00:00over to the Boston Bruins. Marco Sturm spoke yesterday and our own Scott McLaughlin
00:03asked him a question I know Courtney Cox has been wondering why James Higgins doesn't have
00:08more on his plate. We can hear from Coach Marco. When I feel it right that's I did it with
00:16other
00:17guys so that's just the way it is. You know the other night he turned out three pucks and he
00:24ended
00:24up in our net. And he's good as long as we have that conversation and when I feel he's
00:33ready he will be. Last game he only missed one shift. That's a win. He's fine. He's better
00:43than we all thought he would be and we're going to build him up. There's no rush.
00:50All right. So is that a good enough explanation for you Courtney? Because you I mean you have
00:56been on this for quite some time that he is holding the young guys back a little bit.
01:02Yeah I guess I was just I was looking it up because yeah David Pasternak leads the Bruins
01:08when it comes to goals right now. James Higgins right behind him with six. But then you look
01:12at turnovers giveaways. Pasta leads with 32. Higgins is there at 18. Yeah. So I.
01:19Well clearly I clearly Marco's like oh well you know they they have confidence in him but
01:25they still think he makes a lot of critical mistakes that of what he say he had three
01:31turnovers that led to goals. Yeah. He's saying that your captain has a double. But yeah has
01:36double. Exceptional people what's the saying you always say Greg? We make exceptions for exceptional
01:40people. And listen this isn't a slight against David Pasternak. David Pasternak should be on
01:44the ice as as much as humanly possible. But I think if you've got the puck a lot and if
01:48you are if you are leading to goals being scored you also could be leading to pucks being turned
01:54over. Like I think one comes with the other. I also I get this weird feeling that like Marco
01:59doesn't want to play Higgins as much as he is playing him. Like he doesn't like him for
02:03some reason. It might be no or it might just be a like a I trust my veterans thing and
02:09I would
02:09much rather play older guys. Whereas Don and Cam might be saying hey Marco like this
02:14kid's 19. He's awesome. As you can see by the goals he's scoring like you need to play
02:18him as much as possible. And there might be a little bit of not like actual tension but
02:22like a little bit of discussion there between the two. You know what it reminds me of Cora
02:28Red Sox Brez bought front office where Cora is like let's let's let the young guys got
02:35to earn their stripes. They have to earn it. It's an earn your stripe thing maybe. And
02:39it seems like that like Sean when you mentioned that it kind of does seem like he's very hesitant
02:45like he's not overly like all right I'm going to get praise him too much. It's more of like
02:50ah he's got to earn it. Yeah he's doing well but it's like he's doing well but let me let
02:56me tell you what I see. I mean they got they have a young core of really good guys and
03:03so and
03:04you have the luxury I think if you're winning hockey games which they are right of bringing
03:09them along slowly and so right you know it may be more important in his mind like when
03:15it comes to Morgan Geeky like to get Morgan Geeky back to scoring goals which he had one
03:20said a couple last few guys. So I don't know. This is going to be great. I like I don't
03:27want
03:27it to be misconstrued that like I don't like Marco Sturm. I think Marco Sturm is an unbelievable
03:32coach. It just begs the question if you are down in a game as this hockey team and you
03:39don't have Hagans on the ice and you lose that game is it worth it for him to earn quote
03:45earn
03:45his strike. But he doesn't think he's ready though. I know I know I think that I think
03:48that was a wild thing to bring up when you're asked that question to bring over giving the
03:52puck away. And that's why I said this is going to be very interesting come trade deadline because
03:58yeah he might be giving those guys opportunities. But this if he doesn't believe those guys are
04:04going to be ready. Do they become buyers if they are in a position Larkin's name was everywhere
04:09yesterday. And I know I think the person who originally mentioned it may not actually be
04:13a reliable source. But regardless like Dylan Larkin's name was everywhere yesterday.
04:19Oh you know. So who is the original source? I don't remember some guy. It begins with an S
04:26like Shugsy or something like that. Shug. I don't know. So do they. Was it coach Eric
04:32Shun? No. I was not an Eric Shun. I would know that. I mean Cakes in the OU812 in the
04:41Twitch chat
04:41says six goals is earning it when it comes to Hagans. So I don't know. Maybe. But yeah. But
04:47he's people who think he's earned it. Yeah. But it seems like based off even though the one
04:52thing that's Sturm said there about oh he's lucky he only missed one shift or it was something
04:58along it was like yeah and I and I do Courtney I see what you're saying he's very hesitant to
05:04give
05:04this kid kudos because it's almost like yeah but if I had my druthers I'd be playing somebody else
05:14it seems like. I get what you're saying and that's why it's going to be interesting to see what happens
05:18with this team if they are like you know potential buyers. And I understand because you were not
05:24saying anything about David Pasternak. I mean he has the puck more and so I think probably his issue
05:31with Hagans is where he is turning over the puck and how costly those turnovers are. Yeah yeah he said
05:36that. He's like three turnovers three goals. Yeah so that's you know that's an issue there. All right.
