00:00Is there anything just to be watchful for at the start of his season trend-wise in the NHL?
00:08Does goaltending tend to need more time to ramp up,
00:12or are the goalies generally ahead of, say, the shot makers and the goal scorers?
00:20That's a good question. I might have to do a little research on that today.
00:24It's like the pitching versus the hitting at the start of the baseball season.
00:27I just want to be on the lookout. If Swayman looks really good tonight,
00:33I'm not falling into the trap of, yeah, goalies tend to look better at the start of the season
00:38because the guys really don't have their legs yet, and the goal scorers aren't in top form yet.
00:43Or maybe it's the other way around. I'm not sure.
00:46Yeah, I mean, one would think that the goalies get worn down over the course of a season.
00:51So in the early part of the season, they would be at their freshest.
00:55And both Swayman and Corpus Allo, I thought, looked really good during the preseason.
01:01So that's something that you would hope you'd get right out of the gate.
01:05The Bruins didn't get last year.
01:06I remember opening night down in Florida last year where the defense looked porous
01:12and the goaltending was not great right out of the shoot.
01:16And, you know, that was supposed to be one of the strengths of the team going into the season.
01:21And I remember Beerzy and I kind of looking at each other during that game going,
01:24oof, this is not what was advertised.
01:27So, you know, hopefully it's a little bit better start from that regard tonight.
01:32All right.
01:33All right. Well, Ryan Johnston.
