00:00Carolina Hurricanes at TD Garden as the Red Hot Bruins were hosting the team that they had beat earlier this month.

00:07No goals scored in the first period. As a matter of fact, it'd be almost midway through the second before anybody would light the lamp, huh?

00:14Carolina getting set up here offensively. Nystrom with a drive. That one knocked down in front and stole!

00:20With one hand able to knock that in and Carolina grabs a 1-0 lead.

00:25Is that good when a goal scorer is able to get right down in front of your goalie and somehow score with only one hand on his stick?

00:32It wasn't just that. He was fending off Andrew Peek with his left hand and swatted the puck in with his right hand.

00:38It was really impressive.

00:39It wasn't like he just had one tie behind his back as a trick shot. He was using the other hand to move a defenseman.

00:46Yes, who couldn't move him out of there.

00:48Not a great second period.

00:50No, as second periods go, this might have been one of the worst.

00:53Yeah, because five minutes after that goal was scored.

00:55Played up the far boards, but Gostespierre gets there to keep in.

00:58Got it through some traffic to Walker.

01:00Back to the far side circle.

01:01Shot knocked down and they score!

01:04Jankowski able to bang home that rebound with 6.26 to go here in the second.

01:10Carolina's up two.

01:13Carolina, a very fast team.

01:15Very good at getting into the zone and attacking right away.

01:19And it also could have been a lot worse because they were hitting posts all over the place.

01:23Swayman, and even though Swayman got beat a couple of times, he was really, really good.

01:27No, Swayman was good.

01:28Could have been 4-1, 4-0, 5-0 easily.

01:32Right.

01:33And also, what did they hit, John?

01:35Two or three posts?

01:36I saw two, but it could have been more.

01:40Swayman saved another goal.

01:41They were a really good look at a shorthanded goal that Carolina had that Swayman made a glove save.

01:48Power play, not really good for the Bruins last night.

01:50Well, okay, so last night, if you want to get to the end of the game, you can, and then we can kind of discuss it.

01:57You want to hear the one Bruins goal?

01:59Sure.

01:59Lumell batted it toward Yoki Haru.

02:02Off of Tufty, here's Ace-am on Stuffer near post.

02:05And they get a second chance and they score!

02:10And I believe Riley Tufty might get this one.

02:13Oh, yeah.

02:14On the rebound after the Stuffer attempt.

02:16With about 10 seconds left in the game, there's your power play goal.

02:21That's kind of like Sweet Caroline in the eighth inning when you're down by 10 runs.

02:24You know what I mean?

02:27Everyone's dancing all over the place, and it's 3-1 with 10 seconds left.

02:32So, look, the Bruins have been very good over a pretty long stretch.

02:37It's not their fault last night.

02:39They're just so banged up.

02:41There's two guys that have never played before up there.

02:44Tufty and Blumell both got called up for Providence for their first game of the season.

02:48Right.

02:48So, it's a tough game to watch because, again, they're missing three of their top six forwards,

02:56their top two centers.

02:57Arvidsson got placed on injured reserve.

02:59So did Middlestad.

03:01Lindholm is out.

03:02Oh, yeah.

03:03McAvoy didn't play either last night.

03:04McAvoy's out because he got hit in the face with a puck.

03:06So, it was, you know, it didn't look like, it looked like, in a lot of ways, not necessarily

03:15the way they played, but just from a name standpoint, like a Providence-Bruins game.

03:19It was, it didn't seem like the Bruins.

03:22This team, if you look at it, doesn't seem to have a lot of offensive depth to start with.

03:27Although, the second and the third and fourth line guys have chipped in, but you expect

03:33the top two lines to carry the weight for most of your games.

03:37You're missing half of your top six forwards at this point, plus your best defenseman.

03:41And Ryan Johnson's going to be on next hour, but they're saying Elias Lindholm might be

03:48on the road back.

03:50You heard that.

03:51They're saying that he could be back.

03:53He's getting better.

03:54He might join them on the trip at some point.

03:56They have a four-game road trip, which starts tomorrow.

03:59Yeah, so, they're super banged up.

04:01It's just, the team going into the season had so many names that you might not be familiar

04:06with, and then last night, it was just like, oh my God.

04:09Yeah.

04:10Like, you know, this is...

04:12You already got Hustadino skating with the top line, and now it's just, you know, take

04:16the names out of the hat.

04:17It's patchwork at this point.

04:19Because they've got me back.

04:20I mean, I am, you know, interested, obviously very interested in the team again.

04:25They've been very good over this stretch, but it's just, it's hard, at least for me.

04:31Well...

04:31Last night, I mean, and then they were so badly outplayed in the second period, but would

04:36you get mad at them?

04:37No, Carolina's really good.

04:39Carolina has a better record than them.

04:41Even though the Bruins are in first place in their division, Carolina's in the other

04:44division.

04:44They had a better record.

04:45And let's be honest, they're just a better team.

04:47And by the way, Carolina was missing one of their best defensemen last night, too.

04:51So, I mean, Slavin didn't play.

04:54So, I mean, even banged up, Carolina still was better.

04:58But the Bruins, this banged up, I mean, any win they can get is, you know, like kind of

05:04they grabbed it out of a hat.
