvoy from the conversation just for the sake of it because obviously he's gonna be in the lineup. But like they signed Borgan. I I was under the the I was under the the Capt: Okay. Marchenk-no: assumption that Borgan was a lefty. I don't know why. Thank God he's a righty. We needed a right handed defenseman badly, but I d I don't I don't love seeing Clifton's name in there. I really don't. It it kind of makes my super 84-0: I'm excited to see Cliffy hockey again. That's gonna be fun. You know he's gonna throw some open ice hits. He's gonna probably probably put himself in a bad spot. Marchenk-no: Yeah, but it's typically like Yeah yeah, that's what I'm saying. Like he'll he'll kill someone, but then like the buck's going the other way, like two on one. Capt: He'll just go out of the way to completely light someone up. 84-0: Dave Marchenk-no: I I wanna see Low Rai in the lineup. I mean I know he was he was hurt. They did say he was like right back to skating. But yeah Capt: So do I, but I think it'd be good to see Freddy really get some opportunity. You know? Then but then as Marchenk-no: no, I I'm I'm with you on Brunei. I'm I'm completely with you. Capt: who who do you take out? Do you have a couple lefties? You know what I mean? And like do you sub out Clifton for Lore? Marchenk-no: Yeah, I mean h I mean Hummus isn't coming out. 84-0: Well, he he he's and Marchenk-no: z well, maybe, maybe. 84-0: he's just he's no way gonna play eighty four games this year. No way. So they probably factor that in too. I Marchenk-no: No, God no. No. He'll have some freak accident. He'll have some freak accident where he like he Capt: No. Marchenk-no: somehow ends

up in the crowd. Capt: And his own kneecap blows up into a million pieces while a Star Market 84-0: Hopefully the kneecap is better this year, though. Capt: Causeway. 84-0: I do want to give a shout out to to Don Sweeney, absolutely gassing up the NHL fan base that is the Boston Bruins. in his presser today, he said when asked about players like Hagens and Brune forcing players like Yoki Haryu and Steves to go on waivers. Don Sweeney said, We're not going to apologize for. For the depth of our hockey club, hashtag NHL Bruins. And I sent it to you guys and I re I was deep in the weeds researching if this was actually said or if it was AI. And it was actually said. I couldn't believe it. I was like Capt: It's an incredible line. 84-0: laughing out loud. We're sending Yokiharyu and Steve to the miners because of depth. Marchenk-no: They should have traded Yogyaryu in in the off season 'cause like now it's just eating 84-0: Nobody wanted him. We would have had to Marchenk-no: I f 84-0: package two draft picks with him. Capt: Gave corpus all up for look. Marchenk-no: Yeah, but we didn't sign did we sign him to this contract that he's currently on? God. 84-0: Yes, yes. That's Capt: Yeah. 84-0: what we've been saying this whole time. It's the probably pound for pound the worst contract in the NHL since Illia Covalchuck. Capt: He's making three mil on the baby bees, boys. He's gotta be the highest paid player in the AHL. Marchenk-no: He's a no trade clause. Capt: He does? 84-0: Like a complete no move clause. Marchenk-no: dude, it's crazy. Capt: He's in year two of three. Marchenk-no: Also, I did watch I I'm I'm against preseason hockey. Will not watch it. I have no interest in watching it. I did throw it on for like 30 seconds. I just wanted to see Brune see how he's 'cause I hadn't seen him play yet. And they had a power play and he made a couple of good plays. I literally just turned it off. I was like, that's all I needed to see. He's ready to go. Go get him on the roster. Don't care. Yeah, 84-0: Yoki har you to Mars. Marchenk-no: I was like, don't even care. was like very close to tweeting out like get Brunei on on this on the on the roster. he made a couple of plays that like I don't think we have outside of like McAvoy and I'll g I'll even give Hamas and and Zodorov a little bit of credit there too. But outside of those three, like we need Brunei to work out badly. And I think the idea is have Chuck lead the way when he comes back and have Chuck and Brune as that top pair, which go with me. Capt: Signed me up. 84-0: Cool with me. Capt: I did watch like ten minutes of the Flyers game, the Bees Flyers preseason. I could throw up. It was w it just preseason hockey is just not it. Marchenk-no: It's brutal. Even like I I thought I was going crazy, but even the coaches were like, Yeah, preseason's a nothing burger. It truly is. Capt: It means nothing. Like get the kings out. It is great though how like camp short and they just kinda jump right in, like,

