00:00Of course, the Boston Bruins look to try to right the ship tonight at 7.30 in Buffalo.
00:06You can hear that game on our airwaves this evening.
00:10Fluto, hello, sir.
00:12Good morning, Fred.
00:13Hey, nice talking to you.
00:14Now, not such a good outing.
00:18About as bad as you could possibly look in that first, certainly that first period two days ago.
00:25The worst period, hands down, no discussion over the whole year.
00:28It was a full amateur hour's worth of play in 20 minutes.
00:34It was just, and it kept getting worse, Fred.
00:37You think, okay, one goal, two goals.
00:39Okay, this is where they dig in and push back and at least tilt the ice.
00:44But no, it was just the entire 20 minutes, start to finish, just, and the puck play was just outrageously
00:52bad.
00:53And just not professional the way that they managed the puck.
00:59And this was some of your best players.
01:01This was McAvoy bombing that pass to his partner.
01:04This was Hampus Lindholm.
01:05Just a pop-up right up the middle of the ice trying to clear the puck.
01:10So, it was clear to see where their issues were.
01:15They were entirely in their own zone.
01:17They give the goalie zero chance to be a difference maker.
01:21And it's lights out after 20.
01:23There was, the game was over.
01:25You've got to start preparing for the next game.
01:27And here we are for game five.
01:29The thing that really bothers me about this series, Fluto, is the missed opportunity in game one.
01:35And they scored first in game three, two.
01:38In a perfect world, it could be 3-1 the other way instead of 3-1 down.
01:43Yep, yep, for sure, John.
01:46But it's going the wrong way.
01:48I don't think they were at all displeased, aside from the outcome, the style in which they played game one.
01:55That was, they were pleased with everything that, in terms of the execution.
02:01Game two, obviously, went their way.
02:03In game three, you could say, oh, this is not, this is where Buffalo is starting to look like Buffalo.
02:09And then, of course, game four.
02:10So, you can see it, just the momentum of the series is completely slipping away from the Bruins.
02:18So, it's not headed in a good direction.
02:21Granted, it's just you have to win one game.
02:23And they can certainly do that.
02:25They have that spirit that they've shown all year, in terms of being a team that doesn't quit, that's going
02:31to fight.
02:33Granted, they're banged up now.
02:35So, they might be missing a guy or two, which is not ideal.
02:40But they just have to be better with the puck in their end.
02:43And then go from there.
02:45We'll see.
02:45We'll see.
02:46We'll see.
02:46Yeah.
