00:00on the expectation that he and cam neely and the chairman had for this bruins team and it sounds
00:09like they believe he doesn't want to say it doesn't want the fellas to be overconfident but
00:13they believe they have exceeded just by getting here have exceeded an expectation so uh yeah i
00:21have been um getting a lot of feedback in my personal life about this argument i have a lot
00:27of hockey hardos in my personal life and they have been uh giving me their opinions oh i.e your
00:33husband no no no no no other other friends of mine who have been saying you and wiggy are way
00:41off base
00:41with this you don't know what you're talking about you sound crazy and i'm like okay it's funny like
00:48whenever you say anything about hockey that it becomes you don't know what you're talking about
00:51yeah don't go okay fine yeah my bit my boy big worm that we know from the dating show was
00:58like yo
00:59every time he brings it up on the construction site they ready to come to blows oh yeah so i
01:05mean that
01:05could be just worms nature yeah i don't go down that road where does big worm stand he stands on
01:12he
01:12stands on with with with me and mego on the basketball side that when we talk about and just
01:17even here like like think about the you know uh we just heard what was that sweeney we were listening
01:24to yeah the expectations it's like so if the bruins lose in six people are gonna be like all right
01:31you
01:32know is there any difference in and shy maybe this is something that you want to weigh in on is
01:36there
01:36any difference between the that you see between the conference that with the bruins versus we all know
01:44that the schedule that the patriots had when they were ahead of schedule and totally overachieved
01:49over the last season was such an easy path for them well and i think that's one of the major
01:53differences like if you're comparing bruins and and patriots right the patriots were a two seed and the
01:58rest of the afc was kind of bad like it was just really the only guy you were actually even
02:03really
02:03scared of was josh allen and he was out before you even saw him and so uh when you look
02:09at the east for
02:10the nhl playoffs the bruins are what the seven seed overall like i don't know it's it seems very
02:17very different to me when you're talking about stuff like that and in a in a east that's pretty
02:21good and granted buffalo this is the first time they've been uh good in quite a long time like this
02:26is the first playoff appearance in over a decade so i mean we can kind of only assume what they're
02:33going to do in the playoffs but they are the number one seed in the east or the number two
02:36seed in the
02:36east i just think like when we talk you know and people always go into comparing the sports
02:42and i'm not trying to compare the sports i'm just oh you've been comparing the sports no no i compare
02:46the way we view the sports and how we view their success versus their non-success like when you start
02:55to hear like the overachievement the underachievement of the big three in basketball i heard a sigh back
03:00there well i'm going to explain it to you the underachievement of the big three in basketball
03:04with pierce garnett and ray allen we criticize them about them being underachievers but when we
03:12bring up that same type of conversation with bergeron marcia creachie chara it's like
03:21tuca it's just like well marcia was playing and bergeron was playing with a collapsed lung
03:28way she goes boys yeah it's like you know i mean it's hard to win in hockey we get that
03:34all the
03:34time it's so but it's so hard to win in hockey but yet people say yeah you get an eight
03:39seed can
03:39be the one seed all the time right that's the point that's why it's hard but wouldn't that be
03:44easier no that's why it's hard because normally the one seed would roll like how in the nba most
03:4990 90 of the time the one seed just kind of rolls through the first so doesn't that shine then
03:54if the
03:55bruins are a seven seed doesn't that mean that the bruins shouldn't have their expectations based
03:59on the seed that they are right because it would be easy for them to win they should be have
04:03their
04:03expectations based on the team's actual ability correct not based on the way they're perceived
04:09the notion that we can compare in any way what the celtics roster is now to what the bruins roster
04:15is now and say that they should have similar expectations is entirely a dishonest approach to
04:21the realities of each team well their roster i would say that the bruins roster if you looked
04:27at it compared to the celtics roster you would think wiggy stop this is not even close it's not
04:34even close five it's five players in the nba no no but we're talking about the roster no yes and
04:39you
04:39have two all nba players and you're starting five max guys right and an all defensive player in derrick
