00:00617-779-7937.
00:03Are the Bruins actually good?
00:04You can discuss their, Keefe.
00:06They're tough and they're entertaining.
00:07You just said, I agree.
00:08They are entertaining for sure.
00:10They're worth your money right now and the Celtics aren't.
00:11We said that earlier in the week.
00:13I'll stand by that.
00:14You just said you still don't think they're a playoff team.
00:16No.
00:17So you don't really think they're that good?
00:19No.
00:20Okay.
00:20No, not yet.
00:21But they're better than I thought.
00:24So, you know, in a weird way.
00:25We thought they were in the mix for the number one pick.
00:27So they're also better than I thought.
00:28So they're better than that, right?
00:28And I think they're not, like, they might even just play too hard and then they might
00:32have, you know, too much top-end talent.
00:35And even a guy like, you know, so you obviously have Pasternak who's like an MVP candidate.
00:39You have McAvoy who should be like a Norris candidate.
00:42If the goalies aren't bad, like, I'm not expecting them to be like top-end goalies, but if they're
00:46better than that, and then you're getting good performances here and there from like Geeky
00:50and the Hamper, that's not a number one overall pick bad team.
00:56No.
00:56I don't think.
00:57Like, and so they're playing hard.
00:58I just wonder over the course of a long season, I don't, they might be in that, like, bad
01:03place where you're like, you're not a playoff team, but you're not at the bottom and you're
01:06like second team out of the playoffs.
01:09And you're like, ugh.
01:10Like, I don't know.
01:10That's tough.
01:11Where it's like, you're not bad enough.
01:14And also you have like a first-year coach who's going to try to win every single game.
01:17Like, I don't think you're bad enough to be considered one of like the worst teams in the league.
01:19And I guess that would be disappointing if that's what they are.
01:21Like, first team out of the playoffs, second team out of the playoffs at the end of the
01:24year.
01:25But as you just said, that, I wouldn't, I wouldn't then turn around and criticize them and be
01:28like, they should have tanked.
01:29They should have gone to the bottom of the league.
01:31Like, I'm okay with them making a good, honest effort at trying to make the playoffs.
01:34They don't have a good roster.
01:35They have some good players.
01:37McAvoy was a monster last night, at least on that final shift.
01:40I want to get into it.
01:40Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:41But, you know, I think, I think their roster is lacking.
01:45If they don't get into the postseason, I'm not going to fault the players or even Sturm
01:48for that.
01:49And I won't look back at Sweeney and Neely and say they should have tanked.
01:52I'll say they should have built a better roster.
01:54Right.
01:54And I'll criticize them for that.
01:55But I won't say they should have, as one man put it, gagged for Gavin.
01:59No, I've got to put the graphic on ice.
02:02The little meme I made with Gavin, kind of looking back knowingly.
02:05But real quick, like the Eastern Conference right now, I think this is where we might say
02:09something similar.
02:09Not a lot of separation.
02:10The top team in the East has 20 points.
02:12The worst team in the East has 14 points.
02:14And the games have started to level up.