God call I don't know, maybe I'm a I'm kinda dumb, but like I don't remember hockey really ever starting in like September. Like it's a long season, boys. Eighty four. Marchenk-no: yeah. Non eleven season. 84-0: It's too long. Marchenk-no: Yeah, it's way too long. It's way too long. 84-0: It is too long. Capt: They gotta end by June first. That's my hot take on it. Start Marchenk-no: Yeah. Yeah. Capt: start like middle of October and June first. 84-0: I don't even think that's that hot of a take, really. Marchenk-no: Yeah, like there's there's no reason that there's no reason that we should be like tomorrow night we got Bruins Rangers at eight and we have Red Sox Yankees at at eight playoffs. Capt: Like, what are we doing? Marchenk-no: I d I mean I got one screen. What am I supposed to do? Capt: Yeah. 84-0: You got this computer. Marchenk-no: True, but just 84-0: Who goes on the big screen? Capt: Yeah. Marchenk-no: probably the soft. Capt: It has to be. It's game one of eighty four. 84-0: mean, it's it's game one. Toly Marchenk-no: I know. It totally's on the bunk. 84-0: Toles on the mound. They they they gotta beat Schlittler too. Fucking scumbag. Marchenk-no: Yeah, I know. It's like, how do I not? Yeah, I know. That one's gonna be tough. That's that's gonna be tough. Capt: He's nasty. Marchenk-no: I did also see the leadership group, but I think they're no surprise outside of Minton, is Pasachuk, Hamas, Zodorov, and Geeky. nice is Capt: Speaks volumes though for France. Marchenk-no: Yeah, it does. It does. They're putting some confidence in hopefully it transpires and hopefully it doesn't feel like the the spotlights on him because of the contract and all this other stuff. But we like we need him. We need him for 50 this year, 50 points. We need him to be a 200 foot player and and walk down that second line or top six. he is he's a key to it. And I don't know. I keep seeing I keep seeing Zaka's name float around for trades too, just because he's in a contract year. But I think I don't think that will be touched on until closer to the deadline. 84-0: Yeah, I think that's gonna be lingering all season. I think I it was lingering last season. So I wonder if he just it's just white noise to him at this point. one thing with our boy Franzi though, didn't really think about it till now. I wonder like remember from behind the I don't even think it was behind the beats, like bear tracks or whatever, the summer YouTube series. He was out with Janelle for a couple weeks. Are are Marchenk-no: Mm. 84-0: they from the same province or Like what is I I'm curious Marchenk-no: Good question. 84-0: to know what the relationship is there. Cause I like Capt: I know Franzi is from BC. Marchenk-no: He's from Vancouver, yep. And then Capt: And Janoa's from he's a s Sasky boy. 84-0: 'Cause I kinda like the like the big brother aspect there. Marchenk-no: Mm-hmm. 84-0: Juno kinda taking him under his wing, tough as nails, will just beat the daylights out of anybody who

takes a run at him or something. It's kinda like Sean Thornton vibes a little bit with Marshy. Capt: Do you guys wanna throw up on the spot? 84-0: No. Capt: Henry Yokiharyu has made four million more in his career than Tanner Janot. Marchenk-no: I don't know. I I I said to you guys, I thought I was going crazy because all I kept seeing was him in the lineup and people on Twitter being like, Get Henry in there and then he makes the Olympics and I'm like, Am I the odd man out of thinking this guy stinks? And finally finally I saw the light in this roster. But I I think I think he said everyone 84-0: Yeah. Capt: Dude, this is why we got the credentials. Marchenk-no: I think everyone's been duped up until this point. I really do. 84-0: I was never duped. I just want that on record. Capt: This is why we got the credentials. Marchenk-no: Yeah, true. Capt: We see what those cannot. Marchenk-no: Good point. Capt: I was not duped. I was fully on the Henry Henry's a great skater and he can play in the NHL. And then I was proven wrong time after time. I was duped. 