Not a great night to watch local sports last night unfortunately. -- you saw the Bruins lose in overtime in the closing seconds of the overtime session. Switched over you -- see the end of the the Celtics game and unfortunately. A losses you just heard Sean grandy describe Bonner rim out in the in the closing seconds -- just not have. Wonderful night to watch sports if you were in Boston last night.
Not a great -- for winners I thought the about the Celtics bucks game was very good as I said to your earlier. I'm would have. Totally. Change course from yesterday. At about -- was -- 24 hours ago. But I intelligent and the Bruins were a bad team. There -- bet you they are -- they are and and they -- letter that was a that was awful game to watch even though went to overtime. Because you had two bad teams out there and I'm not start but the Olympics if you -- two quality teams to NHL quality teams play. Then you watch those teams you'll understand how much work both of these franchises have to deal.
I also think and we won't know I guess for a few more days what situation is with with Marc Savard he's Tennessee at another specialist and Peter surely hinted yesterday that he may be done for the year we don't know that yet if if he is done for the year. I think they're gonna be hard pressed to make plants. As as goal starved is this teen is if you lose your best setup man three last night without yet I know I just. At three incident probably -- I believe I just think that if Savard is not able to play the rest of the year. Their -- place right now two points out of seventh two points behind Montreal. I think it's going to be hard. Look I'd always rather see him in the playoffs the -- in the playoffs. Even if therein I'm afraid it's gonna be above fairly quick one and a.
You know what's gonna happen. They don't make it. They're gonna miss by a point high notes and drive people crazy guys is gonna be hard for some of these other teams to polygamy whose sales Montreal.
That -- and I great rate yet I. Michael unfortunately I agree with everything you say about Montreal in Montreal on the -- users behind them today -- mean who are these but but this team that that wears the black and gold turnarounds aren't a lot better right.
You're right so it's like a lot of a lot of bad teams somebody has to make the playoffs in the Eastern Conference the same story in the NBA. Eastern Conference in the NBA Eastern Conference in hockey same story somebody -- nail down those seven and eight spots. And whoever's going to be in those seven and eight spots that can be very good.
Yes and and probably not going to be much of a playoff opponent when they get there you know and -- they're probably gonna be a very quick one and done and I will say this in in this regard at least I thought the Celtics game. Was at least entertaining it was good it was frustrating I mean Ray Allen it it's ironic you have Kevin Garnett go without a field goal early in the week and you have Ray Allen do it last night. And -- Paul -- struggling from the field. I mean -- you think that if you get anything from those two guys you probably would walk away without on pretty --
I think I don't know about easily but you're right I think they the they -- won a game and probably should've won the game. I think one thing they they could have done a lot -- is did race shops. How does he not get more looks than that I great. OKG at least had seven opportunities that against it to there's all -- against Washington. With radio but the shooter like that you know trying to. He's the guy who. Depends on screens who depends on some help to get a shot up -- off -- screens Gibson looks. I mean he knows that Jim doesn't mean better than anybody you'd think it's not like you you know I don't whenever she well here he shoots very well there.
Yeah it was just frustrating and electric said it was a frustrating night all the way around you you were frustrated. Watching the Bruins you may be not quite as frustrated as Tim Thomas. Who got taken out of the play for the game winning goal by his own guy talk about the victim of friendly fire.
I bet that as the as I sent you this morning that is the hockey equivalent of diving headfirst into first base -- which does make elect to send you to do me a big guys do would be nice to -- green -- do it all the time destroyed two a couple of times to. I don't its effort you just trying to get there you Boston get to the base but. It rarely works out in your favor. And and it's it's pretty dangerous it was just a stupid thing to do. I don't know -- Michael Ryder made a bad play and he made it worse. I just kind of stretching out there. And that and getting in the way that's what happening gotten away.
Coach almost feel like you know he gets the boarding penalty Saturday and the game misconduct. Against the islanders Sunday he doesn't respond when his teammate line may get laid out. Coach almost feel like it was he was the victim of of trying to do too much trying to show you know how -- he's gonna work how much hustling -- has. It was not it was not the right play obviously but he was beaten he was try to make up for -- was trying to get back. And unfortunately ended -- taken out Tim Thomas. Yeah I think then that may have in the Connecticut a lot of stuff well in his head right now I listen to Sean point this morning on with the NC. He will never sell out of team ever. And I respect that. But he said he admitted that somebody who was on the ice -- responded immediately. Any also admitted that most of the guys on the ice didn't even know what happened. Because they were in front of the play the shot had been made their back was to Savard they didn't know. Without saying at what he also acknowledged was that there was one guy who ditzy. Off course and there was -- outside accorsi saw. That's all of and he chose not to respond and whatever the reasons -- whatever is going on in his head. I know that he feels right now all my god what an idea. How did I not do something here. And I did find it interesting because John energy area forget which one. Said you know Mike Milbury said in the station yesterday that this team is -- and and Orton seemed shocked that Milbury said. Disagreed. And I understand that but seemed shocked at -- would have senate. Take a look at The Herald today to show on. On the peace and herald today also says that this team has been softball season lovely -- I think he he knew he was surprised I guess to hear that it will reset and I'm not surprised at all. I thought I thought that been softball yearlong. -- surprised because Miller works for NASA. Boy he shouldn't me out of it is not a featured bill Milbury is probably on nests and or NBC or anywhere else he's he's not shy about. Taking guys on and disagreeing with how they play them well and guys I'll.
Those guys rarely know I think they know on baseball lot more than they do it in and hockey and basketball. And an obviously football but baseball players. Going to the club house. And other guys who organized yet you -- the eight year year year pitcher because apparently going to the clubhouse there didn't company. It's -- to drink I don't during the game surely do it happens and they're watching TV. In their listening to Remy and -- solo. And they hear things and they go back and they tell their teammates and they go back to -- means that you believe you said this of the director or so votes that I know what are you writing negative growth -- But -- in hockey yet you don't really get an opportunity. We do that and any other sports don't get an opportunity to do that. As a football player you know Tom Brady thing and I have heard Phil Simms say this during the game -- didn't. When your team is on on defense you're standing there you're looking at pictures cannot listen into the game so maybe he's like he looks at and it's and he says. They're broadcasting. Our games. And people are being that critical. I don't know I'm elite Al pro is that a lot of pro at.
They donated don't you know our guys want you know aren't right or wrong in and it's not that way expect it is not that way for guys who were doing their job expect everybody to be hawk here.
