00:00Bruins, 10th straight loss, and what we've heard after is some interesting quotes.

00:05We're gonna start with Joe Sacco, who's talking about the defense being out there a long time,

00:11and a bit of an excuse. It's a game of momentum, right? There's always momentum swings during the

00:17course of the game, and I think for us in period two sometimes, it's about being able to manage

00:22the game the right way. Like, for example, I think it was the second goal. You know,

00:27we have a defense pair that's out there for a little while. They're tired. They're trying

00:30to change. They're trying to get off the ice. It's a long change, and then we turn the puck

00:34over inside the blue line while our D's changing, which creates a two-on-one. So it's about managing

00:40the game properly and understanding that when they do grab momentum, we have to be able to grab it

00:46back. They're tired? That's what we're saying now? How tired are the teams that are getting

00:51ready to actually participate in the postseason? Now, Nikita Zadorov had an interesting quote

00:58after. He was talking to some reporters, and he was very blunt, and this is what I want to hear,

01:03and I'm thinking Nikita's coming out as one of the main leaders in this dressing room. He said,

01:08the other teams are stronger than us. They want to win more. That's the bottom line. We're just

01:14not hard on the puck. We're easy to play against. We lost 10 in a row. That's as blunt as you can be.

01:21That's the writing on the walls. I would like to hear that from David Pasternak or Charlie

01:25McAvoy, because those two are the ones that we're thinking are going to be captains. I want to see

01:30more fight out of a team and more anger out of a team. I don't want to just hear from Nikita

01:35after games calling it like it is. Especially when you're a road comb back there, Zadorov,

01:40and you get blown by all the time. I get pasta, but when you're a guy that you're saying,

01:48throw yourself at the front of that thing. I think he's including himself. He's not

01:52saying everybody else. I say, then do something about it out there.

01:55Wiggy does not like him. He's making what? I don't either, Wiggs.

01:59Five and a half million, and the guy is, talk about getting knocked off the puck,

02:03kick. He gets knocked off the puck. Besides penalty minutes, what else did he do?

02:08I think he just actually got another tripping call.

02:10What else does he do? This team stinks. They do stink, but where's the change going to be?

02:14Who's going to be the leader in the dressing room that changes?