84-0: You were duped. Marchenk-no: You know who you know what's a name that we're gonna have to keep an eye out for is Loch Mellis. I heard Capt: Love to see him get a shot. Marchenk-no: I heard and saw that he was just on the outside looking in and that it's it's a matter of when he comes up. So I mean, I think he can easily take over that fourth line center spot when things don't go well in that fourth line, and I think they'll give Easy Mot a look. I think they'll give Partra a look. I think Partra will get more minutes once he comes back. But I think Locke Mellis, he has the speed and he's probably like super hungry to get some games and get some playtime. So I'm looking forward to that because he left UMass Amherst early. He was obviously someone that the Bruins like, hey, I think we I think you can play in the system. So I I'm I'm very excited for that at some point. Capt: One of two Olympians and the baby bees. 84-0: He's riding top line. That's right, he is. He's riding top line on the baby bees right now too, so I think they're Capt: Do you think he gets a shot over Reichel? Marchenk-no: Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. 84-0: Yeah, I do. I th I think Reichel might be Capt: I think it's time. You look good in the Olympics. Marchenk-no: Mm-hmm. 84-0: Lodge Mellus or Reichel? Capt: Watch Malice. 84-0: I think Reichel's ship may have sailed. Marchenk-no: Mm-hmm. Agreed. 84-0: I I don't know if we'll see again unless they just get depleted with injuries. Marchenk-no: D I did see that Lysel had the waiver wire. 84-0: Shocker and Beecher. Capt: don't Marchenk-no: And Beecher. Capt: Good job. 84-0: Shocker. Capt: First round picks. Marchenk-no: We'll say I was I I caught a glimpse of Ivan Ivan. He's not bad. It's not bad. He's kind of a he's kind of a brick. Capt: We might have fleeced them. Marchenk-no: Yeah. I I I don't know. You could see him in the Bruins lineup at some point this year. You know what Capt:

Honda Honda P. Marchenk-no: I mean? Like you could definitely see him up there for like a five game stint, a couple injuries. Yeah. Capt: I could see him take her alley. Just the just like the headless horseman. Throw him out there and spin him up and let go. 84-0: Who was the the year after the record breaking season, they signed a kid from the Ducks and he used to play with like Trent Frederick. He's like a St. Louis kid, and they were like, This is gonna unlock Frederick's potential. Like this kid's gre he put up like eighty goals in the like midget triple A, some bullshit. Marchenk-no: Wasn't it the guy that w went over to the Panthers from the Bruins, right? Boco I actually liked Boco's game. 84-0: Nah, they tra he got hurt. No, it wasn't bo it wasn't Bocus. I liked him. He was good. He was like a big stocky I guess not stocky, but thick. He got like four penalties his first game and just put up Bupkiss. And then they traded him. Marchenk-no: Now I have to figure out who this is. Not Jeffrey Veal. 84-0: No. Vil Parm car Capt: That was gonna be my guess. 84-0: is carving out a nice little role for himself. He just signed a nice ticket with the ducks, right? Marchenk-no: Yeah, he he actually played well for them towards the end. 84-0: It's like max something. Marchenk-no: is it Max Jones? 84-0: Max Jones. Capt: Yes. Marchenk-no: Yeah, he was he had a tough first game. Tough first game. 84-0: Yeah. He was he was getting hyped Capt: Brutal start. 84-0: up. Is that i is Max Jones is Ivan Ivan the next Max Jones? Marchenk-no: god, I think you're right. We can't talk about Drake May right now. It looks like 84-0: Is Drake May the next Max Jones? Max Jones. Capt: No, this is not a football talk right now. Marchenk-no: he it looks like he made Edmonton's roster potentially Max Jones. 84-0: With Frederick. He's back with Frederick. Marchenk-no: How true did you even think of that? Yeah. Capt: Yeah, he's gonna unlock his potential. 