The patriots do not play on Sunday of course they have Monday Night Football and Baltimore against the ravens. If you -- your family are looking for something to do Sunday. Well late afternoon or early evening. I might suggest a a special charity hockey game it's called energy on ice sponsored by Aspen technology which is a software company in Burlington. The CEO of which is Mark Bosco former Harvard US Olympic and NHL player. The Aspen -- all stars which includes people like Don Sweeney and Tony Monte and Ted -- Bobby carpenter. Guys like that will take on 18 from -- Russia known as -- as prom export Igor larionov Valeri kamensky people like that the game will take place Sunday. At the edge sports that are 191 -- wrote in Bedford. The Stanley Cup will be there for photos beginning at three game starts at 530 doors open at three and this guy will lace them up and play again as well. -- defenseman ray Bork is on the line hey --

I don't Loria the right -- tell you let's go Andre by Michael helped negotiate. I -- how does dale. Yeah actually you tell me yeah. I don't doubt that it is not how good I have at the top and I am just try to call in right off the bat get people out there. -- could appreciate it I'd probably all she'll just ST Paul Stewart -- anyway right.

Law you know he's he -- Japan -- along with a cup. Most Tuesday will probably be the most awful things where.

Pay out what was the last time you played a hockey game

one is that I'll actually went out are -- a couple of times last couple weeks just to try to. Get my legs go a little bit but -- what's calls he's an and so it skipped a couple of times a week. Explosion next college guys so that hasn't officially started for -- could still play golf but. You know oh pretty good the other day exhibition if on gave the albeit throat alumni team play this -- last couple years and we lost both games and territorial last year it was pretty competitive and let the action.

That's why I ask what part of that was yet knuckles plan but but but I was going to. I asked because I seen gas from play and and they take its real seriously.

had to do you know -- gotta say that we do as well there's always that clutch factor that comes in the play when a player eruptions so it should be -- should be a lot of -- were great market as company donated a lot of money terms trying to. -- hockey groups and charities in eastern Massachusetts and in Russia I -- erupt. And to -- a lot of kids duplicate its market place so it's it's for the and it's a lot on what -- score on if you were also asked people to negate -- to elevate the support for our -- the difference for christmas tinsel. That's spot -- would get together you know some of the next move in. -- I watched like -- ought to good bunch of guys in the should be good levels like you know not that the yeah the charity hockey game yours you'll played competitive of this of the untouchables apples around --

Now -- when you mention ex Bruins it it makes me think of your former teammate cam Neely -- kind of a big deal right now with the Bruins and it leads me to this now he's doing it's pretty they have pretty significant job but the Bruins we would give phone calls from people who say world. Of -- wore coats what a report I was involved in this past that you have any interest in coaching.

Are now -- not so all of that well. It's it's say. You've really got to committed right now. To Croatia job you as a player all you have to do is prepare yourself -- picture that you're going to play the game as a coach. Appreciable picture they're ready record though. I -- agents say if you. Increasing job you'll be -- person to blow it really that it about. Oh I'd also be able about as a player. -- loved watching porches and what they were true which party. It's on right now the or watch to charge plate you'll be flexible terms of troubles watched them -- An -- it was in the 20 years. Right now it's going to be the word is you know if -- flexible you'll. Well it.

You had an interesting thing happened to the earlier this fallen. And it it took your hockey experience to a completely different level your son got called up. Made his NHL debut you've got -- hop on a plane to Atlanta and CF what was that like sitting in the stands watching that.

Those incredible -- horrible how hard they're crucial work over there. Special last few years in the minors for a couple of years. It got called on Sunday night. -- if he's. Let me know that -- to play huge real question -- or double double what you play. Well -- can in the under 17 chess player is that a great job. Just ordinary in particular while most of them -- public -- watched the first actual game he -- For -- you know it is -- to play child shall vote. At first pace was -- the field.

