Andy Brickley, NESN Analyst

Scotus progress or knuckles I may have to so -- truck. Isn't -- money is that is Paul Maurice these include you know the extent. Ward's injury we still don't know yet pars he knew he would forget brain damage at the press club dinner. It is Tuesday funny and we want to my Wanda Sykes -- and the president's neck cracked and up I -- out of that was so inappropriate yeah.

game six Raleigh tonight. Our very favorite hockey analyst. Mr. -- Brooklyn will be -- guest on NASA with Jack Edwards game six in Raleigh and join us on eighteen to outline AT&T. Your world delivered good morning -- how aria. I don't cut it. Reverse kind of backwards world -- Colin Campbell's. Lack of suspense and Scott Walker. Help the -- tonight by a motivated them to win every physical battle every spot every 5050 situation on the ice tonight brick.

I think the incidence that occurred late in. Last game will serve enough to it's by the Bruins and put over the right frame of mind when it comes to. The way they need to play with a walker -- should not. There's a guy that really doesn't to a whole lot of -- and she's a good role players tough guy and everybody respects that bottom but. I don't -- the difference maker when it comes to what liberal win or lose I think all the the nastiness that finally was -- manufactured by -- and ended aided by Carolina. In game five will serve well for Boston or extradite.

My guess is this will be the easiest of the pregame speech -- from clothes and my question to you Randy gets will that include. Don't do anything stupid.

No question. No question but the protesters are savvy enough to realize that. They disagree with the suspension a lack thereof as July. And if you'd like to get some kind of justice what happened Aaron Ward. But get this thing -- to a hockey game and if somehow some way. There's a situation that arises in the games in hand by all means I would expect some kind of retribution that being said Desalvo win -- game tonight nobody knows.

Will you help a -- and because I don't understand the motivation. Four Colin Campbell to rescind the one game why not just -- it almost seemed like a compromise. The Bruins probably wanted more than 12. At least in the in the Carolina I can imagine barricade there would have been all that upset if they lost their defenseman. The forward Scott Walker for a game.

I can't explain it I'll start by saying that because it's this year. Especially for me as an analyst. There's no logic to what's coming out of New York in terms of suspension Japan bleacher. Really setting a precedent for what is allowed what is not a lot of -- you watched the game in person you see you witnessed the event you watched the replay. You apply your experience as a player and being in those types of situations it come away with the only. Conclusion is suspension just a matter how many games. And for that should be resent the rules are written plate.

I thought it was automatic or closed. And -- and -- obviously have some discretion of the he rescinded but who spoke for you know. Someone on this brew inside this I don't think it was -- somebody make a case. For the suspension. Make the case that it was. Pretty brutal cheap shot as as Barry -- said that someone make that case to the league on behalf of the Bruins.

I would have to believe that picture -- that part of his job description that he's in contact with the league with Colin Campbell. That the governing body if you will. Ed yeah you make education usually uses without question worthy of suspension and for the league project it was usually framed -- just that's what he describes. New York name's Colin Campbell on the job that they do because it doesn't seem to be any logic is in. There's been several incidences during the postseason alone even with -- each crotch check in -- Montreal series. That in itself okay. I understand that he deserves one game suspension but if you compare it to what else is going on in the other series relative -- occasion for actions in Iraq no suspensions. It leaves you distraction at -- what's going on somebody please explain this to be. And and they don't they don't accomplished that because I get no explanation what's what they don't do it there were -- it's just too if you think back to. The whole NAFTA -- with Montreal where sharp point Witten grabbed my commissar. And connoisseur would drop his gloves and fought didn't sucker punch it. You know and this is the same exact same except walker sucker punched -- that I don't understand how they into that spot suck apart.

What what is the protocol in a situation as we saw with ward and walker and I guess the question is. Has ever in the history of the National Hockey League a guy look at another guy and said do you want to gul and not been prepared to --

Even -- it -- right there's a code. If a player won't drop his gloves you know they seem to be prepared -- drop the nation's internal cover up yet. If did you see how fast this happened -- keep flying through wept and that is blogs up is already delivered right below there -- and or change without bias -- And -- to meet that -- approach -- the suspension.