84-0: He just needs Babcock Marchenk-no: Seven 84-0: to unlock his potential. Marchenk-no: seven games with the Boston Bruins in twenty four, twenty five. 84-0: How many pins? Marchenk-no: zero points, eight Capt: Eight Pimps. Marchenk-no: eight eight Pims dash four. 84-0: I think th those all came in the first game. The eight pens. Capt: Hey, point per Marchenk-no: Yeah. Capt: nope, never mind thirty eight Pims in in Providence. 84-0: Pimper game. Yeah, he was brutal. I hope Ivan Ivan is not the next Max Jones. Marchenk-no: Yeah, Sam. Sam. Capt: I'm excited for Ivan Ivan. Houch is a hilarious name. 84-0: It is hilarious. It would be fun if he Marchenk-no: Yeah. And and 84-0: was good. Marchenk-no: Mikey, Dornan is back with the Providence Bruins. He was 84-0: Yeah, I Marchenk-no: he was reassigned. 84-0: can't believe nobody Capt: Shocker. 84-0: claimed him. is he is he on waivers? Is he waiver eligible? Marchenk-no: No, I think he was just reassigned. 84-0: How is he not waiver eligible yet? Marchenk-no: I have no I I have

no idea. 84-0: This g he he's getting the the PJ Axelson treatment where he's just gonna be a brewing forever. He's gonna go to all the alumni tournaments, he's gonna play in all the golf tournaments, all the fundraisers. Marchenk-no: If he ends if he ends up on the recruitment staff, just make sure we make good picks draft wise. Capt: That's it. Riley, you got one job, our friend. One job. 84-0: Wuber native. Capt: He'll just pick out a hockey east. Won't travel. 84-0: Providence, strictly. Capt: Keep it local. Marchenk-no: I don't know, but Capt: So Marchenk-no: I I I think I think I'm actually excited for the season now. I I actually 84-0: I am too. Marchenk-no: it has hit me. I think it's another like season where they are truly like underdogs again. But there is some people that like still believe in this roster. I read a whole article. I forget who wrote it, but it was about Sturm's mentality going into the season and how his main focus is face offs. And it was a pretty interesting article. And he was talking about how like you need the puck in order to make the the plays that you want to play in every single zone in the in the on the ice. And he was saying that it's the one thing that people don't think about when they're starting a game plan. And he's like going the other way where he's like, let's focus on face-offs, and then we can get to those other areas that we want to be in. And I just thought it was an interesting concept where I I I don't disagree. Like the how many games have we watched where it's like a two one game, Bruins are up and they lose a defensive zone face off and the other team scores and we lose that extra point in overtime. So I just thought it was interesting. I think he's working with what he has as for a roster and he's gonna try and make it work with like different aspects of the game and I don't know, I'm excited. Capt: I agree with you there, B Cam. I'm more excited, I think, about this year's roster Marchenk-no: Mm-hmm. Capt: than last year's. Like, we know what Franz can do now. We saw Coudini. Hagins is here. Peterka's a massive upgrade from Arvidson. Like, massive, a little more, like a little younger two. Bernay's gonna get a shot. You know, like Marchenk-no: Mm-hmm. Capt: Borgan, like he's got some game. I I know we Kinda were giving them a lot of shit at like free agency. But I don't know, like I think they're a better team this year than they were last year. 84-0: I agree with that, Dave. The the division is also probably twice as good as it was last year. And I think Capt: The best in hockey. 84-0: I and because of that, I I do I I don't know. They might sneak into the last wild card spot, but I I don't feel too confident about it just because of who they're stacked up against. But I I I do think the team is better this year than they were last year. It's just it's gonna be exciting. It's gonna be exciting to watch the young guys I'm excited to watch DPH ro get some games and Marchenk-no: Yeah. 84-0:

