Big one for the Boston Bruins last night at the TD garden they blanked the Pittsburgh Penguins three to nothing. One guy who watched the game probably with some mixed emotions. Aziz sent a bit of a Bruins fan but he had a little more rooting interest on the other side. The father of Chris Bork who made is Boston NHL debut last night ray Bork joins us on the line good morning Raymond. -- has gone our rate. You have seen Chris play before and you've seen him play in the NHL before but it had to be a little weird last night in year old building.

All those great. Chris was really excited about it and and -- sister and brother were real excited we're all their -- and not to like and so on come back to Boston and and I'm not true play. In -- Our little -- And in many -- so those on the watch.

You know I think as as fans -- we always assume that if if your -- is ray Bork. I always -- his dad's report so of course is going to be. Pro professional hockey player -- how did you approach it when the kids were participating in sports did you. Did you push them towards sports that you -- you did you have a hands off approach amended it's a very delicate thing when you have Bork is your last name.

While. Well let's -- plan for the right reasons considered very passionate hockey. You know it's oh wonder when they're young little kids and around ordering and you know view. That your days where you know practiced like. Lucy -- your whatever and combating terror you know it's a situation deeper into practice and and -- case. You know used to it after -- Haskins. Skates on and on nights and and he's just you know it would come with practice you skate before our guys would take great care of the center in practice there's -- to the glass is watching products in this -- and -- around the -- and that's -- it was with Christopher Ryan I would. -- and it took a little while longer to be like in the -- he would I don't want -- Gator and the quick Astoria. Rather it was maybe six years old most in the park yourself and post on the road and or couples and Serbs. Random -- up the born who is 6 o'clock again. There simply means is you are certain respect. And like crystal -- you gotta get out. Reliable shall -- so as well. Come on line at the construction school practice since warlords or garlic and really the -- Tokyo war time to. Get used to be literally hours and but the he Garko and and do very well and so for now to.

Last night on the versus telecast they showed a great picture of you -- cam in -- jerseys standing by -- net and Christopher was sitting on top of the net. And you think about I'd I'd be around the -- I see in the morning skate -- practice days. I mean the people that he had to teach in the game beyond his Hall of Fame father is a pretty impressive list.

I just sit out the word. You know usually when something during their -- at practice through whatever. The rest of the guys discovered gather up and take care of children's kids and structure under yards -- only go up -- the guys and they just have so much Torvalds and -- in after. That you hold up much with sentiment -- like the actual what you just are gonna -- these other guys and to coordinate to. Aren't to be in the in a few folks on to and you know the caucus means little hockey players and Iran environment -- their ticket programs sometimes. To only get two extra days to realize what the what can live -- what they went through. It for the kids and then not only in mind when every other chemicals into the room -- Baltic internal.

And I'm curious what your thoughts have been about Sidney Crosby watching him as a player. And whether chris' experiences of playing on the same team with a -- changed your opinions at all.

Arafat was. You know without -- as closely as I have this year that he was it is best currently in the -- and after watching them play this. A lot more. On its own precedent and penguins in closer. It distrust department would significantly gardens and credible count but such a hard worker in the regardless is really passionate Google's part about the game and -- from the launch.

You know I know you're paying attention to your son last night for obvious reasons but what did you think of of the bruins' performance less and they can't.

Nichols saw that'll -- brigade Pittsburgh very much. Terms of a scorcher. And real solid in the last couple games have been. Also remember who. Actually see even though Leo the -- to -- cardinal lineup and it's had a heart terms or goals and when you have a -- a bargain that'll learn a the core corporate structure or power play is that -- probably the best setup. In the league. You know you're partly Scotland and software and your -- is gonna suffer brought. Will be nicer to keep fiscal and not until they got some bargain deal on back can you know with Syria. -- it'll it'll run here and then you have and fusion of some bargain and -- com. You know that's that's what it -- importance inspector. In order. A lot better hockey right now on last week which so -- It's struggled by the last couple words with the apparent here.

I'd said and before this little stretch for the kind turned it around I was a little disappointed in effort from this team and I'm not used to saying that. About Bruins teams did you feel they were giving as much effort as they could've -- should've during the stretch where things were going very well.

What seemed like the it could be given more. But let's kill. After the success -- last year. You know sometime during it's just gonna happen in forgot you forget how it happened in this in -- you look at how the -- lecture cult consistently work. And there are effort and how hard they would play eager to help physical and how old. Poll. Is that plates so much good defense and that's why you know commitment and play hard worker hard. You know and in the success they had last shoot I. The district you know they might have been -- little will compliment. And -- it's look at the spot is gonna happen and and again it'll get and how it happened and actually to be back on track and I got to give a lot of credit ecological and couldn't. You know I don't see what you find a way to get these the culture news -- is that things straight and that's that's right and seems like he's. He's back on that track again and again is our focus final.

What are what you think of -- rally as a general manager or some. Questions about him when he first got here and there were even more questions when his first coach and he he bailed on its code first coach after a year but there what do you think of the job he's done.

You got (%expletive) that's lot of courage to realize that maybe you'd you'd made a mistake or whatever the situation -- with the first conference. I think he's done a good job and his record speaks for itself last couple years of -- Got battered gotten younger and and these young guys coming up in and and such an attack and -- And it'll happen yeah. It on the guts to cannot find work of the council would take and that you know those too much money or that. And -- really wore -- inflexible. Go a lot of and possibly some higher draft choices and an apple deal will be interest consider how that all choked by some tough decisions he's made that the -- that once and officials the end result and and seems like they're getting better every year and that's what you're looking for so so far to go for it.

Via the Bruins have always had as their cornerstone great defenseman front. From Bobby or through Brad Park through ray Bork is a Dana char and that -- on that list as well.

For sure and in there's no player that's -- to play against them since then. He has a monster opener and I know followed for that would -- you're going down could slide all right it's not a -- would be looking forward to. And you know -- is such a hard worker and it's such a professional colleague approaches everything. You know and then again you know -- look at that would ignores last year. It's been slow itself and that is definitely can be among. -- great defensemen that place in the.

I understand that the Pittsburgh Penguins had lunch at Prescott you'll be happy to know Gerry Callahan this morning on the air said. He had a great -- press get you one of the few athletes is gone into the restaurant business and made it work.

worker at school well there is that particular. They are. Trust have a better or where the game -- there and got communal good guys and two great spot you know. You know in north partners is pretty special place and weren't relocation of the special restaurants so. So far so good the trust construction collapsed -- where in a lot of people struggling. In an industry and so we've been pretty solid and pretty good and so. Keep those fingers crossed that the continues but you know Saddam's for the food and environment these people come back and keep referring.

They congratulations on now watching Chris play last night and Ewing Chris in the and the other kids had a great time. I know is a lot of fun for you and it's always fun to talk hockey with you thanks. Art creek airport -- that is up Boston Bruins Hall of Fame defenseman Raymond Bork.