04:45white and his former six man of the year don't you have we doing don't you have two of the
04:52top 10
04:53guys at their position imposter and mcavoy okay out of and out of the 18 players that play and listen
05:00i would say that derrick white kind of made a name for himself to say like peyton pritchett now and
05:07i
05:07love peyton pritchett you know walking bucket sam hauser nemus cater shireman hugo wiggie have you
05:16looked at the bruins roster ugo excuse me yeah ugo have you looked at the guys roster yeah i looked
05:23at the bruins roster arvidson middlestad but if you minton but if you look at the top end talent
05:30zadoroff linddorf is not a top end talent stop i'm talking about compared to the celtics roster yes
05:35not good both the lindhomes zadoroff your goalie it's not even close the celtics roster is
05:41exponentially better this is not the way that anybody talked about it last summer is my point
05:46last summer was celtics are tearing it down to the studs right it's gonna be like is jason tatum
05:52even gonna come back this year and the expectations were largely that they were gonna be maybe a 40 41
05:58win team which of those teams has exceeded the expectation more obviously the celtics yeah
06:05the celtics not even close and not according to wiggie wiggie thought they were a top three team
06:09in the east so you can't say that wiggie all right well well that's me the bruins weren't a playoff
06:12team
06:13wiggie has very high standards for everyone that is me i have a high standard for the celtics you know
06:17what i mean the bruins weren't supposed to be a playoff team everybody thought the celtics would be in
06:21the playoffs are they a couple that's not true yeah i don't know that is not true no stop everybody
06:27on
06:27the planet thought the celtics were gonna be in the playoffs it is so funny everybody because everybody
06:31you know what the funny part is back megal this is let's please yeah like some people thought they
06:35might be in the playoff play-in game but we don't know everybody said they would be in the playoffs
06:39people are saying what if they decide to tank what if they take what if they take the option of
06:44hey
06:44the worst thing to be in the nba is a team in purgatory right that's middling and you don't even
06:49have a draft pick you can't get in the lottery that wasn't realistic i'm talking about the way that
06:54people talk about this because one person says that doesn't make it actual and shine is such a fraud
06:59because people would say in the nhl and curtis says it all the time i don't know if he'll live
07:05up to it but it's easy for teams to make the postseason in hockey so it is in basketball too
07:11like there's 20 of them that make so then if you're going into the season the bruins had only
07:18missed the playoffs what one year last year and prior to that they were in the postseason
07:21if you're going into the season i think most people thought like oh the bruins should be a
07:27playoff wiggy they were plus 400 i don't care what vegas has vegas still doesn't have jalen brown
07:33in the top three when it comes to mv because he's not going to win mvp well i don't so
07:38what vegas says
07:39i don't it's not gospel but i got the yes yes it is true no he's not going to win
07:45mvp which is why
07:46he's not on the odds no it's not gospel is what i'm saying i don't believe in what you just
07:51want to
07:51make sure that you are quoting the gospel and not pulp fiction i don't understand this but like
07:56i really don't this is such a crazy argument what's the crazy argument do they get do they
08:02i love when wiki asks a question and then immediately talk i was gonna give you i was
08:06gonna ask you a question oh okay i'll tell you i was gonna ask you a question do they get
08:09you did
08:10then you kept talking do they get treated the same when it comes to the fan bases of how we
08:15criticize
08:15them the bruins fans are far more critical of their team than celtics fans by a wide margin
08:20thank you curtis we talked about this but i think it's okay for we talked about this briefly
08:28yesterday it's okay for your expectation to change as the season goes along no i get it happened with
08:33the patriots and then it happened with the celtics and the return of jason tatum and what he was so
08:39i have higher expectations clearly now i think then i did going into the season and and they should
08:47they should easily win a couple series here or else that's or else that is a failure the celtics
08:55yes yeah i agree with you on that i agree with you on that you're not disputing that and i
08:59guarantee
08:59like i was right yesterday when it came to the manager coaching poll i'm going to bet you dollars to
09:05donuts on this one if you say what team gets criticized the least in this market i would guarantee you
09:12the boston bruins would be at the bottom no chance i would guarantee