you know, I I very excited to watch him play, honestly. Capt: He made some big saves in that Flyers preseason game. Marchenk-no: Mm-hmm. 84-0: Yeah, he's fun. Yeah. Capt: It's preseason hockey, but still. Like he's proved that he can do it at the AHL level year in and year out, so we'll be good. And there's only an eight hundred K cap. 84-0: U also, don't forget, towards the end of the season, too, no matter what kind of position the bees are in, we're gonna be eagle watching for the Dean Pot. Capt: Yes. And who knows, maybe Marchenk-no: That'll be interesting. Capt: even Zellers. If he takes a big step at Nodak. 84-0: I could see Zellers doing another year. Yeah. The I don't know if he had like Dean Pot has the frame. What'd they say? He put on like 30 pounds Marchenk-no: Dude, he's a unit. 84-0: or something? Marchenk-no: I I put it up the other day. Capt: Yeah, it's a lot of boy. Marchenk-no: His his size is insane. Let me see what his anybody came in at. Six seven two six seven two thirty. I'm I'm trying to get I was trying to get the post for you because I posted about it. Six seven 84-0: He's a house. Who's who's on TikTok right now? Marchenk-no: two thirty eight. That's a frame. 84-0: That's nuts. Capt: Imagine him barreling down a wall. Marchenk-no: I think I think he's gonna be up for the Hobie this year. I hope B C doesn't play well so he can slide right up, but 84-0: Right. Marchenk-no: we'll see. 84-0: He should be playing tight end for the Pats at that. Marchenk-no: Holy shit. 84-0: He's really bigger than Hunter Henry. Capt: Get under center. 84-0: Hunter Henry's what? Like six five, like two sixty or something. Marchenk-no: He's and he's technically supposed to be like a a sophomore this year. He advanced a year. So I don't know. I'm I'm excited. I I think Dave, I don't think Zellers is far from it though. no Nodak's gonna be a wagon this year. and then Quinnipiax got the two guys, two Simpson and Groanwald, 84-0: Crownwald. Marchenk-no: whatever. so I don't know. I think it'll be it'll be exciting to see some of those guys maybe jump up if they're on a run. Capt: I mean it'll be good. A lot of exciting things coming here for the bees, for the same seats pod, credentialed. How are ya? Gonna have to do some research into that. Really don't even know what it means, but it's kinda big time. 84-0: We s we just have no idea what it means. Marchenk-no: Still have no idea what that means, but we're we're doing it. Capt: But yeah. 84-0: Did Folsom help out with that at all or? Marchenk-no: Did he or can he? No, I just threw in a random application. 84-0: Did he? This was just this was just own volition. Marchenk-no: Yeah, shut up plotter. He just gave me the idea and I was like, you know what? Might as well just see. I mean, what's the worst I could say? No. And they said yes. 84-0: That's crazy. They Capt: We're b and we're big time now. Marchenk-no: I know. 84-0: definitely haven't listened to our stuff. They definitely didn't listen to

the to the North Shore Beef episode. Marchenk-no: No, they didn't. No. They they did not listen to that. I did there's a couple Capt: No. Marchenk-no: things around the league that I thought was pretty interesting, unless Dave, you got anything else on the Bruins or Mikey. Capt: Nothing on the bees. I'm I'm good. I'm ready to go. 84-0: Good. Marchenk-no: Did you see the New York Rangers monthly pass to Rangers hockey? Did you see this whole thing? 84-0: Monthly pet. What it for fans or media? Marchenk-no: For fans at MSG. if you're a fan, you pay $150 per month and you choose two available games each month. Lower bowl seats assigned on the day of each game. That that accounts for one ticket. So if you're, I don't know, you and your significant other, $300 a month, you get two games each month, you sit together. And that's their subscription service right now from Lower Bowl Games and S G. Capt: That's a steal. 84-0: That's insane. Dude, Marchenk-no: Isn't that insane? 84-0: what w at MSG, that I Marchenk-no: I know. 84-0: I was kinda Capt: There 84-0: waiting for the other shoe to drop and be like, but you're Capt: Yeah, what's the catch? 84-0: but you're locked in for ninety eight months. Capt: Need to give him your social security number. Marchenk-no: Your pass auto renews monthly and can be canceled between the fifteenth and twenty fifth of each month. 