00:00You got a minute for me to push back on a narrative that Boston is trying to sell?
00:04Okay.
00:05Did they play a perfect game for 50 minutes?
00:07Why does anybody think they played a perfect game for 50 minutes?
00:10No.
00:11I keep hearing that.
00:13We played perfect for 50 minutes.
00:14You're hearing that?
00:15Yes.
00:16Marco Sturm said it.
00:18Boston media is saying it.
00:20We just played a perfect game and then collapsed.
00:22Well, there's definitely some collapse in there, but you tell me for the tonight, line
00:28it up.
00:28You want to get outshot 36 to 18 through 50 minutes?
00:31You want that?
00:32Like, I'll sign up for that.
00:33Perfect.
00:34That's your perfect game is to get ragdolled, to get out hit, out chanced, out skated, out
00:40shot, but be winning two to nothing because of like a couple of bounces.
00:45That's perfect.
00:46Well, okay.
00:47I think that is to right now, right now, Boston Bruins hockey, perfect Boston Bruins hockey
00:57looks like the first 50 minutes of that game.
00:59You happen to have the lead?
01:01Right.
01:01Like, because they're not very good.
01:03And they are going to grit their way and goaltend their way to, we have the lead.
01:09And that's, to me, their season.
01:11That's a reason they're 28th in the league in expected goals for share.
01:15Like, they are used to being controlled in a way that they were in the first 50 minutes
01:21of that game, but working their way to the 2-0 lead.
01:25There is something in their numbers about that.
01:26Like, their PDO, their puck luck, they're very high.
01:29The Sabres are high, too, but Boston is also very high.
01:31Yeah.
01:32Like, they don't necessarily need the puck to score a lot, but, okay, then it's their
01:37version of perfect.
01:38Right, that's what I mean.
01:39Because they're accustomed to that this year.
01:42I think it's the mark of a team that's not very good, but you look at, like, they've been
01:45outshot by 100 on the season, and shot attempts, they've been outshot by 200 on the year.
01:53Like, just, they are used to the team, being the team that doesn't have the puck as often.
01:56So, for them, that's not really new.
01:59The Sabres had the puck for 50 minutes, and they were cycling around, and, like, I think
02:04that is what the Bruins are used to, because they're not that talented.
02:08I think the idea that they're selling that that's a perfect game, in general, is nuts.
02:13I might want to hear them and the Boston media then sell that instead of perfect as...
02:18Just a general perfect, yeah.
02:19Just instead sell it as, like, we were happy with how we were playing, as opposed to perfect.
02:25Perfect.
02:26Yeah, right.
02:27Perfect is pretty strong.
02:28Those are two very different things.
02:29I feel like perfect, you might be up 3-0, 5-0, 8-0.
02:33Perfect?