I talk about his progression that's something that I want to ask you about because I think. People look at his last name and they assume of course he's he's a professional hockey player of the coolest dad is. But -- did you see it when he was 910 years old did you think oh yes my son will be playing in the NHL one day.

Arm I he's always highly skilled patterns player. Regardless what and so guys that was great players in gifted. Some reason or another couldn't crack in approach day in and maintain libel or or forced some little reason there's something curvature worker or whatever it is and so much not only talent but dedication you know to stick and you know I've broken. European players and -- but now it's truly a world league as a player. All the over place I think it's a lot -- get there now in -- it's flight 8180. So he's. Doesn't the in the opposite of the quality of what statement is -- double smaller in an issue. Not that's how bad. That is management's lies and certainly has the skill and dedication lots of guys that he -- age he had the action you know and love play hockey so most things while abuse past you. Sort there.

There is one sad thing that that we should talk about this morning and I believe that that you're in Falmouth and and heading for the funeral services for. The great Tom Johnson the last coach of Boston Bruins Stanley Cup championship team and and I think people around here don't realize how great a player he was in his days with the Montreal Canadians but a guy who who probably had as quick a whip and a sharp but -- as anybody I've ever dealt with ranked.

Sure there -- your third -- return to what I -- you're it was entertaining and you know pocket such. Dedication for the game on the and so -- the players play on in Chicago I think our our partners you know incredible career as a player and as a coach and punishment in the game for so truly special. Pocketbook Yugoslav. You know a little joke little job four before or after gave --

regulars an example of that wit what kind of stuff what you say to you.

While his job beyond on if you devoted but long term negate your care about it afterwards it polished finished. A chip in on it while I don't -- He would. You know it would chapter in. Pretty which certain that would go -- through. Completed cap exception future you know if -- look. Opening all about waltrip gave you hear about it afterward that went well he can. Joke about it church street -- to be.

Well let you go tell me your impressions of how the Bruins have performed so far this season they're I think sixth in the Eastern Conference today may be sneaking up on some people.

Yeah I think they are -- its Star Search and Thomas and Parrish all others. Given the -- departure in -- I think -- watch -- defensively and I think that's -- you gotta be -- going to be strong and keep in those goals against down on its struggle to score goals but it seems like -- Murton has picked -- derby and storm's course -- really -- and so I think they have surprise -- they've been consistent and they've been part of the -- that's what you like to -- I think their -- way -- the you know to look at the -- so commercial one oh is that he gets if it was from the majors. More -- entries as that mr. Shall persevere at this -- history.

Let me just ask you about that quickly we've seen a couple of instances this year where the Bruins have been victimized. Both times by the Philadelphia flyers -- my dad is there less respect for players -- on the ice now than there was when you were --

I don't think so that the guys are bigger and stronger now and you know even when I played whatever there's always. There's always certain things that you know everything that happened in any game now Agassi does she get. Seasons she maybe. -- you know their games are televised yes but if it's so much war whatever that shouldn't happen. I think they you know that it -- be -- Especially you know kind of happens it's gotten better -- going to be eliminated -- and I think punishment have to be a B or to hear about that happen the player knows that -- if it's somebody regardless of murder from before and you know she's going to -- more than just two games maybe 510 days I think players will certainly think about a lot. Warner lot of people think a lot of things happened so fast. Aren't there you know yourself in the position. If you look at -- well I think the -- whenever that happens here -- all the.

Ray -- will be part of the Aspen tech technology Aspen -- all stars will be playing a team from Russia gas -- export. It is Sunday gates open at three game starts at 530 Stanley Cup will be there for photos as well it's at the edge sports center which is on heart while road. In Bedford Massachusetts seeding is somewhat limited its first come first serve. And to gain admission you just gotta bring an unwrapped toys for toys for tots which is -- a good deal for everybody great to talk to you again now I I know this is kind of a sad day for many of us who have enjoyed Tom Johnson's whipped in the and I appreciate you taken a few minutes here today.