84-0: So no long term contract. Marchenk-no: No. Capt: That's the best deal in hockey to watch a game. Marchenk-no: Isn't that insane? Capt: It's incredible. Marchenk-no: I'll send you guys over the 84-0: That does make sense. Marchenk-no: Yeah, I I was pretty stunned by that. Capt: There has to be a catch. There has to be. 84-0: There has to be. Marchenk-no: Well, I so I looked into it to like the like frequently asked questions. and it was like, does each person need a Ranger's pass? Yes, each pass provides one ticket two per game two games per month. Every person attending will need their own pass. So like if you I don't know. It's like it's pretty much the the way of getting like season tickets without without paying like fifteen thousand dollars up front. 84-0: It's a great idea. Marchenk-no: I know and lower bowl too, which I thought was Capt: Brilliant. Marchenk-no: lower bowl to me is like that should be three hundred dollars a month. But they Capt: Easily. Easily. Marchenk-no: they must be anticipating a low number of fans per game. Because they're not going to be great. Capt: But it's the Rangers. 84-0: True. Marchenk-no: I know, that's the other thing that kinda makes my head stress. Capt: It's the Rangers. It's not like it's gonna be like Columbus. Not to kick when they're down. Or like Marchenk-no: No. No, no, no. 84-0: Columbus gonna be really good. They got they just got Matthew Nees. Nice news. Marchenk-no: also, Geeky's new arm sleeve, he might be good for fifty this year. Did you guys look at that? 84-0: I didn't see it. wow. Capt: Incredible. Marchenk-no: If I think that equates to fifty goals. I think it does. So just something to keep an eye on. it is a full sam 84-0: That is sharp. Marchenk-no: it's a full samurai. And yeah. So that's I think I think that's really good news for us. Capt: I'd love to talk to that guy. He seems like just an interesting dude. Marchenk-no: Yeah, I think 84-0: Seems like a great guy. Marchenk-no: Yeah. I mean he's do you see him park one at Fenway? It's a smooth swing. 84-0: yeah. Well do you remember he was trying to I don't know if it was trying to go I think he was trying to get drafted for baseball. Marchenk-no: Yeah. 84-0: And then he didn't, Marchenk-no: Yeah. 84-0: so he's just like, I guess I'll just play hockey. Nuts. Marchenk-no: Which is crazy. Capt: Imagine. Marchenk-no: The the new penalty of tucking in the jersey, the whole Ziegris thing. 84-0: Dumb. Capt: Stupid. Why are we even doing that? Marchenk-no: The the league has indicated it will warn players if equipment, neck guards, visors, helmets during warp is not being properly worn. Jerseys are supposed to be untucked at the beginning of a player's shift. If it rides up during a shift, no issue. Procedure is a warning followed by a two minute penalty. What's what's the catch there? Like why 84-0: Gotta be some with jersey ads, right? But there's no jersey ads on the back. So Marchenk-no: Ooh True. 84-0: I don't I don't really know. Capt: They're turning into the NFL. 84-0: The no fun league. Capt: No f yeah, it's not. Marchenk-no: And the and and and then the the Flyers did proceed to tuck in all of their jerseys during warm ups, which I which I thought was a great little fuck you Capt: Hilarious. Marchenk-no: to the league. and then the other one I had the the Paster Nakan Zadora fall following Marchenko. Just we don't need to dive into that. Yes, which I kinda loved. That was like that was a good 84-0: Pasta unfolled him today. Very funny. Capt: Diddy good. Marchenk-no: and then yeah, the the only other thing was John Chaika says internal data suggests that this is the best Austin Matthews has skated over the last five years. 84-0: What is that? It sounds like a an answer I would make up on like a test. Marchenk-no: They are they are s Capt: Or like in a job interview. Marchenk-no: they are the biggest senses. This is the same guy 84-0: Please show your work. The internal data shows. Marchenk-no: that like he got like he got wrung up, right? Didn't he didn't he get he got like Capt: Yeah. And you basically drove Done out of town. Marchenk-no: Yeah, with Phoenix or something? He did something. 84-0: Fr from Phoenix. Capt: Yeah. Marchenk-no: Yeah, he did something that was against the rules. The other thing that I wanted to talk about, well we don't have to dive too deep too deep into it. It's pretty dark, but the whole ASU situation today Players anonymously sent in a a a letter through their lawyer that they think that Powers should take a leave of absence. And they play their first game Friday. Capt: Interesting.

