00:00it's funny like hockey can play tricks on you if you are thinking about your perception of a certain
00:09team a certain rival and that they're always this one way like boston is the next game boston's
00:15coming in here on wednesday night and that's a team that i still perceive as probably thinking
00:24they're above you even though they're not in the standings like they're to me they could try to do
00:30a lot of what tampa did a couple weeks ago when they come in here like we're the bruins by
00:36the way
00:36like and here's where it gets sketchy because i'm not sure who the guys are currently on the
00:42roster for this you know i mean like i'm not sure who they've got right zadorov but yeah okay good
00:51place to start that's a headhunter knee a knee knee got like he's he scored on yeah saturday night but
00:57he's got he's he's got yeah he he'll hurt you uh kind of on purpose right um but i could
01:04just see
01:04the bruins wanting to like test this all right are you ready for this i was talking to a bruins
01:11fan
01:11friend of mine yesterday afternoon about this like you know how good how good are you like honestly
01:16i'm just asking like how good do you think your team is are they are they good good or they
01:19just
01:20kind of like gonna get in good it's like it'll be interesting to see what if they can play heavy
01:27in the playoffs and whether that that that game you know that wherever the whatever kind of year
01:32they've had they're outshined by a few teams in the division but if we're capable of playing this way
01:38right along the walls and just muddying the game up um then you know that's an experienced group there
01:45maybe they can pull that off um i just think every one of these teams that has historically been
01:52i mean everybody's taking turns being ahead of the sabers i mean the sabers have been in last place a
01:57lot i just think everybody's gonna want to turn it they're like are you really up for this you really
02:03yeah yeah yeah oh about a spear in the groin how's that feel yeah all right you want a little
02:08more
02:09i could just see hockey teams being that way and the bruins we'll see again like that's who they are
02:14that's who their reputation has been i'm not sure that that's still them but i have expect them to
02:20come out like with foil taped on their hands well i certainly don't have to tell you this but that's
02:26always sort of the the tactic of the second best team on the ice you set up for a playoff
02:31series you
02:32know if the other team is better than you or at least their record is and you know you take
02:37your
02:37shots the flyers in uh oh six right what were the two teams one was big and old and dirty
02:45you know
02:46kinda and the sabers were fast and smaller so what happens and you can't be something you're not i mean
02:56i don't think you want to be i what i'm saying is and i think you'd agree this piece with
03:01this sabers
03:02team seems in character it doesn't seem like a team that's forcing it in that way we're just gonna
03:07have to jump this guy because that happened no it seems like authentic which i think is good so the
03:13the underdog will probably want to do that and if reputation and history and those things factor
03:19into that then so be it uh but you're probably right and you got to figure out how much time
03:25and
03:26energy do you want to invest in trying to keep up with that because it doesn't have to work like
03:32you
03:33right you get in the box and you know you could see it all slip away right there yeah i
03:38think the
03:38reason what just to fill it out from my line of thinking because i agree with you i think the
03:45underdog usually takes on that role in this case like it's a little bit to me yes i don't want
03:53to end
03:53up on the wrong end of penalty things what i'm hoping i'm gonna do is i'm gonna get you to
03:59overreact
03:59like i'm gonna push you in ways that you know teams get pushed at this time of the year
04:05and you're new here are you you know do you know the move do you know do you know when
04:12enough is
04:12enough right or are you gonna go one one too far and so you're gonna get the extra two i
04:19just think
04:19it's a tactic to try to use on a greenish non-experienced playoff team yeah i'm just gonna
04:25try to you know i think i'm gonna win the series by intimidating you but i might get the odd
04:32extra
04:32power play out of it and that's maybe all i need it's the playoffs you know we're in a tight
04:36game
04:36in game one and i i suck you into something stupid behind the net and you take the extra penalty
04:42i score
04:43i win three two thanks for coming you know like i think it's stuff like that but be trying to
04:48just
04:48sort of set the just set it up for you to see can this team handle emotionally handle themselves
04:56if we tweak them i think the sabers should be ready to get tweaked i think i would do it
05:01like
05:01if that's why tampa you could see tampa coming up from a million miles away a couple of weeks ago
05:06i mean they all the team the sabers all said it they knew that that was going to happen i
05:12think
05:12there'll be more of that over this next three weeks or so even into the playoffs oh yeah well
05:19into a series yeah yeah you're you're up 3-1 late in game one you better believe there's going to
05:27be
05:27cross checks in the neck and all kinds of crap because it's just this is how it goes like welcome
05:33back
05:33yeah really
