00:00News broke during Felger and Maz yesterday regarding your Boston Bruins.
00:04Maz, you ready for it to move?
00:06Sure, go!
00:07Boston Bruins just tweeting,
00:09Higgins is here!
00:13The NHL, hashtag NHL Bruins,
00:15signing James Higgins to a three-year entry-level contract.
00:19So I'd expect to see him Saturday, the next time the Bruins are in action.
00:24Alright, so Maz, very excited.
00:26Wow, what happened there?
00:27Yeah, I mean, wow, he's super excited.
00:30Goodness, alright.
00:31What was Felger's reaction?
00:32I'm just prepared to be disappointed on James Higgins.
00:35I am. Call me defeatist or whatever.
00:37Defeatist.
00:37I think the kid's gonna suck.
00:39I've watched no, I've watched zero James, zero.
00:42I never saw him at BC.
00:44I didn't watch him at all in Providence.
00:45I haven't even seen a clip.
00:46I swear to God, I've not seen one clip ever of James Higgins.
00:51But you heard it here first.
00:52That kid's gonna suck.
00:53Well, there you go. It's a good point.
00:55Okay.
00:56You know what?
00:57He makes a compelling argument.
00:59Yeah.
01:00I mean, who's to argue?
01:01He's honest.
01:03I mean, he could be right.
01:04I've never seen him play, but take my word for it.
01:07I know nothing about this, but the coin landed tails.
01:10So.
01:11This kid's gonna suck.
01:14And by the way, how much is he gonna suck playing like nine minutes a game?
01:19Yeah.
01:19So he'll be on the second power play.
01:21Yes.
01:22He'll be on the third line.
01:23Left wing.
01:24Yes.
01:24Third line.
01:25So, I mean, how much is this kid even gonna play?
01:27Steve's did just...
01:28We read this number yesterday.
01:30Steve's, in the last game, the third line left wing, played ten minutes.
01:34Yeah.
01:34So, we'll play nine, ten minutes in the game.
01:36Yeah.
01:37Wow.
01:37You can't do any worse.
01:39You honestly can't do any worse.
01:41This kid is not gonna hurt you.
01:43No more than anyone else has been playing that position.
01:45I guess if he's a complete defensive liability, but I don't even know really how much that
01:51would manifest itself.
01:52Did you see the last game?
01:54No, I know what you're saying.
01:59Believe me.
01:59I won Hagan's playing.
02:00I think it would be great.
02:02For anything else, it's like, okay, they're not gonna win the Stanley Cup this year, but
02:07okay, so they're in the playoffs.
02:10This is exciting.
02:12Why not add a little piece of the future to it right now, and then you're kind of...
02:16You know what then that reminds me of?
02:19It reminds me of, I guess, 2007-2008, when they played Montreal in the first round of
02:25the playoffs and took them to seven games, and they had that young core.
02:29Maybe that's...
02:30But they did have Chara and Savard.
02:33Yes.
02:34But they did have Bergeron and that young core in there, and so you were looking at them
02:41building something, and with Hagan's coming up...
02:44Hell yeah!
02:45I get a little...
02:46Ha ha ha ha!
02:48Jeez.
02:49What's going on with him?
02:50Oh my god!
02:51I love Maz, but my lord.
02:53Boy, he certainly likes James Hagan.