What a crazy like series of events down there. Like I would love to hear from Joey Marchenk-no: Yeah. Capt: what his experience decored was like. Because he was like one of the first guys to play for powers at like when they turned like Division One. I mean that's just like wild. Marchenk-no: Yeah. I mean it there's not a ton to talk about there. Obviously it's super sad. But the it I did read the article today and it was saying that they had a Green B ex Green Beret running the off season workouts on the turf. And it was it it's pretty it's pretty dark. I I won't dive fully into it, but it was it was just saying that like the coaches were on the field when it happened and all this other stuff. But I I would I would recommend going to read some of the articles, Capt: Brutal news. Marchenk-no: yeah. But I just thought it was I th that came across my desk literally right before we hopped on. and they were s they were asking for it before Friday. So that's gonna be a quick turnaround on a decision. Capt: mean they have to let go. Marchenk-no: I don't disagree. Capt: You would think, right? Like where do you draw the line? Marchenk-no: I know. Capt: But we'll see. Marchenk-no: I know. Capt: Michael, anything from your side? 84-0: No, you guys wanna do predictions for the team? Final predictions. Marchenk-no: Standing stats both 84-0: Yeah, playoffs or no playoffs and points and standings. So yes, everything you just said. Formed as an original idea Marchenk-no: Kick us off, Dave. 84-0: from me. Capt: Am I kicking us off? Marchenk-no: Yeah, kick us off. Capt: Okay. I have them getting into the last wildcard spot. Marchenk-no: Mm-hmm. Capt: They finished with a hundred and something points last year. I think the hundred point is gonna be the ticket again. So they'll finish at a hundred. And I'll put them fourth in the Atlantic. Right, does my math add up there? If they get the last wild card spot? 84-0: Yeah, you can get a wild card spot there, right? Capt: Fourth or fifth? 'Cause I think five teams are coming out of the Atlantic. Marchenk-no: Yeah, I'm I'm right around the ninety point mark, points wise, which I I hope leads to the first second wild card spot. I don't think Buffalo is gonna be as good as people are saying they're gonna be this year. I do think Capt: Step back. Marchenk-no: I think the Bruins will be ahead of them in the standings. I think their goaltending situation stinks and losing Tuck, although a an abysmal round two in the playoffs. They're missing out on like 70 points, whatever he got, 30 goals. I think they're anticipating the kid, Ben Ben Bennett. What's his name? Small little Capt: Benson? Marchenk-no: guy, Benson. I think they're anticipating him to take over, but yeah, I think the Bruins overtake them. couple things to keep an eye out for Pasta, 1,000 points this year. Hopefully towards the end. I 84-0: Mm. Is he eighty away? Eighty five away. Marchenk-no: think he's even less. I think he's like 60. Fifty something, sixty.

