Joining us on the AT&T hotline AT&T your world alert. From -- NASA and then NBC. Hockey Night in Canada all these other places Mike Milbury and Mike I don't. -- On on -- right thanks. I've already stated in my opinion about Scott Walker and his coach Paul Maurice what's your take on what happened last night.
Stop happened in all -- in the game it was obviously are critical for the Bruins then. And from the Carolina are in -- they were introduced really for the first my -- there. And it's it would finished second at the national art it would do that. Lots and intensity lots of you know like to their gain. And he responded I think it was a proper response go. But if people going to crossbow. He crossed thought it. Fortunately error or it was that is -- about it actually it looked like -- was pocket which -- try to talk Wichita but when they're before he -- some great. And I think he deserves a lot of but you know as far as walker is concerned. It's it's a hockey. Not that we went. Into I think he should should you in the dark chair where. And -- so blood. Given its sensitive moment in law. Total price deity are Eric doubt that it has already put it could very wealthy that would block if you want them.
My did you think it was a cheap shot Andy and did you in do you think that this is one of those is 82 game suspension if you're commissioner one game what would you do. Yeah.
I think he's been pretty consistent call him over the course of these play out is pretty much what the boys go their way. With the exception of the or share it which was -- need to -- and very harmful. Is pretty much what the guys it'll. Do year old Leo what officials are here it's call I would stated that is not responsible and much. Of -- It looked like war -- squared off with somebody and that walker -- because it was former -- One shot and then -- another -- that was unnecessary. Should be suspended not for me. And this is hurt it is or Arab or maybe -- but fortunately -- of the okay. -- been preaching of -- The virtues of the physical aspect. McCain for a long -- which they a lot of without and I think there's apparently don't want war but some are going to get what what player on the air.
Mike according to -- Julian it. They think -- Mort has a broken orbital bone.
Well I which is it's a different story that I haven't heard any I haven't heard any information about that but. If she's whack like that then there in that situation. I think -- of that sort if you -- there was no question it was a cheap shot and in Aaron was not outlook in walker that the more than anything else. If they had been squared off and go eyeball to eyeball. Then at walker decided take the first shot that's what we're able orders. Is looking away look at epidemic these initially in the oil where. Well questioned their cheap shot a practice here that -- potentially. Potentially got hurt I would be here awful blow --
Let's talk about the games here for a second Mike. We played five games the hurricanes have won three album. They were succeed. In the regular season Bruins were one how has this number six -- Been able to really take control of the series get out to a 31 lead and then. You know now be up 32 going home.
If by -- like a lot of people read it I I agree. Bruins were wrapped and ready and that and Terrell Arctic were. A little hung over from there went over -- They came back to forming into them than meets are a bruised I think got caught forget that this might be. It's easier as some people thought people all along -- The -- soft underbelly it would give it their defense has not real quick. And Carolina matchup was very speedy forwards going to put intense pressure on the growing concern -- are made the war. It looks low -- the more senior Israelis -- reduced -- for Arafat that. But right in their air and meet our approach were able to -- fortunate that was their arms salt on the heels consistently. The results were were obvious and painful. But yesterday. No they got their vote -- that they've -- they're they're like. The platelet the trying to edge of the broad support with most of your it would kind of intently on the fortune. Or South Carolina. Defects and twice but what they do with -- And it -- but -- of people -- Here are on the table are stronger anything remotely in the late stages of this season. In other got a lot of guys have been there before it will not be easy tomorrow right but the fact routers. I'm hoping that the Bruins. Their confidence back that it -- so -- it made it should have been surprised. That they had in this kind of thing and it's the longer -- but weren't able to recover or yesterday is too late well. --
Mike we're talking about this before you came on my point is that I I think Carolina. Is faster than the -- not necessarily more talented but faster dale disagrees what do you think.
I think -- forward group is definitely faster have a whole. Also that it sucked me from the benefit of a guy like awful lot -- been some. Somewhat critical of the past but I think a couple long way in deserves credit he's a breakaway type player I've ruined yeah. Himself apart. Because news. I don't think there's any doubt in my we. -- certain corporate group -- we -- overwhelmingly court there are suspected that there -- strike. It doesn't in the pros don't have good -- long before that but they have better -- score sheet. It should be able to attack was treated any for a lot over the course of sixteen bit. Particular bears look -- over a lot of they're they're going to scores. In our.
Are the Bruins better team -- Carolina right now do you think.
As yesterday's expects a patent yesterday there are better team but. You know why would play the games are what the entry is so grave and as a widely. You know that what's often -- a Judas is such a tremendous difference. That they are pretty but it was surprised Yasser there was a lot of the Bruins to respond. There's no doubt about abroad character this season they've -- Yet. The -- comeback for. From couple -- making them back -- You know street late in the scene and then think about whether they'll regain the war based collaboration. So this stated there are -- there is. Is really not -- given the fact we're gonna wear or at least sixty shares are Carolinas up street to. But I think they have every right to expect to go to Carol are -- Specter when are.
Mike is there coaching adjustments that -- either guy has made that impressed you.