That walker was a veteran and knew the coldest Alec with some stranger who just showed up from Russia. Or or from the minors -- he had to know that these were there was some on odd to think there was some honor among veterans.

You would think Jerry and the other thing beyond that is. If if you want to play the what if game you know what if this was. Donald -- hitting. Sidney Crosby down into Washington Pittsburgh series what's. That wouldn't be any different New Yorkers are they decide to make a suspension.

Yes. What about your confidence slash on -- that didn't go unnoticed either.

No that and that's sort of referring to some of the things -- right hockey game it was a great battle front between vote lead in cold ocean that went on a little too long. For it -- the way I did and analyze he gave my father briefings going to make a -- culture that happen a lot early before somebody actually it's very. The rose killed -- regain he had at least five -- is on the creature when he had control the public. When the -- out of apparently bought the in the game is direct line is bitch is right through below the change. And Dellucci chipped up with with misconduct penalty in the game so a lot of things happening especially that third period late the second disliked by you'll -- So all that stuff fresh in the minds of the brutal engine this has been a series with Boston have a difficult time buildings some kind of dislike for Carolina while I think it's firmly placed now.

Hey they got the hate that look and for judge opened in implies adding that. That the char took a dive -- never crossed my mind. And I I watch a lot of hockey you know Indian -- watch a lot of Celtics and I know when guys double Rondo as we call. And go down in hopes of getting a call. But there was no official in the area I don't understand why. Anyone would consider that they spot a situation where you would dive.

Well it. Humorous that you can it would use that phrase because if you go back to -- game four here Carolina would be crucial to face attempt options David creature cable it will -- then -- went flop the to the nation that later that he try to get totally call a place. On a rush to capacity public died by at the I guess he doesn't know Zdeno Chara well enough that you know pretty straight up pretty honest guy. I don't think died a charge can.

And clothes seem to indicate he was more offended by that that he was the that the war sucker punch he called it as cheap as it comes on the national luckily.

that Djokovic you know I don't have a good playoffs and you know he's been here for Carolina and number times in this playoff series but. He's not one of those guys speak it seeks to respect and a cups and national like leave it how you view players.

A -- says quote we have long memories it's obviously something -- not going to address this time of year. Winning games is more important and anything else but things are not forgotten what time of year do you address -- any -- they exact their pound of flesh.

While this is -- a team that they see a whole lot -- right the regular season and that's why you fear if you're hoping to see some. Can keep that. It'll the Bruins get keepsakes in hand you know three dot Ford -- in 41 whatever it might be. At any to have the opportunity when you willing to take a lot about five minute major to in order to get the players' attention that has been crossed -- line.

He's in my a novice or my imagination. And in the or is or Washington and Pittsburgh better than Carolina and Boston. They certainly look it's certainly more yeah they have ice prettier it's pretty girls that it's more aesthetically pleasing.

Yes it's been a great series obviously this -- some serious star power in the way they play is is unleashed you know they really try to play. As offensively as they hand without be irresponsible and it's it's been a fun series to watch I actually had changed one of those games came to Washington so. I don't what you speak but are they better than Boston have a bit of the Carolina. I don't think they're better than Boston legal Boston's behind in this series Carolina's butch but he occupied. But no I think this league is useful parity.

Do you think the rose -- the 22 team in history of 236 to be down this far when when a series.

Well. They -- in Canada they generally today and it's going to be really tough put absolutely I think they can do.

is getting the first one that I -- buddy that plays down.

You'd -- dispute happened but it's it doesn't mean they win or lose. -- Mitchell and all you that they can handle that it and I think a kind of Montreal which is pretty. Pretty raucous crowd at a great all the home ice advantage they got and I want to put both those games up -- in game 34 shall that would be a --

And we'll look at your record your your your bio and you have played some crazy you know minor league outposts. Utah. -- and you -- everywhere between. Have you ever seen better -- hockey cheerleaders and.