So that's that's gonna be fun to watch. got the Bergeron night coming up in December I think it's December first. did 84-0: Mm-hmm. Marchenk-no: take a peek at tickets the other day. there's only a few left and it's about seven fifty to sit up with Jesus. So that's gonna be a tough 84-0: Mm-hmm. Marchenk-no: one to t to make. Capt: We got credentials now though. It's okay. Marchenk-no: but yeah, I think ninety points and I and I I still think the key to the season is Hagans, Minton and Hustaninoff grabbing fifty points each. And I think they'll be in a good spot. But I mean, obviously it's a ton to ask for. 84-0: Mm-hmm. I like it. I'm gonna go a little off the board here, a little counterintuitive to what I've been saying, but I don't want to say the exact same thing you guys are saying. So I'm gonna predict the bees finish third in the Atlantic. Florida, Montreal, Boston. What do you think of that? Capt: Wow. Over Marchenk-no: Like that. Capt: Tampa. 84-0: What do you think of that? Over Tampa. Over Tampa. I don't know if Tampa's gonna be able to put it together this year. I think Basileski's running out of running out of his rushing gas. That he's he might do a little bit of an over year, I think, and just kinda be good, but not as good in the pass. And then I have Hagens getting over fifty. Over fifty Marchenk-no: yeah. 84-0: points this year. Capt: Passes sixty seven away, boys. It's gonna happen sooner than you think. Marchenk-no: It's unbelievable. 84-0: That is gonna happen sooner or later. Also, he seems pretty healthy. Marchenk-no: Mm-hmm. 84-0: For for all things considered. like remember last year he missed what did he miss a a regular season game? The first regular season game with arthritis in the knee? What did he miss? He missed something. Remember, and we were all like, wait, Capt: Yeah, last year you did. He only played seventy seven games last year. 84-0: yeah, and I it the he missed the first couple or something for arthritis in the knee. Haven't heard anything like that. And all signs are pointing to him being healthy. So might get a good year a real good year out of Captain David. Capt: I mean, he's on a heater the last four seasons, over a hundred points. 84-0: might get a real big heater. Heat we're talking Capt: He might be sniffing one twenty. 84-0: heat stick. Marchenk-no: Be unreal. Are we still are we still looking at maybe going down to Tampa mid November? Bruins Bruins Lightning. 84-0: For hatricks. Capt: I am I'm I'm looking at it. Marchenk-no: Okay, cool. But I just wanna make sure we're the same page. We'll get Capt: I'm looking. 84-0: also, when is the the Germany is Germany next year? Marchenk-no: No, I think it's this year. 84-0: Is it? Capt: Das Bruins. Marchenk-no: Pretty sure it's this year. No yeah, twenty twenty seven, but I don't know which month. nope, you're right. 84-0: It's next season. Marchenk-no: Yep. Next season. I thought it was this year. Yeah. Capt: To open up the ear, yeah? 84-0: Okay. So we have time. Capt: We should go do that. Marchenk-no: That would yeah. Because Mikey did tell us in the group chat that hockey is nowhere to be found in all of Germany. 84-0: I did, very odd. maybe because it's Oktoberfest season, but I was looking for Marco Sturm, I was looking for Leon Dreisidel, who will be on the Bruins next year, but nothing. JJ Peterka, Marchenk-no: Crazy. Capt: We need to go raise awareness. Boots on the ground. 84-0: Tim Stutzla. We do. We do. Marco will be thrilled about that. Capt: Dallas Bruins. 84-0: Das Bruins. Capt: Dos bees. Well boys, anything else before we wrap here? Marchenk-no: No? No. Excited. And I think what 84-0: Got nothing. Excited. A little Capt: was 84-0: bit more of a regular routine for us too, right? For Marchenk-no: Yeah. 84-0: recorder. Marchenk-no: Yeah, what w like every every couple games, recap, go through them like we did last time. Yeah. 84-0: Try to do once a week, once a week minimum. Marchenk-no: Yeah. Capt: Yep, definitely. You'll be hearing from us a lot more. w we did enjoy sh I won't speak for the two of you, but I did enjoy just shooting the breeze on just random shit. So we'll be sure to bring that back in. That's always fun. catching up on what's what. But 84-0: Maybe not as much. Capt: yeah, this is a hockey podcast. This is a bronze podcast. 84-0: Ha ha Capt: but yeah, we're excited. If you're listening to this, the season started or a season starting tonight. so go bees. And Train rolling. Go socks. Go socks. 84-0: Go Socks. Big series. Capt: Go socks. All right, boys. Peace. 84-0: Peace.