Well I think yesterday I think partly quote got -- worse yet. And make sure these guys they're -- back they. Since better in feeling like they were all result. All there vehicles and electric that was big that was the difference I think the Carolina. Whether -- an adjustment or just there's. The shake out after this belongs certainly -- integrity. I thought they are and what was being there at a resiliency. That was extraordinarily effective. It would there was a rated -- apart result transition in their sense offense -- eagle -- Carolina never gave an opportunity to get there well. You know they lock up turn over parks and they don't care -- quickly -- And it's because of the sensitive position fortunate. The state that break out as an awfully important part of smart I peculiar in Carolina. Sure closer where that spots but it's controversial was not China should you. We just -- are going to let or talked about yesterday play a little but it dark cherry are. -- get it out resolve it here forward Soviet. But don't try to be particularly. Say it in your your your --
You see -- and enough split the stick around and use the heel of his stick to shop the back of Zdeno Chara is ankle Chara went down went to the locker room did come back out and play you've been around these things enough -- to know what I think I know. Which is that once you take that skate off. And once you go to bed at night things are probably worse the next day I would expect he'll at least be somewhat hampered tomorrow night.
Yeah. So the first -- we're -- right to speak about the deal as the report chop across it. Particularly what's your what's your church are legitimate and not protect the spot. I watched that several -- or forged. -- this was what happens in the course redeem -- some serious. Just happened to catch in the right spot which is unfortunate and and I'm sure. Sure medical staff was all over aspiring. Well fortunately I. Simply Evernote is about injuries it's not broker. It's not sprain it's just the contusion those kinds of things that they can be treated pretty affect the course afforded hours of directors of there.
My what have you thought of the series that I'm jealous that I can't watch a consistently. Washington Pittsburgh.
Living right. Businesses. It's great stuff Ortiz and it's as CE. Crosby who's everything and everybody wants there -- player sent directly and everything politically correctly. Still is get this washing a free spirit that everybody seems to be gravitating. It's a real great. Great series and at the -- now finally come back induced -- and make an impression. That's that future that's where I respect for -- you know typical for a while alt. You know young civic and -- played extraordinary well continue to suitor. Maturity level of a guy like Marc Andre Fleury -- write -- what now open in the dark chart which news. A major blow I was I was very I -- that -- still Washington or certain part but. I had no chance went out on chart there's. Coaching adjustments that was it. Extraordinarily well such urged that. They got it together so that we lost -- lost -- is gone on this series. But we don't need anybody to be circuit on chart we need to repeat yourself play initial well in here means keep it simple. It's helpful forward. And one at Washington at one. Trap game for. Our problems. -- that's the way it was. Despite it. That's the way they decided -- I think Washington still has about -- It's you're right it's that. Sorry -- able to retreat.
Too much stuff going on here man we got I got the Bruins got the Red Sox got the Celtics to those teams in the playoffs is too much to think about.
I've read sort spoke for a couple -- Celtics. Were all gonna himself which the other -- but it. Or are they are right now so I I can't get enough bureaucrats can. I -- the match up for. It's been there is that it has more that are I think. Agents have great players call for Adobe OBL is a part we expected more.
It looks like. Something happened over the last weekend and somebody in the on the Mighty Ducks are on the Anaheim Ducks a squad woke up in that whole crap that's the Detroit Red Wings -- not other locker room they look like they're coming back -- a little bit.
Yeah they do are all of us in the -- Fairly decent that illustrate the -- is so good we never get on the mouse I ever get enough credit because so -- read. Or and -- you know -- network are are ignoring it and -- what they're the smart if they're not the best it's ever been -- It's hard because over there of yours they're -- only the most intelligent. And control that I've -- I -- That the guys. It's a slight yet but it abortion and it actually starts at all. Tries to throw it isn't. And people always -- They have left -- apple -- It's sort of -- wants to sit down and don't -- You want a break it at oracle -- and then. What looks like to -- The -- certainly this year and these guys. What flight they fight through every they're not afraid to -- all straight fronts and go to the front of the net stand there and Lidstrom. And even without wells. And waste it apart the government that they get -- directions. Zetterberg and got -- just very -- such economy of movement. They are in space where they need to -- and go to place -- have to beyond such. I think there's just for mark what do and that's -- the goaltender Chris who's. Not had the -- remarkable what is that are that are brought that remarkable at all.
The Bruins have never won a series in there are still being in their history when they've trailed three games to one will this be different.
Close but district court they'll they'll look back now every year -- status so. This is a new group. I think they've felt good about each other all -- all gonna do it. Code -- great keep them focused on the Internet and not not what's happened in the past. I think -- great opportunity to go Carolina. And and straight away and assuming. Everybody's healthy and ready to go a close to a 100% at least most other server at the start of the year. It's just the and take it. Say what happens after that but the sixty minutes out of got a team that they've beaten twice -- there's already. And that sacked twice and sort of -- it. And take take a couple points or more that should be yeah very interesting -- or whatever happens. I think yesterday it was a yet another -- the character for the pros and without like caller.
Sounds like you're ready to go into the -- has -- give my pregame speech.
Yeah well thought hey I can ice -- up about these are current system is going to be a great. That's going to be -- it's great problem for me it worked for you know ninety games to get to this position. Have we singers are -- airline in. Marlene o'clock -- the pack it up but look at fur covered golf course they're ready to move on the road games suck which is always. Always special.