Isn't this doesn't happen.

Cheerleaders. Are it's a new concept in an actual -- cheering we didn't.

And you might as you never have them and one of those crazy minor league a picture and analysts and then like cross dressing cheerleaders. In bought them and what was the craziest thing you sell off the -- and in -- in -- Minor league and you you were you toiled in so many years.

But all if they can be --

Now most craziest place you've played.

Well crazy market was unbelievable to it was like playing in the NHL the stand still while talking you're Canada would expect and you -- somebody other places that you don't I don't we played. We played in Vegas when I play the NHL you've mentioned -- Denver. You know we played places like Vegas San Diego it. Some of the page are those if you go to we gave in Vegas and it's impressionist right you don't get a thirty elvis' -- manner that Ireland and rose. So its its varied but you don't really know about the hockey.

Yeah considerate in the book that and I think that. Its net pay in those situations you have to keep your head more on a swivel than you do in the national -- begin to get my guess is per capita there are more insane. Players on the -- who northern rock and make it in the big show and it just doing their thing at that level.

Yeah but these litigation which valued Canada run through the roster figure out who was who didn't know what you were on the ice against those specific players -- it may be your little bit more aware that you. Normally would be. And it all potential where you're ready -- your career when the very young and upcoming try to do the same thing as far as you know. Earn your stripes get the national like in the -- confederate it's earned the respect that. People currently -- Hillary.

Visit if you if you'll indulge beat the -- the walker war situation one more time and apparently Al walker was able to tell Colin Campbell something. On the telephone in the interview that it. Here is what was said between the two of us that made me think it was time to fight. Thus -- gamble does not suspend him what put yourself in in in Ian Ian walker shoes. What why would you make up what story would you make up what words would you say that might convince the NHL discipline -- disciplinarian that it was not a soccer but what might have said Andy.

Well first of all a lot of things -- sent out yes and and and you don't you know drop the gloves just because you haven't a conversation about. The only thing that I can think of John is that ward challenged me. He's so let's go and that's the only thing that makes any kind of remote sense that they would say all right these tours are engaged in an altercation. Should they apartment drop my gloves and get an early studded fight that's the only thing that makes any kind of sense and even that is a re.

And and and I revisit the question that I asked you before has anybody ever the National Hockey League to your knowledge said let's go. And left his gloves on and as you point out is hands down by its ships factories and those words now.

But -- services this is illogical makes no sense. And I repeat it but if you look at the money aspect of it that's ridiculous 2500 dollars for these guys that inaudible what -- makes but. It's certainly guest on the tonight hundreds -- probably closer normally.

Yeah point five try wouldn't that be a hundred times yet what he's being. Find two point five and not been for Maurice right where his standup comedy routine after the game.

Yeah replay of that was pretty -- method but rates and he's usually he's usually pretty good pretty straight holes. Usually says most of the right things but yeah that was a.

Always battle line -- do you think so you agree or you do you believe we will see ward. On the ice tonight.

I -- I think he'll play especially given the bruins' defense situation with public parents already out if there's a way that what can play he'll definitely on tape. --

Name mini -- there may not yet it may not and by the deliberate and outlook you've turned on sports center in seeing Barry Melrose. Just just the tip here don't fall asleep on the tanning bed before. It is it is tiberi today.

I hit all -- have -- it is I did appreciated comments I -- yeah yeah history God's decision should -- adequacy of the NHL blue I can't believe units they'll did not suspend walker but apparently policy that any -- as a white. The white cops are on his eyes yeah click record and the rest of -- basis virus vehicles equipment and a -- don't do that preparation for game six tonight. I get such an outsized -- art -- via Egypt and the prickly at NASA hockey analyst with Dennis and Callahan brought to you by the river in Lincoln roll out so much so close that missed any part of this interview you can hear it again by logging on to WB.

EEye has a life of hockey nomad brick yeah I gotta do you NH and 82. Years professional concern career -- it.
